Thread: Into the Shadows  (Sarah & Linda)

Oh.... her voice trailed off, a thoughtful look crossing her face as she processed the new information before the smile returned to her lips......well ...that... the words coming slowly as her thoughts ran back over their conversation to date to see if she could remember any fauxpas she might have made. ..is......er ...wonderful her eyes brightening up once the realization crossed her mind that she indeed had not made any serious blunders. Chere listened quietly to Linda as she shared about her background. Her fingers pressingon a small bamboo stick delivered with her drink and she kept her eyes strictly focused on Linda's eyes as she slowly turned the piece of bamboo in her drink. Strange, Chere thought as she could not understand why or what about this woman caused an unsettling stir deep inside her. Normally, Jennifer was always in control, very assured of herself, but here and now, she felt unsettled and somehow felt a bit, what was the words she was looking for, undressed as the woman's eyes, obviously with intent, worked their way down the gapping in her dress as if stroking the rise of the side of her breasts that peaked from either edge of her gown. A thought of maybe she should have been a little more discrete with her choice of clothing, but Brad had insisted she wear the dress and almost had become sullen when she had raised any concerns. With all the thoughts and feelings swirled in her mind and emotions, Jennifer realized that she had expected a boring evening but instead had found herself sitting and talking with Linda and considering they had just met and she barely knew the woman, Jennifer unconsciously, her free hand slid down and tugged the unruly dress to close the slit the best she could while she fought the urge to reach up and pull the edges of her dress over the swells of her exposed skin. When Linda finished, Chere smiled and nodded......I am afraid I dont know very much Russian.. she appeared to be almost a bit embarrassed to admit it..... I was born in New York City, my parents traveled a lot, I lived out of suitcases most of my life and never really had a permanent home. I cant tell you how many schools I have been in and because of it, it took me 2 extra years to graduate since the paperwork from my last school was always delayed getting to my new school...so most of the time, I was set back..and had to catch up as best I could before having to move to the next school and starting all over again. just a tinge of seeming regret andor anger filtering into her voice. I met Brad at one of my father's parties...and we sort of just took off and got married and I really havent seen my parents since.... I was very young at the time, a bit naive on the ways of wife and womanhood...and had to learn a lot on my on.... she suddenly realized she had been rambling and jerked her gaze back up to Linda's face after not realizing it settled down to stare at the rise and fall of the woman's seemingly large chest. ...sorry...I guess I was rambling a bit.... her eyes darted down to the table as a blush again flowed onto her smooth cheeks. Oh...my ...goodness... she chastised herself for the feelings churning inside her and quickly looked back up at Linda, a look of calm, determination flashing over her face as raised her glass .....to us...the most damn most beautiful power ladies of the evening even though our husbands have dumped us and took off looking for more worthless sluts... she nodded in brief satisfaction to her toast and Brad be damned if she happened to offend his bosses wife... and then Chere placed the glass to her lips and took a sip, her eyes watching Linda closely to see her reaction..
