While Delia is trying to convince her friends Brooke and Carly that it's dangerous for men to date her, thanks to the Bad Sex Karma, they are trying to find some way to restore Delia's confidence so that she will want to date.
In this snippet, Brooke has insisted they take their daily walk at the local college, where the lacrosse players are having their practice:
Thanks for stopping by on this Six Sentence Sunday. I'm looking forward to reading everyone's posts today!I peeled off my sweatshirt, keeping a hand on the shirt underneath so I wouldn't get arrested for flashing the young men who would be financing my Social Security checks one day. My ponytail holder got caught, so I yanked it out, and gave my hair one of those sexy swings back and forth to fluff it up.
I heard a whistle, and nearly smacked Brooke—until I realized it was coming from an adorable, sexy young man on the grass in front of us. When he said, "You're hot", I laughed, and then blew a little kiss his direction.
Next thing I knew he was on the ground, under a pile of his teammates, who'd plowed into the back of him when he'd stopped to admire me.
"Now do you believe me?" I asked my friends, but they were too busy waving their hands at me in an unmistakable "we're not worthy" fashion.
Oh dear. She may have a point about her luck with men running out. Great six. :)

LOL! Fun on so many levels, like all of your writing! Totally could picture the poor guy getting creamed due to his distraction and the girls bowing to her. All the little details... Awesome 6!
