STEVE
I select the white button-down as a substitute of the blue button-down. Essie picked it up from the dry cleaner simply yesterday, so it’s contemporary, and crisp, and white sufficient to blind an individual. This shirt is for my go well with look, which I used to be going to put on tonight. However I’ve modified my thoughts.
Swimsuit Man is sizzling. Little doubt. However work-is-over-now, sleeves-rolled-up man is even hotter. His hair is sexily messy, there’s stubble on his jaw after a tough day’s work, and he’s somewhat bit weary.
Not drained. Weary. Large distinction.
Drained is… ‘I must go to mattress early tonight. Alone.’
Weary is… ‘I want a neck therapeutic massage and a very good fuck.’
I debate the deserves of carrying a tie in entrance of the mirror, smirking at myself as I do the entire with-without factor.
I am going with ‘with.’ However I make it unfastened, like I’ve been working laborious pushing paper round all day, complaining about purchasers, and calling for my assistant on the interphones.
I like this look. I believe my subsequent male lead wants this look. What ought to I name it? ‘Soiled workplace?’ No. That conjures up pictures of trash cans and janitors, who I’m certain can be attractive. However that requires a variety of backstory for a romance novel.
I’ll name this look… ‘after hours.’ Mmm. Significantly better. This conjures up pictures of nightclubs and intercourse within the lavatory.
Dare I take into consideration bedding pretty Cordelia tonight? Is she that type of lady?
Most likely not.
But it surely doesn’t harm to ship the correct message. I imply, I’m completely up for intercourse on the primary non-date if she is.
On this second, I’ve a revelation. I’m writing scenes in my head. I’m constructing characters. And whereas sure, that is one thing writers do… it’s not one thing I have been doing. Not since that disastrous flirt with science fiction.
May it’s that Cordelia is my muse?
May she be the inspiration I’ve been ready for?
Is Cordelia Sarantopoulos my mild on the finish of a really darkish tunnel of self-loathing? Will Steve Smith shed his insecurities after a calamitous run-in with murderous critics and stay to write down one other sci-fi masterpiece?
Holy shit. I’m even writing blurbs in my head.
Perhaps Terry was proper?
Perhaps my life is a romance novel?
Perhaps that’s the key to success? Stay life prefer it’s fiction.
I might need to trademark that.
I WILL ACTUALLY BE GIVING AWAY TWO PRIZE PACKS.
