#secret santa excerpt
Yeah that’s right, ya’ll get more excerpts of Secret Santa! Thank @ekinsellaauthor (who I love, seriously, she’s great and her WIP is the cutest shit on this planet omg seriously I can’t say that enough!!!) who tagged me!
My words were sweet, deep, and blue.
Sweet
Excerpt from Chapter One
“How the hell could he hurt me, or any of us for that matter? He’s in two of my classes, and is super nice to everyone.” Lyon looked more done than angry.
At this, Derek laughed. “He seduces guys, most of the ones I’ve talked to that have been with him don’t even like guys that way. Maybe he likes you, if you think he’s sweet.”
“Lyon, honey, you’re too good for someone like him,” Valeri said. I felt Gavin nudge my side, so I reached for Lyon.
Deep
Excerpt from Chapter Four
“Hey, so one of my friends works in the food court at the shopping center,” Krystal began. I raised a brow. “And she said that she saw you with Olmond Joy there on Saturday.” I bit the inside of my cheek, thinking of how to respond. “You two aren’t… Like, a thing, right?”
“I was just helping him with an assignment, nothing too deep,” I said. Krystal nodded.
“Well still, I worry you’re too kind for your own good, you and Lyon. Olmond will mess you both up if you get too close to him.”
“We’ll be alright, we’re all adults,” I said with a forced smile. Would she please drop it?
“He knows how to take advantage of people, he makes you think he’s sweet to get in your pants.”
“Krystal, no one is getting in my pants for a long time,” I sighed. “Besides, I’m more a believer that someone is genuine until they prove me wrong.” Krystal’s mouth formed a thin line, but she stayed quiet after that.
Blue
Excerpt from Chapter One
“This if off topic, but my dog is being dumb and you might get a laugh out of this:” I tapped on the attachment he sent me, only to watch a familiar massive ball of black fur to roll back and forth on his back, panting and barking. I started giggling at the video, watching it loop a couple of times before closing it.
“He’s cute! That did make me laugh,” I said.
“Blue never fails to make me laugh either,” he said.
“His name is Blue???”
“Yeah, it confuses people, so I named him Blue,” Olmond explained. “Besides, the name the shelter gave him was dumb. Seriously, who names a dog Leonard? X(“
“I don’t know, but that sounds dumb,” I agreed. After I was sure the Androgel dried down, I sent everyone a text saying I was heading to bed, and plugging in my phone before wrapping myself up in my sheets and closing my eyes, trying to imagine the best way for the Winter Festival to play out for me before I fell asleep.
I’m tagging @sapphicauthor,@squirrel-princess,@dancingdarklingwrites, and @solomonrobert. Your words are sleep, just, and the.
