Physical
Details about the character: Is he/she short, tall, thin, old, etc?
Steele Adams is a 35 years old trial lawyer.
He is six three, slender but fit. I have found myself staring at him when he
takes off his suite jackets. His shirts tell me that there is a surprise that
lies beneath. I would love to find it, undoing his shirt one button at a time. The
silhouettes of his muscles make me feel a range of emotions. First I feel safe.
Then I feel like I should play a damsel in distress so that he can rescue. Then
I am mad at myself because I don’t do the damsel thing. I am trying to figure
out a way for him to hold me in his arms. Maybe I should pretend I am chocking.
But what if he is not CPR certified? That idea could backfire. I am going to
figure something out.

Physical
environment surrounding the character: Is he/she on a desert island, in an
urban community, living in the mountains, etc?
Steele is as successful as he is
handsome. His office is located on the 35th floor of the Willoughby
Tower on Michigan Ave. The pictures on his wall are a roaster of who is who in
Chicago. But the true story of his success is on his desk and book case. He has
awards that chronicle his journey to the 35th floor. I love that he
has not let his success get to his head. I like walking to his window and
looking out on the city. Everything seems so small and fair way. I can lose
myself in this view. I mainly dream of Steele and I together, if only I could
get out of the friend zone.

The
other characters surrounding the character: What kinds of people does the
character associate with?
We have a tight-knit group of friends who
we are on our way to meet. Jasmine Cabrera is a dermatologist. She shares the
most graphic stories about her clients’ skin deceases. I am glad when she does
not join us so that I do not have to hear her stories. I think she shares tells
us about her cases on purpose just to make me mad. Steve Collins is a
cardiologist, which is ironic given that he is always given heart attacks to
these little girls around here. He likes to love them and leave them which
results in a trail of broken hearts and tears. The person the ruins our group
is Stephanie Malone. She is an Assistant Principal at a private school in the
city. I can tell that she also likes Steele. She is shameless when it comes to him;
always touching him and flipping her hear. He is not funny but not that funny
but she laughs extra loud. She is a problem in my world.

The
things that the character does: Does he/she go to school, fly an airplane, eat
pizza every night for dinner, etc?
I am a Public Relations vice president.
I love my job because it fun but also flexible. It allows me to meet Steele for
lunch once or twice a month. I like going to court and watch him at work. He is
so passionate. I sit back and imagine what that passion must feel like outside
of the courtroom. Then I realize that I am blushing and I try to think about
other things like reading the bible to my grandma. I have to set myself
straight but his sexiness makes it hard. Sweet Lord, how can I make him love
me? I am not catholic but I am stopping by church and light a candle tonight. I
need divine intervention here.
5.
The
things that the character says or thinks: These things reveal the character’s
feelings and opinions about things.
Today’s lunch was intense. Steele
decided to share that he feels he is at a good place in his life and career.
However, he feels that he is missing out since he is not sharing his life and
success with someone. My mind is rising because I can’t let this opportunity
pass me by. I am worried about what it would mean for our friendship. But, I
don’t want to be just friends. I don’t know what to do. If Steele is telling me
this, it is a matter of time before Stephanie finds out. I am making my move. I
have to take a chance and tonight is the night.
