Hello, everyone. It's been a time since I uploaded here. How are you all doing? Swell, one would hope. Let's keep on trucking on. Here's another lil snippet from a series I never thought I'd really continue:
Have a little read of part 11 if you do so wish to reacquaint yourself, or from the beginning, here.

She closed her laptop. If Damian was going to be like this, so would she. Distractions were definitely needed.
Hey! What you up to? came the reply from Callum.
Would a photo be a bit too much? Nothing... overboard. Just, she didn't really know what to say. She had her face to do the talking for her.
She was probably overthinking this. They had spoken before a couple of times. Mostly about random stuff. But, he seemed interested. That was all she wanted right now. Just a little attention. Something to help her ego after Damian's dismissal. Plus, they'd met once before, briefly, at a gig together. She assumed he wasn't a creep. And he lived close enough. He wasn't too much older than her. Seemed friendly enough. No harm in just hanging out and seeing where things led.
Celia tried a few poses, a little bit of leg, something sitting down, back arched? Maybe lying on her bed? Her heart wasn't truly in it, though.
She sent a picture. On her bed, hair up, a little head tilt. With the message: 'nothing exciting, yourself?'. The lava lamp glowing steadily in the background. Celia had mentioned the uses of the lava lamp before, in a brief conversation. Surely it'd be able to provoke something. The response was quick.
Nothing, is it? Lots of potential for fun, then? I could be doing nothing, too, right now...
She smiled. Of course, her message had worked.
Tapping out another message to him, she got her car keys and jacket, whilst looking for a pair of trainers to drive in.
She could do with a little bit of nothing.
