Keep on telling me what you think of it please.




Marina the voice whispered softly. Marina
She opened her eyes, blinded by the blank ceiling, too white.
She felt a soft hand taking hers and she instantly knew who it was. Tears filled her eyes and started rolling down her cheeks. She was lying in soft covers. Was she dead ? She noticed the slow ticking of a machine, a wooshing far away, and realised she was in a hospital. Jennys face slowly crept into her vision, tired features, afraid eyes.
Her lips twitched in an attempt to smile. Hey beautiful she whispered. Jenny silently started to cry, tears of relief and joy. You scared me so much she said, the fear never leaving her eyes, afraid that if she let go of her hand, Marina would vanish.
She wanted to say something, anything. Talk about the weather, her confusion, the Planet, her feelings, the message Marina had left her, but she couldnt. The words simply ddnt come out. They sat there, looking intensely at each other.


There was a hesitant knock on the door. Bette looked up and Tina appeared in the doorframe. Bette jolted. They were in her office, at the CAC, facing each other. Neither one of them moved nor talked, afraid that if they did, the other one would run away. Bette couldnt smile, it hurt too much to see Tina in such a state, all light gone from her eyes, not even a prickle left. And she knew she was the reason of it.
Why had she slept with Candace ? How could she possibly have set her eyes on somedy else than the beautiful woman in front of her ? Thats all it had been : lust. Rough, sweaty *****. No talking, no sharing, no bonding, no feelings. Action but not love, she realised she hadnt even ever considered Candace as something else than an object. A toy she would use and then throw away once bored.
How could she have become so self-centered, so cold ? She had hurt two people who both didnt deserve it. She was a monster.
She stared at Tina, a silent plea, her eyes begging. Sh wasnt asking for forgiveness, she new she had no right to demand such a thing.
Bette, we came a male voice, drifting closer. Bette ?. She woke up, her head aching, a red mark on her forehead where it had been lying on the desk. Did you sleep here ?
And she suddenly remembered everything : the violent, angry ***** ; the empty spot next to her when she had woken up. The emptyness swallowing her when she had realised that Tina had gone. She couldnt have stayed in the house, so she had gone to her office. It wasnt filled with memories that hurt.
She looked up at James : What did I do ? she desperately asked him. A question she was the only one to know the answer to.

They had all gone home, leaving Marina and Jenny alone, together.
Well, I dont know about you, but Im exhausted ! These chairs at the hospital werent comfortable at all Tonya exclaimed. And did you ,notice the way Alice looked at you ? I tell you, that woman is definitely insane. What about she went on, trying to adopt a seductive tone of voice and stroking Danas arm suggestively you join me to bed and we forget about this night ?
No WAY ! Dana was exasperated and her desperate scream echoed in the empty house. How could she be thinking of ***** in such a dramatic hour, when they had so much to deal with ? Tonya, she said, trying to calm herself, her thoughts forming simultaneously with her words I think you should leave, Id like to be alone. And with that, she headed for her bedroom, crashing down on the bed and instantly falling asleep.

History ! she breathed out, staring blankly at the paper. How the ***** could they expect her to sit an exam on history ? (or rather : how could she have written herself in for such an exam ?). She could deal with languages, having spent the last five years travelling in Europe. But history ?
She decided to give at least a try, trying to forget the jet lag and the sleepless night she had just spent.
She looked around : the other students, about 22 and more were all deeply in thoughts, bent over their desks, writing as fast as they could, like machines which would soon explode, because of the increasing speed.
She felt watched and turned her head towards the invigilatorss desk. There was an indian woman, about 28, thin and with small, gracious features. Sasha changed her look from simple curiosity to desire and daring, noticing the womans reaction. She got up, and headed for the door, knowing that one had to be accompanied by an invigilator to go to the restrooms in order to avoid cheating. The omans neighbour made a move to get up but the indian woman stopped him by putting her hand on his arm and applying a gentle but firm pressure : Ill take care of it William she whispered.
She walked towards Sasha, calmly. They headed for the restrooms, the woman leading the way, Sasha following, an evil grin on her lips. I might as well consider my aversion for history she thought, grinning. The moment they entered the restrooms, she took over control, revelling in the sensation of power. She pushed the woman in one of the stalls and her knee made his way between the womans legs, up to her wetness.


Hey, beautiful lady Ivan whispered coming up from behind. Kit repressed the smile that instinctively came to her lips. Ivan slid her arms around her waist and Kit leande in, seeking comfort in the warm embrace. How are you doing ? Ivan softly asked.
Ok, I guess. I just dont understand how none of us noticed that Marina wasnt all right these days. She answered, with a slightly angry tone. Marina asked me to take over the Planet while shes in the hospital she added.
You can do it Ivan simply stated, trying to cheer her up and shell soon be back. Ivan turned her slowly around, getting lost in the beautiful dark eyes looking up at her. She stopped thinking, closing the distance between them, her eyes lingering on Kits lips. As their lips were about to meet, Kit gently pushed her away.
Ivan stopped dead in her tracks, backing off, her eyes staring at her feet, not daring to look up. She had promised herself she would be patient, never push Kit. But she had obviously let the passion overcome herTruth was, her feelings for Kit were growing every day and it scared, because she still didnt know where Kit stood.
Kit sat down, feeling sorry for Ivan. She wanted to apologize but couldnt. Im sorry she said Im just tired
Of course. Well, Ill let you take a rest. Call me if you need anything. See you later and Ivan left, afraid of the walls Kit had so quickly built between them. Getting Kit to trust her and open up to her at taken her so long, and suddenly, all this hard work was destroyed. It seemed a sysiphian task to her. But she wasnt one to give up.
