Excerpt
Joey and I take turns catching waves, taking time in between them to talk and goof around. My stomach actually hurts from laughing so much.
“Your turn,” I smile, nodding in the direction of the next wave growing in front of us.
“Ride it with me,” he says with a grin.
“What?” I ask, being caught off guard.
“Let your board float in and ride mine with me,” he repeats with a soft grin.
Giving him a skeptical look he continues, “Trust me- it’ll be fun.” He reaches for my hand.
Noticing the wave getting close, I realize I need to make a quick decision. Stepping out of my box of predictability, I undo the strap around my ankle and let my board free.
“Sit on the front. I’ll paddle, then jump up when I do,” he explains as I climb up on his board.
My stomach is in knots and my heart rate is through the roof, feeling his face so close to my back as he lies on the board behind me, paddling away from the wave.
Why did I agree to this?
My inhibitions are nowhere to be found when I’m around him. He brings out a side of me that I didn’t even know existed…careless and free.
Feeling the wave start to push up on the back of the board, I know it’s time. Glancing over my shoulder, I find him smiling at me.
“Ready?” Joey asks. Nodding my head yes, he continues, “Up on three…one…two…”
On three we both jump up, planting our feet on the board with my back against his chest. We both run our right hand along the inside of the wave for what feels like forever. It’s like everything has gone into slow motion, and we are in this exhilarating bubble together.
About the Author:
Some may consider me a jack of all trades, but I consider myself well rounded.
I’ve waitressed, styled hair, answered phones and, most recently, worked full time as mom to my two beautiful little boys.
Then there was this book…
Everyone and their brother started talking about this book series titled Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James. I didn’t really pay attention to the craze at first, since I wasn’t a big reader- okay, I didn’t read at all. But curiosity got the best of me, so I downloaded it to my kindle.
I was immediately hooked. I read the whole series in three days. Yes, three books in three days. I kept finding all these great books that I HAD to read (just ask my credit card!)Then I started hearing voices. Voices that turned into stories; stories that were begging to get out of my head.
I started writing them down on scraps of paper. Then I transferred them to my computer. Before I knew it, PLANNING ON FOREVER was born.
The voices in my head are still talking, so I’m still writing.
