Mixed Nuts
Venita Louise
The Beals live in a
upper middle class neighborhood in the mid 1960's. Frank
is a jingle writer who is having more than a little
trouble coming up with a shoe polish jingle. Trying to
keep up with the neighbor's expensive tastes is a full
time job in itself. But when Frank butts heads with a
Voodoo practicing Brazilian gardener, he gets much more
than he bargains for, especially when he is distracted by
all the spells flying back and forth, with a force strong
enough to turn his wife into a love-starved siren and his
children into well-behaved angels.
Excerpt
Frank felt an apologetic grin tug the corner of his mouth.
“You know what I mean,” he whispered as he closed the
space between them and continued to plant hot kisses down
her throat. “Frank, do you think I’m old?” He kissed his
way up to her ear knowing when he arrived he had to be
very careful with his words. But he didn’t want to use
words. He wanted to show her that she excited him just as
much now as she did eighteen years ago when they were
making out at the drive in movies. He smiled, cupped her
face in his hands and put his mouth on hers. Embers that
had merely glowed in his gut jumped into flames. His
kisses went from sweet to searing, and he gathered her
close hoping to evoke the same feelings in her.
