Hope you’ve had a wonderful day, so far. 🙂
Here’s a snippet from “Unexpected Journey” published by MLR Press. John (first person) is drunk and a tad…amorous.

“Do you know you’re beautiful?” I said, my words slurring. I reached out to touch his nose and almost poked him in the eye. “I want to kiss you all the time.”
Hollis raised an eyebrow. “That so? You know you’re tipsy, right?”
“Yeah, I gueth, uh, guess so.” I was acting like a lovesick fool, but I couldn’t help it. “Do you have a-a boyfriend?”
“Not at the moment.” He smiled. “Are you applying for the position?”
“I wish I could, b-but I’m justh-just this old guy with no job. I have nothing to o-offer.” And then I belched, to seal the deal.
Classy.

Poor tipsy guy (but this is very amusing)

Hahahaha! Oh, dear. Probably best not to “apply for the position” while drunk.
Agreed 🙂
LMAO definitely sexy. 😀 Great snippet, JD.
