Hi And welcome to this week's eight sentences. I am moving on with 'Pleasing Mia'. Scott is trying to get to know Mia as they sit in the wine bar:
MY EIGHT:
Scott drank
carefully, ordering just one more cocktail for them both. Everything had to be
right this evening, he knew he could not afford to mess things up and risk Mia
running out on him again. It would be fantastic if he could persuade her to
stay the night.
Scott excused himself. On his return however he was
overcome with unreasonable jealousy to find another man talking to Mia.
It was a man much the same age as himself, mid
twenties, though he was showing signs of obvious wealth in his stature. His
clothes were expensively cut and there was a gleaming Rolex shining out from
his tanned wrist. Scott’s stomach tightened and he briefly considered punching
the guy’s lights out before sanity prevailed.

Synopsis:
On a weekend visit to a local nightclub, Scott, a quiet, good looking man, sets his eyes on a beautiful girl dancing with complete abandonment on the dance floor. Everybody is watching her, though she seems oblivious to any attention she is receiving. The girl (Mia) is simply lost in the music.
When eventually circumstances lead her to succumb to his quiet charm Scott discovers Mia’s wild sexual nature is not restricted to the dance floor. As he struggles to keep up with her sexual prowess and ever changing moods Scott discovers a side of himself that he had not deemed possible. Pleasing Mia is by no means an easy accomplishment. Will Scott succeed?
Heck with sanity -- punch his lights out! ;D Great description!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh. Poor Scott has a little competition...
ReplyDeleteHe can't punch him so he's going to have to be sexier and more interesting. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's not what you'd want to see when you're returning to the table. I guess Scott's regretting leaving her for a moment. Can't wait to see what happens next :-)
ReplyDeleteOooh, jealousy rears its head, and apparently justifiably so. Glad his common sense prevailed, but how will he handle the situation?
ReplyDeleteNothing like a little zing of jealousy to spice things up.
ReplyDeleteScott's inner thoughts are written so well. I feel his conflicts.
ReplyDeleteWell I don't think he should leave her alone, clearly. I always feel as if there's some mystery lurking right below the surface here and I love it! Great 8!
ReplyDeleteOh jealousy does tend to make anger bumble to the surface. Loved the 8!
ReplyDeleteMia might not like rich good looking men...he he he. Very fun eight.
ReplyDeleteOh, male animal instinct rearing it head! And Scott so wanted the evening to go well. This does toss a kink in his plans --good for you Gemma, doing that. Keeps a story lively when we toss stuff in our characters way. Nice 8 I can feel on the inside he's freaking out.

I so agree with what Cindy said. It was a good time for a change up--to have Scott be seen as more than just desperate to have things go well and to get the opportunity to "try" to please Mia. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, now what? Scott, don't let her get away! He won't, I'm guessing, but I can't help being nervous about it.
ReplyDeleteRandomly punching people, even if they are hitting on your date, is not usually the way to go.
ReplyDeleteStill, the fact that the other guy is wealthy doesn't mean she'll leave with him. Stay hopeful, Scott!
Never punch a guy with a Rolex. They usually have expensive lawyers too. but the green eyed monster can trump clear thinking far too often.
