Happy
Saturday and thanks for coming back for more eight (or close to eight)
sentences where we get a chance to add to your TBR list. I’ve been grabbing
snippets from the forth Cassie book, Cassie’s River Living, and for the last
two weeks I’ve told you about Cassie’s annoyance with Phyllis, a woman staying
where Cassie and Tom are vacationing. Phyllis is paying way more attention to
Tom than Cassie cares to put up with. Tom has given Cassie a friendly spanking
before they go to dinner with Sue and Steve to make sure she'll keep her
cool in case Phyllis shows up, but he also warns of a session with the hairbrush
if she doesn’t.
Phyllis
not only shows up, but immediately shoves her chair next to Tom’s and begins
rubbing his arm as she talks only to him. Hairbrush be damned, Cassie had had
enough.
“Mrs. Hawkins,” I began.
“Oh honey, you can call me Phyllis,” she interjected, without
looking my way.
“There are a great many things I could call you madam, but most of
those names aren’t considered proper to use in a polite conversation, so I will
just tell you what you need to know.”
I had her attention then, so I continued. “You need to put your
drooling tongue back in your mouth, your mascara spider eyes back into your
head and your fake boobs back into that cheap dress that is two sizes too small
for you. The man you are so eagerly pawing is my husband and although he rarely
needs rescuing, I am stepping in because he is too much of a gentleman to know
how to get rid of a cheap slut that clings like lint. So I am telling you
straight out – keep away from both of us. It’s not normally my job to take out
the trash, but trust me, if you lay one more finger on my husband, I will take
you out.”
How did Tom react? I hope you'll read and find out.
Ooh ouch ... go Cassie! Mind you, she sure is going to pay for that!

She only spoke the truth!
DeleteGo Cassie! She should get a reward.not a spanking! Great snippet, I was cheering along with every word :)
ReplyDeleteI agree completely! You might be interested in how things played out.
DeleteI think Tom can be full of surprises sometimes and might actually like the reaction Cassie had. Hopefully this spanking will be a good girl spanking.
ReplyDeleteBless your heart for standing up for my sweet Tom! I don't know why he's seen as a bad guy when he loves Cassie so much.
DeleteI think Tom smiled sweetly while seething inside. I, for one, applaud Cassie and her caustic tongue..
ReplyDeleteYou never give Tom enough credit. I keep telling you he is a wonderful man, you just won't believe me. LOL! I think she did a great job too.
DeleteI for one love Tom, although he does swing a mean ivory brush! Lol
ReplyDeleteI adore Cassie as well, and think she is 'spot on' with the 'lady' Phyllis!
You got it Minelle, I loved everything Cassie had to say.
DeleteIt's time for a standing ovation. Bravo, Cassie! Wow, that was awesome. Not that she had to say all that, but that she had the perfect lines to zap her with. Love it. Wish I could do that. :)
ReplyDeleteI know I might have thought this a few days later - never when I needed it.
DeleteWow. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this scene. First, love all the insults. Mascara spider eyes is great! I can understand Cassie's feelings of jealousy, and can empathize with her breaking down and saying everything that is on her mind. Yet, I think most people would think that she is out of line and being rude. However, I think the true fault lies with Tom. If he hasn't made Cassie feel secure enough in their relationship either by his actions with her at home -- or discouraging interlopers, then he is doing something wrong. A woman who truly feels secure and loved by her husband wouldn't act this way. I think Tom deserve to be on the receiving end of the hairbrush.
ReplyDeleteI don't see that ever happening! LOL! It's strange Cassie has seen beautiful, young women flirt with Tom for more than 30 years and has rarely been bothered. Phyllis somehow got under her skin, not so much for the flirting, but for the disrespect she showed Cassie by doing it right in front of her.
DeletePoor Tom is so single-mindedly in love with Cassie I doubt it occurred to him she might actually be seriously bothered by the ridiculous woman.
Well done Cassie. Girl after my own heart.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

I thought she was perfect!
DeleteNow in fiction ... Tom would find a way to bring both Phyllis and Cassie over his knee ... with the other in the corner, me thinks. Jon
ReplyDeleteTalk about jealously - if Tom were to spank another woman I believe Cassie would be as shocked and outraged as if he'd had sex with her. Though it would have made a great scene in a good fiction story.
Delete"It’s not normally my job to take out the trash"--God I love this!!! LOVE IT!! That was great and I was cheering her on through the whole rant! I think most women will love this--we have all had someone we would love to say that to and you gave us the freedom to enjoy Cassie doing it---great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Megan! It is fun to see someone rip someone who so richly deserves it!
Delete"... cheap slut that clings like lint." Love that line! Yes I do.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheri, Cassie was definitely on a roll.
DeleteLove it! Cassie lets her have it and rightly so. Go, Cassie!!!
ReplyDeleteCassie is not the jealous type - but she's not about to let anyone paw Tom! Thanks Mary!
Deletelove it
ReplyDeleteThanks Joelle!
