My other lives

[SophieUK]

Sophie pulled her coat tight around her, shielding herself against the driving rain and the cold..
It had been a late night at the office.. then the dinner and drinks with her boss... now its a cold walk home alone..

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

Alyssia was anxious, she couldnt beleive she was where she was. She sat on sophie's doorstep huddled in the rain, waiting for to arrive home. She'd been waiting for 3 hours, she wasn't going to give up. She checked her watch again- struggling to see in the dark. Her watch ticked over 9:20. Where was she?

 

[SophieUK]

Peering ahead through the rain, Sophie sees a slight figure huddled on her doorstep.. her heart leaps.. her step quickens ...anticipation (if it Alyssia) mixed with guilt (what had she been thinking, getting involved earlier this evening?)

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

Alyssia sighed. She gathered up her now sopping wetback and wrapped her wet coat around herself. Her resolve was fadding, and she was begining to question why she was now waiting for Sophie at all. She walked down the steps in front of the door, and looked to the floor as she walked down the front path. She stopped suddenly, nearly slipping on the tiles in shock as a pair of feet in flat's materialised on the floor in front of her.

 

[SophieUK]

Sophie's heart leaps as she realises its true!
She sweeps a rather damp and cold Alyssia into her arms and ushers them both back up the path, pushing hard against the door as she fumbles the key into the lock.. it bursts open and they spill forward falling into a heap on the floor

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

Before she knows what's hit her, she's suddenly found herself in a tangled heap on the floor in sophie's hallway.

''I...I'm gonna...go...'' she managed to mumble as she struggled up and gathered up the spillage from her bag. She turned away from sophie and stiffled a sob as she headed back out into the cold.

 

[SophieUK]

Sophie jumps up and grabs at the retreating Alyssia
"No, love, please stay!"
"I forgot you you were coming over..."
"I got delayed at the office" *guilt sweeping through her again*

Sensing you hesistate and starting to turn, I force a smile "Please?"

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

I turned to look at you, i didnt know what to feel, so many emotions. What to say. I couldnt say anything before you took charge and took my hand, leading me back inside. Within moment's i found i was sitting in your living room, on that oh so very comfortable sofa. You had taken my coat off of me and said something about drying it out. I didn't hear, i was away in the distance, my mind blank as you pottered around me. My hair clung in thick chunks to my pale skin, and i sat bolt upright staring at the wall.

 

[SophieUK]

I busy myself, lighting the fire.. thankful I'd left it well prepared.. the flames from the kindling leap up quickly as it catches.. light flickering around the walls of the dark room (in my haste I hadn't turned on the light) and casting moving shadows across your dusky skin

I turn, proferring a thick towel

"Come on love, lets get you dry" *smiling at you*

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

I looked into the fire, the flames hypnotised me as i watched them swallow and fight each other. Red, orange, yellow. Engulfing the wood, the match all but dissapeared now. I was so absorbed in the sight, remembering all those times, with the fire all around us, that i didnt notice you drying me off until you were rubbing my hair soothingly.

 

[SophieUK]

standing behind you now, sensing you're miles away, absorbed in the fire.. possibly numb with cold, gently towelling your hair..
looking over your shoulder at the flames, I ease your coat from your shoulders, letting it fall.. and kiss where your damp hair has fallen to one side away from your neck

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

I shiver at the touch of your lips against my skin, and waking up from my trance i turn to look up at you, the towel flopping against my face. You lift it up and look down into my eyes. I muster a weak smile and reach out to take your hand, raising the cold skin to my lips and kissing it. It's almost as if there is a hea radiating from my caress, you skinalmost immediately seems to warm up and the gentle flush of your skin that i love so much returns.

warming suddenly as you kiss my hand, I hold your shouders, looking into your eyes...
gripping the straps of you simple dress, I slip them over your shoulders and it slips to the floor.. exposing your beautiful body.. the dusky colour and the flickering from teh fire a gorgeous sight before me...

"Come, sit by the fire.. you need to warm up" leading you to the sheepskin...

[time for bed now love ]

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

Surprised at how you've reduced me to my bra and boxers so quickly without my barely noticing, i let you lead me to the rug on the floor. You sit beside me, and i watch intently as you undo another button on your shirt and slip it over your head without bothering with the rest. I reach out weakly and brush my fingers against the ivory skin of your well defined stomach. I've always joked that if you kept working out the way you do, i'd be able to grate cheese on your stomach. The thought made me smile a little as you lay down against me, both our bodies cold and slightly wet. The heat from the fire begining to warm us, but i felt more warmed by being with you.

(Night sweet xx )

*smiling at your comments about my body* I'm addicted to working out at present.. love the way it makes me feel, the energy it gives me, plus it takes my mind off those others that complicate my life, my boss, my ex husband...

Hugging you close in front of the fire (hot against my back , leaving me cold on my front), enjoying the warmth of skin on skin, hoping it warms you up.. you feel so cold..
nuzzling your neck now.. though disconcerted.. you smell unusual.. not like your usual self

We lay in silence, your breast's pressed into the back of my shoulders as you craddle me. Hearing you inhale deeply, smiling a little, knowing you're perplexed by my new scent. I'd bought some new luxury item's from Lush. You pick up on smell so easily, and so i thought you might appreciate the gesture of the massage bar i used to moisturise with today. I brought it with me, in case you had some knots to be taken care of. You know how i love to caress your skin and make the aches slip away. My eyes close, and your left hand finds my left, clasping it tight, i smile softly, my eyes still closed i bring your hand to my lips again and kiss it softly.
