This scene will need little introduction, because it's the beginning of the exchange. We're in Adam's head and 16-year-old Karla has told Adam there's something very important she has to tell him, but she doesn't want to do it with her extended family watching. (It's Thanksgiving Day.)
She's about to send Master Adam into uncharted waters. The humorous scene that follows makes me laugh every time I read it. And, yes, I can count and it IS 7 sentences. But one is only one word, so I figured you'd cut me some slack.
Karla splayed her gloved hand on his chest, over his heart, and looked up at him with those big sparkling blue eyes surrounded by that God-awful makeup and pink hair. She searched his eyes for a long moment, he didn’t know for what.
Fuck. He felt a niggling at the scar on the back of his neck—always a sign he wasn’t going to want to deal with whatever was incoming. God, he hoped she wasn’t about to say what he thought she was getting ready to lay on him.
“Adam, I l-l-love you.”
Double fucking damn.

ReplyDeleteOh, Kelly, but he's so clueless. He really thinks he's in control--even when she comes back into his life nine years later. *shakes head* Nope, he doesn't stand a chance against Karla.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! Glad you enjoyed it!
Kally
LOL...I can almost see the cringe in my head.
ReplyDeleteNice job. I have loved Mark Harmon since he was in Flamingo Road with Morgan Fairchild (dating myself aren't I?) Fun six.
ReplyDeleteGreat six!
ReplyDeleteAnd my daughter has a pic like the one you used for Karla...she wanted to get her hair done like that. LOL
Excellent!

ReplyDeleteYou are killing me with the Mark Harmon pics. Damn.. Oh yeah....I loved the 6 too. Remember the scene where Gibbs was talking to the Madame and she said, "I bet you like it rough." he answer was, "There's a time and place for everything." He is so perfect for a Dom.
ReplyDeleteFabulous - I'm withJayel...Mark Harmon has long been a huge crush of mine and I have to say I can imagine him as Master at Arms very well thank you ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome six (well, seven) sentences! I loved that he's panicking and that she's determined no matter how nervous she is. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNicely done. Nice tension. Enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteBeyond awkward. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteAh, that sort of uncharted territory. Great six!
