In every life there is always that...one.
In every life there is always that...one.
Twenty-one year
old Laura Sedgwick is a rebel without a cause. Her only plans for life are to
make no plans. She revels in her fascination of the unexpected as she navigates
her way through mid -1990’s Dallas
Twenty-three
year old Seth Whitaker has every intention of seeing through with his well
mapped out life. He is a hard working over-achiever that has no intentions of
slowing his pace for anyone. With a fierce determination to not let life pass
him by without taking a huge bite, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the
one distraction that could keep him from his best laid plans. Little did he
know his determination to keep his life on track would be the very thing to
trigger the events that change the course of both their lives.
In this life
she had only done one thing right...
...and she was
his only chance at salvation.
All I was feeling was showing in the bathroom mirror on my reddened face. I was having a hard time enjoying it, instead of being terrified. I cupped some water from the faucet and swallowed, willing myself to get it together. I walked into the hall of the long corridor that led back to the rooftop door and found Seth waiting for me, arms crossed over his chest, casually leaning against the wall. I stood on the opposite wall, placing my hands behind my back. I felt a drop of water drip from my bottom lip onto my chest and slide into the V of my dress. I saw his eyes follow it with envy as he spokes his first words to me.
“You are all I think about, and I come here and you look…like this,” he breathed the words to me and I felt them on every inch of my body. I moved to go to him and he made a small gesture that kept me where I was. He still wanted to play and I was game.
“What do you think about?”
“Your laugh, the way your voice is raspy in the morning when you wake up, the arch of your perfect feet, the way your hair falls over your face when you’re on top of me, the way this feels right now and every time I’m with you.”
I pulled my leg through the thigh high slit in my dress propping my heel on the wall behind me and smiled. He cursed as he came toward me in a blur. He stopped himself inches away, placing both hands on the side of my face against the wall.
“Temptress,” he whispered into my ear.
Can you imagine your 1st love?
Remember the tingles and the anxiety of being without that person.
Knowing any day you could fall.
Welcome to Room 212.
This is a maddening story of romance, love, heartache, emotion and down right brutal honesty.
Ridiculously moving, leaving me heartbroken and whole.
LOVED every single step of the way.
Past and Future.
One last thing...Don't eff with Karma.
She's a *itch!
*Mwuah*
5 Stars for me!
