Chapter Thirteen

Naomi

What in the actual bloody hell was going on? I’d been asking myself the same question for the entire day and I still had no answer, no logical one anyway. Joe- my Joe was real! No matter how many times I told myself it was a physical impossibility, there was no denying a sexy silver-haired Italian man, named Joseph Ferrantino, lay fast asleep in my bed. I had lain next to him for quite some time and listened to him fall asleep but there was no way in a million years I could sleep.

For the last few hours I had convinced myself I’d finally flipped and was having full blown hallucinations. Then I remembered some quote about ‘if you thought you were crazy, you definitely weren’t’ or something like that. I’d thought maybe it was some kind of chemical imbalance in my brain that was causing it. But then dismissed that theory on the basis that I’d had sex with him today, twice! As much as I had given in to those fantasies previously, they’d never left my lips raw from kissing or made my lady parts throb from the blissfully heavy pounding it had gotten. Ohhhh no, that was most definitely real, so it stood to reason that Joe was too. I just couldn’t for the life of me work out how? Google had been utterly useless, every hit that came back implied I was undeniably bonkers and should probably be wearing a straitjacket as part of my daily attire. As illogical as it sounded, the only possible thing left to do was read my manuscript.

I held the folder, containing the ninety-eight pages of A4 that I had written and printed off so far, on my lap. The story was nowhere near finished and I had read over it many times but now, I sat on my sofa daring myself to open it. I argued with myself that I didn’t need to read it because I already knew what it said, I’d written it after all. But I knew I had to see it for myself, I had to confirm it. Tentatively I opened the file and began reading the first page. My heart did a little skip when I got to the part about how Joe and I had met, the part I had stolen from Laney Marsh’s original manuscript. It was all there in black and white, the scene in Joe’s book bar, The Magnificent Medici and how he came over to talk to me at my table. Every little detail was there right down to the title of the book I had been reading. It was exactly the same as he’d described it to me this morning. Moreover, Joe looked exactly how Laney had described him and just how I had always imagined him. I skipped forward a few pages to the part where we had fallen in love and Joe had moved to England to open our own book bar- The Imp. We’d decided to name it that because of the infamous Lincoln Imp associated with the city.
