Twirl and Dip (WIP) Drake’s POV
Drake’s stomach rumbled and he cringed.
“Was that your stomach?” Rowan asked and her lips twitched.
“Afraid so. I haven’t eaten since breakfast. I can never eat before a gig.”
“I never could either,” Maverick said.
“I’ll fix some sandwiches. Do want something, too?” she asked Maverick.
“I can’t have a man eat alone.”
She grinned and shook her head.
(Finishing up the scene)
“Of course not.” She headed back to the kitchen.
“Thank you,” Drake called to her.
“No bother,” she shouted back. Maverick and Drake moved to one of the tables with their coffees. Once seated Drake took a welcome sip.
Possible Blurb:
Eastyn has her soda shop to run and specialty ice creams to create. Only the place is falling apart, and she may have a haunted jukebox that chooses songs to communicate. If things couldn’t get any more complicated, Drake, her ex-fiancé, returns home after five years on the road with his rock band, Never Mind the Damage.
Eastyn vows not to fall for Drake’s charms again, but when you have a lifetime of memories with the man, the heart seems not to care about pledges. Her haunted jukebox believes choosing the right song to twirl and dip to is the answer to everything. However, Eastyn isn’t convinced. She wants to know if Drake is home for good, or will he break her heart all over again?
It’s wonderful that even with his fame, he has a place to go back to where he can just be himself. Nice snippet!
Giving the famous man a flaw about food before concerts is both believable and helps to humanize Drake. Even some symphonic musicians have this problem.
Seems like he’s found a place where it’s quiet and fans aren’t going to trample each other or him.
he feels comfortable with his friends which is good. he can relax. nice snippet.
I think I’ll come join them for a sandwich. I just had a dreadful breakfast. That frozen egg product the food bank gave us isn’t good for anything but using in baking.
Nice little details to personalize the scene!
I like how Drake and Maverick share that weakness about eating before a show. Nice touch. 🙂
I enjoy the every day-ness of this scene, where he’s a big star kind of “on the run” from his job and life. Great snippet!
This seems like a very nice respite from his crazy life. And now I’m hungry.
You’re doing a great job of making him a relatable person.
Shows the “human” side of rock stars very nicely. Lots of performers can’t eat before a performance. It does humanize them. Great snippet!
I like that there’s more to him then the rock star persona. It’s more apparent when he’s able to relax with friends. Great snippet!
Now Im hungry. And that photo doesn’t help… Great snippet.
