One wedding. One curse? Disaster ever after…
A seven-years-bad-sex curse? Surely not! Yet something went wrong when rock singer Casey and drummer Alex got married on that beautiful yacht anchored off St Tropez in the south of France. Something went badly wrong. For even on their wedding night, the young couple discovers a complete and somewhat surprising inability to make love. Muddling through their honeymoon with a string of thin excuses for their predicament, the lovers defer finding a solution (and panicking) until the return to their home in London. After all, they married for life and to make rock music, not for the love of sex. Right?
But when they resume life as normal in London, all hell breaks loose. Increasingly frantic in their quest for release, the unhappy newlyweds embark on a string of hilarious and occasionally harmful antics that drives them, their band, and an assortment of random strangers to the brink of despair. But it ain’t over ‘til it’s over or, in this case… it ain’t over ‘til the newlyweds sing.
EXCERPT FROM 7 YEARS BAD SEX BY NICKY WELLS
RELEASES 14 MAY 2015!
There was a
stunned silence in the room while Alex and Casey tried to assimilate the
importance of this statement. She remembered all too well her conversation with
Alex on the yacht after they had trawled through the wedding video. He had
pointed out to her even then that she hadn’t looked at him.
Casey
shivered. She caught Alex’s eye and saw nothing but utter confusion. Liza was
still standing up, one fist raised in an air punch. Sasha had taken one of
Casey’s hands into her own.
Eventually
Alex spoke. ‘Maybe we didn’t look at each other. So what?’
Liza and Sasha
shared another look. ‘The seven-years-bad-sex curse!’ they shouted as one.
Alex burst
out laughing. ‘The seven-years-bad-sex curse?’ he repeated. ‘You’re taking the
mickey, right?’
Myles was
chuckling so hard, he toppled over sideways on the sofa and had to hold his
stomach. ‘That’s why we had to rush over here? To tell them about a seven-years-bad-sex
curse?’
‘Laugh all
you want,’ Liza said calmly. ‘But you’re watching it in action.’
Casey
swallowed hard. She didn’t believe in curses. They were nothing but delusory
superstitions from the middle ages. But still, both Sasha and Liza looked utterly
serious.
‘So—so what
does that curse entail?’ Casey asked, her voice almost a whisper.
Sasha
produced her smartphone and called up a website. ‘It says here,’ she said, ‘there’s
a superstition in many parts of southern Europe about how not looking at each
other when clinking glasses during a toast brings couples seven years bad sex.’
She angled her phone so that everyone could see the screen.
‘And you were in France when you committed this
ritualistic mishap,’ Liza offered helpfully. ‘So that definitely applies.’
