Heaven In My Hell

o

My heart starts thumping and my hands start to sweat
This is the closest thing to heaven that I'm ever gonna get

If Maureen had believed in a God, she knew she would be going to hell.

The town she had grown up in was a tight-knit Bible town and so she knew, after many tedious religion classes, exactly what the Bible said about women like her. Women who slept around and cheated on their boyfriends. Women with loose morals and tight clothes.

And here she was again, not only cheating, but cheating with another woman. Two terrible sins at once; part of her wondered what those little old ladies from church would think.

But she couldn't make herself really care.

Maureen couldn't concentrate on anything but the gorgeous woman in front of her. This woman who was so many different things blended together into perfection. She could be intelligent and sassy, when it was necessary, but also mysterious and sultry at the right times.

Just the sight of her made Maureen's hands sweat, and her touch sent shivers up and down the actress's spine. And her kiss…her kiss was sweet, but electrifying at the same time. It made her body jolt and her heart beat faster than it ever had with anyone else before her.

This is what heaven was; Maureen was certain of this. And if it wasn't, it was closest she was ever going to get. And she was okay with this.

Because if Maureen had believed in a God, she would have willingly traded the real thing for just a moment of the heaven she found within Joanne's arms.
