Welcome to Snippet Sunday! This is a snippet from Two Worlds Collided. Released Oct. 22! Only 99¢ for a short time. I really loved Evie and Bellamy's story. I hope you will too.
LOOKING FOR last week's SNIPPET from Chapter Two: Snippet #6
Now for Chapter Two - Body Language Snippet #7
About this snippet: We're skipping ahead a few paragraphs.
In the last snippet, on the roof, Evie spotted Bellamy on the ledge and charged to his rescue. She's feeling a bit deflated that he doesn't appreciate her attempt to save his life. Bellamy accuses her of almost tumbling him over the edge. She, of course, tells him she most certainly did not try to do such a thing.
Now for the snippet. There are some tweaks in punctuation. Evie is speaking first.
*****************************************************************************************************************
"And what were you doing up there, anyway? Who stands on a ledge and not think: Hey, I might fall to my death." She rolled her eyes and that seemed to set him off.
His nostrils flared and he looked like he wanted to say more on the matter, but then he turned toward Leon, who stood there with his arms folded against his chest and his lips appeared to be twitching as if he were holding back a full out smile.
"You need to fire the security guard," Bellamy stated, "that allowed this crazy broad up here." He flew to his feet and brushed off his white pants that were smudged with dirt from the gravel rooftop. He flipped his curly hair away from his bright and beautiful blue eyes. God, he was handsome. A lean five-foot-ten, he appeared taller than he truly was, or maybe it was because she was still sprawled at his feet.
Leon cleared his throat and said, "Bellamy, I want you to meet your personal assistant."

Want to guess what Bellamy is going to say to that? lol
Blurb for Two Worlds Collided: (Time Travel, rating: 17+ years and older)
Evie Reid on a whim agrees to travel back in time to change bad boy Bellamy Lovel's path of destruction. She's smart with a college degree, but she is still fan-girl crazy for the rock band, Civilized Heathens. Evie knows despite all Bellamy's smiles and enthusiasm on the stage, he's destined to end it all on one lonely night in a hotel room unless she can change his path.
Bellamy isn't keen on having Evie as his personal assistant, hired by his band mates to watch over him, and keep him on schedule. However, there is something about the woman that sparks his interest, despite his best to ignore her. When darkness threatens to consume him, he realizes she may be the only light that will chase the shadows away.

What will he say indeed? Great snippet and nice descriptions!
Nancy,
Thank you.
I doubt that he is going to be very happy with that information. I can see the sparks flying.
This first meeting exceeded my expectations, Karen.
Love the tension and mood. Excellent job.
Kim,
Just what I was going for. Hope Evie’s fan-girl awe came through too. Remember, this is the first time she’s actually met him. What would you do if you met your fan-crush guy for the first time? You’d may forget for just a second the true reason you’re there. 🙂
What a great intro!! Nothing like starting a new job on the right foot. Well done, Karen!
Nancy,
Thank you. Nothing like starting a new job on the right foot or at ‘his’ feet. 🙂
Great snippet! I wonder how he’ll react to that news.
Jessica,
Probably not good. lol
What a way to be introduced – sprawled at his feet! Lol
Aurora,
Probably not the way she wanted to be introduced. lol
Good exciting scene. You’ve got a touch of heat, fire, and humor. Very nice!
Charmaine,
What I was going for. Thanks.
Oh, they’re just getting along so well, you can tell this will be fun! Lots of sparks and drama!
Caitlin,
Yep, there will be sparks.
Leon is enjoying this a little too much. What a great first meeting!
Christina,
Thank you.
Gripping snippet. I can’t wait for more
Best wishes with the book, love the concept. This scene was excellent, not the best way for them to meet but a good setup for future events.
Veronica,
Thanks so much for the good wishes and your support. 🙂
Haha! What an introduction!! lol
Teresa,
Yes, something neither will forget soon. lol
Bam! Leon has perfect timing. I love it!
Haha, oh! I can just imagine what his response is going to be to THAT one! I hope we find out.
Great scene. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
Oh-oh, now there will be fireworks!
LOL
I agree with a poster above: I think Leon is enjoying this WAY too much! (I probably would be too if I was in his shoes.)
Yes, he was a bit tickled.
