Quinn's Faith

This is a little bit from a book I have published, called Quinn's Faith. Sorry, the format is off. having a hard time fixing it.

Ajax returned about half past two, dropped

his tool bag by Quinn’s front door, and took off

his heavy work boots and socks.

“Quinn, I’m back. Man, that place was a

mess! Still is, but not as bad,” he joked.

The house was silent. Ajax made his way

to the kitchen, and washed his hands in the sink.

When he was drying his hands, he looked through

the window, to find Quinn ripping up the yard

near the garden. She was using this thing with

teeth on it to tear up the ground. The skin that was

uncovered was gleaming with moisture. She was

wearing something he might see at a running

track, or at the gym. Even though she wasn’t thin,

to say the least, she was curvy and well-defined

from doing factory work for as long as she had.

Ajax whistled loudly, and mumbled, “Dang,” to

himself. Smiling widely, he poured two very large

Mason jars of sweetened iced tea, and made his

way to the back yard.

“Oh, man, hot, hot, hot!” Ajax said, setting

his iced tea down on the patio table.

Quinn stopped spraying water on the

ground, turned around, and looked up at the sun.

“Tell me about it. I’m burning up. It’s hot

out here.”

Ajax laughed, and handed her a glass of

iced tea.

Quinn quickly drank over half of the tea.

“Yeah, about that: I wasn’t talking about

the weather, babe.”

Quinn smiled at the compliment. “What’ll

it take to cool you off?” she replied, with a wink.

Ajax was surprised she didn’t fall quiet on

his cocky compliment. He cleared his throat, and

raised his brow. “I can think of a couple things.”

Quinn flirtatiously giggled, and downed

the rest of the iced tea, handing the glass back to

Ajax. “I can, too,” she said, as she raised the

hose, and pulling the trigger.

Ajax, surprised by Quinn’s unpredictable

action, lost his footing, and fell back, landing in

the mud, with the Mason jar rolling out of his

hand, unharmed. Quinn continued spraying him,

until he swiped her legs from under her, making

her fall. She landed in the soft, muddy, over-

watered garden, next to him. They lay there a

while, after they finished laughing, to catch their

breath.

This was fun, and your descriptions allowed me to see the action unfolding in my mind’s eye. I’d like to read more about Ajax and Quinn.

Thank you so much! Ajax and Quinn have their own book. I can post another part later if you want the whole thing its on Amazon Quinn's Faith by Diane Garner. Not sure if they will let me put the whole thing on here since it's been published.

I will look for it on Amazon.

I could see it all unfold before me, and smiled when I saw the element of promiscuousness. Such things can occur--of that, I'm sure. Where it may lead... ? Reading with my first cup this morning, this is a good one to start the day with.

Thank you so much! This was my first real write. Feels great having a real writer like yourself enjoy it.

I liked this, The playfulness of it. I like the implied, but unstated action that was to come and is to come yet. Nicely done - Diane
Take care - Dave
