We’re off to a great start in this second round of Build A Story With Bryan! Can’t wait to see where it goes this week.
The tale so far:
While the record changed, he noticed his right hand moving independent of where his brain had told it to go, instead of adding ice to her drink it was reaching for the light switch that had appeared where one hadn’t been before.
All he could see was the light switch case. There was not a switch to turn on or off. Yet as his hand came closer to the switchless case, the lights flickered like a strobe light in some old fashioned long forgotten disco hall. It was at that moment he could feel the hair on the back of his neck raise and the realization set in that he was not alone.
He hoped that the outdated wiring in the abandoned warehouse he called home was on the fritz again, but it was hard to convince himself that it wasn’t something more sinister. Strange things like this had been happening to him ever since he’d met Seren Grossmann for a drink at Nando’s last Tuesday.
He put the ice in her bowl, filled it with water and set it down. Angela was there immediately. She was thirsty. He watched her, but his thoughts returned…to last Tuesday.
What happens next is up to you…
The heady combination of the sent of Nando’s piri-piri wafting from the kitchen, the rioja in his glass and Seren’s smouldering eyes had nearly caused him to succumb to her charms, AGAIN! Why is it that he agrees to see her whenever she asks; despite what she did? He was only saved from her by the ringing of his mobile.
Hmm, a blocked number, he’d thought, and considered not answering, preferring to lose himself in those eyes.
“Did you bring it? ” she asked with a purr, caressing her glass stem with the innuendo of an ambulance siren. “And if you did… how much do you want for it?” Her mouth was all business even if her eyes wore dance shoes.
“Yeah I brought it.”
