A/N: So it's been a tiny little time span since I've updated this story (try 13 months) I admit- I'm a lazy bum with a new obsession- Kakashi (drools)
Any-hoo. Here is the update that was due about a year ago. Better late than never! - It's a little short but I'm probably going to spit out the next chapter before New Years. So there won't be another year long hiatus.
Enjoy!
Chapter 3 (DAMN)
Tap. Tap. Tap.
The eraser end on the pencil connected to the black lab like desk for the thirtieth time in the span of three minutes, with an infuriatingly rhythmic thud.
She and her old fashioned ways still preferred the pencil and paper approach when it came to the creative process.
(five minutes later)
The frumpy librarian like old woman that shared the miniscule cubicle with her was, at that very moment, giving her an "shhh! Quiet in the library!" look.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Then the pencil broke.
Damn.
Back up plan Computer (screw old fashioned ways)
Serenity Wheeler sighed dejectedly as she stared blankly into her computer screen, which just happened to be completely, absolutely, and utterly blank. She had been placidly seated in front of the treacherous monitor for the past two hours and had accomplished an infinite amount of literary achievement- diddlysquat. The low sweet hum of the computer monitor was seriously starting to twist her nerve, so she slouched down into her chair as if burying her face into the unpleasant and course fabric of the office chair was any consolidation at all.
(another five minutes later)
Carefully peeking out from under the desk, Serenity dared to give a glance at the monitor hoping for a miracle or a maniac to come out of the mop closet and to write a retraction for the grand pain in the ass also know as Seto Freaking Kaiba. Then, the maniac that just so happened to be her savior would silently creep away, all of this done in the span of five minutes and without her knowledge, of course.
With renewed confidence, Serenity gave the screen an optimistic glance.
Nope.
Still nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Zero.
Zilch.
Goose Egg.
Nada.
Damn.
Oh well. Break time.
The Break Room. Mankind has never known such paradise as the staff members of Dominio Times, after all in this hailed Break Room was a treasure sought by people of all four hundred and fifty eight countries and seven continents (even Antarctica), four words Krispy Kreme Donuts- FREE!
After her daily fix of a dozen or eight Krispy Kreme Donuts, Serenity returned to the monitor. With inspiration from the heaven's gift, that she had just so gleefully digested, to the Homo Sapiens Serenity began to write.
My Gay Idol, Seto Kaiba, Part II…
"It's always been you." He says. "There was never an alternative, never a choice. Only you. Do you not see, I am so blind to the rest of the world and it is all your fault. I just cannot see anything but you. You've poisoned me and I…I don't think I want to be cured."
"Oh… but we can't be together, you and I. It would be sin."
"I don't care! I … I…love you!"
(GASP)
"You… You… love me? Oh! My heart pounds with joy! My tears flow with honey! My breast blushes with overwhelming tenderness!"
"KISS ME!"
"It's so BEAUTIFUL! He really loves her!" Her upper lip began to tremble with the force of an overweight gorilla at the sight of twenty-pound bananas.
"Whahhhhhhhhh" Serenity shrieked out an inhumane wail that could have wiped out a small third world country with nuclear capability. It was once again Saturday night, a lonesome, chick flick filled Saturday night. Her choice of poison tonight was a nice sappy anime movie with sadly, only a minimal amount of smut. Hey, a girl has got to get some from somewhere right? Sadly, though she had fallen asleep before the smut had begun.
Another week's end and still the Kaiba article was...well she got the title done. That in it of itself was quite an accomplishment; some writers spend weeks pondering over witty words and pleasant phrases trying to uncover the perfect hook. Serenity already had hers, but that was also all she had…
Damn.
Then again, maybe Kaiba has forgotten all about it. He did say ten days and it has already been (counting fingers and toes) eleven! Yes! He must have forgotten, after all, he is a very important man, and he wouldn't want to waste any of his tremendously precious time on ruining the life of someone as insignificant as she. Yup. That's it. Mmm-hmm. Serenity was trying her very best to convince herself that Kaiba was not the reincarnation of Satan's ex-wife's nephew, and that he would not go to great lengths in order to secure her misery. That he wouldn't ruin her career nor will he force her with demon claws to write a retraction. Deep down inside he was really a good person, who chose to love puppies instead of eating them, so he would take pity and forget about their little... errrr situation. Yup. He was just a sad little boy in need of some loving and some good caramel pecan pie. Yup.
Ding-Dong.
Damn!
She spoke too soon.
End of chapter 3. I know that these chapters are kind of filler-ish (is that a word?) and the plot is moving at turtle speed (much like my updates), but I hate it when stories are too rushed. So you guys are just going have to bear with me- Serenity and Sex God will be making goo-goo eyes in a few more chapters; after I've establish their various character quirks and backgrounds. Someone asked how old they are: Serenity-26 Seto-30
AN/2: Anyone else notice how Serenity's favorite word seems to be Damn?
AN/3: Monotheistic chapter 2 will probably be out in the next month or so- no more death threats- my coffee making skills are too mad to die without me taking an apprentice.
