Into La-La Land

For Friday Fictioneers 100-Word Challenge 14 March 2014

Allison felt awkward as Jared lay beside her after friends left their room at the hotel. They were celebrating their high school graduation at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Amusement Park.
Jared whispered softly that it was time to take their relationship further. He kissed her and one thing led to another until it finally happened. Tears rolled down her eyes. “I’m so sorry,” he said, wiping them away gently.
“Jared, dear, where do we go from here?” Allison asked as she snuggled close to him. But there was no response. Jared was already off to la-la land, snoring deeply.

She should have had the conversation before…….!

plaridel | March 13, 2014 at 10:16 pm
gentlestitches:
that’s very true. then again, to get laid, a guy would always say whatever she wanted to hear.

That’s the way it goes, I guess…

sandra:
it pays not to give in too soon. once a guy gets what he wants, he falls asleep fast.

She’s definitely in la-la land if she thinks he’s interested in going anywhere other than where he is. All too real, Plaridel. Good job.

dear plaridel,
at least he didn’t light a cigarette afterward. jared’s mind is definitely between his legs.

Amy Reese | March 15, 2014 at 5:10 pm
I have a feeling it was a good thing she stopped him. He doesn’t seem too serious about her. Ha ha.
30.
plaridel | March 15, 2014 at 6:45 pm
amy:
actually, she didn’t. 😦 but you’re right about his true feelings for her.

patriciaruthsusan | March 16, 2014 at 12:10 pm
Well done. That’s not a happy ending; quite the contrary. But at least she didn’t kill him. There’s been a lot of that lately.
36.
plaridel | March 16, 2014 at 4:45 pm
patricia:
while asleep and totally exposed, she could have hit (cut) him where it hurt using a knife or a pair of scissors. 🙂
