The Moment I Fell
Relaxing into her embrace, I set the knife and the pepper down in front of me and leaned back against my girlfriend. We gently swayed to the beat of the song.
“I’m gonna boil that water.” She whispered in my ear from behind then untangled herself from me. I resumed my chopping and Bette worked around me to get our sides ready.
Soft chit chat about our day filled the space of the kitchen while the radio continued to play in the background. The sexual tension between us simmered much like the meal we were preparing. The intensity was only punctuated with each passing touch we stole from one another as our bodies maneuvered around the kitchen for our respective dinner duties. Any excuse to touch her was good enough for me.
Once the fish was baking and the potatoes were sufficiently boiled, we replenished our wine glasses and decided to relax in the living room for a moment. I couldn’t stop staring at her. She had changed into a loose-fitting pair of jeans and a dark blue sweater with a bundled horizontal stripe pattern across the chest and arms. The outfit couldn’t have been further from the professional threads she wore to greet me at the curbside. But this chilled out, casually dressed Bette was elusive to the rest of the world. I was honored that she was comfortable enough to let her guard down with me. I was also quite sure that it didn’t matter what she wore; Bette Porter would look good in a potato sack.
We continued our chit chat on the couch sitting right next to each other, practically in one another’s lap. Teasing each other and gently petting over the clothes helped us pass the time away until the oven alarm notified us that we were just about ready for dinner.
After setting the table and lighting a couple of candles in the centerpiece, we finally sat down to enjoy the first taste of domesticity. It was difficult to keep my hands to myself even as we ate. Like most nauseating couples at the beginning of their relationship, we fed one another and kissed in between bites and whispers of sweet nothings. I couldn’t remember ever having been as giddy about spending time with someone as I was when I spent time with her.

This is only a one-off. But I suppose if you’re keeping score, this could potentially be a second part to the last fic I posted.
I have so many unfinished story files sitting in my documents folder, it’s not even funny. I’ve realized that as I get older, the times when creativity and inspiration strike are fewer and farther between. Time is the great equalizer, but there never seems to be enough of it, especially when you’re struggling to find that healthy work-life balance.
I hope you are all doing well and are happy and healthy wherever you may be.
Cheers!

Hi, meloveslu! :D Thanks a lot for this lovely, fluffy, quite polished one-off! I’ve always loved your stories and I truly hope you’ll find the time and be inspired someday soon to put the finishing touches to your creative projects. And let me guess the identity of the third writer who “inspired” you to share this one-off. Is it BEG who broke her 11-month silence to post an update on “Home Again Part 2”? I heart that story and that writer too.
Thanks again and have a lovely, productive new work week! :D
meloveslu says
Fantastic guess MightyMouse! You should be a detective ;-)
Appreciate you reading. When I find time to finish some of these bad boys, hope you’ll be there with more of your wonderful flattery.
Xoxoxo

Hi, thanks for the story!
So, it’s second part of “20 years”? – good.
And about your comment – what are your three favorite writers, who posted last month? BenMac, Cella?
P.S. Interesting – how many comments will be about “Playing by heart”? :)
meloveslu says
Hey Zhenya!
Yep, I think it could be a follow-up to 20 Years since we don’t know where Bette is coming home from. I didn’t really plan it like that, but t seems like it works right?
You certainly named 2 of my 3 faves. I’ll let you do a little digging around to discover who else may be a favorite of mine ;-)
I’m willing to bet many of these comments will have some mention of PBH. It is definitely the largest unfinished file in my documents folder ????
Thanks for reading!

Hm, third author? Pie, skydancer, Valerie? ;-)
And of course, i would be happy if you can give proper final for your biggest story ( and maybe give inspiration another two writers with unfinished busines :) – kins40 and peculiar), but i understand that it might be difficult for you – too many time has gone and hard to get your mind back in storyline again.

Hi Meloveslu,
I am always happy when you find some time to post a story! And i hope you find the creativity and inspiration to post those unfinished stories. Maybe Playing by Heart?
I hope you find the right balance between work-life.
Thank you so much for sharing this story with us.
meloveslu says
Bibi!
Thanks so much for reading. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside when you come out and support my stories. I hope you’re right about getting some more inspiration. One of these days, I could surprise myself and finish up that story you’re asking about.
CellaNox says
Love the flow and pacing of your stories. And this one, what a sweet, elegant feel to it. I wish I had the writing chops to pull of a story in the in the first-person. You on the other hand, have mastered it. Outstanding, young lady.
meloveslu says
Oh please! Writing first person pales in comparison with the ability to weave an in depth plot line with serious subject matters that continually keeps the audience guessing as well as engaged.
But I will graciously accept your compliment and revel in the fact that you read my fluff anyway. Thanks!
wkm says
Always a good day when I get to read one of your stories. Thanks so much.
meloveslu says
You’re quite welcome, dear wkm! Thanks for being such a reliable reader!
izzie says
So glad you posted and like everybody else I’m hoping for more even though I understand the difficulty to write when life is hectic. Thank you !
meloveslu says

Merci d’avoir lu. Je ferai de mon mieux.
Hopefully Google translate got that right. LOL
Dainty says
Hello MELL, always enjoy your writing, hope we can get more of this one. Playing by Heart would be lovely as well.. Thanks for posting.
meloveslu says
Hi there, Dainty! Good to see you still coming back for my silly little fics! Thanks for reading!
SassyGran says
Great to see you posting again and I must add my pleas to the others for you to finish your stories where you have left us hanging wishing for more :-)
You know which ones they are!
Thanks for this please post again soon

Sassy! So glad to see you caught this one! I hear your dog whistle. It’s always in the back of my mind and occasionally an opened document on my macbook that just stares at me, daring me to write the ultimate ending. Just have to find that window of opportunity to seize the inspiration. It’s much harder than you would think,
SassyGran says
I am not unaware of how hard it is and appreciate very much your getting inspired and the time to put it into words.
Still would love you to find the inspiration and the time :-)
