Another Late Friday Fill-In
Sunday, September 27, 2009
1. One week ago I was locked up. I was preparing for the letdown, because there's no way life can be this great. I've been waiting for the other foot to drop, as it always does. I've been taught to always proceed with caution, build up walls, and protect myself. Yet, for once, I'm having to reach my hands out, open the door, and lower my shields.

2. I dreamed about you when I was young. Always knew that someday you'd get here. I knew that the right person would find me in the end, though somewhere along the way I lost that naivety. I gave up, settled, until you came to me, offered your hand.

3. Mama told me to practice patience when it came to love, because rushing things would get me nowhere. I failed to listen, and wound up hurt, just like Mama warned. As I sat at the kitchen table, nursing my broken heart and swearing "never again", Mama told me to practice patience and perseverance, because eventually my wounds would heal. I shook my head, there was no way I could trust again. Mama hid her smile behind her coffee cup. As I slowly began to let myself unwind, you extended your hand. Cautiously taking it, I had to hide my own smile while you spoke of your patience, waiting for me to finally open my blinded eyes.
Mama always told me to practice patience.

4. Let's run away you and me. Let's get lost among the crowd, disappear into our own world.

5. Take your time, because good things come to those who wait.

6. It will pass! Just breathe.

Friday Fill In
Saturday, September 19, 2009
1. My car purrs like a kitten.

2. Your turn is coming up next. The world's been waiting.

3. Lately, things seem perfect.

4. Beneath the covers is one of my favorite 'hiding' places. The world can't get in and nothing exists, but the two of us.

5. What happened before doesn't matter. Our pasts do not make our future, do not define us, our relationship. You are not he, nor am I she.

6. Trust is not impossible!

1. That's a wonderful thing to be, in love, that is. I'm so glad to see the sparkle return to your eyes. It's such a relief that you've been able to piece yourself back together after he tore you apart.

2. Why are you going that way, you dumb lug; I'm over here!

3. The possibilities include: fighting for everything you've ever wanted or giving up and letting her walk away. And, I hate to tell you this, bud, but I don't think she's going to come back if you leave her again. I don't think she'll be able to handle it.

4. Chicken and Dumplings, just like Momma used to make, is one of my favorite cool day recipes.

5. How will you know that it's really over, if you don't try to make it last? Look at me, Perce. Is she worth it?

6. The empty apartment echoes the thunder and is lit only by the flickering candles and a stormy sky, as Elsie slowly enters. She blinks, taking it in, surprised to see that he is standing in front of her.
"I thought you were leaving for Boston, today." She whispered, taking a small step towards the man she loved.
"I didn't go. Didn't want to go. Not leaving you." Percy stepped closer to her, cupping Elsie's cheek with his palm.
"But your job? I thought it was your chance to prove yourself."
"Fuck my job. I only want you. I made the mistake of putting my job first before, and I thought I lost you. Thought you were gone forever." He tilted his head, kissing her. "I don't want to make that mistake again."

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Sleep, tomorrow my plans include Homework and working the concessions for the football game, and Sunday, I want to Finish my homework and go to rehearsal!
