(Continued from yesterday. Click here to go back to the beginning.)
Jace tensed and his heart beat faster.
Jennifer swallowed. “This is really good.”
“Thanks.”
The page after that was a collage of Jennifer. She was cute, sophisticated, sexy, humble, studious, and numerous other qualities for which there are no words.
Jace panicked. “Sorry.” He fumbled with words. “I didn’t, uh, mean to, um, stalk you– or anything.”
Jennifer didn’t look angry or scared as she looked him in the eye. She took a breath. “Will you kiss me?”
Jace froze, like a deer mesmerized by a pair of headlights.
As if in a dream he touched his lips to hers, soft and full. She smelled good. He put his arm around her, and his hand passed over the strap of her bra. Her body was warm and there. She put her hand on his leg.
A moment later, he counted her eyelashes. He touched his thumb to her eyebrow and traced it around, and Jennifer snuggled her cheek into Jace’s palm. Her skin was soft. It was smooth. And she looked happy.
“I like you, Jace,” she managed. Then, with a lost smile, “I wish I wasn’t moving.”
“You’re moving?”
“Yes, to Seattle.”
“That’s pretty far,” he said.
“Yes, it is.”
“It sure is.”
“Can you sit with me for a little while?”
The next day, Jace had to walk on the grass as he passed by the house, because the green and white moving van was taking up the whole sidewalk. He hoped to catch a glimpse of Jennifer, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Now when Jace walks by the house, he sometimes sees two young children playing in the yard. Jace has Jennifer’s new address, and they’ve exchanged one or two letters. But he doesn’t know whether he’ll ever see her again. He figures, even if you’re an artist, sometimes you draw dead. Still he imagines he sees Jennifer sitting under the pines, reading or humming softly a tune Jace doesn’t know.
(The end.)
It is really a great and useful piece of information. I am glad that you just shared this helpful information with us.
Please keep us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Thank you
I do trust all of the ideas you’ve introduced in your post.
They’re very convincing and can certainly work.
Still, the posts are too quick for novices.
May you please lengthen them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.
May I simply say what a comfort to find a person that genuinely knows
what they are talking about on the net. You definitely know how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
More and more people ought to look at this and understand this
side of your story. I can’t believe you’re not more popular because you
most certainly have the gift.
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s
both equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have
hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too
few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy I stumbled across this in my search for something regarding this.
Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have
any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
You made some really good points there. I checked on the net for additional information about the issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this site.
I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you
did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
Appreciate the recommendation. Let me try it out.
