“Omigod, yes!”
“Okay, this one is simple and it will come in very handy.” He said. “I’m going to show you how to direct your thoughts at me and receive mine in return.”
“You mean, like having a conversation in our heads?”
“Yes, exactly like that.” He replied. “You just need to clear your mind like you did before.” He paused for a moment. “Are you there?”
“Yep. Completely blank.” I scooted closer so I could hold his hand again.
“Okay, all you need to do is focus. Think of something you want to say to me and will it into my brain.”
I was so giddy about trying this that I started getting silly. I thought of that Verizon commercial.
Can you hear me? Can you hear me now?
He smirked. Yes, I’m here.
“Omigod! I just heard you!” I shouted. “How did you do that?”
“I didn’t Karli. It was all you.” He replied.
I decided to try it again. I felt a light mental strain as I pushed my thoughts forward. This is so cool! Can you still hear me?
Yes, I’m still here.
Omigod! Why is this so easy? Do we have to be touching to make it work? I asked.
No touch is necessary… although I can’t say that I mind. He smiled before continuing. It feels easy for you because it is a part of who you are. You were meant to do this.
This is unreal! If it’s so simple, why haven’t I done it before?
Telepathy only works between those who have psychic abilities. He answered. You probably communicated with your parents this way but you would have likely been too young to remember. His phone rang. Hold on a sec.
“Hello?” He said. “That was fast. Thanks for calling. I’ll be there within the hour.”
“Work?” I asked.
“Yeah. I need to head over to Forensics.” He stood up. “Can I call you later?”
I stood with him and walked him over to the door. “Of course.” I yawned. “I think I’m going to crash though, so don’t be offended if I don’t answer.”
He kissed me on the forehead and smiled. “I won’t, as long as you promise to dream about me.”
I returned his smile. “I’ll see what I can do.”
“You do that.” He gave me a sexy grin as he walked out the door.
Chapter 20
*******************
I woke up the next morning with no desire to get out of bed. I felt completely drained. Christ, I hope all of our fairy study sessions don’t make me feel like this. Sometime that afternoon, Vance called. It took every ounce of energy that I had to even reach for my phone.
“Hello.” I croaked.
“Karli, are you okay?” He asked.
“I’m really tired. Abnormally tired. Is it always going to feel like this after I try something new?”
