Today's six is more from my recently contracted novella Last Friday Night. Last week, we met Tyler and everyone had their own opinions about him. Now, let's see what Jessie, my other hero, thought.
Jessie didn’t know what to think of
Tyler. There was something about the overgrown man that intrigued him, but he
found himself irritated just as much as he was intrigued. The two of them had
finished up their business relatively quickly and Jessie had offered to take
Tyler home, but Tyler had refused. At first, Jessie had been taken aback; he
wasn’t used to people turning down good-natured offers. He wondered if it had
something to do with the funny looks Tyler had been shooting him the entire
time they’d been in the cafe, but then as he was leaving, he saw Tyler sidle up
to the waitress who’d served them and things became a little clearer.
But even now as he sat in his car atop the hill overlooking the ruins of what was so close to being his new home, he didn’t know what to make of the other man.

Hmm! Intriguing, l don't know what to make of him either! Great six!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love a good post-sex confusion scene! Especially when there may be a huge, conflicted, heteroflexible dude involved. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love it when characters are hard to figure out. Aren't people? Great six!
ReplyDeleteOhh What is going on with Tyler and Jessie? ... An intriguing snippet and I want MORE! More I say.
ReplyDeleteLove the fact that Tyler is so complicated and Jessie can't figure him out. Lot's of good stuff in your six!
ReplyDeleteI like the balance between what you reveal here, emotionally, and what you hide!
ReplyDeleteInteresting characters. What IS their story?
ReplyDeleteIntriguing! What the heck happened to his house?! Great six. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the confusion on his part. It helps to build the tension. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat six! I'm loving how you're presenting the characters so far.
ReplyDeleteNice. You've left me wondering about both of these characters.
ReplyDeleteI guess he thinks he doesn't know what to think! Enjoyed your six.
ReplyDeleteLoved the six Brien! :D
ReplyDeleteIntriguing. Definitely makes me wonder what is going on with these two characters.
ReplyDeleteGreat six! I have a feeling Tyler is trying too hard to appear DIS-interested. Sure hope Jesse figures that overgrown man out!!!
ReplyDeleteI think what's interesting is how much time and effort Jessie is putting into the Tyler puzzle.
ReplyDeleteI so want to know more.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Heteroflexible. That's a new one.
ReplyDeleteI like the tension and confusion you're creating. You know how to make people want to stick around!
