Lettuce Lips

Mr. Authoress and I were enjoying wine and chocolate-coated biscuits by candlelight on the screened in porch. Stirred, no doubt, by the sheer romance of the moment, he leaned close and kissed me.

"MMMMM. You smell like salad."

I pulled back, eyed him. "What?"

"You smell like salad." He kissed me again. "Your lips taste like lettuce."

And there you have it. I'm not going to write YA Fantasy anymore. I'm going to write romance novels. Because how I could live with myself without transcribing this great, real-life material into a story?

  1. Lettuce? LETTUCE? *is stunned*

    Man, you just can't fake a gem like that. Better get moving an a bodice-ripper book right away so you can use it...

  3. If you're moving into Romance stories, don't forget the heaving bosoms and bare chested pirates. Molten, velvet lips, too. And ribbons of pleasure always make things better.

  8. It ranks up there with the gift of supermarket vouchers for my Christmas gift. Slighlty better than the vacuum cleaner of the year before.

  9. Was it a Dyson? The women in the office talk about Dysons all the time. Maybe Mrs. Authoress should get one. Good idea.

  11. It was a Dyson. Telling me it was in my favourite colours didn't work so don't try it on your lovely wife, Mr Authoress. My husband still has the scar.
