"Right" or Wrong...We'll Always Have Brownies
Happy Hot Tuesday and another edition of Tuesday Tales. Today, I return to my current WIP, Multiple Scorgasms for my Fantasy Leagues series. This week we write to the word prompt "right".
This book is currently with a set of beta readers, I'm excited for their feedback. But, for now, let's return to Lola and her co-worker, Eugene.
“Eugene, can
you take over for me tomorrow?”
“Lola, you
are not going to wimp out now. You aren’t bleeding or in the hospital. Put on
your big girl panties.”
Eugene
wasn’t going to let me descend into the cave. Somehow, I think he sensed danger
in letting me wallow. Fucker. “You’re an asshole.”
“Yeah, maybe
so, but, you don’t pay me enough to take your place on a Sunday, so get over
it.”
“I hate you
sometimes, Eugene.” My stomach burned and my eyes narrowed. “I’m not paying you
anymore money!”
“This I
know.”
“You are
impossibly immature. I don’t know what your problem is, but, PMS never lasts
this long with you. I hate to ask, but, what gives?”
What? Did
Eugene just ask me what was wrong? I’m sure my dazed and confused look created
the equally distressing appearance on his. Do I tell him I lost both my men in
less than a month? No I don’t. “Every time I watch football, I think about Rudy
and it’s almost too much.” I plopped down in the chair with less grace than an
Alka-Seltzer dropped in water. Plop plop
fat fat…you know that tune. Maybe I changed the lyrics a little. My recent
obsession with pie and brownies had something to do with it.
“Have you
seen Rudy?”
“No, I did
talk with a buddy of his. He is only seeing family right now, and his agent.”
“Is he
permanently paralyzed?”
“The doctors
can’t say yet. Of course he is receiving top notch care and all the latest
advances.”
“Are you
permanently paralyzed?”
I pursed my
lips and stamped one foot like a spoiled child. “No, you know damn well I’m
not.”
“Then, quit
acting like it. If you are truly friends with Rudy, you will honor his life and
his passion by fulfilling your own and those twenty-six projects showing up
tomorrow."
“I…I…screw
you, I hate it when you make sense.”
“I’ve told
you from the beginning. I’m all business- no frills. If you want someone to lie
to you, you should have hired someone else.”
“I’m glad I
hired you. I pay you to make me feel good, in a way, you’re my gigolo.”
“Why must
you reference sex in everything? I’m walking away now.” Eugene left the room,
his quick stride getting him away quickly.
He got more than one thing right in that
conversation. I did try to reference sex with everything. I wondered how much
longer I could get away with it.
