Let Love Heal
“Hello.” I call out
timidly. I hear a thud, as what I assume is a head bumps into the underside of
the desk. A male voice calls out “Crap” and I can’t help but giggle that I’ve
surprised whoever is under there. He then says, “I’ll be right with you.”
“Okay, take your time.
Sorry for interrupting. I’ll be waiting out in the lab.” I make my way back out
to the main room and wait patiently for “under the desk mystery man” to meet
me. And when he does, oh my dear sweet Lord of all things hot. I was fully
expecting suspenders, a pocket protector, glasses, and plaid pants pulled up to
his chest. I was expecting someone more along the lines of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, but what I got was
Bradley Cooper from The Hangover.
That’s two very different
Coopers.
My mouth goes dry and I’m
suddenly struck dumb. As he walks to me, he wipes his hands on his faded and
oh-so-soft looking jeans and then inspects them to make sure they’re clean.
Standing before me, he extends his hand, and by some miraculous force, I’m able
to put together, “Hi. I’m here to apply for the job.” My voice is squeaky as I
wave the hot pink sign in between us. Shaking his hand causes sparks of
electricity to course through my arm. “Wow. I just put that sign up this
morning. I didn’t expect anyone to apply for a few days.” His voice is like
velvet and it does funny things to my insides. When he releases my hand, it’s
still hot from his touch.
“Let me go get some
paperwork for you to fill out …” His sentence hangs in the air between us and I
realize that I haven’t told him my name.
“Melanie. I’m Melanie
Crane. It’s nice to meet you …”
“Bryan Mahoney.” And when
he smiles at me as his name rolls off his tongue, I feel like a giddy school
girl.
“Okay then, Melanie. Let me
go get that paperwork and we’ll get the ball rolling.” He turns to walk away
from me and my eyes are glued to his body. What the hell? A hot computer geek.
You have got to be kidding me. This boy is seriously fine. Tall, lean and just
plain beautiful. I should leave right now. I thought this would be a nice quiet
job where I could go completely unnoticed, but there’s no way in hell I can
work with him. He’s freaking hot and I’m, well, I’m not. I’ll be a bumbling
fool the entire time I’m around him.
Just as I’m about to walk
out the door, Bryan calls out to me. “Hey, Melanie! Where are you going?” Call
me crazy, but there is a hint of desperation in his voice. With my hand
hovering above the door knob, I inhale deeply and figure what the hell. I might
as well go for it. The truth is he probably won’t even know I exist. Guys like
him never notice girls like me anyway. I turn toward him and smile as I say,
“No, I just have class in a few minutes. I wasn’t expecting to actually do an
interview or anything. I don’t want to be late; that’s all.”
I flat out lie and just
hope he doesn’t catch on.
His returning smile is
blinding. Perfectly straight, white teeth flash before me, but what hits me in
the gut is how his eyes smile along with his mouth. They crinkle in the corners
and he shakes his head just a little. It looks like he’s laughing at me, but
not in an “I’m making fun of you way.” Maybe he’s caught on, after all.
“Okay, so can you come back
after class, Melanie?” The way my name sounds coming from his full lips makes
my pulse skitter. For the first time ever, I feel noticed. This hot piece of
man-cake is actually talking to me and looking at me and saying my name. And,
call me crazy, but he’s not just being nice because I’m applying for this job.
There’s something playful and flirty going on in his eyes, in his voice, in his
body language.

Melissa Collins has always
been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was
always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most
logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for
reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a
decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.
Her passion for writing
didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early
2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion,
angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long
before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over
Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.
