I’ve been after Alpha Man to finish a set of stairs in our house for . . . well, for what feels like forever. Since work has slowed down considerably for him, he finally got to it this week. This involved cutting the strips of wood, coming in and out of the house to measure each one, traipsing sawdust in throughout, along with the dirt from the dogs who follow his every move.
Yesterday when my scene wasn’t going along right, I sat on the top step to keep Alpha Man company. The top step isn’t really a step, it’s the wood flooring on the second floor, so I was out of the way. We teased and annoyed each other for awhile and then after him warning me that he was going to start rolling the sealant into the wood, I went back to work.
Several hours later, I was back. Another scene wasn’t working. I sank to the top step and watched him, noticing he was about 2/3 done. I was jealous, wishing I was 2/3 done with MY work. Alpha Man looked up and just stared at me. “Do you remember what I said about the sealant?” he finally asked.
Uh oh. “Yeah. You said you were going to start rolling. From that step down, right?” I asked, pointing to the step right below me.
He slowly shook his head, his eyes lighting with both frustration and laughter.
Dammit. I stood up, and sure enough, I’d left a nice . . . impression.
“Nice ass,” he said with a sigh. “Good thing, too, since everyone’s going to be able to see the imprint every time they walk up and down.”
He has to sand it out and start over. And if he doesn’t, then no one can come to my house ever again.

I agree with Nina – why don’t we get to see that picture???
And hey, if Alpha Man thinks you have a nice ass, you never have to worry about giving up those cookies you kinda like. Have another Oreo *g*

:rotfl: Thanks for the laugh Jill. I’m with Stacy, if Alpha Man likes your ass then you never have to give up your cookies.

Um Jill do you realize that the fact he was amused instead of mad means he knows you extremly well. Next time he will have to make a sign, “Don’t sit here”.

That’s too funny. I’m glad Alpha Man was able to deal with it with some humor along with the frustration.

The man said you have “a nice ass”. Hang onto that!
Hope after you left an impression the scene came together. :yes:

I think Alpha Man wanted you to leave that ‘impression’! :wigglebrow:

If he erased the imprint, I think you owe him one :rotfl:

Thanks for the giggle today Jill!

Ha, that’s funny. You should’ve told him that he could keep the step for himself if you get the “tool draw” to yourself! :yes:

Jill,
I think you hit it out of the park with Instant Attraction. It is my favorite by you yet, and easily rivals my other favorite author. Good freakin’ job!
