D is for Debt

Now let's drabble on with the letter D!


Debt

“You owe me a debt,” Lana said with a smirk, her arms crossed in front of her chest.  “I don’t chase away bullies for free.”

Elliot made a futile attempt to straighten his damaged glasses, more to make it look like he wasn’t staring at her.  Lana’s knee-high black leather boots made her look like a warrior goddess.  Bullies had always been a reality for him, and he couldn’t figure out why someone like her would help him.

“What do you want?” he asked hesitantly.

The smirk turned to a smile.  “Just a kiss, because I think you’re cute.”

    Kisses in return for chasing off bullies seems to be a good trade. Lovely drabble.

    A kiss? How old are these kids (I ask because I have sixth grade twins, and I am dreading their foray into kissing or anything else in this direction.)

    Best regards,
    Elizabeth

    nice, are they kids or adults, would this be a sweet chaste kiss, or one that involved fangs and some blood letting?

    That is a cute little bit of writing. I can really feel the scene.

    Same here. It seems like a testament to you that your son wanted a telescope. Now you can star gaze together.

    Love this! So fun. Great job telling a story in very few words. Keeping it short is such a challenge for me, and you've done so well with this. It makes me curious to learn more about Lana.

    This had me thinking she's just the same as the bullies and then no. A great little story.
