Weekend Writing Warriors #129!

Hi, gang! Before I say anything else, I just wanted to let you know I made a little boo-boo last week. Some of you may have noticed that me and my bestie, Maggie Wells, end up on the WWW list side-by-side every week. That's because I always sign us both up myself...until last week, when I had the world's biggest mental block and forgot to add her to the list. And she had a pretty post all prepared and everything. So, to help relieve me of my guilt, be sure and visit her today, eh? lol. All right, now, time for more Adventures in Online Dating!

Here's the blurb: After too many failed relationships, too many shots of tequila, and too many not-so-gentle nudges from her best friend, Sydney Montrose joins an online dating site in hopes of finding THE ONE. During her adventures, she crosses paths with a professional gamer who lives with his parents, a sweet and sarcastic parking enforcement officer, a flirty barista, a mystery man, a touchy-feely former felon, and a clown. Which one will she choose? Well, that's all entirely up to you! :-D

And here's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off:

“I’m better at the actual dating itself.”
            “Are you?”
            He nodded. “Much better.” His lips closed around the rim of his mug, and hers tingled in jealousy. The man had an exceeding amount of confidence that would come across as arrogant on anyone else. On him it was just plain hot.
            “So if this were a date, if we were on a date right now, how would you, uh...seal the deal?”
            Garrett returned his mug to the table and dabbed his lips with a napkin. “If this were a date,” he began in a smooth, deliciously confident tone, “I’d tell you how sexy you look in that dress, that you have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen, and your smile, your laugh, your hair...that body...everything about you is perfect.

Whew. Is it getting hot in here or what? ;) Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors! 

Well, my friends, I'm gonna keep it short and sweet since I yapped your ears off already. I'm officially moving in six days! Eep! Pray for my sanity, peeps. Wishing you all a marvelous week ahead! :)

  1. At last we get to know more about the mysterious man on a pretend date and I like him.
    Moving is a pain but I wish you good weather and an easy time with a strong man helping to lift the boxes.

  2. I still maintain that Garrett is a little too good at this. But compliments like that delivered by a cute guy are always worth at least a listen!

    1. Lol, I appreciate your skepticism. One of these days you may change your mind. Or maybe not. ;) Thanks, Christina!

  3. I like that he goes straight for the truth no frills. youre perfect. the only thing that stood out and this is gonna sound silly but I don't know guys who dab their mouth drinking coffee. It just stood out as dainty versus the suave image I get from him. I say that as I'm off to grab starbucks and guzzle. LOL, maybe I just have no class :)

    1. Lol, you're right. It is a bit dainty. I may have to un-daint-ify it. ;) Thanks so much, Michelle!

  5. Best of luck with your move! He certainly took the upper hand away from her in just a few words :-)

  8. Fun! I like it! A professional gamer as in poker, or World of Warcraft?
