Welcome to Rainbow Snippets weekend!

This will be my last snippet from Lud – it’s a little further on in the story, and Lud is doing something odd when Deacon gets home one morning. A bit longer than six sentences, but I hope you enjoy it! 🙂

—————————————————————————————

When I unlocked the door at eleven o’clock, drop-dead tired, the smell of Clorox halted me in my tracks, as did the sight of my roommate vacuuming the carpet in the living room, still wearing the clothes from the night before.

Not believing my eyes, I walked toward Lud and stood in the way of the Hoover. He jumped a little, then turned off the vacuum cleaner, scowling.

“Took you long enough to get home,” was the first thing out of his mouth.

Wow. “Excuse me?”

“Why the fuck are you working sixteen-hour days?” he retorted as he rolled up the cord. “You trying to die early or something?”

“Why are you leaving fifty-dollar tips and acting like someone I don’t know?” I snapped back.

Lud snorted. “There’s a lot you don’t know about me.”

“You’ve said that before.” I yawned widely and decided now was not the time to argue. I was too tired. “Whatever. Thanks for cleaning up the place, even if it’s just the once. I’ll—”

Another yawned cracked my face and I gave up talking. I thought I heard him call out to me, but my ears were buzzing from exhaustion and I just wanted my bed.

Welcome to Rainbow Snippets weekend!

I bought a mattress yesterday because my husband is a princess (and the pea), so we needed a new one. 🙂 Ah well…

Lud has finished his meal and brings the dishes over to Deacon (who is in the first person)…

—————————————————————————————

“You could have left all that on the table,” I said as Lud set everything in front of me.

“Didn’t want to give you the extra work,” he replied, grinning.

“If only you would remember that in our apartment,” I snapped, and began mixing iced tea, lemonade, and fruit punch for the juice machine. It was disconcerting to have his gaze on me. I could see him in the large mirror on the wall.

Lud laughed. “You wound me. Maybe I leave all the cleaning to you because you’re so good at it. And you’re so lovely with your jockstrap in a twist.”

Welcome to Rainbow Snippets weekend! Have you had a wonderful week? I hope so. 🙂

Lud eats with his mouth closed…

—————————————————————————————

“Well, thanks again for stepping in. I’ll call the cops and have these idiots taken care of. I can handle things from here. I’m sure you have places to be.”

“Why do you think I’m leaving?” Lud said. “I’m hungry.”

I frowned. “Um…okay.”

I rang the police, and in a little while, when Dumb, Dumber, and Son on my floor were just coming to, the law showed up and hauled them away. Lud was there through all this, in a corner booth, finishing off his scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, sausage, and coffee that I’d prepared for him. He even ate with his mouth closed, and didn’t slurp his hot drink. What was the world coming to?
