For fun tonight, I was IM'ing a friend of mine and writing a story. This is interesting - its complete romantic drivel, but she liked it. Posted here for the world to see:
demizio: she rolled over and stared at the smile. It revealed so little about him; none of his character or goodness presented itself within. She tried to mimic the smile on her own face, and found she couldn't: like him, she had found, the smile held deeper meaning that she could not imitate yet. Perhaps with time, and knowledge, she would know more about the smile, about the man, about the mystery that surrounded him. Perhaps she could find his hidden allure, the allure that had drawn her towards him.
demizio: in the shower she let the steamy water drizzle all over her body. It was like his touch: hot, and tingly for her. Through all of the time she had known him - living next to each other for all those years as children - she had never felt this way about him before. There had always been something there, she knew, but it had never been explored. Getting out of the shower, she dressed for class, knowing full well that the professor's words would pass over her today as she thought about that smile.
demizio: She never even saw the car that hit her. As she stepped into the street she turned around to see the house. He was standing on the porch - smiling that smile of his. He waved; she waved back, and the world changed forever as the blue minivan ran the stop sign, stopping only when it had knocked her to the street.
demizio: He ran to her side, held her hand, and did what he could until the ambulance came. He was there for her when she came out of her coma: asleep in the visitor's chair in the hospital room, holding her hand, the same smile on his lips. She immediately knew that he was the man, and that he would never leave her side. She grasped his hand tighter and fell back asleep.
demizio: They planned a May wedding, for after the rains. The proposal was subtle; completely within his style. Her recouperation was quick: he was by her side at every painful but necessary step. She finally was discharged and brought home: her homecoming was greeted with flowers and joy from all sides, but especially from his.
demizio: And as she said "I do," she gazed into his eyes, and into his smile, and realized that he was the best thing that had ever happened to her. They embraced, love in their hearts burning as feircely as any fire, as any star, as any sun in any galaxy discovered or undiscovered at any time in the human concept of time.
demizio: To be continued.
(I want to write the backstory for her at some point. There are a few long messages that got lost, so the beginning of this narrative may be lost.)
(yeah terps!)
