Guest Post: Ellie Mack - Flash Fiction (2/7)
Hi, guys! It's that time of the week... the time when I have a guest from the Virtual Blog Tour! And this week on the tour we're going flash fiction pieces! YAY! And I have Ellie Mack, and I think you guys need to give her a big hand as this is the first piece of flash fiction that she has ever written!
So the brief was to go to a website were the image changes every day, I think this was Thursday's image... so it just shows you guys how long I've been holding onto this little gem of a flash fiction piece! Here was her prompt... and below it is her flash fiction "Take Aim"!
Take Aim
By
Ellie Mack
Ethan
Baldovani adjusted his zoom lense. Nora
Snowe was at the water’s edge pacing in front of the same bench where she’d
been meeting him. Ethan didn’t know the
man’s name, he didn’t care.
As
he clicked another few pictures his anger stirred. Why was she being so stubborn? Nora was as beautiful as ever, her thick dark
hair hung down her back, begging him to run his fingers through it. Her full lips beckoned for him to run towards
her and kiss her. Her lush curves were far too visible for other men to see.
Why did she insist on wearing those snug fitting jeans? She was his damn
it!
He
could forgive her abrupt halt to their wedding, it wasn’t uncommon for brides
to be nervous. Why she insisted on
playing this ridiculous game, he didn’t understand. He had given her time to come to her senses
yet she still insisted they were through. This parade of men that she flaunted
before him infuriated him.
They
hadn’t even begun their life together, how could they be through? He kept himself busy making sure everything
at their house was perfect for Nora.
Ethan had paid a small fortune for the decorator to reproduce exactly
the pictures from Nora’s dream folder. A
ridiculous amount was shelled out for the life sized painting of Nora that hung
over the fireplace. Everything was in
place, except Nora.
Out
of the corner of his eye he caught the movement. The tall slender man she’d been meeting with
was moving towards her. Ethan shifted
his camera angle, taking several shots to make sure he got different
expressions. Nora turned, then took a
few jogging steps towards him. They
embraced. Ethan clenched his jaw, his
lips tightened to a white line of fury as he noted the pleasure Nora displayed
openly towards this other man. She used
to greet him with that smile. It was
Ethan’s right to kiss her, to hold her, feel her body against his. Ethan often fantasized about taking her on
their wedding night.
That man had no business having
his hands on Ethan’s woman. His blood
pressure rose with his anger. It was
time to teach him a lesson, just like that nosy cop.
As
the couple sat on the bench, hand in hand Ethan fumed. When Nora leaned in and kissed him, Ethan
wanted to scream. It had been nearly a
year since she’d given him one of her smiles, much less her affections. By the
time the couple walked away hand in hand, Ethan had devised how he would
eliminate yet another man that dared to touch his woman.
