TUESDAY TALES - STAIRS



Welcome! This week we continue with a short bit from Coach Bass's evolving story. 
********
Daisy trotted up the stairs, into the posh bathroom, and curled up while Jo soaked and scrubbed. She couldn’t figure out Coach Bass. 
There was chemistry, then he scared her, then he came to her rescue. Which man was the real Pete Sebastian? I’ve never met a man I couldn’t figure out. Gotta get his m.o. I’ll have him nailed in no time. Maybe he’s just a good guy with a bad temper? She shook her head.
Life had taught her there were no good guys. That’s why she was single. Prince Charming is a fairytale. He doesn’t exist. And that means Pete Sebastian, too. Keep on depending on yourself. You’ve never let you down yet. It’s safer. 
 She slipped naked between the sheets. Breeze from the bedroom window cooled the room. Daisy hopped up and curled up at the bottom of the bed, circling several times before finding just the right position to get comfortable. Jo loved that. It always made her chuckle.
She stared at the moon. Her body was tired, but her mind was alert. Pete Sebastian intrigued her and the challenge of the job scared her a little. I can do it. If I work hard enough, I can. I’ve been successful before and I will here. An even bigger success. I’ll be nationally known. Put the Kings on the map as the most advanced team in the league.

    Quite an interesting post. I suspect Coach Bass wiggles under her defenses before all is said and done. Those coaches can be mighty persuasive. ;)

      You might be right. But she'll give him a run for his money.

    Interesting conversation with herself. Great description of the dog. My dog used to do the same thing.

      Did you have a pug? Pugs circle before they do everything! They are very funny dogs.
