100 Words on Saturday – Week 11: Write exactly 100 words based on the picture prompt…
I blamed the sangria.
I needed to blame something tangible rather than fate or a connection written in the stars.
Could two strangers be drawn together by the mere tug of planets? I would like to believe so, but I blamed the sangria. And the heady smell of his cologne mixed with aromas of a faraway land. Exotic and different.
I felt different.
Ignoring the attraction, we made small talk, the same in any language.
Could he hear my heartbeat? Could he read my thoughts?
As he pulled me into the doorway, I thought so.
Still I blamed the sangria.
Tantalizing story…I think I’d thank the sangria! LOL
haha Loy!
Great little story that pulls us in. Now you need to continue it as you’ve grabbed me and I need to know more about the sangria sipping couple!
Thanks Cate!
Nothing more was said for the next two hours.
It must have been the sangria and the heat! Frankly, I would use any excuse to get into that house. 😉
I’m with Loy on this one – I’d thank the sangria!
This is very well written. I love the simple theme that’s repeated. I also like the way you used multiple senses to make the scene come alive. The mention of scents and the heart beat as well as the wonderfully specific word choices make this a masterpiece. Or was it just the sangria?

Very well done flash fic. It leads us just far enough to allow our own imaginations to finish the story. Excellent job.
Thank you Angela!
Love it. How do I link to this blog hop or challenge? Love to take part too. Thanks.
Mary, my friend Corinne Rodrigues hosts 100 Words on Saturday at her blog Everyday Gyaan http://everydaygyaan.com. I find that I look forward to this as much as any writing prompt! You should definitely link up.
This past week, she took a break from it but was using this picture for a different post challenge. I decided to go ahead and use it for 100 words. T.
