Excerpt
“Ma’am, are you okay?” a deep voice says to me.
“I’m not a ma’am,” I say, not bothering to open my eyes or
move. He’s confirmed that I’m not dead, so I expect him to leave me alone. I
have learned after living in LA for the past three months that the people here
aren’t any more considerate than the people in NYC are. I exhale when I hear
the lobby door swing shut again.
“I’m such a disaster,” I mumble to myself.
The same deep voice laughs. “A beautiful disaster.” I open
my eyes and see golden brown eyes peering curiously at me. I slowly sit up and
gulp at the sight in front of me. He grins and my cheeks burn a bright shade of
red. His dark brown hair is tousled; it doesn’t look like he’s ever combed it.
Dark stubble covers his strong chin and neck. He’s not wearing a shirt - just
shorts and running shoes, which allow me to see every perfect muscle glistening
from the sweat covering his body. Tattoos cover his torso and arms. Beautiful.
I realize I’m staring, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from him if I wanted.
He’s too beautiful. I feel my heart racing again, my breath quickening and the
sweat forming have nothing to do with my earlier panic attack.
He gently places one finger under my chin, raising it to
close my gaping mouth. I flush a shade redder, but I don’t stop staring. He has
a gleam in his eyes as he looks intently from my mouth to my eyes and then my
forehead.
“Shit, you’re bleeding,” he says, breaking the spell that
has come over me.
“I’m sure I’m fine. I just need to get back to my condo,” I
say as I begin to stand. He offers his hand to me, and I take it as he easily
pulls me into a standing position. He holds onto my sweaty hand for much longer
than what is necessary for me to regain my balance. I stare up at him now as he
towers over me before he quickly jogs around the lobby picking up every apple,
orange, and tube of Pringles that rolled out of my bags when I fell. My mouth
gapes open again, but no words come out. I just stand frozen.
“Breathe,” he says, smiling. My face heats up again as I
release a breath I didn’t know I had been holding. Get it together. You can’t
be into him. It’s too soon. I reach into my pocket to feel the warm green
fabric there. It reminds me of what I’ve lost and what I am not willing to lose
again. I take a pained breath as I let the guilt wash away.
