Weekend Writing Warriors #15!

Holy crap! I almost forgot to post something tasty for you fabulous people to read! My apologies. Long weekends will do that to a girl. Plus, I'm hanging out with one of my favourite gal pals and we stayed up super late watching Firefly episodes and young Nathan Fillion...Enough said. 

So, without further ado, here is a little snippet from my romantic comedy, Cheapskates in Love! Wait! I actually have an official blurb for this one! And a cover! Because it released back in January! :D

Here's the blurb! 

It’s couples' skating night down at the local rink and Elena Armstrong can’t seem to keep her cocky jock blind date around long enough to knee him in the balls. Sadly, she was too much of a cheapskate to pay for a membership to an online dating site and based everything on Leonard’s personality profile alone. Big mistake.

At the opposite end of the rink, Ben Kessel, another cheapskate on a blind date with Iris, the ice princess, is having a similarly miserable time. Elena, a hater of all things sports-related, inches out into the skating world butt-first and collides with Ben. After sharing their hilarious and horrifying dates-gone-wrong stories, the two disappear and make everything right again on the floor in the players’ dressing room. Almost everything. They forget to exchange numbers. Now these two cheapskates need to make the ultimate sacrifice: pay for a membership to the online dating site so they can track each other down. But is the possibility of love really worth the price of $24.95 per month? 

And now, my eight sentences! This exchange occurs shortly after the butt-first collision. 

Her butt made contact with the bench and she jerked upright. “Gah!”

His eyes widened in panic. “What’s wrong?”

“Coccyx,” she muttered, rubbing her backside.

He blushed profusely and she relished the rosy tinge that lit his smooth, kissable cheeks. “Excuse me?”

This time she chuckled. “Tailbone. I think I must have bruised it when I…butt-checked you.”

There we go! I think we're all set now. Be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors, and have yourselves a marvelous day!
