Impetuous

Bianca might look like sex on legs, but she had her head firmly screwed on. Keane Monahan invited her to their school dance. A one- night stand. She remembered his excuses, almost verbatim. She remembered his uncomfortable stance as he stood and told her, to her face that they had no future! Ten years later, she bumped into him, life was going to get complicated. Things were moving too fast. They always did when they came into contact with each other. This occasion was no different. It was as if they were two halves of a whole. Bianca felt heady with power. Then she felt nervous. When, oh when was she going to learn to take things slowly? When was she going to do her best not to get involved with Keane? To take things with him no further. She couldn't keep risking her heart in this way. A pity the messages from her head did not reach her mouth. There was something happening here, at an elemental level and while Bianca might be doing her best to avoid facing it, Keane had no such intention. How was it that this woman could derail all of his thought processes without even having to try? All characters depicted in this work of fiction are 18 years of age or older.
