“Imaginary friend” comes back to care for older woman

[Strangebuddy]

So this is a much less overtly erotic fantasy than I normally pitch but here goes:

A woman’s life seems like it’s falling apart, her long term partner or spouse is leaving her and trying to take her kids, she’s just lost her job, and all of her friends are on her partner’s side.

As she’s about to call a crisis line, a pair of slender arms wraps around her and pull her into an embrace. The woman smells lavender and looks behind her to see a beautiful woman in a fairy princess dress smiling at her.

When she was little, she imagined a girl her age who was a fairy princess, the two played together every day and promised to marry when they grew up...and now that imaginary friend is there, all grown up, and wants to help her.

Could go a few ways:

1. The friend wants to take her away. She’d Have to leave her kids behind but she could be happy forever as her wife.

2. Friend takes care of her but as things turn better, the woman worries her friend will leave again.

3. Friend helps but her help is dangerous to others.

Erotic element comes from them making love with their power dynamics shifting around across the story.

The only constants I want is that:

1. Friend is invisible to others.

2. The friend is playful but not childish. She actually does know what the woman needs and about adult responsibilities. She isn’t just trying to push for tea parties and games.

Sara (First draft)

Final draft: 'Sara's Protector' (2 Lit pages) is in Sci Fiction and Fantasy.

Sara thought that she just had less of a sex drive than other girls her age. Maybe just as some girls developed their breasts earlier and some later, she would develop a libido later in life. She wasn't interested in boys, even the ones her friends, even the ones her mother said we're cute. It made high school a bit boring, but there were advantages she was valedictorian after all.

Barry was kind and persistent, he treated her with respect and her parents liked him. He was responsible and had a good job with a future. He would make a good father, and while she was ambivalent about him she knew that she wanted children.

So when he asked her to marry him she was honest with him. She told him that she liked him and she wanted children. That her parents wanted her to marry and that they liked him. She told him what she honestly believed to be true, that she just wasn't that interested in sex.

She asked him to take a day and think about what she said to him. If he asked her again tomorrow she would say yes, but she asked him to think about it overnight and said she would understand if he did not ask. He asked. She agreed to marry him and to commit herself to 'doing her wifely duty' because he agreed to be a good husband and father.

Barry was happy to make her pregnant, twice, and she was happy with him, she grew to love him, he wasn't pushy or weird so she accommodated him although she just wasn't that into it. She didn't mean to deceive him, but she felt that she had when she finally figured it out. Worse, he felt hurt. He felt she had deceived him when she finally sucked up the courage to tell him.

She liked girls. Now if you were from New York or California or even big city Houston an hour south of here that wasn't the end of the world. But it sure felt like it was in small town Cavelier, Texas. Her husband and her parents wanted to cure her. Cure her? She had just figured out what was wrong with her.

She couldn't figure out why Barry became so distant. She had told him before she accepted his proposal that she was not really interested in having sex with him. She agreed as part of a deal. She wasn't reneging, he was. She wasn't asking him to change anything. She was explaining to him why. She was confirming what she had previously said. She was reiterating that it wasn't him.

Barry took their children to his mother's house; her own parents agreed with his decision to do so. Homosexuality was a grave sin her father told her. She asked him where in the Bible it said that. Her parents could not answer her, possibly because they belonged to a very popular branch of Christianity that held that one needn't actually read the contents of the 'good book' so long as you tithed and regularly attended Church pancake suppers.

She was offered a choice, get herself cured of being herself or be a divorcee with her husband retaining custody of their children. The children that were the only reason she married Barry in the first place. When she made a counter-offer, that she would remain his wife, lie and say she was cured and continue to provide him with sex if he would bring their children back and smooth things out with their parents Barry exploded.

It was the first time he had ever been like that with her. He cursed her, he called her a "whore" for offering him sex. He called her an unfit mother for trying to maintain a home with two parents for their children. He called his parents. He called her parents. He called their pastor. He called an attorney. He filed a petition for dissolution of marriage.

She was at the absolute lowest point of her life. That is when the hallucinations began.

When she was in junior high school and her friends started standing her up for boys she found an amazing, albeit imaginary, playmate that would not stand her up or abandon her, Jean. Jean looked a lot like a thirteen year old Barbra Eden, which was not surprising since Sara had loved to watch 'I Dream of Jeanie' on television. Best of all Jean WAS a real jeanie.

Sara continued

In junior high Jean made the loneliness go away. Jean studied with her, went fishing and swam in the lake with her. Jean shared many pizza pies and quarts of ice cream with her. At one point her father was a little concerned about Jean's influence, but her mother showed her father Sara's latest report card and dad never mentioned Jean again.

Jean went everywhere Sara did, she stood unseen next to Sara as she gave her high school commencement speech. Jean only left her side when she began to date Barry.

My God, thought Sara, after all those years of Jean never forsaking Sara, it was Sara who forsook Jean. Amazingly Jean was not angry, Jean was in love with Sara, and now that they were both grown up they could have grown up feelings of love. They could make grown up love.

(Insert incredibly hot lesbian sex scene here.)

In the afterglow of their love making Jean gave Sara the strength to go confront Barry, to tell him that what he was doing was wrong. To condemn her for her telling him what she had figured out, for sharing her innermost thoughts and feelings with her husband and the father of her children. That he was wrong for not working with her to figure things out like he promised to in their wedding vows but instead recruiting others outside their union to denounce her.

Sara woke from a bizarre dream. Her imaginary friend from school had shrunk Barry and put him in the decorative glass bottle that her mother had bought her ten years ago because it looked like Barbra Eden's bottle on 'I Dream of Jeanie.' Her head was pounding; her door was pounding. Sara looked as bad as she felt answering the door disheveled and in the old sweats she had slept in.

There were three people at her door, her mother-in-law who was screaming accusations of foul play, a young Policewoman who was trying to calm her mother-in-law down and a bored looking older Policeman who was trying to make sense of it all. How the five foot four woman in front of him disappeared her six foot two husband from her husband's parents house without an accomplice or weapon in front of three adults, her mother father and brother-in-law.

After promising to call the Policeman if Barry called or dropped by... After the Police escored her raving lunatic of a mother-in-law from the premises... After she called her mother on the telephone to ask if she had heard from Barry... After she made herself a cup of strong coffee... She looked in the bottle and dropped the mug of hot coffee on her feet and on the carpeted living room floor.

"Jeaaaaaaanie!"

In Chapters Two, Three and Four, Sara asks Jean to release the prisoner(s) in the bottle and a thoughtful conversation is had about what hypocritical position each prisoner has espoused. Jean promises to release them after "they learn their lesson and make amends" and then makes hot passionate love with Sara giving her the strength to confront another hypocrite.

Sara's father in law, father and their pastor join Barry in that increasingly crowded bottle. The police are befuddled. Everyone accuses Sara, but nobody has a clue how what they think happen possibly could have. Sara becomes convinced that she is crazy, while the Police think she is the only sane one and that her in-laws, parents and church staff are insane.

Hmm, this idea must have resonated or something.
