You guys waited up? Thanks! Better a little late than not at all, eh? 😀 Anyone else still working on last week’s Six Sentence Story – no worries. Link doesn’t close until this coming Tuesday 🙂

Dalida Caron, wrapped in a Morgan Lane lavender silk charmeuse cocoon, snuggled under 2 thermal blankets and a duvet, white pillows piled high around her on the antique mahogany 4 poster like marshmallows on a graham cracker; unable to keep herself from sailing down the slumber slide one more time, she reached over and hit the snooze button again, her sleep addled brain struggling to remember today was the first day at her new job, the first day at what she hoped was the beginning of an exhilarating new chapter in her life…

Tous les sièges dans leurs positions droites, maintenant!” / “All seats and tray tables in their upright positions, now! 

Fledgling flight attendant barely 6 hours, Dalida had no doubt today was not simply the first day of her new job, it was also going to be her last day, that is, if the plane pulled through these last squalls and landed safely, squalls by the way, not a single weather person had forecast for this morning’s 8:00 a.m. Charles de Gaulle / JFK run, light turbulence ma pied!

Chris Brentwood, a graduate of New York University (one of the best law schools on the East Coast) and one of Morris & McVeigh, LLP;s newest tax attorneys, finished his post workout coffee and was enjoying the last of a small basket of croissants and jam when the hotel phone began to ring; reaching over to answer, he smiled, as no doubt it was the front desk letting him know the limo was out front waiting to take him to Charles de Gaulle for the 8:00 am to New York – he just knew this was the beginning of an exhilarating new chapter in his life.

For the third time in less than 30 minutes, the plane lurched violently to the left, and Dalida, having already lost her questionable footing, went sprawling free-fall for what felt an eternity disguised as seconds, landing unceremoniously onto the lap of the very attractive man sitting in the aisle seat of Row 3;  tangled up momentarily, trying to disentangle themselves, the two locked eyes and smiled.

“Having a rough day?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to GirlieOnTheEdge.  Every Thursday I host the blog hop Six Sentence Stories. As the rules below indicate, the challenge is simple. But not always easy, lol. You are tasked to write a story (poetry also welcome!) in 6 Sentences. Pour moi, writing Six Sentence Stories has been an evolving process, a continuing challenge, an opportunity for me to improve my writing skills…. and! it’s a whole lot of fun! Which is what I hope this hop offers you as well 🙂 If you have a character that’s been bugging the heck out of you or you’ve just completed the latest chapter of a work in progress (wip) and want to give us a sampling, anything, then stop on by and link up a 6! I’ve got to run now, but I’ll read you all soon 😀

Rules of the hop:
Write 6 Sentences. No more. No less.
Use the current week’s prompt word.
Come back here on Thursday, link your post…
Spread the word and put in a good one to your fellow writers 🙂
