incoherent indecision

It’s 4am and he lies there sleeping. His arms wrap around her and her head rests in his chest. He’s sound asleep and breathing heavy.  She lies there still but eyes wide open. She thinks if what she’s doing is right. She thinks if what she’s doing is wrong. Her conscience pulls her in both [...]

office politics

Everyone’s gone home and the office is empty.  The lights are off and the only source of illumination is the screen saver on the monitors. It’s him and her and no one else.
They’d gone out for drinks after work and came back into the office to pick up their bags. The flirting between them has [...]

R.I.P VHS

“No Mum, you don’t need to rewind the DVD when it’s finished.  You just flip it over and play the other side.” 

I’d like to make an appointment

Fucking admin girl.
A task that takes 5 seconds to do is extended to a minute because she has to :
A.    Write down the appointment details in neat, curly handwriting between the lines on the page.
B.    Highlight the appointment entry
C.    Highlight the appointment entry again so that the colour touches the top and bottom lines, carefully [...]

looking for your pants?

You’re the dog that comes on her command. The slightest whistle and you sit and obey. The leash is on you and she’s the master. Are you going to go and fetch her slippers too?

Like the puppet and the puppeteer. She makes you beg but rewards are small. You didn’t think it’d be like this. [...]

BUSTED!!

Oh C’mon!!! You clearly dress that way because you want to look good, and that you do. But feel some fucking flattery and don’t give me a dirty look when you catch me checking you out.

the quiet way home

She picks me up from the bar when I’ve had too much to drink.
My head is spinning fast and she makes it spin faster. 
My seatbelt is buckled and my wallet is empty.
She takes the corners slowly so the motion is soft. 
She’s easy on the brakes and soft on the throttle. 
She puts her hand on my [...]

never let go

Even though you’re flawed, it’s what makes him love you. 
When he disappoints you he disappoints himself.
He’d do anything in the world to make you happy. 
You make him feel things he’s never felt before. 
His emotions go haywire through good times and bad. 
Your bad times are times that make good times feel so good. 
Without you he’s nothing, [...]

and when the war is over

Lying in bed but not sleeping.
Waking up but not wanting to be awake.
Not returning phone calls. 
Turning off the phone.
Staring at old photos; wanting to tear them up.
Staring at old photos; wanting to keep them close.
Not eating.
Over eating.
Lying to your friends.
Lying to yourself.
Drinking alone.
Drinking too much.
Saying it’s ok. 
Knowing it’s not.
Writing sad stories like this.
Reading sad stories [...]

all bets are off

They know that it’s bad but they keep going back. They said it would stop but they’ve done everything but that. What they had wasn’t deep, superficial or shallow. It was what they both wanted although a strange disposition. It ended quite well and they remained good friends. It didn’t last long until tensions arose. [...]
