Love lines by Diana Nixon Page A

like it’s been an eternity. I
know almost everything about you. What you think, but don’t say. What you feel,
but don’t speak about, even what your favorite color is!” she smiled sadly.
“But I don’t know what will happen to us tomorrow, Christian. If tomorrow you
still want to be with me... I am here,” she said, looking straight into my
eyes.
    It was everything I wanted to hear.
    Not thinking about being in the middle of the shopping
center, I embraced her, lifted hera little and kissed her lips. She
responded immediately and this time our kiss was more sensual and more sweet. 
And devastatingly hot. I almost forgot about the reality and people watching us
disapprovingly. I could have stood there like that for ages, holding her in my
arms, breathing in the floral scent of her hair and enjoying the tenderness of
her lips. Nothing else mattered at that moment, just her.
     Reluctantly breaking the kiss, I put her on the floor
and said:
    “You know what? If tomorrow you still want to be with
me, I'll be the happiest man in the world.”
    Somewhere nearby, we heard the voices of Amanda and Evan
and I immediately regretted being with them at the moment.
    “Let's not explain anything to anybody,” I said. “Amanda
has already figured out everything and Evan... He'll understand.”
    Eileen replied only with a wordless nod.
    “But still I would have to explain everything to
Vanessa,” I thought. Though there was nothing serious between us, I wanted to
do it right.
    “There you are!” Amanda exclaimed, running up to us.
    “She was about to call the police,” joked Evan. “It was
hard to persuade her to find you ourselves. And she is so stubborn, Christian,”
smiling at Amanda, he added.
    My best friend was obviously flirting with my sister. I
still didn’t like it. Knowing how easily Evan broke up with all his
girlfriends, I didn’t want to see Amanda in that endless list. And, knowing how
she could treat it herself, I didn’t want to see her tears. Eileen squeezed my
hand a little. Looking at her, I realized that she was trying to tell me “ Leave
them alone ”. It was much easier said than done. And she knew it, smiling
sympathetically.
    “If all of us are ready, I think we can go back,” to
everyone's surprise, said Amanda.
    “See, he affects her positively,” Eileen said to me
quietly. She knew even better than I did how difficult it was to take Amanda
away from the store.
    Despite the fact that shopping didn’t take us long we
were going back in the twilight. I was thinking about the events of the past
day, about Eileen and me being together and nearly skipped the right turn.
    “Slow down, Christian,” she said touching my arm.
    “Sorry,” I said slowing down before turning.
     Evan, who hadn’t noticed anything except for my sister,
looked at our hands with surprise.
    “I can’t believe it! You are bound!” he noted.
    Still watching the road, I glanced at him in the mirror.
Eileen turned around and asked:
    “What did you say, Evan?”
    “I said that you and Christian are bound, and even more
- you are bound by the lines of your destiny,” explained my friend.
    “What?” asked Eileen, Amanda and I simultaneously.
    “Well, as you're all asking the same question, I don’t
have to answer each one individually,” smiling, replied Evan. “So, if you
believe the theory of binding, the lines on your palms, which are responsible
for the fate, are the same. I haven’t seen this before, only heard about it.
It’s quite a rare thing.”
    Eileen and I looked at each other.
    “That’s not all,” added Evan. “The theory is that the
other lines on your palms are the same as well, just like a mirror reflection.”
    It looked like Eileen had been right about the days
being full of surprises.
    “What does it mean?” I asked him still watching the
road. Some strange fear appeared in my heart.
    “I don’t know. I think you should ask someone from
Feta.”
    “Wait a minute,” Amanda
