Disclaimer: this is a long story that I will post in multiple parts. There is extensive character and story building. If you are looking for a quick read, I suggest you don’t start this one. But if you like back story and character development then proceed. Please feel free to tell me what you thought after you are done reading. I love feedback.
She led me in by my shoulders and sat me down on her couch. I was still crying. I saw the stains my eye liner made on my blue night gown. Had I driven down here in my night gown? Had I driven down here? I had no recollection of any events after Tom rolled off of me. I had no recollection of the hours since, of the drive between my house and Selina’s.
We didn’t talk. I just rested on her shoulder and cried. She stroked my hair and patted my back. I was glad I was with her. With her I was safe. With her I was loved. With her I belonged. That safety and comfort glided over me like a blanket and it encompassed me and eased my thought. She smelled good. She always smelled good. My face resting on her soft skin. She was the only person that made me feel loved.
