FLAVOR: Criminal Intent
CHARACTERS: G/E
WORD COUNT: 128
RATING: K+
Bobby turned the corner and pulled up short. There stood Alex, her shirt pulled up her belly bared probing her belly button and whispering to Wheeler.
Hearing Bobby’s abrupt stop brought her head up and her shirt down. Her face flushed bright red.
Hoping to ease her embarrassment he grinned and dropped a seventy-five cent word on Alex that he knew would irritate the hell out of her. “I did not know you were an Omphaloskepsis.
Both ladies stared at his retreat. “What’s that?” Wheeler whispered.
Alex shrugged, “He knows I hate it when he does that. Let’s go look it up.”
When Bobby returned and settled into his chair, she glared at him, “I was not contemplating my navel as part of some mystical exercise.”
“Really? But you looked the word up, didn't you, huh. Did you join the .com?”
She threw her pen at him.
