Possums From Over The Hedge 소설 & 이야기

"You do realize you're standing in your yard wearing only a stained men's undershirt, right? I was trying to ignore it, but damn. A guy can only keep his eyes averted for so long." Jessi glanced down to see Graham's undershirt, which barely covered her panties, and clung to her breasts like Saranwrap in the humidity of the morning. "Shit!" she swore. "No worries, Jessi. I'll be out of your hair as soon as I'm done with these hedges," Judd said as he started the trimmers again and returned to his work. Jessi hurried back to the pool deck and into the house.

I can't take his look — it's the most frightening and most charming thing I have at any point experienced. I simply need to go leap once more into that well. Anything is superior to this embarrassment. "We found a few shrubberies dispersed across the woodland, all with various sorts of organic products developing. From the outset, we thought they were all dead, yet it was only the unusual state of the organic product that distracted us. Be that as it may, hello, don't attempt to occupy me."He inclines in, our thighs practically contacting. "Open your mouth."The natural product hangs before my nose.

That had been way too close. I was a few feet away from the opening when I heard him raise his voice again. “Why do you keep looking over there? There's someone hiding among the bushes, isn't there?” He asked and started to march over to the hedge again. I quickly crossed the distance and went through the opening, gathering my dress up behind me so I wouldn't leave any trace of my presence. He burst through the hedge and started to make it rain bullets even though there was nobody there. Dipshit.

Patty ducked into their backyard, dropped the bag off her shoulders, quickly sat the bowl of coleslaw in the grass, hauled ass to the bushes next to their deck, and promptly tossed her cookies – loudly. When Patty was done, she slowly swayed her head up. Rufus barked. She looked down at him. He was looking to the left. She followed his gaze to see the Hopkins’ next door neighbors staring at her from their back porch. Cousins, Mindy and Cindy Pandock’s eyebrows were arched.

"I'm trying." Suddenly, they both heard a low growling coming from behind a high-grown shrub at the far side of the forest. The shrub was dry and had the shape of a large porcupine that was shaking with slight movements. When what was disturbing the shrub will jump out, it was a scrawny Hyena, all red-eyed and aggressive.

Images of men in cars holding bouquets of two-cent candy out to his son filled his head. Wes walked through a small thicket of trees and saw his son’s bare back. Jed’s soiled shirt was thrown over the arm of a collapsed tree. He stood on a mound of upraised dirt: the spout of an ant nest. The hive thrummed with swarming black and yellow pinpricks. Wes called to his son. Jed slowly turned. His arms were lathered in jam, smeared over his cheeks. His pale skin was covered in a frenzy of ants. Thousands of them. On his lips, through his hair.

Suzanne explained. "You did?" Kyle asked, surprised. "Stop exaggerating, Suzanne, it was a boar, a skunk, and a raccoon," Sonia pointed out. "I know what I saw," She insisted. "It was a hedgehog, a rabbit, and a wild dog," Austin pointed out. "Hold up..." Justin raised his palm. "Weren't y'all together?" They nodded in unison. "How come you saw different things," he demanded. They exchanged confused looks among themselves.

Having a maze in your yard must be an Alpha thing. My suspicions were confirmed when we headed straight towards it and took a quick right into the large, squared off bushes. Alpha Reggie was tall enough to see over the top of the hedgerow, but my height made that impossible unless I jumped, which was not happening in front of the Alpha King.

VINES – DO NOT DROP. I drop it. It’s every bit as glorious as you’d hope. The crate lands half on Bren’s foot and pops the lid. A green-brown spill of thorned pods rolls across the barley like a cloud of very motivated hedgehogs. Bren swears. He hops. He goes down. He tries to claw them out and discovers the second joke. The little bastards want to go deeper if you tickle them. Mara uses the beat to cut his hamstring with the sort of professional tidiness that makes me love her a little.

I paused in the shadowed doorway, assessing the terrain and timing my move. Three gardeners worked among the neat rows, their attention focused on their tasks. Beyond them lay a decorative hedge that would provide cover if I could reach it unseen. I counted breaths, watching the rhythm of their work, and when all three bent to their tasks simultaneously, I moved – quick, purposeful steps that carried me behind a tall trellis of climbing roses and then to the concealing bulk of the hedge.
