~~ I've moved forward a few lines. This is the afternoon after last week's dream ~~
After Hollie
parked her car in a nice shady spot, she and Alex grabbed their bags. They
spotted Ben coming towards them.
Hollie rolled
her eyes—he was wearing bright orange and white board shorts, his dark brown
AC/DC T-shirt, and well-worn sandals. She sometimes wondered how he could hold
a job as primary teacher, but the kids loved him.
“Hello, mister,”
Alex greeted him with a quick wave and a hint of flirt in her voice.
He acknowledged
the girls with kisses on their cheeks. “How’re things?”
“You’re early,
considering you’ve had to come all the way from Devonport.”
With a boyish
smile, he replied, “I stayed at Davo’s last night. I was supposed to stay at
Mum and Dad’s, but that last beer was just one too many.”
“Doesn’t sound
like you at all to have a beer too many.” Hollie handed him one of the bags for
the barbeque and noticed Alex staring at him. She waved a hand in front of her
face. “Hey, earth to Alex.”
Alex rolled her
eyes and quickly grabbed one of the bags.
Ben moved a bit
closer to Hollie. “Hey, just to let you know, Jeremy is here as well. He apologised
to Davo all week, and the old man finally gave in and let him come when he
promised to leave you be, or at least apologise to you,” he said quietly.
Hollie stood up
straight. “You’re kidding me.” With a few words, her anticipation for the party
dissolved in an instant. She swallowed her misery.

Thanks for that lovely comment, Joyce!
DeleteEnjoyed the scene, especially all the descriptions! And I'm sure we'll see interesting developments ahead with Jeremy present.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Veronica. Glad you liked it.
DeleteI like Ben. Great work on Hollie's reaction. I think I'd be tempted to tell Alex to call her when it was over and she'd come pick her up.
ReplyDeleteI liked "writing" Ben. I often wonder whether he should get his own story :-) Thanks PT.
DeleteSo much description, I love it. Really enjoyed this snippet.
ReplyDeleteWow ... thank you so much Cecilia. Glad you like it!
DeleteI think the kids love Ben because they can relate to him, or him to them. Very relaxed and carefree. Good descriptions.
ReplyDelete... so Australian I'd say :-) Thanks Chelle.
DeleteNice description. I think I'd like Ben.
ReplyDeleteHe is a bit of a dag, isn't he :-) Thanks Elaine.
DeleteDamn what does Jeremy wants now. He is such a pain!
