Setup for this snippet: WIP from Heart and Soul. This is a snippet from my new ‘rock star romance’ that I’m working on. It’s in the very early stages.
Last week : Maverick says goodnight with a quick look back to her before he enters his place. Her stomach fluttered as if some kind of winged insects had taken up residence there. A seconds later, he disappeared behind his door.
Not exactly what she was hoping he’d ask. 🙂
This is Rowan’s POV.
***
For a moment she wondered if his apartment would be neat and in order or if it would be a disastrous mess with things thrown in careless disregard. She kind of hoped for the latter. The man had to have flaws. The soft click of a lock being engaged brought her back to the present.
She went back inside her place only to retrieve her car keys before heading downstairs and to her vehicle parked at the curb near the coffee shop. Opening her trunk, she retrieved a suitcase, which held her toiletry bag and few clothes, then reached for her laptop bag next. She’d come back for the rest of her things in the morning. She secured the trunk and glanced toward the apartment. Her gaze landed on the window that would be Maverick’s place. For a moment she thought she saw the curtains flutter as if he were standing there…watching her.

Love to hear your feed back. 🙂
About Heart and Soul…
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn’t be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?

Heh, he’s more than just a little interested. Good snippet, Karen. I think “toiletry” should be “toiletries”, unless it’s missing the word “bag” after it. 🙂
Thank you for the catch. I was trying to tweak it as I was posting. It should read ‘toiletry bag’.
I like this so much. You paint a thorough picture. Very intriguing.
My best to you, Karen

Charmaine,
Thank you. So glad you stopped by.
It’ll be interesting to see how she reacts to him watching her.
Ed,
It is curious.
Really enjoyed this snippet and the story sounds intriguing!

Oh they are SO intrigued by each other LOL. As always with your stories, I’m really enjoying the snippets, the slow burn, the details…great stuff!
Veronica,
So glad you’re enjoying the snippets. 🙂
Didn’t he offer to help with her luggage? It would give him an excuse to come out.
Aurora,
Oh but he did offer in one of the previous snippets. She declined. She had her reasons. 🙂
Niiice! Plus, I LOVE your new banner (sorry if you’ve had it for awhile- this is the 1st I’ve seen it).
Karysa,
So glad you like the website’s new look. I’ve been slowly updating everything.
Glad you enjoyed the snippet too.
Or is it just her wishful thinking?Actually I doubt that, what an intriguing snippet!
Hywela,
Probably not just wishful thinking. 🙂
Your website looks different. I like it.
Heart and Soul is coming along. Good romantic tension starting to build. 🙂
Teresa,

Great imagery in this scene. And so beautifully written. Well done!
Christiane,
Thank you so much.
As long as he doesn’t watch in a creepy way, I think he should do whatever he wants! 😉
More tension between them. Good job.
Hm, I’ll bet he’s as fascinated by her as she is by him!
Christina,
He just might be.
I’m sure he has some flaws, and that she’ll discover them soon enough!
Caitlin,
Of course he does. 🙂
So last week he looked back, this week he’s having a sneaky peak from the window … he’s so interested 🙂 Great snippet!
