Teaser Monday
So I'm 64 words away from reaching 34k in my wip whose new title is THINGS LEFT UNSAID. Though there will be some plot changes in the next draft the story centers around a girl whose "perfect" sister commits suicide. There's more to the story, but once things get sorted I'll reveal more m'kay? : D
So before I post the teaser, here's the set up:
My main character Claire is seventeen and will be eighteen in a month, she works at her uncle Pierre's restaurant where she meets Sam, a twenty-two year old cook who seems to understand her and all that other good stuff.
I know some people grow weary when there is an age difference, but I don't think I can make Sam any younger without messing with the plot.
Okay, here you go....
I don't feel anything but the thump thump thump of his heart against my chest, the butterfly kisses he lands on my jaw, on my ear, and everywhere that isn't covered by my clothes.
"Sam..." I say his name like a prayer.
He answers it.
"Am I doing anything wrong?" he asked, and I don't know how to answer that seeing as though this is a script I've never read before.
Even though the lines are sketchy, I improvise. "No...it's not that. It's just...I'm..." The words still a virgin are lost on my lips but he understands and then he is pulling away but not completely. His hand is still on my stomach.
The heat of his skin seeps through my shirt.
Sam lies down beside me.
"Forgive me," he breathed. "I should have...I guess I got too carried away."
"No." I turn my head to look at him. He's looking back at me. The world standing is still. "You were perfect. I should have said something...earlier. Maybe next time we..." I stopped talking because there might not be a next time. Sam might not want there to be a next time.
So there you go! The scene before it has a lot more kissing but I'll tease the good stuff some other time. Keep in mind that this is a first draft, so it's little...meh but I hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks for reading. :D
