Teaser #11
"Are you enjoying yourself, Emmett?" she yelled. There was a loud yelp and the sound of feet slapping on the hardwood.
"And how did you know he was there exactly?" Rosalie asked, her eyebrow raised in a questioning manner.
"Too many sleepovers as a young girl. He always wants to know what we're talking about. He was convinced that Bella and I secretly made out and had pillow fights in our panties every time. I would wait until Bella went to use my bathroom to get ready to call him out on it." Alice shrugged and opened the door.
"I always wondered why you were yelling strange things while I was in there..." I trailed off before making my way out to the kitchen.
“You were in an accident. You must not have heard the sirens and we were going too fast. You were hit by an ambulance going fifty-five miles an hour,” he said with a look of solemnity mixed with guilt.“I was what? I got in an accident--with an ambulance?” I sat there shocked at how only such a thing could happen to me. “I don't know how I do it. I manage to have things that are seemingly impossible or so rare that they don't matter always happen to me.”“So, you're saying this kind of thing happens a lot?” he asked utterly confused but slightly amused.“Yes, actually,” I said matter-of factly, trying to look defiant.
"Do you remember the baby shower my mom had when she was getting ready to have Jasper?" he asked.
She looked up at him wondering where the topic was heading.
"Yes, I was 13 and getting ready to graduate 8th grade then. Why?" Her eyebrows furrowed together while she tried to think of any connection that could be made.
"Your mom had an incident there, too. She fell down and went to the hospital just like today," he said softly.
"I'm sorry but I'm not seeing how this conn--" she started to say, trying to mask her annoyance at his beating around the bush.
"My point is, she was able to turn things around then and she will again. She went into remission for 3 whole years. Shouldn't that give you some kind of hope? Her remission periods keep getting longer and--""And the cancer keeps coming back stronger," she finished.
I know, I know. Late. I'm terrible. And on top of being late, I also don't have teasers for my two main stories because I've been so caught up with finals and work, but I do have two new teasers for the pieces I am offering for the Nashville piece, so shall we go onward to the teasing?

Bella wandered through the field as she did every day on her way home from school. She wasn't normally a fan of routine, but it seemed to be something she fell into easily. This particular routine was one she was okay with. Passing through the field of blossoming tulips always made even her worst day seem better, brighter, and today was a day that needed it.

All right, I hope these made up for things a little. Remember, you just need to donate $5 minimum to any of the accepted charities, send your receipt in as proof, and you can get these and several other authors' offerings in one big ebook. Let me know what you think! :D
It's that time again for the teasing. Things are a bit different this time, but you'll already have known that would be the case, if you read my previous post.
Because I am taking part in Fics for Nashville, I am giving you teasers from both pieces I will be offering as an incentive for you to donate to the cause. I have also been writing fairly often for The Art of Online Dating Ch. 17 (hopefully posting before the end of this month), so there will be a teaser for that as well. You guys get three different teasers today! One is a picture and two are written. For the written ones, please remember that these are unbeta'd pieces and that they are not guaranteed to make it to the final cut. Please excuse grammar and spelling mistakes.

"Besides how could you ever maim my beautiful self? What would you do without me to drool over?" he chuckled before yanking me to lay on top of him.
"Oh, well aren't you Mr. Cockypants tonight." I pushed myself up using his chest, so that I was sitting in a straddle over him.
"Why yes, yes I am." He winked at me and placed his hands on my hips, his fingertips grazing the exposed skin between my shirt and the waistband of my pants.

Prompt 1: Tulips
Alright, there are your teasers. Since there is still time before these compilations go out to donors for Fics for Nash, I may post more teasers for the two pieces being offered. Hopefully, this convinces you to possibly donate to the cause. I hope that you will. Thank you to all my readers of any fic I ever have or will post. You all mean a lot to me and I hope that I have enough influence to get you to give back a little for the causes I support. Thank you again.
