Wolf’s Bane UNCOMICAL COMEDY OF ERRORS
Diwana’s face was frozen into this shocked and puzzled expression and it took her a while to actually find her voice to answer the older woman’s question.“What do you mean, Pat? I don’t understand…”“I mean, you and him… are you like… a couple?”“WHAT?! Oh nonononononono… Oh my gosh, we can’t possibly… We’re just landlady and house boarder… Besides, he and I just met and… he knows very little about me… And I know almost nothing about him… Not that THAT matters because I feel he’s very nice… I mean, he’s a nice man… I mean, he’s ok... as a renter… Even as a friend but nooo… He can’t possibly be interested in me… Patricia, just look at him… He probably has so many… women… in the city… or have someone special… already… But not me… definitely… not… me…”More than hearing what Diwana was babbling about - which eventually turned into a whisper near the end - Pat was more interested in watching the young widow’s face and listening to her tone, pitch, and volume as she gave her answer. And
Wolf’s Bane MORE UNCOMICAL COMEDY OF ERRORS
“Yes, and I’m sure whoever your future wife would be will have to learn how to court a man just so she can end up with you,” cut in Pat, as she brought the glass of water to Diwana, who was now sitting up against the bed’s metal headboard and eating the small hard biscuits, one by one. “Otherwise, you might end up being single for the rest of your life.”“I actually find it hard to believe that a good-looking, courteous, and intelligent young man like you would end up being unmarried,” said Diwana with a giggle. “Although, no, just to clarify, I’m not interested in you, no offense intended.”“Oh, such a shame, Miss Diwa. I happen to believe, along with many other people in this company, that whoever will marry you eventually would be a very lucky man.”“What?! You actually talk about me here at the lumberyard?”“Of course, and there is always that little guessing game of ours at who the lucky man might be. And we don’t seem to have any real contenders until lately…”“H-huh? You must b
Wolf’s Bane FOLLOWING THE CHARMER’S PATH
“I knew thet guy had somethin’ to hide. Fer shure, the minute I saw him with that handsome charmin’ smile o’ his, I swear he’s probably one of them fraudsters, swindlers, or con artist types that probably preyed on rich old ladies after givin’ them a good time on their backsides. He’s jus’ too nice and clean to be a legit biker, that’s fer damn shure…”Myron could hear the diner owner/cashier yapping, as he continued to look through the videos on the establishment’s computer which was hidden in the smallest back room of the kitchen area, but he wasn’t really listening. Sure, he did pay complete attention when the guy was talking about what happened when The Left Hand decided to stop over and have a meal in their place. But after finding out that their CCTV system recorded the incident, he had already focused on that instead.Good thing The Detective had gotten the “I look like I’m paying attention even if I’m really not and you won’t even realize it since I’m so good at pretending” fa
Wolf’s Bane FOLLOWING THE CHARMER’S PATH AGAIN
“I’m ok with just soup and a salad, Miss. But thank you very much for letting me know about the specials offered here. That was really nice of you,” the good-looking former assassin said with a very sweet and charming smile. Which, unknown to him, was turning the pretty waitresses’ knees to jelly. “Oh… Are you sure? You look pretty tired and hungry right now so I just think you might need something more than just soup and salad.” “Really now, and what would you like to offer me that you haven’t already told me?” “Well, I can go to the back of the Diner and see what I can give you… That is, if you can wait…” “Hmmm… that’s very tempting. But I hope what you have would be a very… hot meal…” “They say I make a pretty good chicken… or beefcake…” “You don’t say… I think I’m starting to get really hungry now…” The blond girl with the pale pinkish skin and freckles was indeed very nice, and he wasn’t just thinking about her personality. Back then at the packhouse, he was never really th
Wolf’s Bane DAMNED EITHER WAY
“Hello Miss, we were requested by Officer Gabrielle to reheat his coffee and bring it to him. Is this his mug?”“Oh yes, it is. That’s so nice of you,” the girly lady cheerily said. “Do you think I could be the one to bring it to him once it’s ready?”“Sorry, Miss... The boss said no outsiders are allowed in there. It just so happens that Sir Gabrielle is a cop so our boss had to comply with his requests.“Ohhhh… ok, I understand. But can I give the detective a little note with his coffee?”The waitress, who happened to be Daisy, couldn’t help but smile a little at the romantic gesture of the cop’s girlfriend. Of course, the lady could easily just send her man a text message but he probably wouldn’t notice that until after he’s done watching the video. Also, you have to admit that a note had a more personal touch.And upon seeing the small diamond on Raquel’s ring finger, she felt a little pang of envy, not because of the man - since she’s really not into boyish-looking males - But be
Wolf’s Bane DAMNED EITHER WAY THE SEQUEL
“Sorry for my delayed reply, I had to make an order for him since he’s so busy at the moment. I’ll give you my report once I’m in a more private place, most probably when he’s asleep. But yes, like I said before, we have found some more evidence that the Right Hand is still alive. Just wait for his report as well since I’m unaware of what he’s found out right now,” she typed on her mobile, then pressed the “Send” icon. It took a while for her sponsor’s reply to push through so she had to use her fingerprint to remove her cellphone’s screensaver, which was a fun, loving and almost indecent photo of her and Myron inside a phone booth, just to see the message. “No need to report, since it might overlap with his. I’ll call you again tomorrow instead. Goodbye, for now,’ the sent text read. “How I wish it was a goodbye forever. I would be so lucky if that actually happened,” murmured the girly girl dejectedly to herself. “Damn it, the more I hide from him, the more I’m afraid he’ll find o
Wolf’s Bane KEEP CALM AND STAY SMILLING
At this point, the lumberyard owner stopped completely so he could face his employee, and they just so happened to stop right in front of the clinic’s door.“WHAT?! What the hell you guys are talking about?! Competition?! She doesn’t even like me that way!”Good thing there were no people around on the second floor who would hear Jack yelling since lunchtime had already ended and everyone was busy with tasks outside the office building. Well, everyone except the ones that were in the clinic, who didn’t seem interested in what their superior was flustered over at the moment.Except, of course, Sam...“Calm down, boss. People might hear… But I gotta admit, we have kinda wondered if she did like you that way, would Max go warn you to stay away from her the same way he’s done with everyone who showed even a bit of interest in her?”“Oh, I’d like to see him try,” hissed Jack. “I know he did the same to Eron since I actually saw them talking about it the first time they met.”“Yeah, that st
Wolf’s Bane KEEP CALM AND STAY SMILLING AGAIN
It seemed the longer and the closer he was to her, the more intense and frequent her psychic powers were becoming. Or could it be that because he’s her mate he could feel her skills more than others, and it may even be that the more they became familiar with each other, the stronger her abilities were becoming?And he didn’t know if this was a good or a bad thing…“It’s nothing, Eron...” the confused and suffering woman mumbled as she kept avoiding his stare, afraid of hearing what his eyes were saying. “You shouldn’t be worrying about me.”“Heh, I can’t exactly do that, Diwa. People will be blaming me for not taking care of you and they’ll say it’s my fault they don’t have any delicious food served to them for their lunch and breaks. And I don’t have an excuse, since I live in your house now and even walk with you to work. Yep, they’ll have my hide, for sure.”The chuckle in his voice touched the young widow’s aching heart with a bit of warmth that was so unexpected, that she couldn’
