Hellooooo! Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is feeling fine and dandy on this February morning. Speaking of fine and dandy things, I’ve got another snippet from Learning to Love to share with you, so without further ado, read on! 🙂
Continuing from where we left off…
Her hip pressed against his as she wiggled herself back against the lockers. He liked that he had a good six inches on her. Liked that he could smell her shampoo…Some kind of fruity concoction. Mango, or peach. He sniffed and caught a whiff of strawberry, too.
She shifted again, turning toward him with raised eyebrows. Had she said something?
Right on cue, she asked, “Did you hear what I said?”
“Uh….”
“Ah, so it’s your ears that need to be checked.”
Here’s the blurb:
Rebecca Ledgerwood is a physical education teacher who’s ready to invest some sweat equity into a lasting romance. On a whim, she has her palm read before summer vacation ends, and she’s told she’s an old soul who’ll find happiness with a younger man.
William Whitney leaves an unfulfilling career to pursue teaching and gets placed at Rebecca’s school for his physical education practicum. He’s desperate to make a difference, convinced that the choices he made in the past contributed to his younger sister’s death. Kendal High School is nothing like the prep school he attended as a teenager, but he’s determined to make the most of his time there, especially if it makes Rebecca notice him.
Though they come from vastly different backgrounds, there’s an undeniable chemistry that sparks between the two. They resist, as they must, until his practicum ends, but when he’s offered a teaching position at his former prep school, will he take the easy way out, or fight for what’s right in front of him?
Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors!
I had a very exciting finish to my week. First, I joined a bunch of friends at the 613 Casual Choir’s tribute to Queen night wherein I dressed as an actual queen. Beyoncé, eat your heart out. And just last night, I met up with a few of the same ladies and a whole host of other interesting people at The Conroy Pub for an always memorable night of karaoke. By the end of the night, I had my very own fan club! 😀 Well, guess what? I’m a big fan of YOU! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you next Sunday! xo
Award-winning romance author & PE teacher who plays sports, sings, juggles, dances, has a sneaker obsession, & lives on PB! 
Haha! Like she’s talking to one of her students. I like that she’s oblivious to what’s causing his hearing defect. lol Good writing, Jules! 🙂
That ‘teacher voice’ comes out at the most inopportune times. 😉 Thanks, Teresa! xo
I’m loving watching this romance develop between these two. He’s so struck by her I can almost see the tweety-birds and red hearts circling his head. Great eight!
Haha! I’m so glad to hear that, Dixie! You made my day! 😀
What a smart slap on the inquisitive nose. But I don’t think it’s going to discourage him in the least.
It’ll take quite a few more slaps than that! 😀 Thanks so much, Nancy!
Uh oh, he needs to be a little less distracted by how good she smells LOL. Loved the snippet, made me smile!
And your comment made ME smile! 🙂 Thanks, Veronica!
Yes, he is distracted and she seems oblivious of the reason.
Or perhaps she’s feigning oblivion. 😉 Thanks for stopping by, Aurora!
She clearly doesn’t realize the effect she has on him. But she will eventually, I imagine.
No doubt about that, Mr. Hoornaert! The Rebecca Effect is a powerful effect, indeed. 😉
Enjoyed his inner thoughts. 🙂 All his other senses were on high alert, how could he hear anything. lol
Your snippet made me smile. He is one distracted dude. Does he let her know what’s distracting him? Or try to be cool?
Why am I not surprised that you had your own fan club by the end of the night? Just as you deserve, Your Highness!
I love that Will is vaguely aware that he’s distracted, but that he doesn’t really want to fix the problem. I have a feeling he’s just going to become more distracted as the chapters continue!
This fellow is definitely smitten. Very nicely written!
