I was off duty and out of uniform, and not driving the squad car I'd been issued. Incognito, I guess. The afternoon sun was shining like a yellow balloon floating among the clouds. I remember a particular cloud looked like a fluffy bunny. It's clouds illusions I recall. The summer breeze made me feel fine.
There was a spring in my step, and my heart was light. I was going to the Sugar Shack, just a little coffeehouse, to meet up with my dear my darling one, Paramedic Traci "Buttercup" Sinclair.
I settled in across from her at our usual table. The sun was setting, then, and looked like a red rubber ball. "Can we meet somewhere less clandestine? I'm so glad that I found you, I want to be tellin' all the world! How long can we keep this a secret?"
"Secret lovers, that's who we are," she answered. Her slow smile always brought sunshine to a cloudy day. My girl.
"How was your day?" I asked.
"Well, I meet all sorts of interesting people who need medical attention! There was this one guy, he told me he loved me today!" she said.
"He's not the only one who'll tell you that today," I said.
"...and when I clapped the oxygen mask over his face, he was saying 'You take my breath away.'" Her voice was low and musical. I could listen to it all day.
"Get to the good part, get to the good part!" I exclaimed.
"Patience! The best is yet to come," said Traci.
"And then they lived happily ever after?" I suggested.
"Silly! This story has no end. Every day is a new one!" she said.
"How about if we get to the part where Deputy Tamer and Paramedic Sinclair are sitting under the apple tree?" I interjected.
"Oh honestly, Emu, sometimes I don't understand you at all! It's like I'm out here on the east coast, you're out there on the west."
"Good thing those are both part of the same happy country!"
She smiled again, and all was right with the world.
=========
I like Shelshel's answer better than my own! I should probably depart from the semibiographical first person. Might try that...

1) So im sitting on my couch watching the game, and in walks this smoking hot girl, my sisters best friend. I think to myself, How long can we keep this a secret? She jumps in my lap. Maybe tomorrow.
2) I was at the library today, reading through one of the encyclopedias about the origin of plastic buttons. It was rather interesting they talked about who created them, when and where they were created even pictures of crude early plastic buttons. Then i got up to go to the bathroom, after i finished i returned to read the rest of the article. Oh by the way this story has no end.
3) While driving down the road my car started making some funny noises. It sounded like banging in the engine. So i drove to my mechanics and dropped the car off. he called me back several hours later and told me that i needed all the fluids changed. So i say "oh man" but my mechanic replies 'Oh the best has yet to come, your engine is knocking'
4) While online to purchase the new iphone i was talking with the person behind me about what they were most excited about. When the man infront of me turned around and said "you take my breath away" at which time i quickly left the line and went home.
5) Sitting home with my girlfriend at 1AM my phone rings, its my wife. She asks me where i am, so i reply "Im out here on the east coast. Youre out there on the west, RIGHT!?"
6) A young lady was on the phone with her best friend, she was commenting on how her boyfriend had just told her he loved her. When asked where her boyfriend was now, she simply replied "i dont know"

"Oh Silva, honey, you take my breath away"
His eyes were glazed and his breathing heavy.
He gazed deeply into my eyes and advanced, closer and then closer yet! His hand reached out and toyed with my necklace,softly fingering the solid gold cross. Although the contact was minimal, It sent shivers of anticipation down my spine. As I met his gaze I felt his heat envelop me. It reached all the way down to my toes!
At least that was how he had described tonight's encounter via his latest e-mail!!
My virtual lover and I had been corresponding via the internet for several weeks now and things were getting about as hot and steamy as they could possibly get without our actually being there!!
Although a moment earlier as I read his words I had felt the first twinges of...........something .....(don't know exactly what, could have been gas!), I now felt foolish!
My fingers flew over the keys to deliver my latest message to my beloved.
"I'm out here on the East coast. You're out there on the West, How can this EVER work???
His simple reply had been:
"We are soulmates, our meeting is our destiny"
I had laughed to myself. He seemed so sure.Could he be right? It was CRAZY!! I had never even really seen him or heard his voice and everything we shared was simply a...... ..........double-blind fantasy!!!!
He told me he loved me today and I was shocked!!!
"How can you possibly love me? What do you even know about me" I had writtten "How do you know I am even who I say I am? What if I am really some old lady just getting her kicks via an internet "romance",.. huh, how about that, what then?"
With less than a moments wait the reply flashed brightly on my incoming messages screen.
"I KNOW you, like I know myself, and as God is my witness, the best is yet to come"
I shivered again, this time with a mixture of anticipation and fear!!!
I had not told a soul about him and he had confided that he had also not mentioned me to anyone! How long can we keep this a secret?, I thought. My mind raced with thoughts of the many possible outcomes.
"Anticipation is greater than realization" I told myself, to which my "other" self quickly countered with "But there's nothing like the real thing"
Who knows how it will all turn out?
For now, this story has no end.
Is the best truly yet to come????

1. I was in love with a professor. We use to sit in class, him at his desk in front of the class and me at my lowly desk with the rest of my peers. Sometimes our eyes would meet and my earth would shake. He seemed to know I had a crush on him.
One evening after class I brushed past him in a rush to beat the rest of the class to the parking lot. Well, he touched my shoulder and asked me to stay after class, he needed to speak to me about something. In my mind, I thought oh great, did I flunk my last test, did I not do my homework right, is my grade close to failing because after all it was close to term.
By this time, the room was empty and he gazed into my eyes.
He was so close, I could feel him already on my lips. As,
I started to accept the invitation, something dropped and another female student he had asked to come at a later time
was standing at the door. I was scarred so I ran out the room.
How could I ever face him again or even go to class.
How long can we keep this a secret?
2. I switched lives with a homeless girl. I had just won the lottery and went into the local corner market to check my numbers. Well, after I found out I had won, and ran outside in excitement yelling and screaming in the street when a huge gust of wind blew my winning life saving ticket down the street. I called the police and well they said they would search. So I went home bummed out , then got prepared
to have my dinner and watch the news like I do every night.
And low and behold what do I see on the news, a homeless
girl with the same name claiming my ticket. How do I prove my identity? This story has no end.
3. At the office we had all been planning a trip to the Bahamas for a birthday trip. Me and three other of my girlfriends no boyfriends, so I though! .We had all of our calendars marked for the "BIG" day. Going into work those last few days,seemed to drag on. Four more days, X on the calender, Two more days on the calender, One more day, and THE DAY..finally. We went all out this time. Limousines,
first class, champagne, and classy style is what this
trip was all about. Off we go boarding the plane, with
no extra security measures, thank GOD for that!
After the long flight in first class, we touch down. And we're all happy, checked into the hotel and preparing for the festivities tonight. All dressed to impress, we walk into a local pub and to and everyone yells "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" Friends and family had planned a surprise Birthday Party in my honor!
The best is yet to come.
4. After, a few drinks, my boyfriends walks up to the Emcee
and asks for the mic. I'm wondering? What the heck is going on? I'm feeling good, feeling the music enjoying myself.
Spots lights on me, suddenly, and I look around suspicious.
"What is he going to do?" "Will You Mary Me? At that minute, he gets down on one knee and proposes to me and roses fail all around us. "YES!" You take my breath away!
5. 2-5-3-7-3-0-5-0-1-0. Thank You, You have reached
West Coast Marketing Group, We'll Brand You If You Let Us.
I'm out here on the East coast. You're out there on the West.
We're very interested in your company and how we can help each other out. We would like to plan a trip to utilize your
services at it's best, can we arrange this? Our client is anxious to get the ball rolling, how about this weekend?
Great, I will have my assistant call yours. Have a great evening.
6. Water's running and the sun is shining, I can feel it on
my skin. For a change, I enjoy being outside beside the pool
enjoying the finer things life has to offer. You know he's always away on Wespac and I don't get to talk to him or
hear those three words he tells me often. I got a treat ...
he finally called and " He told me he loved me today"

Julie is schizophrenic. She has multiple personalities which can be quite challenging for her. She looks in the mirror and hears Joan (her 2nd personality) ask her, "Have you looked in the mirror, lately?". She responds with, "Yes, and fortunately for me my imagination far exceeds reality." Next, John (personality #3) lets out a belch and Joan responds with "I see. And have you been drinking today, sir?" John replies with "Yeah. And now you look hotter than ever." Julie jumps back in and her reply to John is "I knew that one day I would finally meet you. Ummmmmm......I love you." She doesn't hear back from John, so she pacifies herself by going to the fridge for a snack. As she stuffs her face with tuna salad, John finally replies, Fishbait!! What did you call me? cries Joan. You heard me! This tastes like fishbait! retorts John. Hee haw and whoopie do. That's nothing compared to what your were eating yesterday, chimes Joan. "And what would that be?" asks John. Fishbait!! You nut case, fishbait!!

"I hope I see you soon again George" says Susan as she walks onto her plain to New Jersey. He says "I don't feel comfortable with these circumstances, what if you don't survive those chemicals can be very unstable I mean seriously! What if you don't get out in time?!?!".
"There is nothing to worry really I just put it into a large boiler as I take the tour. I hide it in my trench coat and then as I seem to be looking over the edge as an unsuspecting tourist is asking a question I drop it in, it's that simple!"
"Well still dropping a bomb in a chemical factory is a dangerous job, do you think we can even keep it a secret?"
Susan sighs,"Yes, as long as you don't crack under pressure we are under some suspicion from the police and I mean after that one scramble in Sacrament we need to be extra careful"
Those are her last words as she boards the airplane, she passes a glance as the shape of George's body fades into the distance and the mob of people like army ants running from rain try to pile in on seats. She gets on the plane in a first class seat and is dismayed as she finds that she ahas chosen a seat between two odd looking men in poka-dotted suits. "Did the circus forget you?" She says with a smirk, but the two men just st there staring.
3 hours later as she is almost done reading 1984 by George Orwell the two men break into song. They sing a merry tune and Susan sighs in disgust. Their song goes: "One bright day in the middle of the night, two dead boys came out to fight, back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot eachother, a deaf policeman heard the noise, and came and killed the two dead boys" As if it were some sort of code to men wearing suits in the invert colors as the ones by Susan repeat it back and forth like that. She says to herself "This story has no end!"
She lands in New Jersey and gets to her hotel room a 5 star hotel with wonderful service. As she steps into her room she is in awe. This is everything she has ever dreamed of in a room with all her childhood memories in some sort of essence. She tells the maid it is amazing the maid just replies "A young man called earlier today and said that this accomodation would be to your liking, but wait the best is yet to come." She pushes apart the curtains to reveal a view of a lake with rainbow lights and swans. Susan's eyes begin to tear, getting ahold of herself she says very quickly to the maid "That will be all thank-you. Have a good night and here is your tip" The maid leaves with a new hop in her step.
Susan walks out towards that lake when a handsom man walks up to her and says "may I join you?" Unable to reject his offer she just nods. They walk around it a few times carrying on beautiful conversations. She has to head back to her room since it is getting late.
When she gets to her room she calls George.
"George I am so confused a man just came up to me and started walking, do you think he knows about our plan?"
"How could he it was top secret confidential"
"Oh yes I know, but, what if?"
"It is okay Susan, just go ahead with the plan nothing will go wrong!"
"Yeah, but what if something goes wrong, I mean I'm on the East coast, your on the West, how will I go through If something happens and you can't get here in time?"
"Don't worry, I have my ways"He hangs up the phone leaving Susan in dismay.
The next morning Susan gets ready to commence with the plan she takes the bomb and stuffs it in her trench coat. As she walks to her rental car the mysterious man pops up and says "You take my breath away" Terribly frightened she jumps into the car and speeds away to the factory.
She is in the factory and everything is going smoothly she drops the bomb in some acid and runs out with the excuse she is looking for the bathroom. As she is in the parking lot she sees the man again. He says "I love you!" She jumps back in the car and speeds away with the exploding factory in the background.
She calls George again.
"I did it, Mannn Caprio is dead."
"That is great did you make a clean get away?"
"Yes it was great, but there was one thing...."
"What?"
"That mystreious man popped up at the factory, he told me he loved me but I have no idea who he is"
"Susan this is getting serious get out of there as soon as you can bring your gun in the car once you get to the air port chuck it and come straight home!" He says frantically.
She follows his instructions and when she is getting away she hears tires sqealing and gun shots. She turns around it is the man. She drives faster and gets to the airport with him behind. She pulls put the gun and shoots him through the heart. Chucks the gun and gets on a plane to Salem, Oregon. She runs to George. In his arms she says "We are getting a little rusty on this get away thing I think maybe we should keep a lower profile and better weapons maybe we need a new mate." Then they smile at eachother and look into the distant ocean......
Sorry this is a little long and it isn't really that amusing
