Blessed.
That was
me.
In every
way that mattered anyway. I had a close, loving relationship with my parents,
my older brother was my hero, and with graduation right around the corner, I
was on the verge of turning my love of photography into a career.
Then there
was Carter, surprisingly he turned out to be the yin to my yang. Where I was
alternative, slightly nerdy and a whole lot awkward, Carter was smooth, popular
and confidant. Yet somehow, we fit. Or so I thought.
With the
events of one night, the clarity with which I once saw my life vanished.
Leaving me completely unprepared for the reality I would now have to face and
the choices that accompanied it.
Don't miss the first title in the Moments series,
MOMENTS OF BEAUTY
EXCERPT
I wrap my hands around her waist, my thumbs meeting bare skin, “What are you wearing?” I didn’t even notice when we were outside, I was too busy looking at her gorgeous smile.
I feel her shrug in my arms, “Nothing special.” Then she leads me out of the photo lab, locking it up behind her and taking my hand as we walk back to my car.
The lot is almost empty when we reach it, and I look down at her under the bright lights that illuminate the area, nearly swallowing my tongue when I take in her form. She’s wearing a green and black checked mini skirt with black leggings or stocking things covering her long legs and her combat boots. The long sleeve top she has on doesn’t quite meet the skirt at her waist, leaving a tantalizing slither of creamy skin on display.
She laughs when I stop abruptly, staring at her, “What?” she quips.
“You are so damn beautiful, you know that, right? I’ve told you that before, haven’t I? You’re my sexy little nerd,” I tell her, taking in the writing on her black top, Trust Me I’m A Jedi.
Chance does a little curtsy, “Why thank you,” she says with a coy grin tugging at her lips.
Holding her hand isn’t enough, I drop it and take her face in my palms pressing my desperate lips to hers, and close my eyes. She responds immediately, wrapping her arms around my hips, clawing at the small of my back through my shirt.
“Let’s get out of here,” I say breathless, taking her hand again and jogging towards my car, tugging her along behind me.
