The 37 Days of Gusmas
Title: One More Thing
Author: wavingcat5
Prompt: Christmas tree image
Notes: 2 drabbles.
‘So how do I look?’ Lindsay twirled.
‘Like a fucking Christmas tree.’
‘Asshole!’ Lindsay wrestled Brian to her dorm bed.
‘So-far-up-your-own-ass-’
‘I would if I could.’
As they struggled, Brian removed first one fluffy feather hair clip, then the other; then the glow-in-the-dark star stickers from the outer corners of her eyes; then the glitter off her cheeks with his tongue.
‘Blecch! You wanted lovergirl to eat that shit?’
‘It took me ages!’ fumed Lindsay. ‘I just want Rebecca to see I’m doing fine without her.’
‘Then try this: think Oscar Night.’
Brian let Lindsay up, pulling her to her feet. He cupped her face and smoothed back her hair.
‘Nobody remembers the meringues except to laugh at them. But everyone goes gaga over a simple black dress.’
Brian untied the blouse knotted decoratively under Lindsay’s bust and slipped the sparkly fabric off her shoulders. Underneath it was her plain black gown.
‘One more thing.’
He picked a black velvet ribbon off the dresser and tied it neatly around Lindsay’s neck. She caught his eye in the mirror. The smile playing around Lindsay’s lips was her only admission that Brian was right.
