About this ebook
Cisco Boyd believes in fortune cookies and horoscopes. Despite his lack of success in finding a steady boyfriend -- or at least, a date who doesn't think Denny's is the epitome of haute cuisine -- Cisco never doubts that eventually, the stars will lead him to the man of his dreams.
One day after a meal, Cisco reads the little piece of paper inside his cookie which says "red is the color of your heart's desire." So, when Cisco's date turns up wearing a red shirt, he's ecstatic. But then, things turn ugly in his apartment, and Cisco has to call the front desk for assistance from his bathroom, where he's locked himself in.
Benjy McCrae, head of security, comes to his rescue and Cisco is very grateful. And then he notices Benjy's red tie. Cisco's "heart's desire" has been under his nose all along. The stars are finally in his favor.

The Cookie Said Red
By J.D. Walker
He’s wearing red.
It was the start of the weekend, and I stood before my closet, trying to decide if a silk, long-sleeved fuchsia shirt would be too much for a first date. Then again, I was always a little too much for most people, so maybe it didn’t matter what I wore. But it did.
What are you muttering on about, Cisco?
Amy James, my friend and confidant, asked. She sat on my bed, sorting through the clothing that I’d been throwing behind me in fits of disgust. I had to find just the right outfit. It could make or break this epic Friday night event.
I huffed and puffed. This evening’s rendezvous, silly. My date said he’d wear a red shirt. Isn’t it perfect? Just like that fortune cookie said a few days ago.
She rolled her eyes. It didn’t use those words, exactly.
Still.
Okay, so the little piece of paper had said red will be the color of your heart’s desire.
That was close enough for me. I placed a hand on my hip and tapped my left foot. I needed to make a decision. Time was running out, and Jamie Coltrane—my very fine date for the evening—would be at my door in ten minutes.
Right,
Amy retorted. And the week before last, it was your horoscope that predicted, and I quote, ‘Yellow will lead your heart to love.’ Then, you went out with a guy who had a yellow sports car and serious halitosis.
I winced at the memory. Maury had been a nice guy, but that breath of his had made me see stars. I had to sit across from him the whole evening, leaning back in my chair as far as I could with a smile pinned to my face, occasionally hiding behind the menu, or sneezing into my handkerchief, claiming allergies. He’d taken us to Denny’s, too, of all places. Disaster.
So? Sometimes there’ll be a few duds.
Win some, lose some, was my motto. Why can’t I be hopeful? This is going to be the one. I know it!
I decided on the mint green turtleneck I’d bought on Amazon. It would set off my tight white slacks and dark skin to perfection.
