Host note: Each flash will be posted to its own chapter. They're all stand-alone, though staff are obviously free to continue them later if they wish. These were written as a gift to the readers of the contest, and as a way for the contest staff to see their favourite prompts fic'd. Thanks to Packy for the awesome idea! Each contributor has taken time out of their day to write these, so leaving them some love in the form of a review would be much appreciated.
Enjoy!
Scratch
I get out of the shower and run a towel through my hair before wrapping it around my waist. Tanya should be here soon, and I don't want her to catch me shirtless right now. I turn slightly and admire the long gashes in the skin on my back.
Man, last night was fucking perfect. It was even better than I had imagined it would be. I shouldn't have been imagining it at all given the circumstances, but I never could resist the pull. After last night, I'm glad I didn't. Sure, things might get messy for a while, but I'm done denying myself what I truly want, who I truly want.
The doorbell rings, just as I'm pulling on my jeans. Shit, Tanya's here already. I grab the shirt from my bed and walk toward the door. I open it and invite her inside, pulling the shirt over my head at the same time. I turn and realize my mistake when I hear her gasp.
"Oh my God, Eddie. What happened to your back?" she asks.
"It's nothing, Tanya. We can talk about it over dinner," I respond, grabbing my wallet, cell phone and keys.
I lock the door and walk ahead of Tanya to my car, opening the door for her. I wait for her to pull her legs in and then close the door and round the front to the driver's side.
My phone pings in my pocket, and I open the most recent text. I can't help the smile forming on my face.
You're going to break up with her right? – B
Of course – E
I think back to last night and what happened between us. Now I just have to break up with Tanya. I send one more text before getting in the car.
Any idea how I should tell your sister that you were awesome in bed and the scratches on my back are from you? - E
