Busy week! Finished up final proof on a novella and final draft on a novel. I’m nearly done with my paid editing gig (so if anyone is looking for an editor…).
I’m continuing with Anthem this week. For a bit of my current WIP, you can check out WIPpet Wednesday (and feel free to jump in on that, too—it’s a great blog hop with a variety of genres). This is a continuation of last week’s snippet. It’s a tad over 6 sentences, but it didn’t really make sense to cut it short. If you read last week’s, you know Nate and Trevor are talking first times. Nate doesn’t exactly have romantic notions about his.
“Wait, I never told you the story?” Nate leaned back and stretched out his long legs. “Okay, well, we’d been working up to it for a while, but that day, we were down there and out of the blue, he goes, ‘You wanna?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, whatever, but what about your mom?’”
“What did he say?”
“He says, ‘When Pop and his friends are watching the game, they make these sounds like they’re screwing. So we put on the game and turn it up, and if Ma hears us, she’ll just think it’s that.’”
“Oh, my god. You believed him?” Trevor gaped at him and burst out laughing.
“Well, yeah. I mean, horny seventeen-year-old, right?”

Okay, now I want to hear the rest of that story! ;D
I’ll be posting from this for a while, so we’ll get there. 🙂
Hahahaha…did the mom bust them?
You’ll have to wait and see. 😉
Heeheehee… Somehow I don’t think that worked. 🙂
Guess that depends on how you define “worked.” LOL! 😉
That doesn’t bode well for poor Nate!
Have to say i love your description of the group as safe and welcoming. <3
Ha! Yeah, though I think Nate’s memory is a bit…rose-colored, perhaps? LOL.
I described the group exactly how I felt the first time I stopped by. 🙂
Haha, sounds like a hilarious anecdote!
Yeah, Trevor is definitely enjoying hearing this juicy tidbit. 😀
Cute!
Thanks! 🙂
ohh you left me curious to read more and see if they got caught.
LOL, I’ll be posting more next week. 😉
LOL! Fun snippet. And now I have to know if it worked.
😀 Nate will tell all this weekend. Or he’ll tell more, anyway.
Ha. I’m not so sure that’s going to work.
We-ell, that depends on what’s meany by “work.” Hee hee!
