Love & Romance ~ A study of Intimacy

Chapter 8

"Welcome back"

"Hey, how's the practice going?"

"It's going good! Just started chapter one!"

"Oh? Wanna tell me about it?" I grinned, knowing he was going to like who I paired together. He really liked knights of the heavenly blade and Gerald was by far his favorite character.

"Well, I decided to use Gerald and Jasmina from knights to practice with. Since Jasmina's a virgin and all, it was a good opportunity to practice slow and romantic sex writing. It's so sweet. I'm almost a little jealous of Jasmina."

As Lee turned around to raise an eyebrow at me, I pointed at him. "Don't you dare make fun of me! A single woman like me is allowed to dream and be jealous of fiction!"

"Uh-huh" Lee pressed his lips together, failing to hide an amused smirk. I pouted at him, making him laugh.

"Well Gerald will definitely treat her well. Jasmina needs it to be slow and sweet." I nodded. Lee knew the characters as well as I did, which made me glad that he was my manager.

"Right." Lee finally finished putting everything away and handed me a bag of fast food before excusing himself to check out the place. Apparently, he had never been in the cabin and wanted to check the place out. Yes he called out that there was a second bedroom, I smiled. At least he wouldn't have to sleep on the couch.

I ate my food and direct at perfecting the section I had written. While what I started which was ok, I needed to add visual aesthetics, such as the light of her room, this smell of the candles, and everything that helped set the mood. The room was often an overlooked part of any story that many writers passed up on. I, however, knew better. A simple rustle of the bedsheets could make or break the tension while the smell of sweat needed to be controlled by the temperature of the room and of the people within it. There was a lot of work that went into writing you had to be a director, the painter, a choreographer, a designer, a technician, and a god all at once. It was tiring to say the least.

Did they quickly drifted into the night as I finish the details of the scene. Lee, as he said he would, cooked and passed me dinner. He had never cooked for me before so to try his cuisine was a nervous adventure. However, at the first bite, he sold me. His food was absolutely divine and I had to fight a moan from the first taste that hit my tongue. He laughed and ate his food, promising to cook as well during the following week.

Everything seems perfect and helped accentuate the romance between Gerald and Jasmina tenfold. I smiled as I read over what I wrote before I close my computer and letting out a yawn. I quickly left the front room and entered the bedroom, shedding my clothes and changing into sleep wear. As I crawled into bed, the idea of my growing story slowly crept into my thoughts and plagued my mind.

I was just starting. Who knew where this progress was going to go.
