Featherlight kisses dance across my skin, sweet breath ghosting in their wake. I smile and sigh his name. In my series of too vivid dreams, this one has to be by far my favourite one. "Wake up, sleepyhead." The words are softly whispered into my ear before his lips find my temple, my forehead, my … Continue reading First Times – Madeleines & Healing (11)
I stay in 'my' room at 1132 Royal Street for a little while longer. Partly because I can't stop grinning goofily at Rashid's texts and partly because I'm not brave enough to test the waters with Mari yet. Of course it's not the first time we said 'ILY', but it seems we try to limit … Continue reading First Times – Madeleines & Healing (10)
In case you are wondering: No, the irony is not lost on me that I got a tattoo on my lower abdomen only months before a knife found its way into Rashid's, almost taking his life. My tattoo is on my right side, while his scar is on his left. While mine celebrates the lives … Continue reading First Times – Madeleines & Healing (8)
~ 8 January ~ I try to sneak into my apartment as quiet as a mouse so I don't alert my watchful guard cat and cause a ruckus when I return home after spending all of Sunday at Josie's. Maybe the mouse part was the mistake, or maybe I underestimated my cat's abilities, but the … Continue reading First Times – Madeleines & Healing (5)
An annoying buzzing sound disrupts a dream that evaporates the moment my brain achieves something resembling a cognitive state. With a low grunt, I fumble for the twitching thing on my nightstand and catch it just before it can tumble off to its certain death over the edge. "Yes?" I answer the phone, and my … Continue reading September 23 – Still (5)
It was years later that Lestat admitted he’d been toying with the idea of turning Barney, giving her the Dark Gift, making her the possibly first vampire cat in existence. The thought had come to him as early as he had carried the ferocious little kitten in its box from the studio, which his band … Continue reading Barney (Epilogue)
I'm on the bus to Josie's. It's the day after we found out that our father died several months ago. I'm alone. Not because Rashid left me, no. We're still good. Although I wouldn't have blamed him. I mean, we're basically still in our rainbows and pink glitter phase of our relationship and we already … Continue reading First Times – Quinn (9)
When we reach Rashid's hotel, it is around midday. He's so paying the next round (of whatever). I suspect he let me win despite my unfairly acquired advantage – it was a very close call – but I take my victories as they come. Unfortunately our date is nearing its end. I need to get … Continue reading First Times – Sazerac & Beignets (9)
I wake up when the sun is fully up, later than I usually get up, and I'm grateful that as a custodian I don't have any fixed working hours. I stumble from the terrace into my apartment, making a beeline for the coffee maker. Before I can reach my destination, I hear banging at my … Continue reading First Times – Sazerac & Beignets (4)
It was one of those sweltering New Orleans summer nights. The heat of the day still lingered, but the breeze that drifted through the open windows carried the essence of night-blooming flowers, their sweetness making the air more bearable. Louis was outstretched on the settee in the parlour, the book he was currently reading momentarily … Continue reading Barney (Chapter 10)
