I’m such a tease…

only in writing.*

Well I said the first teaser was going up this week and here it is.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

He sighs. At least, I think it’s a sigh. It’s an inhuman sound. He stands, dropping Carly like she’s nothing, and walks towards me.

My breath catches. I brace myself, ready to run.

Only I don’t.

I’m not moving at all. I’m screaming at my legs to go but there aren’t obeying. It’s like being weighted – I can’t move and I’m fighting for air. It’s like the stillness I felt earlier, only a hundred times worse.

I feel hot and my vision begins to swim. A force is pushing me towards him, drawing me in. I try to dig my heals into the grass but it does little to stop me. I’m almost through the hedge when he’s suddenly right in front of me.

We are so close our faces are almost touching. A few leaves between us, nothing more. He must see me, surely he has to see me.

I can feel his breath on my face. It feels thick, like a blanket cutting off the air. His smell is something I’ve never smelled before and it’s suffocating me. I whimper, I might be begging, I’m too drowsy to tell and then suddenly it’s all gone.

Even though I was going to give myself the week off I’ve dived head first into revisions, along with starting a couple of basic outlines for the WIPs. I love revisions, who knew? *lol*

*I think that’s important to note

I’m going to Vegas!

I have made various attempts at screaming this and jumping around celebrating. I confess I’ve been unsuccessful in both. I can’t scream – occasionally I squeak but that’s as close as I get. Also, the carefully arranged pathways around my furniture, do not give sufficient room for bouncing. I could go outside but my neighbours think I’m peculiar enough as it is…

Anyway, back to Vegas and dance*
Yep dance, I’m going to Vegas for the shows, not to gamble. Though if a slot machine wants to give me the big cash prize I’ll happily except and invest it wisely in book cases and maybe fixing my shelf.

In the quirky unexpected ways things happen, one of the things I’m most excited about is going to see the So You think You Can Dance Tour,** which we will be trying to book tickets for this Friday. Fingers crossed for that!

Ever since we decided on this I’ve gone Kent Kent Kent whenever something at work has gone wrong. I tried So You think You Can Dance So You think You Can Dance So You think You Can Dance, but it doesn’t trip of the tongue that easily so I’m sticking to Kent Kent Kent.***

These thoughts along with planning various Cirque De Soleil visits is keeping me very happy. It’s only 104 days or 2496 hours (approx) to go, not that I’m counting… not at all.

Anyway, BIG NEWS – my first spoiler teaser is coming out next week so be sure to stop by.

*did I mention how much I love dance?

** I want to say it’s in Vegas when we were going but it’s not quite true, we did rearrange the trip so we could make the show.
No I’m not kidding, my friend (not writing buddy) and I flew all the way to Philadelphia for 4 days to see the Dancing with the Stars Tour. I still have the program, signed by the cast (that’s another long story)

*** it conjures up the same happy thoughts. I am considering alternating on a weekly basis with the other dancers…
