A1 - rough day

Brenda reluctantly rose to answer the door, it was habit from her childhood. In the Preserve she could have answered it from her bed if she needed to. She tapped the doorpad and it opened. Evie was on the other side with a pizza box and bottle of orange soda.

It clearly took Evie no more than a glance at Brenda to read her mood, "I take it you forgot we were going to binge watch and chill? How bad was your day?"

Brenda sighed and took Evie's offerings. "I'm sorry. I lost a recon team today, and only just finished the notifications."

The pizza was hot and the soda ice cold. The box was from the pizzeria down stairs. Hands empty Evie put her hand to Brenda's cheek. Brenda nuzzled into it Evie's hands had callouses from years of hand weaving fiber crafts. They had softened since she began weaving space-time bubbles into the Preserve. That weaving was done via a virtual reality interface.

"I know it doesn't help but it isn't your fault. They knew the risks and there is no way to keep the Dark from killing. It's what they do."

"I sent them. How is this not my fault?" Brenda nearly dropped the pizza box.

Evie took the food back from Brenda and steered her to the couch. "Sit."

Brenda slumped ito the unrepentantly soft couch. How dare she be so comfortable when...

Evie put the pizza and soda down on the coffee table. Then went into the kitchen only to return with cups and plates. Evie put a slice of pizza on a plate and handed it to Brenda.

Brenda mechanically took a bite of the far too hot pizza. She chewed accepting the pain as punishment for imagined sins.

Evie gently wiped marinara from Brenda's mouth. She licked it off her thumb, and then went in for a kiss. Brenda felt the pressure of her lips but was too numb to respond. Evie pulled away and Brenda could sense the feeling of failure Evie's mind couldn't help but project.

"I'm sorry Evie, I just can't let go of the guilt."

Evie sighed, "Media screen on, continue from the last episode we watched."

Evie began massaging and tickling Brenda's back from the side. Brenda shivered as Evie's fingers caressed her spine through her blouse. Brenda couldn't keep from relaxing under Evie's gentle fingers.

Brenda took another bite of pizza. After a few minutes she found she had eaten three slices and gotten wrapped up in the plot of the show. She noticed that Evie had yet to touch the pizza herself.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Evie smiled at her. "Later, you need me right now." She hadn't stopped gently stroking Brenda's back.

Brenda smiled forgetting the worries of the day embracing the flood of love and nurturing feelings flowing from Evie's mind. She leaned into Evie's shoulder. The other woman was shorter and slighter of build but her arms were strong and protective as they wrapped around Brenda. Soon despite all thoughts to the contrary, Brenda fell asleep in Evie's arms.

Assignment #1
Create an established couple to work with for the next six weeks. They do not have to be married, but they must be a couple with baggage we can work with. You have 1,000 words to play with for this assignment. Write from one character point of view ONLY, no head-hopping. Here's your setup: One character has had a rough day at work and wants to unwind with their partner. Focus on TOUCH for this assignment. We are not taking them to bed yet but instead using the intimacy of hugging, kissing, holding hands, etc, what the slightest touch can do to a person, how it affects them, and changes their mood, thinking, etc. Please avoid using the word FEEL as much as possible. If you start to write it, close your eyes, imagine it happening, and write what the sensation feels like instead of using the word itself.


ASSIGNMENT IS DUE SUNDAY. Post in bitem format in the forum. Title the post A1.p
