Falling for You

September 1996

Warning - allusions to sex

Song - I heard love is blind by Amy Winehouse

I hadn't seen Timothée since we broke up and at first it was hell but all my friends comforted me. About two weeks ago my friends took me out on my first night out in ages. Naturally I got absolutely hammered.

Just my luck, I met a guy in the club who looked so much like Timothée. He had the same colour eyes, same wavy hair and more or less the same build. He didn't have the accent but hey ya can't have it all.

I had sex with him that night, the whole time my eyes were shut and I was imagining it was Timothée but convincing myself that what I was doing was moving on.

The guy, Tom, was really into me so we swapped numbers and soon started dating. He would ask me why I shut my eyes during sex and I dismissed him by saying that I feel it more profoundly when my eyes are closed.

The poor lad was nice enough. He came to all my shows and never questioned my neediness. But he wasn't Timothée and that was a huge flaw. Still I continued to convince myself that dating Tom was good for me.

I mean, all my friends liked him. And he didn't have to inevitably move to New York at the end of the year.

Tom said he was taking me for a surprise for a Saturday night date. We ended up at this show.
"Whattaya think? I know you like photography so I thought this'd be cool."
"Oh yeah this is great baby." I kissed him on the cheek. "Great idea."

We walked around. A little tick in my head kept wondering if this was Timothée's show but none of the photos were credited to him so I suppose I was just getting my hopes up.

That was until I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Y/n?"
"Oh my god Timothée."
He looked absolutely divine, hair gelled, blue suit and his lips as kissable as ever.
"What're you doing here?"
"It's my friends show so I'm uh...showing my support." As he spoke I felt his eyes wander down my body.

Tom coughed.
"Oh uh Timothée this is my friend-"
"Boyfriend."
"Uh yeah my boyfriend Tom. Uh Tom this is Timothée an old friend."
"Pleasure to meet you Tom." Said Timothée extending his hand to shake.

"I'm here with my girlfriend as well actually." He bragged.
"Oh? Where is she."
"That's her over there." He pointed with his non champagne glass holding hand. "In the red dress."

She was a blonde woman squeezed into a tacky tight red dress with her breasts nearly spilling out of the sweetheart neckline.

"Yeah ain't she a beaut, name's Diane."
"Yes she does look...lovely. Uh Tom darling will you excuse us a moment I just wanna catch up with my old pal." I said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Sure thing darling." He pecked a kiss on my cheek and wandered off into the party.

Me and Timothée began a stroll of our own.
"So...Diane seems nice."
"Truth is I'm just sleeping with her, course she doesn't know that. She's as clingy as a moth to a flame."
"Hm so you enjoying doing...that with her?"
"Oh yes," he exclaimed. "Have you seen her? She also lets me do whatever I want to her."

He was trying to get a rise out of me I thought. I wasn't about to let him.
"Hmm I see Tom's much the same...massive dick."
Timothée gulped.
"Really?"
"Oh yeah, our sex life is amazing."
"As is mine."
"Well it's nice to know we're both satisfied." I said before taking a long sip of my champagne looking him directly in the eye.

I felt his eyes, once again, trailing my body. I smiled up at him confidently. He began to walk again and I followed.
"I do, however, refuse to believe you and Tom." He said the name with not so subtle hatred. "Have better sex that me and Diane."

"Oh and why's that.?"
He continued to lead me to quieter parts at the back of the showroom.
"Simple, we're just better. I can go 4 rounds in a row."
"Ha Tom can go five." Total lie, total and utter lie.
"I can make her cum within a minute."

"Hm I doubt that. She's probably faking it."
At that moment he slammed me against the wall one hand above my head.
"Try me."
I was absolutely speechless.
He leaned in and kissed me. I let him slip his tongue in my mouth and his hands on my hips. My hands grabbed and pulled on his hair.

A/N : Oo bet ya didn't expect the 2 month skip.
