Happy Mother's Day!
If you've been following for the past few weeks, you know that Ebony was determined to catch the eye of the hunky drum player in the band. In her efforts to get his attention, she placed herself in front of the stage and danced. When song ended, she realized nearly every man in the vicinity was showing their approval. Everyone but the drummer that is. But another band member noticed her. The blond haired, blue-eyed guitar player.
How will she handle his
unexpected attention?
He
was attractive but… he was white, not what I was aiming for. My lips tilted in
a small smile before I moved out of his line of sight, placing myself in front
of dancers who’d moved closer to the stage blocking my view of the drummer.
The next song played, and again, I tried to
get lost in the music. My eyes closed, it was impossible to find my grove again
without feeling stalked. The hair on the back of my neck stood up, drawing my
attention down the length of the stage and to the guitar player, who once
again, watched me with a predatory gleam in his eye. When the song ended, I
worked my way back to my friends.
Ebony, girl, that sounds like a man who’s not about to let
you out of his sight! And he’s good looking too? Could he be the one? Come back next week to find out! (I promise, you'll actually find out next week!)
Nice excerpt!
ReplyDeleteI am really drawn in by how this story is developing. Your description makes me feel as if I'm in the club with her - excellent excerpt!
ReplyDeleteI love this scene. I can just see Ebony dancing in front of the stage and capturing the guitar player's attention. Now what's she going to do?
ReplyDeleteGreat writing!Ebony is such an engaging character. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you guys! Glad you can 'feel the music', lol.
ReplyDelete@ Sharon, Thanks!
@Veronica, glad your being drawn in! It's my goal for Ebony to be the character all women can relate too, no matter what race, because lets face it, as women, we all face the same issues.
@ Sandy, come back next week and your gonna find out!
@ Peggy, I'm glad to see you find her engaging, such a great compliment! Thanks!
