I'm up for the challenge
, bring it on!!! ...
She was standing right before me, on the moon-lit prairie, cigarette in one hand, a drink in the other. The party was well beyond its climax, and most people had already left to tend to their desires, the people left over were all completely wasted, half of them were squandering all over one another. She bent slightly over the balcony and flicked ashes into the swirling air, unaware of him sitting in the corner. Her dress was dark and emphasized her body, from the luscious red lips to her dazzling thighs, she resonated beauty, it was overwhelming. Images of debauchery flashed over his eyes, mouths and hips conjoined in passion, the soft purrs and moans of union, the hairs on his neck stood on end. He savored these images for a while, and then summoned up whatever was left of my confidence, and approached this dazzling woman, swirling his drink as if he were some rich aristocrat. She didn't notice his approach, she had received almost no attention all night and was brooding over dark emotions and resentment. She really hated these parties, as usual, her friends had dragged her along and just abandoned her, they were great friends, but sometimes... "Isn't it a bit cold to be out here alone?", his strong deep voice failed to betray his nervousness never the less, she jumped at the intrusion. She tried not to let her annoyance show, and re-composed herself,
"I don't feel the cold anymore, it's not important"
He took off his jacket and wrapped it over her delicate, white shoulders, and she jumped at his touch,
"Oh sorry, my hands must be freezing"
"No, no, there's no need to apologize, thanks", her eyes gazed out across the dark ocean. She wondered what it would be like to just jump, to end it all in the frigid black waters...
He smiled lightly and took a sip of wine, "So what brings you here on this wondrous occasion?"
"Well, I'm Harrison's nephew, I didn't want to come along... Harrison is a selfish, obnoxious prick"
He laughed out loud at the bitter remark, "I agree, I feel sorry for you, being so close to him all the time must be rather at times"
"You don't know the half of it",
"maybe not, but from what I hear, his exploits have raised many an eyebrow, I wouldn't believe you if you told me he had a nice bone in his body" He turned his shoulder, "It's getting quite late, do you need a lift home, I'd gladly lend you one", she had to stop herself from smirking, she knew exactly what he was doing...
Is it good enough?
I might come back and finish it some time
I am such an NF
