darling, i've been nothing but busy busy busy lately.

A Freudian Slip~

Of course! 'Parapraxis', I'm very familiar. Though I know it better by it's more common name.

Oh, my~ Are you in need of a stroking, dear?

No, dear, absolutely not. Mommy's doing just wonderfully... In fact, I'll get started on dinner presently.

A deal unfulfilled. One party chose to step away before they could fulfill their proffered obligation. Litigious, 'her kind'. Very, very litigious.

"Oh, 𝘣𝘰𝘰. And now neither of us gets any release..." He could use some. Look at how quickly his temperature lowered, this was a man 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁. "I suppose that's you leaving, then. Ta ta~"

"Of course. 𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯." That is certainly a promise, though, and an enthusiastic one at that. "If you're so keen... you could always strike now?" Finger crooks & pulls her collar, topmost button threatens to pop right off. "Who'd know the difference?"

"You've only ever met one being in your entire life like me, and she was not 'of my kind'." The smile is gone now. Now, she's wearing a pout. "The World itself is not enough. It never will be. I'm doing the kind thing by playing soccer mom. Keeping the worst of myself at bay. You're welcome."

"Stole? I was given this body for the low price of asking, sir. Honey adores being outside the pit, being a mother, living a life... it's far more fun than the alternative." Her smile had soured some. 'Fake' was hurtful, she loved her family very much! "Why don't you believe me?"

New advertisement for my practice. Thoughts?

Ooh, she shivered there. Always lovely to hear your name after wearing another. "Do I seem wrathful to you, darling? Have you ever seen me anything but delighted?" A giggle then, stolen from another. "They didn't call me anything. They only ever wanted the fruits I bore. The knowledge I offered."

"Give or take. I do remember being on the Yangtze when rice was first cultivated..." Tapping her chin thoughtfully, humming sweetly at the memory. "I'm love. Purest, animalistic love. But they have another word for me in the books and songs. One they decry as a sin..."

'Not' falling into Temptation is so b o r i n g, though! Life is, always, much more fun when you let the sweet voice in your head win!

Well played, sir. I can see why you're so vaunted in your place of work. Okay... Well. I'm called Mella lately, that's M-E-Double L-A. I've been making trips to the human world for... well over seven millennia now. And my endgame for being on this plane is to have a good time!

Ooh, quite the bargain, and I've already been so foolish as to accept, haven't I? Oh, Mella, you silly little thing. You've done it again... Okay. Would you like to start somewhere specific, or shall I wax poetic?

It's quite a lot like this movie my daughter once showed me, '17 Again'... and who wouldn't take the chance to be college aged again?

I . . . feel as if I ought to be concerned.

Okay, thank you for the advice, beloved.

Truly? I love how malleable the English language is~ It's so... Fortnite!

❛ Oh, is it a violent computer game? My little angels are so enamored with it, I had no idea! ❜

Fun! I love a good swap meet. Terms accepted.

Oh, fine, be that way, grumpy man. I'll go ask someone else to help me.

oh! I'm sorry, dear, I don't know what half of those words you said mean. I understand 'game', though. Very interesting!

. . . it's a computer game? for your nintendo?

Beloved, can you help me out for a moment? What's 'fortnight' and why do my kids keep mentioning it to me?

Holding her close! Arms wrapping her waist, so she could nuzzle against the pretty thing. "How are you, darling?"

As if I'd ever send you away, pet? You're my sweetest smile, you know that.

It's quite a lot like this movie my daughter once showed me, '17 Again'... and who wouldn't take the chance to be college aged again?

Patting her lap. C'mere!

Oh, no! Forgive me, darling... what can I do to help?

/ no lie, it was this post reminding me of mella that gave me the courage to log back in

Here, kitty kitty~

I'd feel simply awful. Making a sweet thing like you yearn?

"Of course, dear! Go with God, and stay dry." Hers is beautiful too. Sharp at every edge; hungry like the wolf, as she turns, skips off into the driving rain.

"Oh, no! And now you're left in the rain, cold and alone. That's awful, my darling. Would you care for some company while you wait? I've an umbrella.

Look how the heart comes running once it's strings are plucked. "Hello, my darling. Why the long face?"

Oh. Oh, no, that's right. That's right! The blonde was a replacement. There was one before. Red of hair. Sharp of skill... What was her name, again?

Why lie? She knows full and well how his heart aches for a chipper blonde.

What's that look for? Don't tell me you missed me~

Oh! Oh, look, dear, look! The phone wasn't broken, it just wasn't charging! Oh, this is wonderful! I'll be able to see all my little friends again.

Sharing is caring, Pet. How else are we going to get you that threesome you keep dreaming about?

It's the mystery of it all, my love. The tension that's truly caught my breath.

Easy to manipulate? I'm afraid I am...

😇

memories~

I'm starting to think she's the one who'll be doing the catching... and I'm just a shiny thing in her pretty eyes.

Oh, my! To be in such demand... I'll be expecting a thief in the night very soon then.

Really? And how much do you really want what's mine, miss...?
