Teaser Tuesday

I don't think this scene needs any set-up. Let me know if you think it's silly, not funny, etc.

“You don’t have to whisper, Veronica, he’s gone.”

I shrugged. “Maybe he’s listening at the door.”

He rolled his eyes. “You’re being paranoid.”

“Aren’t you a little concerned with what happened here tonight? Johnny was murdered. It takes a lot of nerve to kill someone. Big you know whats,” I whispered, “to stake a vampire. At a freakin’ vampire bar!”

Frank laughed. “Veronica, I can’t believe you. You sing in a band at some of the shadiest dives around. You’re surrounded by vampires. You’re a witch, although I use that term loosely, and your best friend is a werewolf, yet you can’t say “balls” out loud.”

“I can say it. I’m just being polite, that’s all.”

“No need to be polite around me, you know that.”

“Yes, I’m fully aware. I’m hoping a little of my politeness will rub off on you. Anyway, I can say it out loud.”

“Okay, say it.” He folded his arms in front of his chest.

“Fine. Balls. I’ll go one further and say nuts. You happy? If you don’t stop messing with me, I’ll put yours in a vice.”

“Really, Veronica, I had no idea you were so vulgar.”

I glared at him. “Quit jerking around. I’m serious. Aren’t you afraid for your safety? You know what Charlie said about another vampire being staked last month.”
