Feral Daydreams 🎀

Release in the Alley (🍋)

In the heart of a bustling metropolis, Larisa, a professional dancer and choreographer, strode confidently along the busy streets. Her warm, tanned skin glowed against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers and neon lights, while her striking platinum blonde hair, half-shaved and styled short, caught the attention of passersby. With a white crossbody bag slung casually over her shoulder, she exuded an effortlessly chic and approachable presence.

Pausing to catch her breath, Larisa stopped at a quiet corner, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and lit one up. As she inhaled deeply, she couldn't help but think about the chaos she had left behind at work. The constant demands, the never-ending criticism, and the unrealistic expectations had pushed her to the brink. She needed an escape – a release from the stress that threatened to consume her.

With a sigh, she reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. Her fingers danced across the screen as she typed a message to her girlfriend, Verbena.

"Hey, babe. Can you meet me at our usual spot? Work was a nightmare, and I need some TLC."

Within moments, her phone buzzed with a reply.

"Of course, love! I'll be there as soon as I can. Want me to bring anything?"

Larisa smiled at the thoughtfulness of her girlfriend. She knew Verbena would be there for her, no matter what. And that's what made their relationship so special.

As she waited for Verbena, Larisa took another drag of her cigarette, her gaze sweeping over the crowd of people that rushed by. She couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt for those who had contributed to her miserable day. The thought of confronting them, of standing up for herself, filled her with a surge of determination.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder, and she turned to find Verbena standing before her, her warm, golden skin and curly red hair a welcome sight.

"Hey, love. You look like you could use a hug."

Larisa wrapped her arms around Verbena, feeling the warmth and love that radiated from her girlfriend. As they embraced, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her.

"Ugh, work was a nightmare. I swear, some people just don't know how to treat others with respect."

Verbena frowned, her amber eyes filled with concern. "What happened, babe? Tell me, and maybe I can help."

Larisa hesitated for a moment, unsure if she wanted to relive the painful memories of her day. But then, she remembered the strength and support that Verbena provided, and she knew she could confide in her.

"It was just one thing after another. People talking over me in meetings, dismissing my ideas, and making unreasonable demands. By the end of the day, I was ready to quit."

Verbena's frown deepened, and she took Larisa's hand in hers. "That sounds awful, love. How can I make it better?"

Larisa looked into Verbena's eyes, her determination returning. She knew what she needed – a release, a way to let go of the anger and frustration that had built up inside her.

"I need you to help me forget, Verbena. I need you to remind me why I put up with all of this bullshit."

Verbena's eyes widened, and she nodded, understanding the unspoken request.

Larisa led Verbena by the hand, her eyes scanning the area for a suitable location. She needed a place where they could be alone – a place where they could let go of their inhibitions and lose themselves in each other.

As they turned a corner, Larisa spotted an empty, dark alleyway, the perfect place for them to escape the world and its problems.

She pulled Verbena into the alley, her heart pounding with excitement and anticipation. The darkness enveloped them, creating a sense of intimacy and seclusion that Larisa craved.
