A Sign from the Star - Lisa Kuhbander (pride and prejudice read .txt) 📗

head to toe, pumping through his bloodstream, making him dizzy.  He grew weaker and weaker. Suddenly feeling very weak, he had to lean against the side of her car.

 

 And then bam!  Suddenly she opened the car door and turned to go.

 

Startled, he jumped out of the way.

 

“Good night,” she said as she shut the door and turned the key.  Sadly, he watched her drive away. 

As he walked back toward his apartment, he took a moment to enjoy the cool, clear spring night.  He took a seat on the front steps. The night was quiet. The moon was full. The stars were bright.  He sighed, looked up, and spotted the brightest star. 

 

“Star bright, star light, please help her see me as the man I really am, not this clumsy, awkward nerd.  Please help her see me as more than a friend,“ he said out loud to himself.

 

 At that moment, he spotted a white car turning into the parking lot. 

He thought to himself, Could it be? Yes, it’s Angelica! Did she forget something?

 

Angelica drove slowly around the corner, window rolled down, her hair flowing freely in the wind.   She pressed her hand against her luscious red lips, blew him a kiss, and drove away.

 

 As he watched her drive off, he touched the spot on his cheek where the kiss might have landed.  That kiss in the wind.  It’s a sign from the star!  He smiled to himself.  There was hope.
