She wore fishnets, and a red dress split to her hip, and dark smoky eyes full of promises that made Gina press her legs together. She leaned on the bar beside Gina's stool, lifted a cigarette to red, red lips, and smiled.

"Hi," she said, exhaling a puff of smoke. "All by yourself?"

Even her voice was amazing, dark chocolate over knives. Gina licked her lips. "Yes."

"Shame," she said, stubbed the cigarette out, and trailed her fingers up Gina's arm. "A girl like you shouldn't be alone."

She was fire, and right now, Gina was happy to get burned.

GO AWAY VANESSA.

But this is gorgeously written, all the powerful imagery in such a small space--I especially love "dark chocolate over knives", and that last line! Wonderful job. It gave me the shivers.

SERIOUSLY.

I was trying to convey how dangerous she was and how attracted Gina was to that danger-- I'm glad it seems to have worked. Thanks!

What a perfect picture of a person who sets every alarm in your head clanging, even as you can't resist engaging with them.

By which I mean, I kind of want to leap bodily between Gina and Vanessa and shout a big, dramatic "Noooo!"

[bookblather]

That is an appropriate response, oh yes. And I'm glad that's your reaction: it's precisely the one I wanted to evoke. Thank you!

Lovely imagery. Too bad the relationship ended up the way it did.

[bookblather]

Seriously. Well, when you date somebody evil, it tends to end badly.

Thank you!

Dark chocolate over knives. That line alone makes the piece sing.

[bookblather]

Thank you so much-- that's the one line I wasn't sure about.

[whatawaytoburn]

Ohhhh, this was pretty. Pretty and dangerous and sharp. I'm getting the feeling nothing good comes from it.

[bookblather]

You would be correct there. Vanessa is a scary, scary person.

Thank you so much.

GOOD USE OF THE CHALK.

I can hear herrrrrrrrrrrr.

[bookblather]

It was PERFECT for her. And awesome. This was one of my "try to be like SWL" stories, so I'm glad you liked it. :D

Stilllllll blushing.

Until it gets violent, anyway.

Thanks!
