I know, I know...What type of author am I? A bad one *sulks*. I do hope this short chapter makes up for it. Now that I do have time AND a set storyline, I think things will be radicool from here onwards.
Please, any suggestions or comments are welcome. Please be polite, though :)
Lina smiled at Beck and nodded, "Sounds good. I love to go shopping or grab coffee sometime with you." The class had ended and the two women had found much in common within the short three hours. Both women had a light sheen over their faces and chest, Beck's notably rising and falling bosom especially.
It was clear that Beck was of Nordic heritage. Lina was dead-set the opposite. There stood a tall, leggy, peaches and cream, crystal blue eyed, perfectly sculptured face and beautiful blond haired woman, and even without make-up, had all the perfect colouring and tones in her skin: pink, full lips, evenly colored skin with rosy cheeks and her lashes and brow darker to bring out her startling eyes.
Lina was small, or petite, as she preferred, with a toned and slightly curvy body, a caramel tone to her skin, thick brown hair, maroon eyes with thick black lashes and a pink full mouth, just like Beck. Maybe they did have that small thing in common, physically of course.
Lina couldn't figure out why she was comparing herself so much to this woman she just met, but shrugged as her mind delved deeply into her thoughts.
"So, where about's do you live?" Beck asked.
"A few blocks from here," Lina replied whilst picking her bag up, "I just walk to and from dance since I don't drive."
"Oh," Beck tilted her head and asked, "how come?"
Lina shrugged, "I'm not sure. I'm not that great at the whole…controlling a tonne of metal thing."
Beck chuckled and the two women left the building. The continued to chat happily, laughing at each others stories and comparing stories of their dancing careers.
"I live only a few blocks from here also, so I hope you don't mind me walking with you", Beck asked and Lina smiled.
"Sure, you can keep me company."
Conversation soon swung into relationships and Beck began to gush uncontrollably, "The man I'm seeing now, he's stunning! Has a wonderful career, a sexy body and a hot car!"
Lina could only pretend to listen because the image of Jack rose up in her thoughts. What was he doing right now? Did he light the apartment on fire? Was he wooing some whore on Lina's bed?
I'll cut off his pride and glory if he is, Lina thought heatedly.
"…And he owns a printing company, so he's loaded. But that's not important," Beck said with a small, fluttering laugh then asked, "Now, tell me about your boy! I'm sure you've got one!"
Lina continued at the steady pace without answering.
"Lina?"
"Huh?" Lina turned to look at Beck, only then noticing that she had finally stopped talking.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Beck asked curiously.
Lina thought for a moment then said, "Um, well, yes and no."
Beck grinned and playfully nudged her, "So that's a yes! So what's he like? Tell me everything!"
Lina sighed then began a shortened and altered story of the truth, "I'm seeing this guy who's a great guy I spose, he's got money, a car and can be very loving. We've been on-again-off-again since the end of high school."
Beck rose her eye brows, "Oh wow, so would you say it's serious now?"
Lina shrugged, "To be honest, not really. He hasn't really been himself for a few months now," Beck frowned at this as Lina continued, "but then there's this other guy."
A smile graced Lina's face as she continued to talk, "I've known him since I was a child. We were best friends up until I was about fourteen then he," she struggled for words then said, "moved away. We kind of kept in contact over the years, but now he's back and staying at my apartment since he hasn't got any friends or relatives around here."
Beck gave a grin, "Sounds like you've fallen for this old friend!"
Lina blushed instantly, "What? No! He's only been back for a day and I'm just helping him out."
Beck giggled then said, "Sure. I believe you. But think about it, who makes you all giddy and makes the clouds disappear when you're upset? The man who thinks he knows you, or the man who knows everything about you?"
Who is Beck? Oooh, you'll just have to wait and see because she plays a vital role!
RNR!!!
