100 Day Challenge - Day 56 - Mid Point Challenge - Re-invent the Past

Over a year ago I had a raging imaginary affair with GB. We grew tired of each other and we broke up. I haven't seen him for a long time.

Last night I went to see him on the spur of the moment. I wanted the comfort of a dark room, loud music that drowned out my thoughts and the feeling of sweat running between my breasts.

Somehow every word he spoke was kind of sexy ...

Come on ... keep going
We started together ... let's finish together
Give it a squeeze ...
Give me just a little bit more ...
*heavy breathing*

In the silence and darkness of track six tears ran down my face, cleansing me and washing away the crazy guilt and shame of not living up to my own ridiculously high standards.

At the end of it I was emotionally spent and could barely walk.

And as a bonus I burned 865 calories -- I think I'm going to see GB again soon.
