You can blame GeekChick12 for these. She has introduced me to the wonderful world of FlashFics of at TLS. The dealio is to use the prompt to write a story of 100 - 300 words! The prompts can be found on my Pinterest page - .com(slash)zmginger(slash)flasfics.
Skinny Dipping in September
Word Count: 298
I yanked the shirt over my head, allowing the midday breeze to kiss my skin. Edward's already ahead of me, trying to pull off his shorts while still running. He trips over the fabric before landing in a heap on the ground.
A loud laugh echos around us, bouncing off the surrounding trees.
"Come on, Cullen!" I yell as I dash past him.
I have the good sense to stop to remove my own bottoms, leaving me in my underwear, my shoes left somewhere near the car. I take off at full pelt again.
"Jesus, Bella, slow down!"
Concern colors his voice, but I'm too free to pay much heed. We've been here thousand of times before; I know the land well.
Not even slowing down, I hurl myself over the small outcrop and down into the deep pool below. I surface laughing as the coldish water stings my skin. Looking up, Edward is staring down at me. Such a worry wort.
Without a second thought, he joins me, dragging me down for an under the water for a kiss that makes my body hunger. We horse around, enjoying the freedom to just be for a while. Our play turns heated, hands pulling each other closer. Our love is clumsy and awkward in the water, but it's all us.
Eventually, we make our way back to the car as the day begins to wane. I can't resist straddling Edward as he sits in the passenger seat tying his shoes.
Despite earlier, our kisses grow more passionate, more frantic. His cell phone ringing interrupts us. I groan.
"That was mom. The kids are ready."
I go to climb off him, but he holds me still for a second.
"Promise me it will always be like this," he whispers.
"Always."
Wow, this 300 words malarkey is way harder than it sounds! What do you think? Leave me a line or two and tell me about it.
