A/N: Thanks to those of you that reviewed my first chapter. I'm glad this story has caught the interest of some readers out there! Please keep the reviews coming…..let me know your thoughts and what not!
Disclaimer: Sadly, Christopher is still the only owner of Inception, but I have this master plan of talking him in to sharing with a crazed fan!
Ariadne's fingers drummed against the soft mattress, her thoughts taking her to and from reality more and more. Thoughts of the job. Of her other workers. Of the point man…..her point man.
Frustration taking hold of her, Ariadne threw her body forward, grabbing the phone on her bedside table. She quickly dialed the number she had come to know by heart.
"Please pick up," she whispered gently into the darkened room.
"Please leave your message after the beep…'beep'" his voicemail spoke robotically.
"Hey, it's me…..I really need to talk with you…..please call me back…."
Her phone slid from her ear, and just as quickly as she pressed talk, she ended the call. Her heart sank deeper into the pit of her stomach. She had no one to turn to, no one who could understand what she had just experienced, no one except him. But even he wasn't around right now.
Trying to rid herself from her thoughts, Ariadne crawled out of bed, slid on her slippers, and walked to the kitchen. Tea had always calmed her in the past, and she was hoping that now, in the present, even with everything that had happened, her body would take one sip of the tea and feel the calming sensation it had once felt before.
Setting her favorite brown and pink mug on the counter, she poured scalding water into it, and then placed the tea bag slowly in. She watched as the water transformed colors right before her eyes, just as her life had with one inception mission.
And just like the tea, there was no going back.
A/N: So what do you think? Should the chapters be longer? Am I keeping you wanting more? REVIEW and let me know. Thanks, lovelies!
P.S. I'm also thinking about adding in the other characters more, especially the ever so charming, completely sophisticated Eames. Yay or Nay?
