Lisa looked into her boyfriend's eyes, the love and lust was no longer there. Familiarity, yes, but love, no... For a while now she realized that the romance was gone. Sure, she still enjoyed the material things and trips to town but the excitement was gone. All day yesterday while her boyfriend was home she watched TED talks about love and read articles about its science. She thought back to Jackson who mentored her in emotion and logic. *sigh* Jackson, that brilliant man with the bluest eyes and brightest smile.
Lisa grabbed the guitar and began strumming familiar sad chords before switching it up to a swingier sound. Jason asked "What are you doing? Come back and cuddle with me." Lisa put her guitar down and went back to her boyfriend feeling guilty. Why didn't the arms and body holding her tightly feel as good anymore? Tonight she had been a 10 but felt a 0 herself. It's funny how much emotions and attachment can affect the physical realm.

The heat came through the blinds and onto Jade's naked body, she woke up and realized that she fell for cheesy lines once again. Searching for her blouse she pushed her arms and legs through the sheets as if she was making a snow angel. "I push other girls away but I keep asking you to come back." The words of Kay echoed and the image of him holding her face and kissing her forehead before leaving flashed in her mind. As she buttoned up her shirt she shook her head and sigh. "Good morning, sunshine!" Nathalie greeted. She too was wearing only a blouse, but it was a normal thing for her. Nathalie was the all-loving hippie type who embraced the human body, especially when extra "curvy" and "voluptuous" as hers.
"Why didn't you stop me?" Jade asked. "I know you love him. Enjoy it before it's over." Nathalie replied
Jade searched for the rest of her clothes and put on jeans when she found them. "I'll see you later, Nathalie." Jade said. "Tata for now, little one." Nathalie replied with a smile.
Jade opened the trunk of her All-American luxury sports car and tossed in her backpack which carried her expensive laptop, bra, panties, and personal notebook.
She decided to grab her notebook and quickly scribbled. "Enjoyed the love and lies to the eyes, I guess this girl chose not to be wise. 5/10/2013". After taking an English literature course for the Victorian era Jade developed a habit of writing couplets about her life throughout the day.

A little emptiness was felt in Jade's heart. It was 7:30AM and she knew the train had pass. As a weak attempt to maintain contact with Kay she sent him an invite to a Facebook word challenge game two days before. After two words she already began to crush him. She thought to herself "Maybe if I went easier on him he would have completed his turn by now."
She did so many little things on purpose, she wondered if he'd notice. For instance, two bars of peanut caramel candies were purchased and left behind on his counter before she left. And the days before there would be traces of white azaleas in front of doors to local places they both attended.
Azaleas. Jade wished she was as bright and pretty as them, so she tried to associate herself with them through hints in couplets and hair accessories.
I love Andrew very much....
It'd be cool if he thought about me as much as I think about him
That way he might call me some times
And I wouldn't have to call him all the time.
He's a nice boyfriend
I like it best when I get to sleep with him
Then I don't have to worry about getting to say "good night"
