Lady Sunrope's Birthday!

[ismenin]

Just cos she likes him!


Today is LADY SUNROPE'S Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my dear friend! May your life be full of good things and may you receive the righteous desires of your heart. Hugses. xxxxx

As you may know, LSR is my beta, and darn good she is at it, too. She owns a COZ - a Celestial Orb Zapper, which she uses to great effect if I forget myself and use a pleonasm, or perhaps, an unfamiliar word, in my stories.

So I dedicate this to her with a touch of schadenfreude, knowing she cannot get her hands on it and hammer it into submission, which she would dearly love to do, I know. Naturally it is not betaed. Rubs hands together with glee.





Words.


"He didn't, Lighe!"

"He fucking did, Dom. Believe it!"

"What a plonker he can be sometimes. What did you say?"

"Nothing. What the fuck could I say with two cameras and three microphones stuck in our faces? Animadvert, he said. Or more precisely, "do not animadvert upon the subject," Fuck; I thought he was auditioning for Jane Austen or something, not giving an interview."

"What did the bloke say? the interviewer, I mean?"

"Fuck all. He just nodded and wisely kept quiet. Then, he said, consanguineous. Con-fucking-sanguineous! The man is a twat, Dom."

"You don't have to tell me that, Gay Boy. I worked with him - remember?"

"But, but...Dom. That's not all - I was just about to hit him over the head with my IPod and tell him to shut the fuck up, when he came up with eleemosynary! By now the poor guy with the clipboard of questions was staring at him like a rabbit caught in the headlamps, or whatever the fuck you call them here."

"Headlights, Lighe. Move over a bit, will ya?"

"Better? So I thought I had better say something as the twat had been talking for ten minutes non-stop. So I said, "please don't take any notice of him, Dara" - or whatever his name was - "he swallowed Dr Johnson for breakfast!"

Well they all cracked up laughing, except him of course, and shit, if he didn't try to explain that I meant Dr Johnson's lexicon and not the man, which exacerbated the situation, so..."

"It what, Lighe?"

"Oh, god! I've caught it off of him! It's infectious! I'll cause a pandemic of gargantuan proportions, and the aggregated contiguous demesnes of Britain, and then the nations of the entire oblate spheroid will founder and disintegrate and devolve into utter nihilism and discord!"

"Well, fuck me, Lighe!"

"By the gods Tiarmat and Kingu of Ancient Babylon, Dom - it seems you have escaped the septicity of the virus."

"Perhaps I am immune to its deleterious corruption, my love. Oh, NO! Lighe, shoot me before I say... "pellucid orbs", for you are staring at me with such a bright cerulean gaze, your eyes lambent with adoration and disquietude, that I cannot contain the emotions which threaten to percolate through my every axon, neuron and dendrite!"

"Perhaps if we engage in a bout of taxing and formidable sexual congress, Dom, my adored one, it might dissipate with alacritous promptitude."

Half an hour later.....

"Did it work, Dom? Are we okay, now?"

"Thank fuck, yeah, Lighe. Now, kiss me, again, you bastard, before it comes back!"


Because she'd approve...
