That got his attention alright, and when his head snapped up, she lobbed another marshmallow at him. This time, it hit its mark....
“You really don't want to keep doing that,” he said.
“Oh yeah?” She said, chin lifted high, as she snagged another marshmallow and pelted it at him. Bonk. She grabbed a fistful and whirled them at him, marshmallows bouncing over the stairs and floor, as he continued to come closer and finally, when he came close enough to grab her, she tossed the whole bag at his head.
Whack! He shook his head, and picked her up, his strong hands easily mastering her as he flipped her over his lap. “I told you not to do that,” he said...

Begin Again due out this week!
Lol, at least she's throwing something soft! I have a feeling what he has in mind for her isn't so soft, though. Poor Meredith.
ReplyDeleteI think it's exactly what she wants though! lol
DeleteYeah, I mean he knew she was only playing so seems to me his retaliation would be in kind, even though she went against his order to stop. Some guys don't have a sense of humor. Then again, who knows what happened next. Sometimes the six to eight sentence rule simply isn't fair.
ReplyDeleteThe eight sentences is the hardest part!
DeleteHi Jane, nice snippet, looking forward to reading your book
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
Thank you, Jan! I'm getting excited. I really appreciate your encouragement!
DeleteI could say it's a waste of marshmallows, but she's obviously making a point and so he is!
ReplyDeleteLOL! A worthwhile investment, then? ;)
DeleteI'm with Jaye, it seems a pity to waste a perfectly good marshmallow, though she might end up thinking they were sacrificed to a greater good
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need to spend a little to earn a little. ;)
DeleteIt's not a waste - for what she's about to get out of it I think a pack of marshmallows is completely worth it.
ReplyDeleteWhat we wouldn't do for a little attention!!
DeleteI love the way he draws a line and she steps right over it! I was right in her shoes. Can't wait to read the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Libby!
DeleteI wish someone would pelt me with marshmallows - I love them. Now, I can't help but wonder what the consequences for marshmallow misbehaviour are LOL....
ReplyDeleteLmao! Keep the whipped cream. Christina wants marshmallows! I think the consequences should be a good roasting. :p
DeleteOh boy, she's playing with fire throwing things at him. I have a feeling she knew exactly what she was doing. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNot accidental!
DeleteAnd thank you!
Oh, what is it about the phrase "flipped her over his lap"? Very, very hot. Looks like I have another book to add to my "To Read" list. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteBonk! I imagined it bouncing off his nose LOL I do this with my husband and his rolled socks, haha. He finds it funny at first. Great scene.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Too funny, Maddie. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
