Other World

He's late!

She tapped her new silver sandals impatiently against the polished floor of the cafe. Pulling back the billowing sleeve of her mid-riff kimono like top to check her watch for the hundredth time, she groaned impatience.

The cappucino had gone cold, her crankiness growing as she snubbed all those strangers who wanted to talk to her.

He suddenly appeared beside her, topless and somehow muscled compared to before.

"What took you so long?" she almost screamed when he merely smiled and gave her a friendly hug.

"Sorry about that. The kids were at it again. Couldn't just leave them alone."

"Oh well," she sighed, knowing there was no way to be angry at a man, whose devotion to kids is amazing. He is a teacher afterall. "So you discovered any new scene to explore?"

"Well there are a few. Great places to take photographs in."

"Well bring it on!" She punched the air with a fist.

*dissolve dissolve morph*

"Gaaaaaaaah!" she shrieked when she stumbled and landed hard on a dusty floor. "Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed, noticing the pile of coffins surrounding the dusty room. "Wow! Are we in a crypt?"

"We are", a voice from above replied. She looked up to see him dangling upside down from the ceiling like a bat. "Come join me up here", he laughed while swaying his body.

"Nah. I'll try this first." She lay down inside a coffin and crossed her arms like a mummy. "Hmm. So this is what it feels like to be dead." She climbed out and took his offered hand. "You should try it."

"Nah." He brought a hand up to caress her left cheek. "I think you look pretty pretending to be dead."

They both laughed from that.

*dissolve dissolve morph*

"Yahoo! I'm flying!" She spread her arms wide while he manuevered a giant bird beside her. The clouds below them were snowy white and the stars filled the night sky above.

"Haha!" He patted the place behind him. "Why don't you sit behind me and try to ride this bird?"

"Maybe next time." She flew towards the bird's tail and tried to pluck a feather.

The bird screeched and almost shook its passenger off if he had not given a hard tug on the reins.

"Okay, that's it!" He let go of the rains and flew to where she was. He dragged and settled her on the bird. He sat behind her and reached over the reins.

"Now, behave."

"Yes daddy", she giggled and leaned back on him and enjoyed the ride.

"Ooooh, great swimming place!" she exclaimed, feeling the soft sand beneath her feet while eyeing the palm trees scattered in the area.

"I don't know about you, but I'm to relax". He lay back on the sand and pulled down his shades from his head to cover his eyes.

She changed into her swimsuit and dived into the clear, cool waters. Lazily floating, she felt the sun on her face.

*dissolve dissolve morph*

"Hey! I wasn't finished there!" she pouted. Who wouldn't feel irritated when abruptly disturbed from a lazy rest on a perfect beach?

"Don't worry, this place will make up for it." He gently placed strong hands on her shoulders to turn her around.

"Nice!" she clapped her hands.

They were beside a pool where a small table was set overlooking the sea. It was already sunset, casting soft radiance everywhere.

He dived into pool, gracefully swimming from one end to another, firm muscles moving in composed synchrony. She took a tall glass of silver wine from the table, sat on the pool's edge and dangled her legs.

He came up in front of her, crossed his arms over her lap and placed his head on them. "So you like this scene?" he inquired, water trickled down his face.

She smiled and offered her glass to him.

*dissolve dissolve morph*

So many blinding lights, loud music, and people bumped to each other on the dance floor. It was a night of partying, a time to let go.

They were both dressed at their best, dancing the night away, letting go of all inhibitions. Becoming one with the night and the music. Twirling, swaying, rocking in the spotlight for the whole world to see two individuals having no care of the future but of the present and of each other.

On the stage is a known band rocking the house down with their extra-ordinary tune. On one end of the club were pole-dancers having the time of their life. In the area of the giant jacuzzi, people took advantage of the restful water to sooth dance-driven bodies while snuggling with their companions.

The music ended. The crowd yelled for more. She laughed as they made their way to the bar. "That was absolutely great!"

"Glad you like it here." He ordered drinks for both of them. "After this, you still want to go somewhere else?"

"I would like to but I'm pooped." She leaned on him, resting her head on his shoulder. "Maybe next time. As of the moment I just want to rest."

"And I know the place for that," he said.

*dissolve dissolve morph*

She landed on something soft and comfortable. She pulled herself up to take a look around.

She found herself inside a condominium. She discovered a spacious kitchen, a jacuzzi, a music room, a huge platform TV, and a view overlooking the city. She was so mesmerized with the view she gave a loud gasp when she felt herself lifted and placed on a broad shoulder and being carted off somewhere.

She was taken into a shower. He gently placed her down but immediately pushed her back on the bathroom walls and placed both hands on both sides of her head to trap her.

He gave a satisfying smile. "Do you think you still want to rest?"

She smiled back. "I thought about it but I guess rest has to wait."

He reached for the knob. Water came down on them, drenching them both as they smiled to each other.

"Well then, I guess this is how the day ends," he whispered as his face slowly moved towards hers.

*dissolve dissolve ... huh?*

"Hey! Why are we here again?!" he exclaimed, his brows knitted in annoyance.

She took a sip of her cold cappucino. "Well you were late. You deserve it."

She burst out laughing seeing his irritation. "Oh c'mon," she went over to him to give him a bear hug. "Today was great, I enjoyed it a lot." She kissed his cheek. "Let's do this again next time okay? I have some homework to do."

He couldn't help but smile. Seeing her happy was enough. He hugged her back. "Next time."

*dissolve dissolve disconnect*

She stretched her arms over her head and smiled.

Another great exploration in the chatroom.

The idea came from IMVU, the first 3D messenger online. I have used and explored it for how many months and I absolutely love it!

It's still under development, as new features are continously added to it but the interaction one gets from 3D avatars together with its many action options, showing more emotions online (besides usage of smilies) is emphasized more.

This entry came to me upon remembering scenes I have gone to in IMVU. As for the characters, what can I say? I love tasteful and teasing romance. LOL

Nah, I'm not really a writer so I'm not confident if this entry even gave that hint of naughtiness I wanted. But at least I tried. ^_^

Well, got to go back to the real world. But I am missing IMVU right now, so I think I'll login there soon. ^_^
