The Darkness Between

Brittany glanced nervously over at her date, Nick or Mick or whatever, and felt dread sink into her stomach like a canon ball. He was giving her the look. The one that said put out or get out, and she had no intention of putting out. High school was far behind her, and she just wasn't that kind of girl, anymore.

Nick or Mick leered at Brittany's low-cut sweater and leaned close.

"Time to get to know each other better, babe."

"Um... I'd like to go home now, please."

Nick or Mick frowned.

"We just got here."

Brittany pressed her lips together and gave him her best glare.

"I'd like to go home. Now."

Angry, Nick/Mick grabbed her shoulders and began forcing her on her back. Brittany's arms flashed out, grabbed his biceps in an iron grip and pulled him, head first, into her cleavage.

For an eternal moment, all was still. Then a loud keening filled the car as Nick/Mick flailed his arms and kicked his legs, but was unable to escape. Almost all at once, he was sucked into the cleft of Brittany's cleavage.

All was silent.

A loud belch sounded from between Brittany's breasts. Then, a small voice:

Pardon me.

Brittany smiled fondly and brushed her hair out of her eyes.
