              ❛  let’s stay in today.  ❜  she’s mumbling, eyes heavy with sleep as she soaks up her lover’s warmth as if she’s cold-blooded. with a long drawn-out sigh, she shifts but makes no effort to move from the position she lay tucked in at the other woman’s side.

              there’s a small hum that slips out from her barely parted lips before she smiles.  ❛  we can order in and watch movies all day.  ❜  there’s a pause as she mulls over her next thought. at least this one’s certain to win manola over.

                                                          ❛ ...i’ll go topless.  ❜

THERE’S SOMETHING BIGGER GOING ON HERE.                                                           BIGGER THAN ME, BIGGER THAN YOU.

        ❛  i’m sorry.  ❜  the words leave her lips just above a whisper, though her tongue darts out quickly to follow after. remnants drip along her chin down to the parts of her chest that were exposed, coating her in the reddish hue with the precision of a seasoned artist. feeding had been easier and even cleaner now but those ugly bits of her, that rage, refused to dissipate entirely. this hadn’t been hunger, this had been something else.

         she refuses to meet the other woman’s eyes, her own dark and heavy as its stewed in her own ire, and stares plainly at the pile of limbs she’s left behind     had it not been for the clothes adorning the body’s torso it might not have even resembled a human. breast heaving despite the rigid set of her frame, she shakes her head and still refuses to meet the other’s gaze.

          ❛  i didn’t want to stop.  ❜  it’s the truth, plain as day. there’s no denying the monster lurking beneath her ribs.
