Mira did not know what she had in store the day she fell asleep while wanting to escape her current situation. Overcoming a death from someone so close and burying herself in school and an internship has kept her somewhat awake and alive. An admiration for the actor, James Dean was all that kept the memory of her father alive. If she couldn’t be with her father, she could at least remember what they shared an admiration for together. She always wanted to meet James Dean… she didn’t know it would come true. Be careful what you wish for. It may just come true.
This book was short and sweet. I really didn't know it was a short story and would have loved more of Mira and James. I personally love James Dean and I have since I was young.
I have my 50's obsessed sister to thank for that.
I like that the whole encounter was real and she had ended up with the proof. It was a delightful read and it had it's grit to it too. Mira was suffering and James was suffering nd they found immediate comfort. It was beautiful. I admittedly swooned over James in this short and very good read.
Lighthearted and fun it was really good.
My life couldn’t
be more complete. As we reached the apartments, I slowly got off the bike,
surprised at myself that I had done this. Ordinarily, I’d never get on a
motorcycle. James leaned over and caressed my cheek. Before I could open my
mouth to tell him what was to happen to him, he gave me a quick peck on the lips.
I couldn’t let James walk away, not now.
Something in me grasped his wrist; my
breath caught in my throat. I no longer cared about the rain. I must have
looked like a drowned rat to him. “I have to tell you something,” I blurted as
I waited for his reaction.
James smiled, then chuckled as he
caressed my face. The rain was
preventing me from seeing clearly. “Sweetheart, it’s raining and you’re soaked.
I hope this is important.” Pulling him
toward me, I faced him. I could change history. I could have him live out his
life as he was meant to. If I couldn’t save my father, I could save him.
“In the future, when you become famous,
please be careful. Remember this: there will be a day that you are off to a
race. You will not see a car until it’s too late. James, please promise me. It
could mean your life.” I must have sounded like a complete and total idiot to
him. Geez! I think I watched Back To The Future too many times. I
sounded like Marty talking to the professor about his impending death.
Chuckling, he shook his head, expelling
the rain off his head and onto me. Laughter erupted between us as I covered my
face. He then cupped my face, kissed my forehead. “Are you sure you’re not an
angel? I cannot promise anything, but baby, I can promise I’ll see you
tomorrow. I’ll pick you up here and you can ditch your responsibilities. Ride
with me.”
Sighing, now I knew how all those girls
felt when they looked at him. What an offer that would be. Ditch school to ride
with the man who was loved by so many. I was determined he’d listen to me. Gripping his hands from my face, I gazed into
his eyes. “I’m serious!”
Before I could utter another word, his
lips descended on mine. My body went toward him and melted. I couldn’t help but
respond as I brought him closer. I was
lost in his warm lips as they caressed mine. Lingering near my lips, he
breathed, “I know you are.” Then, winking as he kissed me again, smiling that
beautiful smile of his, “How else can my angel guard me if she isn’t with me?”
