Rainbow Snippets May 7th-8th
An unedited snippet from a manuscript we are working on.
Set in Victorian England.
Jacob Doone visits London in search of his twin brother. His only lead, a flyer advertising a production of, Dr Faustus, at the Regents Theatre. On the back his brother had penned. Must see! M, is simply outstanding. Love J.
M, turns out to be Mephistopheles. Played by the enigmatic, Christian DeLaCroix.
A nervous Jacob imbibes a whole bottle of champagne while waiting for Christian.
Beautiful Deception.
“Woops.” Jacob giggled as he lost his balance. The next thing he knew everything was upside down. For some unknown reason he found it even more amusing.
“Behave,” Christian stated sternly, then followed his words with a stinging slap to Jacob’s backside.
Jacob clapped a hand to his mouth. The world righted itself when Christian gently deposited him on a stuffed chair. He sat for a few moments, then closed his eyes praying the room would stop spinning. Unfortunately it only made it worse.
Fun scene! That's going to be an interesting relationship dynamic. :-)
ReplyDeletePoor Jacob has a hangover to look forward to, not to mention when he thinks back on what he did. Thank you
DeleteUh oh! I sense that bottle of champagne was a really, really bad idea.
ReplyDeleteIt usually is, lol. Thank you
DeleteIntriguing scene!
ReplyDeleteVery. Thanks for checking in
DeleteOh, dear. Well, at least he's a happy drunk... (I love the bit about the room spinning.)
ReplyDeleteThe spinning room, I think anyone who has had a little too much to drink knows the feeling. Thanks for your comment
DeleteOh dear, he needs plenty of water and some strong coffee!
ReplyDeleteCoffee is a great cure. Thanks for reading
DeleteGot to watch that champagne.
ReplyDeleteTrouble in a bottle, but it's sooo good
DeleteI think he is good at behaving ;)
ReplyDeleteVery well behaved, lol. Thanks so much
