The Desire to Touch Read Online Free Page A

feel the charge that he sent through me earlier when he touched my hand. My heart starts to pound and my breathing is picking up, almost becoming uncontrollable so I bite my lip a bit harder to bring myself back down to earth.
    My phone starts to ring and I reach for my bag and rummage for my phone, “Lucas?”
    “Hey English, I did some asking and it turns out that some hotshot Hollywood star stayed overnight in the apartments.”
    I’m stunned: “Well I don’t think he was a Hollywood star by any stretch of the imagination.” I let out a little giggle and continue, “Anyway, who did you get that from?”
    Silence .
    “Lucas?”
    “Well, I am pretty sure, my source is reliable,” he snaps back
    I s tart to laugh uncontrollably, “That means you got it from Jerry.”
    “Shut it , you!” he laughs
    “Jerry is about as reliable as a chocolate teapot!”
    “Whatever! You’re boring me now - so see you tomorrow, I’ll come to you for about midday?”
    “Yep, sounds good,” that cheers me up a bit, I like spending days with Lucas, we always have a laugh.
    With that , he hangs up and I put my phone back in my bag.
    Well , that brought me right back to earth with a bump.
    The next few hours seem to go quite quickly and I happily lay on my lounger trying to tan and bring out some inner beauty that may be hidden deep within.
    Occasionally Meagan and Lacey join me and we have a natter, but most of the time I seem to doze and sleep off the hangover.
    I awake with a start and realise it’s getting late, I grab my phone from my bag and see I’ve been asleep for at least an hour, oh crap I’ve been asleep on my back – god only knows if I was snoring, dribbling or talking. Again, I’m just the picture perfect female any man wants, yeah right.
    I sit up trying to catch Meagan ’s attention but she is oblivious, looking over to where Trey and his friends are, they still seem to be having a good laugh and a good drink. My devil starts to whisper ‘ If he was interested he would have been over by now’ I shake her away as quick as I can.
    I take one last look in his direction and he appears to be waving at me.
    ‘ Oh wow, ok shall I wave back? Come on, you can do this just wave back.’ I lift my arm and wave back, he waves again, I respond again and he waves once more. This is weird, I look over my shoulder and there she is Miss World and she is waving back to him signaling two minutes. She glances down at me and gives me a look of disgust that has shrunk me to about two inches tall.
    I snap my head back round , trying to steady my growing embarrassment and put my head in my hands.
    Well that’s just brilliant I am officially the biggest dick going! ‘Wrap me up and tattoo ‘twat’ on my forehead. Geez, Ellie!’
    Thankfully Meagan comes running over and distracts me from my near suicidal thoughts.
    I watch as Trey walks off and Meagan is at my side squealing, “Ellie! Oh wow, Ellie!”
    She looks like she’s seen a ghost and I sit up concerned, “W hat? What’s the matter?” I look her up and down to see if there are any obvious signs of injury.
    “Do you know,” she gasps for air, “Do you know who that was?”
    “Who?” Now I’m in shock and I scan the poolside.
    “That man you were waving to!”
    “Oh yeah, that’s Trey my knight in shining armor.” I roll my eyes.
    “Yes Ellie,” she huffs, “Trey Thomas!”
    I look at her blankly but fear I should know the name; or perhaps he’s someone she has encountered before, my heart sinks.
    “Come on , Trey Thomas!” She gestures her hands after him.
    I shake my head.
    “Jesus Ellie, he’s only the biggest A-list celebrity around!” She can’t hide the look of disdain on her face or in her voice.
    I still stare blankly back at her and now I’m scared of the repercussions.
    “Do you watch any movies?” she huffs.
    “Erm, I watch my fair share.” I lie .
    “For God’s sake Ellie, erm..” she taps her head thinking.
    She then starts to
