Thread: Life After (Kevinn and Mim)

As Grace sobbed she felt Charvi coming closer to her, embracing her. It felt nice to have someone stroke her hair like that. It was clear Charvi understood what she was going through. Grace didn't know how but she could tell. The feeling of Charvi's soft lips against her head, the warmth of her breath felt so good. Grace hadn't felt anything like that in a long time. Something so simple which one always took for granted before the virus swept the world. Grace was a straight woman but Charvi's touch right now felt nicer than she was probably willing to admit to herself. It was just what she needed. Grace finally stopped sobbing, her sobs turning into a smile. She was happy. She had every reason to be happy. She thought she was alone in the world but through some miracle she'd managed to find someone else. After months of torture and sorrow she had finally found life. Grace took the opportunity and continued eating. In the past she might have felt as though she was being rude for eating so much in comparison to Charvi but after so long, she didn't really think twice about it and ate until she was fully satisfied. Grace nodded and Charvi's suggestion of sleeping in the same bed. She'd been alone for too long. She wanted the company. She wanted to know once more what it felt like to wake up and see someone next to you. Most of all she wanted confirmation that this wasn't just some kind of dream. The mere thought of having a shower again felt great. Grace hadn't showered in at least a month and even then it was just with a garden hose. She made her way up to the bathroom as Charvi went to get some clothes for her. She was happy Charvi was so kind. If they could have survived it could have been anyone else who survived and they could have been some sort of criminal or psychopath who would have taken advantage of her. Thank you. Grace said, looking over her shoulder when Charvi brought her the clothes. She didn't really pay much attention to the fact that she was naked when Charvi entered. She didn't mind another woman seeing her in that state. When Charvi left Grace slipped into the shower. She turned on the water, a big smile clearly drawn on her face as she felt the first drops come into contact with her skin. It was bliss. Grace simply stood there, letting the water fall on her with her eyes closed. Sure it was cold but she didn't mind that at all. Grace stood under the water for what seemed like hours but were simply minutes, minutes of pure enjoyment. Enjoyment unlike any she'd hand for a while. She remained in the shower for a couple more minutes and then decided it was enough for the day. If she stuck with Charvi she wouldn't have to miss all these things. She wouldn't have to be alone again. She got dressed and made her way to the room. Thank you Charvi. That was.. Refreshing. Grace said with a smile as she walked into the room. She felt somewhat shy at teh thought of going to bed with someone else but this was a different world now. It didn't necessarily imply any ulterior motives or anything else. It just meant fighting the intense loneliness that they'd both been living with for so long. I'm so happy I found you. Grace slipped into the bed, lying down next to Charvi. So happy.
