Welcome
to another Weekend Writing Warriors with eight from LICK. My Contemporary NA
out 1st July. Here's the quickie blurb for those unfamiliar with the story...
Evelyn Thomas’s plans for celebrating her
twenty-first birthday in Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure as hell never meant
to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hang-over to rival the black plague, a
very attractive half-naked tattooed man beside her, and a diamond on her finger
large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all
happened.
We’re
continuing straight on from last week. Here’s the link if you’d like a
catch-up. Our hero is fishing for asprin for our poor hung over heroine.
One by one he emptied
the contents of his pockets out onto the cold white tiles. A credit card, guitar
picks, a phone and a string of condoms. The condoms gave me pause but I was
soon distracted by what emerged next. A multitude of paper scraps tumbled out
onto the floor. All had names and numbers scrawled across them. This guy was Mr
Popularity. Hey, I could definitely see why.
Finally, he produced a small bottle of pain-killers.
Yikes! lol. Nobody I'd ever want my daughter to meet.
ReplyDeleteGood post. Wonderful collection of items in his pocket. Adds a good sense of intrigue!
Kylie, I didn't post this week. Meant to leave that comment on the last one. I didn't want Warriors going to my blog to reciprocate. I never made it around last week, so just visiting this week. :-)
ReplyDeleteI luurve rock star heroes :)
ReplyDeleteIs the pain killer a bad sign? Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I hope he knows what he got them into, 'cause she doesn't. Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteHeh, I'm kinda surprised it's just a *small* bottle. ;D
ReplyDeleteNice glimpse at who he is. Condoms and phone numbers, in that order. hoo-ey.
ReplyDeleteI'm with J Rose, really a terrific way to tell us a lot about him while keeping us VERY intrigued! Terrific snippet!
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet. I'm intrigued and want to know more. The guy is prepared...girl, ring and condoms. lol
ReplyDeleteNice writing. The guy sounds interesting. Good job.
ReplyDeleteLOL I love that he has a bottle of aspirin on him. Talk about prepared!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is you're good. I have to budget better so I can buy The Colonist's Wife. That'll be my next buy, followed by this one.
ReplyDeleteGood description. I guess the condoms, pills and phone numbers sums up her impression of him rather well. :)
