Finding Love Online

 Everything started out well like a totally normal Wednesday though she felt energized in a way she hadn’t in a long time. Her commute was smooth and slow, but she had a mind for nothing but figuring out who exactly M.A. was. The message she had woke up to put a smile on her face even if she really didn't want it too. Something about it was interesting to her though it was nothing more than a follow up to her response. She was enjoying the newness of everything. Sarah had never thought about what kind of relationship she was really looking for until she had to ponder what and who he really was. The lack of a picture didn’t bother her because she felt it was a good way not to dismiss him on appearance alone. He seemed interested in her as well because the picture though it was good, was blurry because it was taken at a distance with a phone’s camera. That didn’t seem to matter to him.Princess,Y

  Her usual routine tossing and turning didn't happen as she dozed off somewhat comfortable and woke up late. She thought about going into work and knew that she wasn’t all there today. Taking one of her nine thousand days off that she had built up seemed to be the best idea she could come up with. She sent her boss a text,Taking a personal day.Have to do with your new friend? Was his response, which brought a laugh out of her. Of course,, he would want to dig into her life to find out the reason she wanted to take a day off when she was known not to ever take one unless she was very sick or in the hospital for something.No. She replied and turned off the sound to the phone. For her, it was that simple, but she needed extra rest. That wasn't like her. Things didn’t bother her like this. She had to assume it was something from whatever had happened the n

 Sarah kissed him, and that changed everything for her in her mind. She had never taken control like that before, and for some reason, she was completely comfortable with this man she had known as a student and then was reintroduced when he was nameless and faceless. Lying in bed with this man next to her as they explored each other slightly was something she hadn’t realized she needed.He propped himself up on his arm and just looked down at her as he smiled slightly. His hand cupping her face gently as his thumb ran over her cheek. “This right here is worth the wait.” He said softly. “Though I want to do more than just this, we should wait a bit.”She looked up to him and got lost in those magical golden eyes that he had. She nodded slightly, and for the first time in her life, she knew that she wasn’t in charge of everything around her. She also wanted to see where this could go with him, and the fact he didn’t

  As her doorway darkened again, she looked up into the face of her friend. Sarah could see something was wrong. Aaron always had a tell when he was trying to put on his mask of indifference, but it never worked when he had to deal with her. She read his face. He wasn't smiling at her like he normally did before he began teasing her like an older brother would. The relationship between them had grown to the point they were family. When people would ask things like why their relationship went this way, it was simple. They went through hell together while overseas. They dealt with the problems there and then came back and had many more to work through. They were the only ones besides the rest of the small team that had handled the outbreak who could ever understand what had happened and what they had seen.  "We need to talk,” Aaron said. Sara knew that even his voice was strained. Whatever he had to say was not going to be good. He didn’t wan

She had been recruited for this job when she had sent in a paper to a doctor who had founded the organization she currently worked for. The paper that she had sent in was a correction to a research paper that had been published a year before when she had been fifteen. At sixteen, she hadn’t been looking for her dream to be handed to her, but after that paper had been looked at and they saw she was correct even with the lack of education in the field, they knew she was the one who would change the field. The two had prepared her in those two years for the things she would have to deal with, including the idea that she would be in a hot zone. They had no idea at the time how right they were.While over sea’s trying to take samples of nearly everything so they could find the origin of the virus in question, an outbreak broke out. The area was already dangerous with staying off the local guerilla's radar so they could work without a firefight. The tribes were mostly f
