If I had to describe myself, it would be in a word that has many meanings with a complexity which falls off the tongue.
A word made up of many elements, is deceptive in appearance, and creates an illusion from the imagination.
My word would be Phantasmagoric. ~Summer Ross

No kiss blogfest entry

This is my entry for the No Kiss Blogfest
read my entry then go check out the others.

Its in chapter 4 of my WIP Beyond Words. Yes I have these things called Works in Progress that are not short stories. (Smiley face)


 Okay so here is my two main characters Luke and Shray. They just got into a fight and have only been around each other for two days.

 On with the no kissing!


 ****

Shray sucked in a deep breath and jumped as the screen door slammed shut. She couldn't sit there and take it, no she'd done that for to long before, she wasn't going to let it happen this time. She didn't need a man in her life and after Luke's reaction, Shray was almost certain he knew how she could get home. Shray threw herself up from the couch and stomped out after Luke, she found him in the stall saddling Blaze.

“Luke, I'm in no mood for these games. I realize I'm only staying with you out of your good will. If you just helped me, even tried, I might get out of your busy lonely life a lot sooner,” Shray said. She was attempting to make the effort to be polite, but she wasn't sure it was working. He wasn't even looking at her.

Luke's shoulders hunched slightly and he turned to face her. He no longer looked angry. His eyes were sad and held something Shray was unsure of, an unfamiliar fire twinkled in their depths.

“Who said I wanted you to go?” He took the step that stood between them and instantly had her face in his hands. Her pulse rocketing to an unthinkable level. Shray closed her eyes and tried to cower away. And then she felt his hot breath barely over her lips. Her heart stuttered in anticipation, then nothing. Shray opened her eyes, Luke let her go, huffed and walked away.

Yay for awkward misunderstandings leading to no-kiss moments! Also, i'm really pro a no-kiss moment in a barn stall. i don't know why, but that seems like a perfect setting

Luke sure seems to know what he wants! Too bad he stopped-- I'm wondering what made him pull back.
