Excerpt:
His words made my heart soar,
my whole body felt warm and my heart rate began steadily gaining speed. Knowing how badly this visit could have gone,
I couldn’t help but push my luck, “Max, I need to ask you one more thing. Could you stay just another minute?”
Max glanced at the watch on
his wrist, and I could tell he really did need to leave. “Yeah, but I’ve already been gone for way too
long. My partner’s got to be looking for
me by now.” He moved a hair closer to
me, and I could hardly contain my excitement.
“I know this isn’t the best
place, and I understand if you tell me no, but if I don’t ask, it’s going to
drive me crazy. I was wondering if you
feel anything weird around me?” This
sounded so strange, but I didn’t know how best to articulate my question. I needed to know if it was only my
imagination.
Max looked me straight in the
eye, “Weird, like what?”
I felt the flush of
embarrassment on my cheeks as I asked quietly, “Like, chemistry, a little?”
Max stood still as a statue
staring at me sitting almost straight up in my bed. His smile faded a little as he leaned into me
and whispered, “You mean like this?” He softly slid his hand behind my head,
pulling my lips up to his. Gentle at
first, then increased intensity until I found that I had wrapped both my arms
around him, wires protruding from every direction, and my entire body
tingled. I grew lightheaded as he eased
his face away from mine. He gently
lowered my head back to my pillow and moved his hand to my face. Max traced my lips with his index
finger. After a few outlines of my lips,
he responded quietly, “Chemistry, huh?
No, I hadn’t noticed.” His wide
smile reappeared with a vengeance.
My heart monitor went crazy,
jumping well into the 100s as an alarm blared to life as if to tell the world
what had just happened. Max reached over
and pushed a button on the monitor and the alarm muted instantly. As he leaned in for what I was sure was going
to be just as passionate as our first kiss, his pocket beeped.
Max stopped, rolled his eyes
and fished in his pocket, pulling out his blackberry. He looked at the screen with disappointment
in his eyes. “Hey, we just got a
call. I really have to go. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for continuing
this conversation tomorrow, but I really can’t stay.”
“I’d like that, too,” unable
to say anything else.
He kissed my cheek, “I can’t
wait to tell Missy about tonight.
Bye.” Max darted out the door as
he sprinted off to save someone’s life.
The jealous part of me hoped he was being called to help an old fat man.

Book Review:
So romantic, sweet, cute, a little
magical, and very fun. This story has
all those elements. It is a great story
about what would happen if you had a destiny mapped out and knew because your
soul mate and destiny came to you in a dream and told you about it… then you
actually met them in person but they didn’t have the same memories.
I give this story 4 out of 5 clouds.
