Six Sentence Sunday: Bad Sex Karma #8

Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday!

After getting dumped by her ex-boyfriend, Delia has moved on, and now she's reluctantly agreed to go on a date set up by her friends Brooke and Carly. They think it's a great idea, but Delia and her internal anxieties, the What Ifs, aren't so sure.

The What Ifs had been looking forward to ruining the evening, but I'd bribed them with the promise of a disaster movie marathon if they stayed home. To be honest, I was a little envious, since they could put their sweats on, grab a few pounds of chocolate, and hop into bed with a sexy book.

Now I was seriously thinking of calling in sick.

"Brooke, why did I tell you I’d go on this date?"

"Because it’ll be good for you," she answered.

"I thought you were talking about why I should make a mammogram appointment." 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend. I'm in denial about it marking the end of summer, though. Unless we can have another summer right after this one. . .

There is just the tiniest bit of difference between a mammogram and a date, although there could be similar levels of breast groping in both circumstances. LOL Hopefully the latter is more enjoyable than the former. Great six!

Sorry your summer is over but spring has just begun in Australia. Yippeee

[Donna Cummings]

Heather, you're too funny! LOL I love it.

I don't mind autumn showing up. It's actually one of my favorite seasons. It's just that winter is right after that, and it's so rude about never wanting to leave once it's here! Hope you have a lovely spring. :)

[Cara Bristol]

I sure do love your writing style. So witty.

[Ceri Hebert]

Cute and clever. I really enjoyed this!

[Donna Cummings]

Cara, thank you so much -- I'll remind myself of your kind words when I'm editing. :)

Ceri, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have a soft spot for Delia. LOL

[Eleri Stone]

You did a great job of portraying her anxiety. It feels very realistic to me.

[Elin Gregory]

Ewww, she really is anticipating excruciating embarrassment, isn't she. I just hope it's not as painful. :)

[Donna Cummings]

Eleri, thanks -- it's an agonizing moment for her, that's for sure. LOL

Elin, I'm not sure it's excruciating. . .and not really painful. But definitely memorable!

[Tonya Burrows]

Aww, I hope her date goes better than she plans!

[S. J. Maylee]

I'd be envious too, that night in sounds fabulous, says the old married woman :)

[Linda Morris]

Ew, if the date sounds as bad as a mammogram, I can understand why she doesn't want to go. Gave me a chuckle, as always!

[Carrie Crain]

Mammogram appointment. Snort! Chocolate and a sexy book doesn't sound too shabby though. LOL

[Virginia Kelly]

So when will this be for sale? I love it! My guaranteed laugh on Sunday.

Want more summer? Move south. Memorial Day is the end of the "season," but the heat and humidity continue ...

[Kate Meader]

The What Ifs? Love that! So much wit and humor here, Donna. Another winning six.

[Teresa Cypher]

Lol...love that last sentence, Donna! Nice snippet :-)

[Sassyspeaks.wordpress.com]

I need all the laughs I can get. And this six did the trrick - because it's good for you :D

[Monica Enderle Pierce]

I love the WhatIfs; they're a wonderful contrast to the seriousness of her emotions.

[Christine Warner]

You do such great dialogue! Always enjoy your six Donna :)

[Suzan Butler]

Very witty snippet, Donna. I love it!

[Frank Fisher]

I love the dilemma Delia is going through. You point out very well what girls typically do during that stage. Nicely done!

[Kate Warren]

If she'd rather have a mammogram she must be really dreading this date. LOL Great six, Donna!

[Mae Clair]

I always love the humor you inject into your stories. So 'real' and so clever. Another fabulous six showcasing your wonderful talent. Well done!

[Melissa MacKinnon]

Love your six! This is my first time visiting but I'm sure I'll be back! A great voice here.
