Excerpts (Please Choose Only One)
Excerpt #1
“Ok, how about you just come to our first meeting and talk
to him,” she exasperated. “I was talking to him about you.”
“About me? Why?” I interrupted.
“Just listen, you
might want to hear this,” she whispered. “I was talking to him about you, and I
showed him a picture of you and he thinks he knows you. He was very interested
in meeting you. In fact, he insisted that I bring you to our first meeting.”
Excerpt #2
Snap out of it! Say hello dummy. “Call me Lylah, hi, nice to meet you too,” I
said stretching out my hand to meet his, frozen in place, mesmerized with his
beautiful blue eyes. I felt I could see straight through to his soul. His face
was so strong and at the same time so tender, I felt lost in his expression.
Holding my gaze and my hand longer than the usual greetings
last, he let go, and he moved slightly back, letting me go pass him to the
sofa.
I looked around as I made my way to the sofa, admiring all
the trophies displayed in the family room where we were gathered. Instead of a
family room, it looked like a shrine for Britney. This seemed to be very typical of parents
with an only child. There were pictures on display from her first step to her
junior year. Cheerleading trophies, Dance Competition trophies, you name it,
she's done it. After making my way to my seat, I took a deep breath and I
suddenly felt at ease and not nervous at all, my nerves had disappeared.
“So what do you have in mind?” He asked us, his eyes met
mine once again, and this time I looked down, afraid that he would see straight
through to me. I was afraid he would be able to know exactly what I was
thinking, how in awe I was of him. How immature I felt, be strong, he’s only a
guy, I said eagerly to myself. Then again, so what if he looks at me, and
notices how in awe I am of him? With my newly found confidence, I found myself
admiring him even more. I thought how his white t-shirt showed his muscles on
his chest and arms just right, and how his blue jeans formed around him
perfectly. He really was beautiful, and I couldn’t take my eyes off of him, but
it was much more than that, although his physical appearance was nice,
something about him was drawing me to him, and I couldn’t explain it.
Excerpt #3
I took a deep breath closed my eyes and began to sing the
simplest song I knew. I prayed I
wouldn’t forget any of the words, and that I wouldn’t get flat.
I managed to finish without messing up the words, I think I
stayed on key and most importantly I didn’t pass out. I kept my eyes closed the entire time,
therefore, I didn’t know if he was pleased or not. If he thought I was awful, I would only know
when I opened my eyes.
By the time I opened my eyes and lifted my head, he was up
from his seat, at my side, and whispered, “now was that so hard? You did
great,” he said as his fingers slightly graced my chin.
Excerpt #4
“Dance with me,” he said. I took his hand and started
engaging in a slow romantic dance. He
softly started gliding his hands up and down my back as we danced. I ran my
fingers through his hair, and I could feel me clutching tighter and tighter to
him. He took one of his hands from my
back and gently moved my hair from the front to the back. He passionately kissed my neck and worked his
way to my mouth. His kiss was deep, but
soft at the same time. It had a force behind it, almost like he’d been keeping
it in for months. I returned the kiss in
the same vigorous way. We were both like
magnets pulling toward each other, we could not break free.
