Kindle Notes & Highlights
The door slammed into someone, splashing coffee down the front of her… I swallowed hard. For just a moment I was transfixed by the droplets of coffee that cascaded down her chest, disappearing beneath her tank top. But then I heard the thud as her cup landed on the ground and it pulled me out of my trance. Just as I was about to force my eyes to her face, she started to slip. I grabbed her waist to prevent her from falling.
She was finally looking at me. I could have gotten lost in her blue eyes. And her red hair was calling for me to sink my fingers into… Breathe.
She smiled and then walked out of the coffee shop. I stared after her. My baggy sweater, a pair of black leggings, and bright red rain boots. She somehow made the combination look like the sexiest thing in the world.
But it was hard to forget that for just a moment, while she was in my arms, it had been easier to breathe.
When my eyes scanned the room, all the air left my lungs. There she was. Sitting in the back row of my classroom right next to a window. She was staring out the window, not even listening to me. The sun shining through the window made her hair even brighter. It practically shimmered, drawing all my attention to her.
"Unfortunately, you'll need another of me for my thoughts,” she said and quickly sat back down.
"I went for a walk in the rain with a stranger I met at a coffee shop."
"Last night I dreamt that it was pouring outside. And I just had this feeling that I was waiting for something to happen. Something exciting."
"I've actually been having the same dream now for several nights.” She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "It's always raining, but there's a man there holding an umbrella above the two of us so that we don't get soaked." Her gaze finally met mine. And for a moment it was just us. It felt right. But also wrong. "And he kisses me,” she said.
