Excerpt:
The date with Daniel was going better
than Alicia had expected, and when she took his arm as they prepared to leave
the restaurant, she thought over their exchanges. He actually showed genuine interest in what I
do, and he didn’t make me feel like some kind of freak when I told him about my
education. The lightness she felt was soon tempered when she
recalled the conversation about her childhood, and she glanced at the side of
his face as they moved through the tables to see if he noticed her change in mood.
I can’t believe
I told him that story. Why am I so comfortable around him? When he held my
hand, it was almost as if… Why did I feel better? It was like he took the panic
away, but… What am I even thinking about?
The coolness of the night air shocked her
out of her inner thoughts, and she took a deep breath as they moved onto the
paved path near the water. The three-quarter moon’s light reflected off the
lake’s still, black surface. The sound of leaves as they swished and swayed in
the wind filtered down, creating a background din that made her feel as if the
trees cheered for them as they walked by.
The light wind blowing in her face was
like a cool caress, and she closed her eyes for a brief moment and tried to
turn off her thoughts. “It’s beautiful out here tonight.”
“Mm-hmm.” Daniel nodded in agreement
before he pulled her hand from the crook of his elbow. They both stood still
while he took off his blazer, and when he held it up, she smiled and allowed
him to drape it over her shoulders.
“Thanks.”
“No problem. The breeze is a little
chilly tonight.”
The scent of his cologne danced around
her nostrils, and she found herself fighting the urge to pull the collar to her
nose and sniff. It was a clean fragrance with a soapy undertone she liked a
lot. When she returned her hand to the bend of his elbow, he pulled his arm
closer to his body, and the backs of her fingers rubbed against his side. She
could feel the muscles beneath the skin, firm and toned, but not massive. He works out.
There was an unexpected comfort she felt
in his presence, and as she realized it, panic began to surface. You don’t know him.
You never do things like this. Just go home and go back to your reality. You
don’t have time for anything else in your life right now, and you know it. No
one is going to put up with your schedule, and it’s not fair to you or him to
even pretend this could work out. No matter what you are feeling, let it go and
focus on what’s important. Despite the logical rationalizations and
demands of her inner voice, she still felt something she couldn’t deny, a
feeling she couldn’t explain, a pull well beyond mere attraction. Can I really make
room for something like this in my life? Disappointment filled her
as she gave in to her analytical nature; she took in a long breath through her
nose and blew it out with a bit of force before she squeezed his arm. The light
pressure stopped him in his tracks, and he turned to face her. “Daniel, I
think…”
“You’re probably tired; let me walk you
to your car.” The smile on his face rivaled the moon in its brightness, and as
she watched him, she found it harder and harder to say what she was thinking. I’m thinking, not
feeling. I always think through things. Why does he make it so hard to think?
A stronger gust of wind blew, and she
shielded the side of her face with her hand to keep stray strands of hair out
of her eyes. The warmth of his hand over hers as he smoothed her hair back
behind her ear was unexpected. When he pulled his hand back, his fingers
brushed over her cheek, and she felt her muscles stiffen. She felt a sensation
similar to millions of tiny bubbles bursting inside her, and even all over her
skin. It was like nothing she’d felt before, but before she could attempt to
process it, the feeling morphed into a firing of nerves that stimulated her
entire being, and she felt her body heat up. This isn’t how things go in my life. This isn’t
normal.
Instinct moved her closer to him, and as
she stared into his green eyes, she watched his pupils dilate wider than what
was normal for the lighting conditions. She didn’t speak as she took his hand,
but she was aware the warmth inside her continued to grow, and as it increased,
she began to feel a pulsing sensation deep within. It was then she placed a
mental muzzle on her voice of doubt and shoved it down an imaginary flight of
stairs. To hell
with what you think is normal. I’m done thinking.
