Game On! Don’t call me darlin, darlin #8Sunday

10 Comments

weekend_writing_warriorsveteransbadge_4Game On! is my short story I’m serving up on Weekend Writing Warriors for #8Sunday.

A semi-pro football player meets a teacher who intrigues him with an offer of a different type of game. While tossing the football at the beach, Heath and his teammate start up a conversation with a couple women after nearly hitting them with a misfired pass.  After some friendly teasing she asks if he’s Southern because of his dialect and he replies, “I’m originally from South Carolina, dahlin.”

Jordan recoiled as if slapped, sank back into her beach chair, and folded her arms over her chest. Gooseflesh pimpled along her biceps.

“I’m sorry, that was forward,” he said, softly.

“Just a sudden chill from the beer.”

He didn’t buy it. Damn, he’d never tanked with a girl by calling her darling. How could a mere endearment piss her off more than almost being nailed with a football? That’s what he wanted and needed to find out.

Game On! A Southern Endearment #8Sunday

weekend_writing_warriorsveteransbadge_4Game On! is my new short story I’m serving up on Weekend Writing Warriors for #8Sunday.

A semi-pro football player meets a teacher who intrigues him with an offer of a different type of game. While tossing the football at the beach, Heath and his teammate start up a conversation with a couple women after nearly hitting them with a misfired pass.  After some friendly teasing, Heath is intrigued by Jordan’s spunky personality and athletic beauty. 

She leaned forward and flipped up her shades and claimed him with a pair of wide, honey-brown eyes.

Arousal snaked through his belly, winding tight. “So you’re a local?”

“Born and raised,” she replied. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe I hear a southern inflection in your voice, she said with a smile reaching her mesmerizing doe eyes.

A summer fling or more trouble? Heath’s body demanded what his mind cautioned. Then again, there wasn’t anything wrong with dinner. “I’m originally from South Carolina, dahlin.”
