**This is just something that floated to my head and I put it on paper... well, pixels, in about 10 minutes, so lots of C & C would be amazing :D **

She tilted her face up to meet his. They were standing the back alley of the coffee shop where she worked nights, his hands grasping her waist tightly as though he would never let go, could never let go.

Their bodies fitted together perfectly, nestled together they both seemed content. Peaceful. Until, in the dim half-light, she saw his face for the first time since he had called to her.

“What happened to you?” her fingertips flitted lightly over his bruised and battered face, “Are you alright?” She buried her face in his chest, stepping back quickly when he winced.

“What happened?” Delivered more angrily this time, the question had some force behind it, “Who did this to you?”

“Nothing, it’s nothing, we need to get back to work,” The brusque reply, as usual. Totally contrary to his body, however, the words he spoke could not deny to her the love felt in his body.

Curled protectively around her, as though he wished to shield her from any and all harm that might come her way. She stepped back further, voice rising, agitation growing.

“Why? Why again? So soon after last time…” Her voice broke on the last words as they left her mouth. Then the whisper,

“I don’t want to have to leave again.”

They stood together for a while, just holding each other tightly; framed in the light coming from nearby door, still standing ajar from her rush to meet him.

“Why?”

i really like how its discriptive, i've always been facinated with stories like that. It gives me the feel that im there, and i know exactly whats going on and how the character feels.
i like the direction this story is going in :]

good work!

This story pulled the reader in, like mouse in a trap. It was amazing, to say the least, but I think you could take this a few steps farther. If you develop the plot more, PM me, because I really want to read it :D

One last thing: your writing style is very sophisticated; you have nice verb choices, and stay away from the passive voice, which I always admire :)

Nice work!

Ahh that was so good!

I loved how detailed it was, and how it was mysterious yet revealing all at the same time.

Good Job!(:

First to reply yess. K, I loved that, it was amzing in my opinion. It was descriptive, mysterious, and shall I say a little "smexy" if you will. :D I did not notice any thing wrong reading through, it, and I am not one for full extecive, word-for-word crit. so... But anyways I likes it, It was good. Some much packed into one little peice. Goodjob.





*surprised scream* Aaaaah, NaNo!
