The Twin Whisperer
They were blonde, blue-eyed and dead sexy. Oh and did I
mention twins? Muscular man twins, that is. When Melissa first set eyes on
Corey and his brother striding across the lawn of the air force base that
summer night, the fun of doublemint gum was the last thing on her mind. She was
all about the beefcake.
Melissa was at a keg party with her friends and called
dibs on him immediately. Knowing her well and having witnessed her wild
shenanigans for years, Melissa’s friends knew Corey didn’t stand a chance. As
one of the few female aircrew members, Melissa had her pick of available men on
base. And pick away she usually did. But only this super shy one made her blush.
It was months later when they ran into each other again. That
fateful day, Melissa was still recovering from a recent prophetic dream about
Corey. In it, they were married with three kids and passionately in love. Since
she’d confided this to a big-mouthed friend, Corey had been privy to her amorous
ideas. Needless to say, there was the potential for an extremely awkward
encounter.
Thankfully, they had something else to discuss. Melissa had accidentally
dyed her brunette hair a bright shade of red, provoking Corey’s smooth first remark,
“What did you do to your hair?” Luckily, it was enough to start a conversation.
Looking back, Corey recalls that, before meeting Melissa, he had no desire to
go up to someone and invite them on a date. Being ever so helpful, she was more
than happy to introduce him to an old friend who knew the way to coax him out
of his shell. I’m referring to the smooth and oh-so-sophisticated Mister Jack
Daniels.
The first date was a smashing success! Corey quickly found
himself enamored with her beauty, wit, and lovely-shaped…eyes. Melissa loved
the way he was just the right mix of reserved gentleman and goofball. She tells
him all the time, he is literally the man of her dreams.
They got married in
2000. Twelve years later, Corey works as an Air Force pilot and Melissa’s still
his devoted groupie. They live in Mississippi
with their three sons.
