Noodles

Eliza got up from the bed slowly, and wrapped the sheets about her because she realized that she had not thrown them off of her. She assumed that Victoria was gone, and that this was Oscar at the door. It was mid-afternoon, but he was there because she told him what was going on. He […]

Tantrum

Eliza wanted to stamp her feet like she was having a temper tantrum, and she had never even done that when she was a child. But what Victoria had told her about her mother and father made her irrationally angry. She was filled with rage, and she had nowhere to place it. She had not […]

Wicked Wednesday #341 — Song Title

A tune played in her head, and Eliza did not know the song title. It was a song that she, Terrence and Jeanne had sung tipsily while at the cafe the first time she and Jeanne had met. It had been a good night, and before her accident, she had been so happy at her […]

Wicked Wednesday #307 — Million Dollars

“You look like a million dollars,” Adrien said to Eliza as they settled into a Japanese restaurant reminiscent of their time doing so in Paris. They had eaten out a lot, and most of the time it was sushi. Eliza smiled, it had been very surprising to see Adrien. She knew his face instantly, but […]

Wicked Wednesday #306 — Travel (Flashback)

I totally am always up to challenge myself with a new prompt from Marie, whether it goes along with my story plot or not!!! This week however, I think to continue with Eliza’s story since she has done a bit of traveling…and traveled a lot mentally last week while she was having a cappuccino with […]

Wicked Wednesday #305 — Catastrophe

“It could have been a catastrophe!” Sally exclaimed, her wide smile both warm and menacing at once. Eliza smiled, and took a sip of her cappuccino—they made sure not to have drinks this time so they could really have a conversation. The brocade curtains gave a Victorian feel to the busy Greenwich Village street. Eliza […]

Wicked Wednesday #304 — Night Out

It had been a hell of a night out, Eliza thought as she pressed her head to Oscar’s shoulder. He had walked her to the door of her apartment building, and pulled her close. He pressed a kiss to her temple, and they looked at each other for a very long time before he walked […]

Wicked Wednesday #303 — (Not) Sad

Eliza was not sad about Oscar and Sally. First off she had no right to be. Before this most recent incarnation of their intimate relationship, she had been telling Oscar about Terrence. And now they were at an intimate lounge with Sally–so she better not be. Oscar had gotten up from the table to get […]

Wicked Wednesday #302 — Games

Oscar did not want to play games with Eliza. He took her to their bar, and Josephine looked at him because even now as hostess she had bartending intuition. Oscar gave Josephine a generous smile, that was far from how he had felt. Eliza had not observed the exchange, and when he told her about […]

Wicked Wednesday #301 — Coffee

Coffee? Oscar felt heat go through his fingers, after he read the text from Eliza. He put the phone down, knowing he was going to answer her later. Now, Sally was naked, her hand between her legs and her eyes on him because she wanted him there. That was a quiet message from her as […]
