Author's Note: 244. That's the number of stories that were sitting on my hard drive collecting dust because I lack the energy and time to take care of them as I once did. My betaing pattern has always been to write, then type up if written on paper, the story, read it aloud to my beloved Jack and our children, editing as I go, and then finally format and post. Sadly, this part is simply taking too much of my time and energy, and my beloved Jack and I have too little time together in person these days to be able to keep up with my stories. So what to do? Give up writing? I actually considered it for a while, tried to make excuses to myself other than the large number of stories collecting cyber dust on my computer, as to why I lacked the energy and Muse to write new tales. And then, with the turn of the new year, I decided to stop running and face the problem. The problem is, quite frankly, that once one gets so bogged down in formatting and editing that writing is no longer a pleasure but the actual posting of those writings becomes a hassle and - egad! - work, it's time to cut something out, and that will never be the writing process. So, in short, yes, there will be mistakes in this tale. Yes, it's missing about half of the header information I usually include. But I wrote it for pleasure and am posting it in hopes of sharing that pleasure with others. Do with it as you will.
Blanche watched as Dorothy slid up to her. She was tired of her car being in the shop and having to wait for her lover to get off and come get her, but her reliance on Dorothy for a ride was coming in handy today. They had fussed last night, and their argument hadn't left Blanche's mind all day. She was about to put an end to all that, however, as Dorothy asked her as she did every day, "Going my way, beautiful?"
it was an old line that Blanche had shot down a million times in the past, but not today. She made Dorothy and every man present and watching her curves swallow their tongues as she sashayed to the curb and nearly purred, "Always."
Then she slipped into Dorothy's old car and kissed her lover square on the lips before God, envious mankind, and all the world. She pulled back afterwards, smiling her satisfaction at Dorothy's shocked expression and looking like the cat who'd just swallowed the last bit of milk in the house. Her dainty, little school teacher would never accuse her again of not wanting to be seen with her!
"Home," she commanded, breathlessly, afterwards.
"I can think of many other places I'd rather take you." Dorothy's eyes were glazed over from Blanche's passionate kiss, but as she started to lean back over to her, Blanche pulled away and wagged a finger.
"Uh uh, shugah. Home first; then, we'll do everything else." Dorothy hit the gas.
The End
