Alex Thompson
Alex wore a smug look as she plopped down on her couch. Thirty minutes to kill. Finding the remote resting on the couch, she reached for it and turned on the TV. Instead of flipping to her go to sports channel, she instead turned it to the news. Catching the tail end of the weather forecast to the week, there was only one thing bigger than the current ongoing elections. The biting incidence that'd been sprouting up around the US.
The woman news anchor, someone Alex was accustomed to seeing on the news daily, looked slightly disheveled. "Good afternoon DC. We return to our report on scene on the most recent biting incident here in D.C ..."
The camera zoomed in on a very distraught looking man. From the caption and what words he could say, he was the father of the teenager who was bitten. Something about going to the hospital, which wasn't a bad move at all. Alex listened closely until the camera switched to one of the paramedics. Her jaw dropped open when a body bag started to move.
"What the ... what?" Alex sat up and watched. The camera was cut off by a police officer.
"Holy crap."Hearing the water shut off, Alex turned down the TV volume. She was still trying to figure out what she'd just seen. It was too sick to be some sort of joke.
Seeing Maria looking down from her, her hair still wet, Alex decided to forget what she had just saw. Her eyes roamed over Maria. Unsubtly. When Maria came to join her on ground floor, she was about to ask if they were ready to head out. Maria surprised her yet again. Taking the tickets, her eyes widened.
"No. Way. This must've cost an arm and a leg! Seriously? Oh we're going, M." Pulling Maria in close, she kissed her. Lingering as she closed her eyes. Maria's scent stimulating and moving her on an indescribable level. Pulling away, resisting the burning feeling in her body, she winked at her girlfriend.
"Fish and chips. This time, I'm buying. I'll even throw in something extra to sweeten the deal. That, M, I'll keep as a surprise."
