I know what you’re thinking. It’s unconventional to want a
man nine years older than you. It’s inconvenient to crush on your dearest
friend’s older brother. It’s silly to pine after a man for six years. It’s
cliché to lust after a celebrity. It’s pathetic to fall in love with a man who
barely knows you exist.
I know what you’re thinking because I’ve thought it all,
too. And yet that hasn’t stopped me from wanting Blake Campbell. Charming,
gorgeous, brilliant, kind, selfless – Blake is everything I’ve ever wanted, but
he doesn’t see me that way. In fact, he hardly noticed me until one night.
Traumatic events brought us together for the first time, but
then he tossed me aside. I know it’s irrational, but I wanted him up until the
moment he left me lying there alone.
When his eyes finally open and he finds out I’ve left, will
it be too late?
Prologue
Some people trip over a crack in the sidewalk and meet the
love of their life. Some people are walking down the street, lost in a text
message when they literally stumble into their destiny. Others don’t have
romance on their radar when they fall off the deep end and into the
relationship that makes them whole. In other words, love finds them and not the
other way around.
I’ve never been one of those people.
Romantic. Dreamer. Idealist. I’ve been called them all. Those nicknames never
bothered me because I knew all the way to the marrow of my bones that the love
of my own life was not too far away.
In my mind, the scenario was complete.
Our eyes would meet across a crowded room.
No, that’s not right.
Let’s take it from the top.
He’d become aware of me first, unable to wrench his eyes
away from my glossy back waves (thank you Italian heritage and superb
genetics). They would tumble around my shoulders elegantly and I’d be wearing
an outfit that elongates my short legs (stubs, as my cousins called them.
Rude.).
In my mind, the moment I meet him is flawless.
Reality had a different idea.
Because when I found the man I knew I was destined to be
with me, he hardly noticed me. Every time after, he saw me as nothing more than
a friend to his sister. Most times we interacted he scarcely paid attention to
me, if only to provide pleasantries.
Despite all that, my gut keeps telling me that I’m meant to
be with him. I’m not giving up. No matter what.
