Title: You never know…
It was a warm spring Friday night. Melinda was at home alone. Nothing was on TV, so she decided to go online. Suddenly she found a homepage for singles in her area. She signed in with her new nickname 'Ghost Whisperer' and searched for some cute guys to chat but she didn't find anyone she'd like to talk to. 10 minutes later she had a message in her mailbox.
"Wow… Let's see who wrote me…" she said to herself while she clicked at that letter.
Dear Ghost Whisperer,
How are you? As I see you're new in this community… Do you like it?
Seeing forward to hear from you, Sweet Paramedic
Melinda didn't know what to do… Should she answer this guy? She clicked on his name in order to see his profile. On the picture was a guy with amazing blue eyes and dark hair. She immediately fell in love with this picture. In the end she wrote back…
Dear Sweet Paramedic,
I'm fine and you? I was bored, so I decided to sign in but I don't really understand how this works ;-) I wanted to upload a pic but it didn't work… Could you please help me? BTW… Love your picture…
Ghost Whisperer
She waited and waited for an answer but she didn't get one. Then she noticed that 'Sweet Paramedic' wasn't online anymore. So she went to bed. The guy with those amazing eyes followed her in her sleep. She couldn't forget him although she didn't really know him. In the morning Melinda went to the living-room of her flat switched the computer on and made some coffee. She was on the homepage again, logged herself in and looked if she had a new message but she hadn't. 'Maybe he has to work…' she thought. Then she watched on the watch. It said 8am.
"Damn… I have to get ready for work…" she said and ran towards the bathroom. When she was ready she looked again if she had a message and got disappointed. She switched off her laptop and went to her office. She worked as an assistant of the manager of a cosmetic firm. Her boss was a rich ass. He cared about no one except himself. Melinda couldn't wait for her break at 1pm. The time passed by very slowly. At 1 pm she went online again… Her heart skipped a beat when she saw that she had another message.
Dear Ghost Whisperer,
I'm sorry for not answering immediately but I got called to an accident. You know, since I'm a paramedic my shifts aren't over when the schedule says… Mentally I'm always there…
As far as the pic goes… Thanks for the compliment!!! You just have to click on 'upload photo' and then you have to search the one you want. After that you have to click on 'send'… That's all. I'm looking forward to see a pic of you soon… :D
Love, Jim (or Sweet Paramedic)
Wow… Now she knew his name without asking. Jim. That sounded like a song to her ears. Her break was over too soon. So she couldn't answer to him. She decided to answer immediately when she was at home… Jim… She felt like she'd known him forever…
Meanwhile Jim was sitting at home in front of his computer. The new member of the community touched his heart with just one message… He wondered what her real name was. He planned to ask her in his next message… He also was excited to see this woman on a picture. Suddenly he had a message in his inbox. He clicked on it and saw that it was from 'Ghost Whisperer'… AND there was a picture… 'Damn… This woman looks awesome!!!' he thought to himself.
Hey Jim,
Thanks for helping me with the pic…
So I see you're a medic??? That's awesome. I like people who help others and not always think of themselves! How do you like the graveyard shift??? Is it as scary as everyone keeps telling??
Kiss, Melinda
'What an exceptional name… Melinda… I love this name… I love this woman… I need to see her in reality. If she's half as beautiful as the picture tells I'm the luckiest man on earth' he thought. His heart was running like hell especially when he read the word 'kiss' at the end of the message. His body was shaking and in his jeans someone really came alive… He needed all his strength to answer the message.
Hey Mel,
It was a pleasure to help you… You're pretty easy on the eyes!!! :)
You have a very unusual name but I love it
Well, graveyard shift is a bit creepy but it's okay. Sometime stuff moves when no one is around and you hear something in the dark… You imagine very much… Especially when you're alone but most of the time it's funny because you can scare the other guys at the station…
So now you know that I'm a paramedic… What do you do for living??
Love, Jim
It was 7pm when Melinda came back home. She immediately went online in order to check her messages… Her heart skipped a beat. Then she opened it.
Hey Jim,
I was at work when I got your message and I didn't have the time to answer… Sorry! I'm working as an assistant of the boss of the new cosmetic firm in Grandview. How was your graveyard shift? I hope all of Grandview's residents are fine?! What are your plans for the weekend? I think I'll just stay at home. Maybe I'll meet a friend of mine…Damn, I'm so happy that I don't have to go to work on weekend…
Kiss, Melinda
P.S.: I like the nickname you've given me :)
Her heart pounded like she ran a marathon. She couldn't explain why she was like this just by writing e-mails with a stranger. Because she didn't get an answer she went offline.
The next morning she read in the news paper about an accident in which 20 people had died. A bus and a truck had crashed with full speed. Melinda had to go to the crash side in order to look for the souls of the victims. She went to her car and drove to the crash side. When she arrived the paramedics were still trying to bring some of the victims back. One of the medics looked familiar to her. "I know this guy… But where did I meet him?" she asked herself.
Jim was at the crash side, too, when he looked up and saw a woman with dark brown and an amazing body. 'Wow… that woman… Wait a minute… I know her… But where did I meet her?' he thought to himself. Suddenly he saw that the woman was talking to herself. When he decided to go to her she was away.
Meanwhile Melinda went into the forest with the souls.
"You need to cross over…"
"No, we want revenge" one of the ghosts said.
"Nothing is keeping you here. It was an accident… You guys are free. So please cross over."
"We'll go…" the spirits turned around and went into the Light.
After that Melinda went home again.
When she arrived she grabbed her laptop and went to bed. Suddenly another message received.
Dear Mel,
I'm sorry that I didn't answer but as you my have read there was a big crash and I had to help there.
Well, graveyard shift was okay… We didn't get many calls but now we have to work a lot because of the accident.
I dunno if I've to work this weekend. You know, most of the time people with children are getting free on weekends and as long as I don't have any there's always the possibility to work.
Wow… How is it to work for a firm like this? It must be interesting.
I've got a little question which is odd because we don't really know each other but I've a really good feeling about you… What do you think of meeting each other personally? I'll try to get off work and then we can meet?!
Looking forward to hear your answer!
Love, Jim
Her body was shaking. She couldn't believe it. This amazing man wanted to meet her? She couldn't help it… She had to answer him immediately.
Dear Jim,
Actually it's not as funny as you think to work for a boss like this. He's really mean. The worse boss you could ever think of… I'd like to open my own store!
YEAH, I'D LOVE TO MEET YOU. What about Wednesday?
Kiss, Mel
She wanted to go to sleep but she was too nervous to do it. So she switched on the TV. There was a late night show on. Melinda decided to watch it till she'd fall asleep. She couldn't really concentrate on the TV because Jim was on her mind. 'Oh my god… It'd be great to see him in real' she thought. She nearly was awake the whole night.
Meanwhile Jim read the message. "Yeah!" was all he could say when he read the answer of his question… A little part of him came alive. He decided to go to bed because he couldn't concentrate on writing back right now. So he did but he couldn't sleep anyway. He also stayed awake the whole night.
Both of them were thinking about the other one. Jim was happy that Melinda said 'yes' while Melinda wanted to know if Jim was free on Wednesday…
