"You'll know him when he comes into your life, Siri, and it will happen when you aren't expecting it."
Well, I surely wasn't expecting Aurelius Moore.
I hang the towel up to dry and flop on my bed.I close my eyes and see Aurei's face.His beautiful face with his straight nose.His firm jaw that's not square or hard.His dark whiskers that don't scratch.His halo hair and the way it sways when he tips his head—the way his eyes crinkle and twinkle.The dark eyebrows that frame his mesmerizing emerald green eyes with the piercing gaze and the steady focus I get lost and found in.His lips, his teeth, his tongue, the way he says my name, that smile that melts my heart; the way he kisses that makes me weak in the knees, and that's only from the neck up!I search for a flaw but can't find a single one.
The man is perfect!He is a fucking Golden God!
I roll over, grab my laptop off the nightstand, sit cross-legged, and open it.I want to see his Facebook profile on the big screen.
There he is.I stare at his cover picture.He is relaxed and laughing.I click on photos.They are pictures he was tagged in, not ones he uploaded.A flight student tagged him as his instructor pilot at the local base.Impressive.
Here's his sister, Ann.She's younger, beautiful like him.She doesn't have a lot of personal info either.Frustrated, I close my computer and lay back on the bed.
I still can't believe he left me at the door.Maybe I should have been more forward.Maybe I should have left no doubt what I wanted.I have no idea how 'normal' girls get laid, but I obviously didn't communicate my wants to him.
He did give me his digits.I crawl to my purse and grab my phone.If I text him now, he will see it when he wakes up.
Yes … good idea.Contacts.A.U.There he is.
I tap 'message' and stare at it.
What do I say?'Hey, I can't sleep because your face keeps swimming around my mind?What are you doing today?Want to hook up?'
No!
'Hey, I can't sleep.I was wondering when I might see you again.'
Yeah.That sounds ok.
No, wait, that's not good.He is expecting to be together Sunday anyway.
Shit!I don't know!
I end up just typing,
Hi.
I laugh at the simplicity.
That works.He'll answer when he gets it, and we'll go from there.
I hit send.
Too hyped up to rest, I decide to fix myself a cup of Tension Tamer tea.While I'm in the kitchen waiting for the water to boil, I hear the message tone beep.
I freeze.
Could it be Aurei?
Of course, it's Aurei!Who else would it be this time of night?
I tear off at a run into my bedroom, dive on my bed, and grab my iPhone.There, on the screen, is a new message.I giggle, feeling giddy.
Hi.Why are you still up?
I roll onto my back and hold my phone in the air as I type.
I can't sleep.
