Six Sentence Sunday: Bad Sex Karma #2

Another Six Sentence Sunday--no wonder it's my favorite day of the week!

I've included another snippet from Bad Sex Karma, where the heroine Delia has just been dumped by her boyfriend at their anniversary dinner. She's in the bathroom, trying to figure out what to do next:

Unfortunately for me, I still loved the man who had just crushed my heart and tossed it to the ground. It would be so much easier if I could hate him, but I hadn't had time to make the switch. Bradley had gotten a headstart and was raring to move forward, while I was still in the warming-up phase known as "breakup foreplay".

I could just sit here in the bathroom for a while longer, nursing my broken heart out of the sight of all those prying eyes in the restaurant. If I went back to the table now, my reddened eyes would give away my distress, although I could say I was suffering from allergies.

Allergies to assholes.

Thanks for stopping by each week, and for all your lovely comments. I really appreciate them, and I look forward to reading your six sentences every Sunday.

Sadly assholes are so often very, very attractive.

Thanks, Heather!

Lisa, why is that? LOL We need to change that. :)

LOL I think I'm allergic to assholes too! Awesome six.

Don't we all have that allergy? ROFL!

So true...that's how breakups go. The "breaker" gets his or her ducks lined up and THEN pulls the rug out from under the "breakee." Hey two cliches in one sentence! I'm proud of that one.

Tonya and Kate, they need to make some kind of medicine for that, don't they? LOL

Cara, that was awesome! I love the thought of ducks flying thru the air when the rug gets yanked. :)

Love that last line! With an attitude like that, Delia won't have any problem making the switch. Nice job.

Great description of her turmoil right now-- it's so true! Poor thing! And loved the last line!

I got a real feel for her attitude in this snippet, Donna. Great six! :)

Posted by: Joya Fields | July 15, 2012 at 10:18 AM

I feel so awful for her. And Bradley needs to be strung up by thumbscrews! She definitely got the last line right. Great six, Donna :)

So much to love here: "breakup foreplay" and "allergies to assholes" are classic! Great six, Donna.

Posted by: Kate Meader | July 15, 2012 at 11:26 AM

Some great lines in here! Enjoyed!

Posted by: Laura Kaye | July 15, 2012 at 01:31 PM

""Allergies to assholes." OMG! I love that line. I have a real good sense on her attitude and feelings toward this man.

Allergies to assholes... I didn't even know that was a condition. I'll have to update my medical records. Fab six, Donna!

Posted by: Jenny Hickman | July 15, 2012 at 02:28 PM

Allergies to assholes, yes, I've had those, and Claritin does not help. Great six! I laughed out loud.

Love this! "It would be so much easier if I could hate him, but I hadn't had time to make the switch." Oh, yes the switch. And the last line. :-) Great six.
