~ Fantasy Lover Part 3 ~
Selena watched Grace's sudden interest with a smirk before handing her the book. "I have an idea." Now that was something that chilled her to her bones, even in this blazing heat. And Grace didn't frighten easily. "Not another séance?" "No this is better." Inwardly, Grace cringed and wondered what she'd be doing right now if she had a normal room mate her first year of college instead of her crazy, gyspy wannabe friend Selena sitting next to her. One thing was sure, she wouldn't be discussing her sex life in the middle of a crowded street. In that instant she became acutely aware of their differences. She stood in the humid heat wearing a thin, sleeveless Ralph Lauren creme silk dress, her dark hair pulled back into a sophisticated chignon bun while Selena wore a long flowing black broomstick skirt with a tight purple tank top that barely covered her over bearing chest. Selena's shoulder length frizzy brown hair was pulled up with a silver cheetah silk scarf and she had huge silver moon earrings hanging to her shoulders. Not to mention the silver mine she had strapped to both of her wrists, carrying about a hundred and fifty silver bangles. Bangles that jingled everytime she moved. People always commented on their physical differences, but Grace knew Selena hid her astute mind and insecurity behind her "exotic" attire. Inside, the two of of them were far more alike than anyone could ever guess. Except for Selena's bizarre belief in the occult, and her insatiable appetite for sex. Moving to stand behind her, Selena forced the book into Grace's reluctant hands and thumbed through it. Grace did her best not to drop it. Or roll her eyes.
"I found this the other day in the old bookstore by the wax museum. It was covered by a mountain of dust, and I was trying to find this book on psychometry when I came across it and viola!" Selena smiled triumphantly at the page. Grace looked down at the picture then gaped. Never had she seen such a thing. The man in the picture was riveting, and the picture absolutely shocking in it's detail. If not for the impression marks on the page where it had been drawn, she would have sworn it was an actual photograph of some ancient Greek statue. No she corrected herself- a Greek god. Surely no mortal man could ever look that good.
