Sunday Six Sentences
Each Sunday, post six sentences from a writing project -- published, submitted, in progress, for your cat -- whatever.
Original:
“I already know what I want,” she tells him.
He smiles wryly and taps the tip of her nose. “Well I didn’t spend my entire summer taking classes at the junior college and obsessing over application essays. Sometimes you’re so driven, it’s scary.”
“You love me, though.” Jennifer smiles and pushes his messy black hair off his forehead.
He grins back and kisses her, whispering against her mouth, “Yeah, I do. What does that make me?”
“A fool. But I’m one as well for loving you, so you’re in good company.”
Fanfiction:
Spencer drinks some more whiskey and mutters, “I’m not stupid. I know this isn’t a kids’ game.”
“I never said otherwise.”
“So are we on the same side?”
“No.” Melissa’s eyes glitter oddly in the lamplight as she says, “But I’m not against you.”
“What are you talking about?” Spencer asks, her gaze growing more pointed and searching.
“I’m just saying that if it comes down to it, I don’t know if you’ll pick me over your friends.”
