Game on! is my new short story I’m serving up on Weekend Writing Warriors for their eight sentence Sunday. #8Sunday.
A semi-pro football player meets a teacher who intrigues him with an offer of a different type of game. Heath’s teammate has miss fired a pass on the beach to attract Jordan and her friend’s attention. When Heath introduces himself, she jokes him about being a well-known NFL tight end with the same first name…
His hand enveloped hers with a firm grip. “Sorry no. Ford’s the last name, but you’d make a heck of a corner back the way you picked off that pass.”
His touched electrified her, firing her thoughts in directions she’d been dodging for over a year. “Jordan, sister to three older bothers, and I can tackle too, if necessary,” she added to gauge his response.
Heath let out a low whistle and offered her his beach chair, then dropped cross-legged on the sand. She enthralled him with her spunky nature and long, chestnut hair spilling over toned shoulders to an athletic, yet shapely figure. Her sunglasses hid the feature he sought most.
“So are you guys vacationing?” she asked.
Hope you’ve enjoyed today’s eight for Game On! For more fun check out other Weekend Writing Warriors‘ blogs.
If you enjoyed the previous snippets from White Doe it is NOW free at Amazon. Will Cheyenne return and if so, will Shane learn the real reason she left?
It sounds like they’re going to be going one-on-one pretty soon! Looks like another winner here, Dani!

Nice flirtation! I really like that he wants to see her eyes. 🙂
I always enjoy my visit here. About an hour ago, my husband and I were doing some OBX dreaming… We pull up a satellite map and look at the house we stayed in and the beach in front of it. 🙂
Have a good week. 🙂

And I really struggled whether or not to use that sentence. 🙂 So happy you always enjoy visiting here. It’s part of my goal to help readers feel closer to OBX. Hope you can visit the Outer Banx again soon. My dream is to own a vacation house there…

I liked her answer, about the brothers. I think you have a typo – “land hand”? But I enjoyed the excerpt very much, want to keep reading! Great 8…
