Prologue
Walking home one day I ran into the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She had long dark curls and big blue eyes. She was the type of woman you could easily fall in love with. All the curves in the right places it seemed. I stood there watching her for some time. I could have sworn at the time I had fallen in love, but I have always told myself that love at first sight was impossible that it was a sham. Who would believe you could fall for someone without taking the time to talk and get to know them? Maybe, I was wrong because I knew at that moment I was in love. It's hard to explain the feelings I felt all at once. Strange as it is, I think she might acctually be the one. Who knows? I just hope to see her again and mayb ask her out.
So it began my search for the woman of my dreams. The one who was walking that side walk on that beautiful spring day. I never knew I could fall for a woman the way I had. I always precived myself as mostly choosing guys, but she caught my eye. It was different. It was like she called to heart. I know it goes against much of who I am, but I don't care. Let people talk. Let them say what they want. As I started out on my search I found myself walking in the small park that was just a couple blocks from my house. Most would have thought to go straight to the sidewalk that you first saw the person, but not me. I figured if she was anything like me she might just be hanging at the park by herself sitting on the bench maybe watching passersby.
I can't seem to get her out of my head. Every direction I turn I picture her standing there blocking everything out. I sighed inwardly as my thoughts carried me to her. I stood standing in the middle of the side walk just picturing her. Man, I must be obsessed or something. These thoughts I wish would fade away just a little, so I wouldn't feel like I was a stalker or an obsessed person. While I'm standing there my good friend Kate bumps into me. I end up looking at her and giving her a friendly smile.
"Hello, Kate." I say, but she seems in too much of a hurry to stop for a conversation. However, I do catch a glimpse of fear on her face as she walks by.
Watching Kate walk away, I stand with worry now taking the place of the thoughts of my mystery girl. I quickly shake the thoughts of the "What if's" that had suddenly formed grimacing at a few of them.
I slowly start to walk towards the park once Kate is out of site. Inwardly I sigh. "I really hope she is okay." I think to myself. Making my way to the park I start my search for the one who my heart has chosen.
As I walk through the park I try to keep a look out for those long beautiful brown curls that reach to the middle of her back. Just the thought of her brings a smile to my face. I start imagining what things could be like. Her lips would be soft a luscious. When our lips touch hers would be soft against mine. I smile just thinking of all the possibilities. I slowly start to wonder what her smile would be like as I once again become further lost in my fantasy world.
She's there. I'm there. We both are enjoying each other's company. Hand in hand we walk along the beach....I shake my head when my thoughts take me too far.
Chapter 1
That was two years ago. Since then I have been trying to forget about her, but my heart won't let me. I know I haven't yet introduced myself, but it's the mystery of the whole thing isn't it? Not to know who is talking or who you run into until sometime down the road you finally introduce yourself?
I see it as that. Why say who I am if I can't find the girl who called out to me? At least she called out to my heart.
Since the two years have passed I've tried to move on from her. I can't help but think that maybe I will run into her again. It might take a long time, but I'm bound and determined that it will happen. Nothing could ever change my mind. Not even my current boyfriend Kevin.
Kevin, the blue eyed, tall 6'4, dark blonde hair hunk. The one that many dream about. You could easily get lost in those eyes. He knows about my little ordeal with the girl. He thinks that I could be right about running into her again sometime down the road, but then again he does think she was probably just a figure of my imagination. Like my mind was playing a trick on me or something.
I know she was real. Every part of her was real. Her face. Her beauty. Everything about her. If only I could prove to Kevin and myself that she was.
I wake up hearing the alarm go off. When I look at the clock it reads 4 a.m. I sigh and rub my face when sitting up. As every morning I look over to see Kevin still asleep. I nudge him a little to try and get him up because if I don't he will never get up on time for work. With him being a heavy sleeper and all.
I yawn as I get up from the bed ad walk over to the closet to pull out something to wear. I choose just a simple pair of jeans with a light blue shirt. Before I can turn around Kevin's arms are around my waist and he is kissing my neck. I smile. "Good morning to you too, babe." I tilt my head towards him to try to connect my lips with his.
"Good morning, my love." He speaks in a soft, yet husky voice. I immediately melt at the sound of his voice. It always sends shivers over my body filling me with joy. He returns my kiss, but with a depth that I have never felt from him before. The passion being so intense that my knees almost buckle to the point I would have collapsed if he wasn't holding on to me. I sink into his arms my lips remaining in sinc with his for a few more seconds before mumbling. "You might not make it to work if we keep this up."
He presents me with a sly smirk sending my mind into a frenzy of what he could all have up his sleeve. I give him a weary smile. He says, "I'll save you for desert later." He then walks towards the bathroom to take his shower. While he's in the shower I slip on my jeans and shirt then make my way down the stairs to prepare breakfast and a pot of coffee.
I walk over to the fridge as soon as I get the coffee going to see what we have that I can use to make breakfast. I notice we really don't have much and think to myself, "I really should head to the store for some food." I place that in the front of my mind for a to-do list for later on.
I decide to make Kevin and myself some eggs and toast. Something simple and what sounds nice with coffee this morning. As I start to prepare the food I hear a knock on the door.
I walk over to the door tripping over the leg chair that was down for some unknown reason. I end up hitting my head on the edge of the table. I call out, "I'll be right there."
I move my head to the spot on my head that I hit and notice there is a small amount of blood there. I shrug it off and make my way to open the door.
"Who is it?" I say before I open the door.
A woman's voice responds, "It's Delilah." I open the door and welcome her in. She's such a beautiful woman. Brown hair about 5'6 maybe. I know her to be Kevin's beautiful secretary.
"What brings you by this morning Delilah?" I closing the door.
"I have some urgent news for Mr. Nicholas" She replies. I nod wondering what the news could be.
"Make yourself at home. He shouldn't be much longer, he was just finishing up in the shower." Walking back the kitchen for three cups of coffee I signal to the kitchen table as an option for her to sit.
I bring out the cups of coffee setting one in front of Delilah and one in front of myself setting the third down on the side for when Kevin comes down from his shower. "What's the urgent news?" I ask curiously taking a sip of my coffee.
