2014 A to Z Blogging Challenge
A Rural Life
Day 5
E is for Eye of the Beholder
Today’s blog, being it publishes on a Saturday, was originally intended to do double duty. Not only is this the
first Saturday in the 2014 A to Z Blogging Challenge, it would have been a My Sexy Saturday Saturday. I have a book with an E title which works perfectly except My Sexy Saturday is taking a short hiatus.
In the spirit of the My Sexy Saturday blog hop, here are seven paragraphs from
Eye of the Beholder. Our hero, Ben, met the new guy at the local coffee shop
just yesterday. This morning, he goes back for more conversation and to see if
Andy will go out with him. Andy knows how to flirt, as Ben discovers, and
the good news is Andy already likes him a lot. Enjoy!

I nibbled at my muffin
for a few minutes. Andy was sorta cute. I could invite him to a movie this
afternoon and see what he said. It was one sure way to find out which team he
batted for. “When do you get off, Andy?”
A smile teased his lips as he
cocked his head to the left and raised his eyebrow. “Usually about midnight
every night, one way or the other.”
“Ben, are you attempting to ask me
out?”
I gripped my coffee cup for dear
life as I gathered my wits. “I’m not sure now. I think you might need to go
home and get some sleep.”
He leaned forward and brushed his
knuckles across mine. “I don’t like to sleep alone, Ben.”
The smooth, silky way he said my
name made me shiver, but I’m sure he intended that I would. Heart thudding
unevenly in my chest, I met his gaze.

Firstly, it's a shame some people have neither intelligence nor manners. Hope the trolls didn't upset you beyond that sinking feeling you get when you consider that you share genetic code.
Secondly, your writing is bright and lively and I can feel the buzz of attraction. You surely are an expert flirt :-)
Visiting from the A-Z, very pleased to have stopped by!

Lisa, thanks for stopping by the blog so early in the morning! And thank you so much for your kind words about my writing. That's better than the first sip of coffee in the morning :)
As for the other, it's a shame there are persons who simply can't live and let live. I've read some real nastiness in the comment section of blogs. I just don't see how being nasty helps the world be a better place.
You are a great writer! This scene is fun, flirty, and makes me want to read more! I'm your newest follower.

Thanks, Brenda!
Thx for dropping by at 'Keeping it simple'.
Quite interesting write up and archives. It definitely takes bravado to write in different perspectives.
Keep up the good work and best wishes.
