from his backpack and wrote down his e-mail address.
Jordan said that he lived uptown, Harlem to be exact and would catch the train from Canal Street. I couldn’t resist his charm and offered him a ride to the train station, and he graciously accepted my offer. We sat in my car on the corner of Greenwich Street and Canal and gazed at the morning traffic and talked. I could tell that he didn’t want to leave, and to tell you the truth, I didn’t want him to leave either. Finally, Jordan leaned over and began to kiss me, and my head started to spin. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but he was different. His mouth consumed mine, and I felt my heart skipped a beat, and in that moment, I knew I was falling in love with a total stranger. I couldn’t rationally explain why I felt this way about this tall, dark, handsome man, but I did. At that moment, I said a prayer and asked God if this stranger was for real. I prayed that if he was tired of all the bullshit, the game playing, and the lies people do in relationships, he could have my heart.
It had been a long time since a man made me burst with emotions all at once from every direction. One moment I was in control, and the next I was out of control. There was a hunger to make love, another to be held and kissed with passion, another to be touched, Jordan had taken me to a higher plain. I didn’t know if anything would come of it, but I was sure as hell going to find out. From the bowels of my soul, we had a mysterious connection and somehow from within, I knew Jordan would restore my faith. I felt like I had finally new the meaning of soul mate. That’s crazy! But, whatever it was, it had an uncanny power over me, that I dare not question. All I could do was thank God for my ninth wonder of my world, Jordan Williams.
Thirty minutes later, Jordan slowly exited my car and disappeared down the subway steps. I sat for a while in deep thought. When I looked up, I realized that it was 11:30 AM Sunday morning. I had to go home! Sunday morning traffic on the Long Island Expressway can be challenging, but I sailed through it. I jumped on the Cross Island Parkway with the greatest of ease and went into warp speed as I approached the Southern State Parkway like I was on the Autobahn in Germany. Hell, I was home in no time. The rest of the day I reminisced about my evening with Jordan. He was in my thoughts while I showered, cooked, ate dinner, and prepared my clothes for the upcoming week. Damn, I hate Monday mornings, I thought to myself. They always came earlier than I wanted them to.
It was 5:00 AM, and I was on my way to work, and I was still thinking about this man! I pulled into the underground parking lot and made my way up to the ninth floor. Much to my surprise, the senator decided to take the day off which meant I was going to have a quiet and uneventful day in the office. Around 10:00 AM, while my coworkers were busy on their coffee break in the conference room, I decided to check my e-mail. As I scroll through my mailbox, I noticed an unfamiliar sender. All of a sudden I connected the dots; it was a message from Jordan! He wrote something that brought a warm feeling to my heart and will stay in my mind forever. He wrote,
Thank you for an enjoyable evening. I haven’t been able to understand the attraction between us, and I know you felt it too. For some reason, GOD BROUGHT US TOGETHER, and you have a purpose in my life. Have a good day, and I’ll call you later.
Jordan
I sat there rereading and daydreaming about his e-mail for almost an hour. I fantasized about his kisses and how he held me that night. Damn, hope he was right about us being together! Much to my surprise, Jordan called me around noon and hinted if I could get to City Center Midtown by 3:00 PM, I could catch his dress rehearsal. He said that all I would have to do to get in was to give my name at the box office clerk
