NaNo Week 4 With teaser
Well, NaNo's almost at an end and once again I have failed dismally at reaching 50k. On the plus side, I managed to get up to almost 13k (as of this afternoon) which is an achievement. I just hope I can keep going with it and actually finish it. Who knows, it may even be publishable.
I know for a fact I won't be able to take part in NaNo next year as my final year of uni will be epically crazy, but in all honesty, I doubt I'll attempt it again. I find that I put myself under so much pressure which then allows me to get distracted by anything and everything which I then use as an excuse as to why I haven't written every day.
At least I'm honest eh? I'll do another post when NaNo is over completely.
Anyway,now for a teaser. Enjoy:
I was putting the finishing touches to my make up when a buzzing sounded, signalling Luke arriving ten minutes early.“Fuck! I haven’t done my hair.” I ran into the hallway, my hand full of Kirby grips.“Stop panicking. Go get pretty, I’ll keep him entertained for a few.” Becky shooed me back into my room as she picked up the intercom handset. I ran out of sight before he came in.“So, you’re Luke.” I rolled my eyes a few seconds later at Becky’s stating of the obvious as I pulled my hair into a simple up plait and secured it with about a million hair grips. I checked my make up was still in place before putting in some earrings and pulling on a wooden, chunky bracelet. I walked into the living room to find Luke looking around curiously. I couldn’t see Becky, and for that I was glad.“Hi.” I cursed the smallness of my voice caused by the flutter of nerves that had decided to move into my stomach. Luke spun round, a smile on his face.“Hey, you look great.” Luke himself looked really good. Slim fit black jeans, a loose fitting jumper pulled up to the elbows showing off obscenely attractive forearms.“Thanks. I was worried about looking too casual, but seeing you, I feel a little over dressed.” I indicated his battered lace up boots and his fashionably mussed brown hair. “But, you look good too.” I quickly added. I allowed my eyes to travel up his impressive body. He was taller than me, but thanks to my heels, I was looking at his lips rather than his adam’s apple. Both were very attractive, but distracting. I heard him clear his throat and pulled my eyes up to his face. It was obvious, from the wide smile, he’d been watching me checking him out.“What?” I shrugged the embarrassment away determined not to blush.“Calm down Soph. I’m sure Luke doesn’t mind you looking at him like he’s your main course at dinner.” Becky appeared from nowhere. I gaped at her as she continued to speak. “Quit mentally undressing him, go out, get lashed, and continue onto sexy times.”“See you later.” I grabbed my bag and a light jacket and led Luke out of the flat before I gagged Becky.“Did she really just use the term ‘sexy times’?” Luke sniggered. I groaned, causing him to laugh even harder.“She doesn’t get much opportunity to speak to adults being a nanny. Her filter’s a bit crap.”“Say no more. My sister works with young kids and she’s a little odd too.”“That’s a bit mean.” I allowed him to guide me over to his gleaming car.
