Sharpen Up The Knives 8
Remember the words; no retreat, no surrender.
It starts with the way we met. With me getting up and walking toward her. Except my nose bleeds again. It bleeds bad and in the dark. It bleeds and I can taste the blood in my mouth, down my throat. I get blood over everything I am wearing before she can ask what is wrong. She is out of the bed and turning on the lights in one swift movement. She runs to the bathroom to get me a towel. She runs back out to hand it to me. When her hands touch my face, when they touch me I feel like the world outside means nothing.
She pushes my head back. And we wait. And we wait. And we wait. Her body hot against mine. Why are we this close? I shake my head. She holds it still thinking the movement will make my nose bleed more. She asks a question. I have to answer.
“Why does this keep happening to you?” More like she whispers to her herself, maybe thinking I will not answer her. With the towel on my nose it hangs over my mouth so the words come out muffled yet true. “Its cause of my feelings.” Except with the towel it sounds more like becwas ofmy feeeeelwings.
“That makes no sense to me.” She says sort of annoyed.
Imagine how I feel?
The bleeding has stopped. I don’t taste it anymore. Carmen stares at me intently. Trying to understand. We would be great at the whole girlfriend thing I think…..She grabs my arm and drags me over to the bed. She starts to take my clothes off. I help her. Down to just a step above nothing as she touches my face again. It makes me feel all melted inside. For some reason I start talking instead of kissing her. She seems puzzled by it.
“I think its a side effect from not being on the regimen any more.”
“Your nose bleeds because you don’t take the pills anymore?” She asks unnerved.
“Its more than just pills, its the tracer; its the injections, the way of life. Its the meetings, and the water and everything else they gave me. Its me making choices that I don’t know how to make…..and then making them. Its like whenever I make a choice I don’t like, or a choice I have never made before……I get them. The nosebleeds. Weird right?”

Wow……….I’m Without words. Amazing writting!!!
I agree with bum…very sexy. Shane sharing her past by talking about how she got all her scars is hot! I love it!
Wow, thank you so much for the dedication. No one’s ever dedicated a chapter to me before, and to have my first be from you, well, that’s beyond flattering. I’ve nothing to offer in return, though, except my reading honesty and loyalty (heh, I remember the first comment I dropped in NIN ch2 a looong time ago). And I’m super glad I made your day. As for the story, well, it’s fricken sexy. No I don’t mean because Shane and Carmen have a *very* healthy appetite for each other (as evidenced in this hot-ass update), but because the characters have real chemistry. Their minds and bodies find ways to fit and just complement each other in a way that’s impossible to refute, and you’ve done an awesome job at presenting that integral part of the story. Awesome.
Your writing is absolutely mind blowing!
“Who is Tupac?”, “Never mind”. Hilarious. Glad Shane is opening up to Carmen. I don’t know if Shane should go after anyone in her condition, I guess only if she didn’t have a choice. Luv the update.
