I Warned You ...

Giddy's Deleted Scene
(Adeline helped me with it if you can't tell)

Gideon Gilbert growled low in his throat as a hunk of his inky, black hair flopped in his face again. Since he was a major hunk, he already had some chick in the seat next to him even though he was far away from home. So, she moved his hair out of his eyes for him and started snogging on his neck again.

"Dude, babe," he growled in a huffy voice. "Watch out for the dreads." Gideon didn't actually have dreadlocks, the one time he'd tried to get someone to put them in for him, he'd been categorically denied on the grounds of being "uncool", but even a man has to have dreams. And a penis. Because that's what makes him a man and not a woman.

Just then, a strange noise came from the hood of the truck. Gideon gaped as he realized that his girlfriend, Adeline, was sitting on the wide shiny red chrome glaring at him in the DEATH GLARE that he was only too familiar with. "Dude, not cool!" he whined as he watched her three inch heels scrape against the paint.

She glanced at the bimbo sitting next to him. "Dude, not cool either!" she said imitating him. To make sure he got the point, she grabbed a strand of her silky brunette hair and twisted it around her finger making her most airheadish expression.


WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE! What the hell is this?

This is me writing an introduction to you. Got a problem with it?

Damn straight I have a problem with it.

Well, then you can kiss my ass. Now where was I? Oh yes. I was about to get on with the singing.


Gideon stopped the truck being careful to make sure that Adeline didn't fly forward off the hood and hurt herself. She had a tendency to do that often.


Hey! Where'd that come from? I wouldn't write something like that about myself.

I wrote it.

When'd you start helping? Hush! I'm trying to get to the singing part.

Singing? What singing? I don't sing!

You do now.


After stopping the truck, Gideon got out and walked around his door. "I'm a Blacksmith, a big mighty Blacksmith," he sang in a deep baritone. "And you are the child of fire. I will worship you for your beauty and greatness." He finished the impromptu song on a low note while making calf eyes at the wonderful Adeline. His bimbo was forgotten, and she was forced to stalk off in a huff at being so easily dismissed.


Is this about that waitress again? Because I already told you she thought I was Gabe (Gideon's twin brother), and I didn't want anything to do with her. I just want you … although right now I'm wondering why.

You're supposed to be basking my greatness damn it!

Oh fuck this!

Note from the author: I'm afraid our little "deleted" scene has been cut abruptly short. The hero of said excerpt has thrown the heroine over his shoulder and taken her off to private parts (no, not those!) unknown for the express purpose of explaining to her in explicit detail why it's better if she's nicer to him and exactly how little he wanted to do with the waitress in question.

Allow me to assure you that all will be well. Well, it'll all be ok as long as Gideon's kissing Adeline and, thus, preventing her from opening her mouth again.
