With a trilogy almost finished,
a new book in the works
and
a possible collaboration in the making
I am a very busy lady these days.
Book three looks like it will be out
by the beginning of April for purchase,
and my next book this summer.
Never a dull moment it seems.
Today I wanted to share with you
a little tease into book three,
to keep my readers guessing :)
Hope you enjoy it.
“Hey
Jelly, don’t look so sad.” I looked up and saw Zach smiling at me.
“What
did I do Zach?” Sitting next to me, he took my hand and pulled me close.
“You
did exactly what scared and lonely people do, you looked for a connection honey
that’s all, you didn’t find it but that doesn’t mean you should give up.” Then
he sat me up and wiped my tears, looking me in the eye.
“That
does not mean that you should go around sleeping with everyone, but it’s ok
that you had sex with Gabriel. You may
not feel like it is right now, but like I have always told you it was going to
happen at some point, and now it has and you can move past it.” I shook my heavy head and cried harder.
“No,
Zach after I lied to him and told him I remembered him only instead of being
happy he got scared and I don’t know why and I am so mad at myself.” I clenched
my fists and yelled as I cried.
“Jelly,
listen to me honey. No matter what you discover as you regain your memories
know that Gabriel has always had good intentions by you.” I took a deep breath
and wiped my nose on my sleeve. I laughed at myself a little that I had not
wanted to get snot on him.
“Jelly,
I have to ask you something because I have always wanted to ask a girl this
question, but how was it?” I laughed even harder; in all the confusing emotions
I had forgotten that part.
“It
was horrible.” He laughed at me and I hit him. “It’s not funny Zach I am
serious. It was awkward and it hurt really badly. I thought I might be able to
get through the hurting part and then it was over, just like that.” He laughed
even harder.
“Do
you believe me now about my sex talk?” Zach used to tell me that sex was like
going to war with Vikings, that the man was the Viking army with a battering
ram, the woman was the castle gate, and the Vikings would just keep ramming
until the gate came down. I always thought he was telling me a scary story, but
in truth he was right and it was horrible.
“It
was not fun at all, why do people do it if it’s not even fun Zach?” He put his
arm around me again and squeezed me tight.
“People
do it because someday it won’t be like the Viking story, someday it will be
with the right person and it’s beautiful and fills your heart with passion and
love.” He picked my face up to look at him. “People do it in search of that one
person jelly, the one that completes it all.” I squeezed him as tears ran down
my face. I saw lights pulling into the drive and jumped, why would Gabriel come
back here tonight? I looked back and Zach was gone, leaving me standing on the
porch with tears streaming my face and a trucks headlight in my eyes. I turned
for the house to wash my face when I heard a comforting voice behind me.
