this started as a joke and then my friend jamy made art about it so I had to write it
Suzie had a problem, a big one. To be exact, a four-foot tall, extremely cuddly problem.
Jewels had her eye on this particular My sweet piano plushie for quite some time now. It was massive, it was fluffy, it was pink, and it was expensive.
She already had quite an impressive collection of plushies to her name, a collection that took up a large portion of their queen sized bed. As it was, they had to shift several onto the ground each evening in order to climb under the covers and fit properly.
Still, Suzie found this charming. She didn’t see an issue with this in the slightest, and she certainly wasn’t about to stand in the way of whatever made Jewels happy.
When Jewels had finally bit the bullet and placed her order, the box it had arrived in had defied all known laws of physics.
Suzie had been relaxing on the couch, reading glasses perched on the tip of her nose when Jewels had entered the apartment, completely hidden behind the ginormous package in her arms.
“A little help here?” Jewels’s voice had called from behind the cardboard.
“Holy shit!” Suzie bounded up at once to assist her moving it into the living room. Luckily, the package was fairly light. If it hadn’t been for the awkward size of the box, Jewels would not have had any issues carrying it inside.
wip wednesday - “in my head, i do everything right”
little excerpt from chapter three. pre edited and all that
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Name."
"Myki Meeks."
"With the one-bed suite?"
Myki's foot tapping got louder. "About that, I- I was hoping I could book another room? Or at the very least get a new one with two beds?"
The women typed something before speaking. "We're fully booked."
"What do you mean 'fully booked?' Online it said—"
"I'm staring at our availability right now. Fully booked."
"Is there any way you can… you know?"
An eyebrow was raised at this. "You want me to what? Take a room away from someone else because you need it?"
"Well, when you put it like that."
The woman shook her head and looked back down. "Americans," she mumbled.
"Excuse me? Do you know how many fucking Marriott points I have? Now, I could stand here and tell you about the absolute diabolical situation I'm in, or you could live up to the 'wonderful hospitality' you are meant to provide and help me."
"Let me guess, you two broke up after the room was booked?"
Myki did not respond.
"Look, I wish I could help you, but I can't. Your options are to find somewhere else or figure out who gets the floor."
"Can I get a refund?"
The woman shook her head and held out a hotel key.
Myki sighed, but took that card. "I'm switching to Hilton," she murmured as she got her phone out.
It's been a while since I posted something for WIP Wednesday, so why not today? (Featuring a surprise UK queen!)
"You coming?" Myki asked.
"You go on ahead; I'm going to stay outside for a bit," she said.
Myki looked towards the sky. "It's drizzling. Are you sure?"
Nini knew she shouldn't be ashamed of her smoking habit. Most of her friends knew she picked it back up again. But the thought of Myki finding out gave her an uncomfortable feeling.
She shouldn't care so much about what Myki thought of her.
"I'll be fine; you go ahead and check in," she insisted, and Myki went inside, suitcase rolling behind her.
Once Myki was out of sight, Nini reached into her bag and found her open box of cigarettes. She had a pack and a half with her, and would probably need to pick more up during the trip.
She took her first drag, feeling the smoke enter her lungs. Her stress seemed to melt away with it.
"Your girlfriend doesn't know you smoke, does she?"
Nini turned to her left to see a tall woman in the hotel's uniform. She looked like a model, the way she leaned against the building.
"She's not my girlfriend," Nini said, taking another puff.
The woman gave her a look. "You didn't argue about the other part," she pointed out.
Nini stayed quiet for a moment before letting out a quiet "No."
"You shouldn't be so afraid to tell her, then."
"She helped me quit when we were together," Nini admitted.
The woman nodded in understanding. "If you want to change vices, come to the bar tonight and ask for Paige. I'll make you a bloody good gin and tonic."
"Thank you," Nini simply said as Paige went back inside. She finished her cigarette, stomped on it, and threw the butt away before going inside.
