Hello Kitty Vibes
He's looking at the bed, and she knows he's thinking about the bed. Sometimes you can just see someone's thoughts racing across their eyeballs. He's mentally bouncing up and down to test the mattress, then pulling back the covers and dragging her in beside him to have his wicked way.
She shivers and panics and wishes she'd never brought him back here.
"Look," she says, "You know that thing the other day, where you said you were in love with me and that you wanted me real bad, you remember the thing?"
He nods eagerly.
"I just want you to forget about that, okay? It's not going to happen."
He looks confused.
"I don't want that kind of thing. I can't handle that kind of thing."
She wished he didn't have to look so wounded.
"This bed isn't made for that kind of thing. It's not one of those hey baby, let's go, steamy night of passion kind of beds. Look how the blankets are all churned up like that, that's because I was just curled up in a ball right there a few hours ago, staring at the ceiling. And there's Mars Bar wrappers too. To your left are some books that I tried to read but just abandoned because the words were too big, then I accidentally rolled over on top of them during the night and made the pages go all dog-eared. Under the covers you will find the Hello Kitty vibrator tossed aside, my heart just wasn't in it. If you lay down you'd feel some poppy seeds press into your back, even through I know the bed isn't the place to eat bread rolls. And you see those dead tissues, they're all crumpled up with tears and snot when I was laying there feeling sorry for myself. And right at the bottom where the sheets tuck in, there's a bunch of grotty old socks that I kicked off in the middle of the night when my feet got too hot."
He looks even more confused.
"Don't you see how wrong this is? I am quite happy being miserable and I don't want you barging in and ruining it. I just want this bed to be for me to hide under the covers and wallow. I cry in there! I fart and scream and sing! I don't want you thinking about me or looking at me or wanting me. I don't want you, or anyone at all, to come any closer.
"Please understand. You don't want to be here. Not with me. So please just go? Okay?"
But he just sits there.

I'm liking it! You do have your wicked way with words. And at 33.5K of 'em, there's so much more to read, so gimmit!
Love your stuff! That long wait between Friday's and Tuesday's entry was almost too much to bear.
So there.
you have a Hello Kitty vibrator? That is so astonishingly unfailingly cool - it has made it into the "coolest thing i have heard today" file.
Shauny, it's good.
The vague idea I had for my nanowrimo novel keeps teasing at the back of my head. I keep half-saying 'maybe next year', then realising that I'm going to be writing my sodding thesis in november next year. Bah humbug.
We need to have a cafe-writing-session some time. Let me know.
BILL it's fiction, you nong! my vibrator is not half as fancy!
miss dee - you're on baby! now school is out you have no excuse :P
the comment i just made was fiction, also.
except for the dee bit! i do want to meet miss dee.
More more!! And your story about your mother on Sunday was great too! When are you going to put together a book you talented girl?
Damn about it being fiction... I know someone who collects Hello Kitty anything. What a Christmas present that would make!
buy one of your own! http://node.to/~mark/hello.html well, you could, but isn't ebay second hand stuff? *shudder*
oops,
WOW! That was sooooooooooooo way cool. More more more!
There ARE hello kitty vibrators! SHE just doesn't have one. HER vibrator is called Mr. Shakey II and I know all of these things because...well...I think I should be going now.
Perfectly righteous, m'dear, perfectly good. (And I guess it makes perfect sense to just redirect the archive links like you did but I don't know where you did it from.)
Whoa, trippy! In a non-"Twin Peaks" kinda way, of course.
More! Please. =)
Awesome piece of writing - so much baggage - so many directions it could go.
It beats the heck out of the one I did with the goths, dear. :)
I am so going to read the whole thing.
Weren't we supposed to get together and write? Wah?
I've had a story idea floating around for a while. I thought about doing it for nanowrimo, but was way too swamped when it started.
Now I've got bugger-all to do, maybe I should unofficially go for it. Reckon I could get 50,000 words in ten days, Shauny? :Þ
Oh dear Shauny, my dear dear Shauny, you're ever so delightful. I'm very serious when I tell you this could be published. Tons better than any drivel Michael Crichton's been putting out over the last five years :P
And I just saw your advice on what to do with holes in the plot of my nanonovel. Another good one is to have a gaping hole in the plot, and then a character asks about it, and another character shrugs and says, "Poetic license."
Works for "A Polish Vampire in Burbank." It can work for you, too:)
I like it.. It's at once funny and touching. Keep it up.
That's excellent, Shauny - really lovely stuff. So do they get together in the end?
Wow!
...
Wow!
this is really good. I like how you start in the middle of the story,it creates immediate action, but doesn't confuse. When are you going to write in oD again? : (
Hello Kitty vibes can be purchased at www.babeland.com, FYI.
Oh, Shauna, I think I love you!
awe.... I soooooo love the fact that you used the word "fart!" that is sooooo way gross but... it is so very true, isn't it?? how nasty... true to life... yuck... well done...
wow.
I wanted to do the 'WOW' thing but somebody beat me to it.
So...
You have a fabulous talent Shauna...and looks like a marketable one. You already have your readers in place.
Go ahead and write, write, write! I will buy your book.
Nessajane
i hereby pre-order the printed novel, miss shauny.
well, come to think of it, I knew about Mr Shakey II as well, (I've also been reading pussycat for long enough to know about Mr Shakey I so nyer) nyer nyer nyer and suck poo.
ps shauny you rock my world.
Shauny, Excellente senorita!! Su cama es salsa y está allí ser utilizada para el rumpy-pumpy!
Yeah, what he said. Without the faux-Spanish.
ok, ITS NOT A HELLO KITTY VIBRATOR! I READ JAPANESE! I KNOW THIS. ITS A MASSAGER. FOR BACKS.
god, stupid people give japanese people a bad reputation.
a massager. that's what it says on the package of EVERY VIBRATOR.
oh just a massager? cause a massaging tool that's small than a quarter works wonders on the back...
Welcome to the real world buddy. Oh and the back massager your mom had...also a vibrator.
No, it's a back massager. On EVERY VIBRATOR they get into detail about what it can do. Plus it's less than six inches long. And not very thick. please!
