My 10th week of six sentence Sunday - Enter the Sister

From Bride of the Living Dead, Daria and Oscar just got engaged, on the doorstep of her old apartment they unexpectedly encounter Daria's sister, Sky.

I put my arms around Sky and hugged her again--twice in a row like that was unusual for us, but she felt so fragile and something seemed to hover around her--heartbreak, death?

            Stepping out of my embrace, she turned to look Oscar over appraisingly and said, "Hi. You’re new."

            "This is, um, uh, my fiancé, Oscar Winslow."

            "What happened to Kent, the love of your life? Wait, I remember, he dumped you, but for the longest time, the obsession lingered--though not as bad as your first boyfriend, Denny--"

"Sky, stop right now!"

9th Six Sentence Sunday, asked and answered

Here's a turning point from Bride of the Living Dead. Daria halfway expected Oscar to invite her to move in, but he asked her to marry him and she fell silent.

            "I know it’s soon to think about marriage, but--"
            "Are you sure? You aren’t just saying that to get me to move in?"
            "I’m saying that because I want to spend my life with you."
            "Good answer." I stepped into his arms and laid my head on his chest.

My 8th Sunday six sentences - a modest proposal

Here's the 8th installment in six sentences from Bride of the Living Dead, a romantic comedy about a woman who loves horror movies too much. Last time Oscar and Daria (finally!) got together. Now weeks have become months and things keep getting better:

      "Daria, I do love you." It wasn’t the first time he had said it, but it was the first time he had said it when we were both fully clothed. "You could move in here, we could get married."

For a moment I was speechless. I had just managed to fall into my sister Sky’s "Step 2 - Get him to propose" without even trying. I was so shocked that I wondered if there was something wrong with the idea, even though every fiber in my body was in favor of it.

Daria's sister Sky's 5 Steps to living happily ever after are described in the first few pages of Bride of the Living Dead which you can read by using the handy dandy Book Buzzr widget on the right.

He confesses, she reacts, 7th Sunday six sentences

Here's my seventh Sunday six from Bride of the Living Dead, a romantic comedy about a woman who loves horror movies too much: Oscar and Daria, in a fever of foreplay at his house, stop when he announces the need to confess:

     He chuckled at my alarm and ran his hands along my back as if he couldn’t help himself. "I saw you walk into the screening decided to buy a ticket, follow you in and sit behind you. When we kept laughing at the same awful parts in the movie, I had to talk to you."

     "Very nice, I approve," I said, almost beyond words." I slipped my hand under his shirt and was lost to coherent thought.

     The rest of our conversation was in eloquent body language and we understood each other totally.

Finally foreplay! The 6th Week of Six Sunday Sentences - from Bride of the Living Dead

Oscar and Daria's third date ends up in a fever of foreplay at his house.

He drove into the garage and we stumbled into his house and began kissing again the moment he had the door closed. "I’ve wanted to do this ever since I sat behind you in that horrible movie."

            "But you were sitting behind me, you hadn’t even seen my face," I said, stroking his cheek, enjoying the sandpapery feel of it.

            "You had a very appealing neck, but I have a confession to make," he said, kissing my collarbone and working his way up.

I drew back in alarm. "Is this something that’s going to bring everything to a screeching halt?"

5th week of Six Sentence Sunday...

Another six sentences from Bride of the Living Dead: Oscar asks Daria on a second date, then he cancels with a plausible explanation, yet she begins to wonder. Finally when they do go out, he explains that an ex-girlfriend, Francine, has been stalking him Fatal Attraction style and he's trying to be cautious, but…

     He looked at me steadily for a moment, and I felt a wave of warmth that spread all the way down to my toes. "Some things are irresistible."
     I sighed and we kissed. I wasn’t about to tell him about driving up Clayton Street and looking at his house. Much too close to something Francine would do. I had a sudden chill to think that maybe she was watching us even now.

4th Six Sentence Sunday snippet

From Bride of the Living Dead. After meeting and being instantly drawn to each other, Daria and Oscar share coffee and compare T-shirts, then he gives her a ride home.

He leaned over slightly to adjust the heater and put his hand on mine for a moment, then he reached up and lightly stroked my hair and kissed me lightly on the lips.

            "I’ll be good," he said, as if to himself.

            "I know," I said, as all my nerve endings heated up so fast that someone watching on infrared sensor would have been startled. "And even better," I pulled him back for another kiss and we moved back apart with a sigh.

            "I’d better get you home."

            I directed him to Anza Street, expecting him to ask me out on a second date, but never guessing he would break it.
