El Laughed A Little Bit As Alice Subtly Complimented Her. It Was Nice To Not Have To Worry About Anything

El laughed a little bit as Alice subtly complimented her. It was nice to not have to worry about anything or anyone when she was around. The other seemed keen on protecting her now, which she had been very grateful for. “Well good to know I haven’t been letting the late nights get to me.”

The young waitress nodded at her question, “Yeah. It’s not too bad though.” She noticed that Alice seemed a little preoccupied with looking around for something or someone, so she hesitantly slipped her hand into hers. “You’re gonna miss my street if you keep that up.” Was the only thing she said as she gently pulled the girl along to her apartment.

Ellie had worked at Donna’s Diner for nearly a year now. Working mostly the graveyard shifts she didn’t have many regulars, except her. Alice, the fiery woman that seemed to visit at least three times a week. She was quiet but she was always kind to El, even tipping generously. It had been three months since Alice began to visit, ordering the same meal every time, and every time the brunette found herself growing more and more excited to see her. Tonight wasn’t any different, it was your typical Wednesday. At least it was, up until Ellie’s ex showed up, the guy never been good to her and now was no exception. He came in to try and manipulate her back into the relationship but she knew better. He’d burned her too many times now for her to even think about going back. “I don’t want to go with you, Ronnie. First of all I’m at work, secondly? Do you not remember why I left you? I still have the scars to show for it.” The day she had left didn’t end well for her, the drug addict went berserk. They were in his car and he’d started freaking out, because she said she didn’t wanna se him anymore, and ultimately the he ran a light and the car was totaled. The pair barely made it out and she had no intentions of going back anytime soon. She made eye contact with Alice as Ronnie seemed to reach over the counter to grab Ellie’s hand. Maybe she’d call the cops, though she seems the type to handle it herself.

El was comfortable with Alice. It felt like they’d known each other forever, which clearly they hadn’t. In the dim light outside her building it was hard to tell hit Ellie was sure Alice was blushing, which caused her to grin. She had the same effect on her.

As she spoke of tomorrow, the girl nodded. “Yeah, I’ll see you tomorrow night.” But it was her next words that had her voice wavering when she spoke up. “H-how do you know? He always, always comes back.” It was true. He’d been in the diner a few other times, simply trying to get under her skin.

A small gasp left her lips as she was pulled away from the walkway and into the wall. Alice caged her in, hand moving up to tuck some of the girls fallen ponytail back behind her ear. It caused that same blush to creep up from her neck to the tips of her ears. “Do you want to come in for a, for a drink?” She hesitated some but only because she was worried she was seeing something that Alice wasn’t.

Bruises and Bruising

WORDS

“Where did you get those?”

“Is that…. somebody’s hand?”

“Is that… a bootprint?”

“It’ll look worse before it looks better.”

“Come on. Let’s get it wrapped up.”

“Do you want some painkillers?”

“Let me guess, I should ‘see the other guy’?”

“How’d you get a black eye?”

“I know you don’t do it on purpose, but I wish you’d stop coming home bruised.”

“I like the new look. It suits you.”

“Ouch, that looks like it hurts.”

“Talk to me.”

“You shouldn’t end up with bruises because you disagree with them. You know that, right?”

“Will you tell me how it happened?”

“Come and sit with me.”

ACTIONS

(send ‘+reverse’ to reverse the roles, or specify which muse is which!)

[sit] – sender comes and sits next to a bruised receiver. no words, just warmth.

[care] – sender provides physical care for receiver’s bruises (ice pack, wrapping them up, etc)

[shower] – sender takes one look at a bruised and bloody receiver, and goes to run them a shower. hot showers fix everything.

[offer] – sender has something they know receiver will want, and because receiver has had a bad enough day as it is, sender gives it to them. it’s the little things.

[stay] – sender offers receiver a place to stay, so that – wherever they got these bruises – they don’t have to go back.

[concussion] – sender checks receiver for a concussion, because it’s very possible receiver has one.

[home] – sender has no physical way of helping receiver out of this situation, but they offer out their hand anyway. just to hold onto (and to not let go).

It was perfect. The way Alice seemed to know exactly what Ellie liked as she deepened the kiss shocked the younger girl. A small whine left her lips as she felt the hand around her neck. Alice was perfect, this kiss was perfect. The brunette pulled away slowly, simply because she deemed it time to go inside. “Let’s take it inside, yeah?” A shy smile adorning her lips as she spoke.

Ellie slipped out of Alice’s hood and moved to unlock her door for the two of them. She turned back to the woman, reach for her hand to drag her inside the apartment. She hadn’t had anyone over since Ronnie, so she was definitely nervous. After closing the door behind her, she stood to the side nervously. “Did you want something to drink?” Their actions outside had nearly made her forget the whole point of her coming inside.

Soon Ellie’s shift had ended and she found herself locking up with Alice standing beside her. It definitely put her at ease to have the other there. Mostly because she was sure if not, Ronnie would be lurking in the shadows. “So you haven’t been coming for our delicious food?” She spoke up as they moved away from the door. The young girl had he bag thrown over her shoulder and a hoodie in her arms. The simple uniform she was wearing didn’t do much to cover her up but she felt safe with Alice, so she didn’t feel the urge to slip the fabric over her head.
