DESCRIPTION
Mira
did not know what she had in store the day she fell asleep while wanting to
escape her current situation. Overcoming a death from someone so close and
burying herself in school and an internship has kept her somewhat awake and
alive. An admiration for the actor, James Dean was all that kept the memory of
her father alive. If she couldn’t be with her father, she could at least
remember what they shared an admiration for together. She always wanted to meet
James Dean… she didn’t know it would come true. Be careful what you wish for.
It may just come true.
About
this author
Born
in Manhattan, New York and raised in Connecticut, I found that I was more
interested in what went on in the past, than in the future. This makes me a
huge history buff. I’ve always enjoyed reading books starting from ancient
history, fantasy, science fiction, poetry, and of course romance. I also loved
the arts so my first love was once drawing and painting until I found a new
medium that would inspire me to try something new.
What led me to write? I started to write poetry when I fifteen years old. This was all due to a family member sending me a poem that she had written and sparked a fire that has never gone out. I began to write my heart out and went from writing poetry to my own stories. I love to write with a bit of everything from romance, humor, and of course adventure. Everything inspires me from art, people, and music

Excerpt
My life couldn’t
be more complete. As we reached the apartments, I slowly got off the bike,
surprised at myself that I had done this. Ordinarily, I’d never get on a
motorcycle. James leaned over and caressed my cheek. Before I could open my
mouth to tell him what was to happen to him, he gave me a quick peck on the lips.
I couldn’t let James walk away, not now.
Something in me grasped his wrist; my
breath caught in my throat. I no longer cared about the rain. I must have
looked like a drowned rat to him. “I have to tell you something,” I blurted as
I waited for his reaction.
James smiled, then chuckled as he
caressed my face. The rain was
preventing me from seeing clearly. “Sweetheart, it’s raining and you’re soaked.
I hope this is important.” Pulling him
toward me, I faced him. I could change history. I could have him live out his
life as he was meant to. If I couldn’t save my father, I could save him.
“In the future, when you become famous,
please be careful. Remember this: there will be a day that you are off to a
race. You will not see a car until it’s too late. James, please promise me. It
could mean your life.” I must have sounded like a complete and total idiot to
him. Geez! I think I watched Back To The Future too many times. I
sounded like Marty talking to the professor about his impending death.
Chuckling, he shook his head, expelling
the rain off his head and onto me. Laughter erupted between us as I covered my
face. He then cupped my face, kissed my forehead. “Are you sure you’re not an
angel? I cannot promise anything, but baby, I can promise I’ll see you
tomorrow. I’ll pick you up here and you can ditch your responsibilities. Ride
with me.”
Sighing, now I knew how all those girls
felt when they looked at him. What an offer that would be. Ditch school to ride
with the man who was loved by so many. I was determined he’d listen to me. Gripping his hands from my face, I gazed into
his eyes. “I’m serious!”
Before I could utter another word, his
lips descended on mine. My body went toward him and melted. I couldn’t help but
respond as I brought him closer. I was
lost in his warm lips as they caressed mine. Lingering near my lips, he
breathed, “I know you are.” Then, winking as he kissed me again, smiling that
beautiful smile of his, “How else can my angel guard me if she isn’t with me?”
Review:
I have never understood the whole scream and
yell, throw your bra, pass out crazy that some girls get for celebs... mostly
musicians, like the Beatles or Elvis or anyone.
But I could almost get it for James Dean. He was cool.
Still wouldn’t do the whole scream and throw my bra or pass out thing,
but I would probably hyperventilate.
This story is about grief, James Dean, and
learning to live again after loss. This
is a very short story about a shared love of James Dean between a father and
daughter. After her father dies the
daughter is left with school, work, and memories of James Dean until a fateful
night when James Dean reminds her that there is more to life than work.
I give this story 3.5 out of 5 clouds. I would have liked more depth. It was remarkable for the length, but I felt
like I didn’t get everything I could have if it had been just a little longer.
