Asking the Right Question — G.L. Snodgrass

*** A short Story ***

*** A Sweet Romance ***

Some things are hard, others are terrifying.

… My stomach dropped to my knees. This had gone way to far way to fast. No way was I asking Dereck Jackson to the school dance. The man was at the top of the food chain. Devastatingly handsome, built like a rock wall, super cool, with killer blue eyes â€" I am a huge sucker for killer blue eyes â€" and thick sandy brown hair that made a person want to run their fingers through it. No way was I asking him out. The rejection would be so quick the earth would stop spinning.

Besides, if he said no, - correction - when he said no, all of my secret hopes and dreams would be squashed like a bug on a windshield. Nope, not going to happen. …

Some things in life only happen if we ask the right question.
