I woke up in 2021 caught in an intimate relationship and I guess that I just got used to having her around. When we met, she told me that there was no need to romance her, as she was a sure thing. I became distracted by her beauty which was mesmerizing, but romance was one aspect that I certainly wanted to have in a relationship. I wanted more and I turned into a basket case because I started ignoring the ignorance of this situation. I wanted to kiss her and she insisted that wasn’t necessary, so we argued constantly till I got tired. She looked just like Elizabeth Taylor and I asked her if we could go up on the tin roof with a blanket where we could be like street cats making love.

The story is the hard part, as I can work with almost any prompt. I had the basic story in my head and with your prompt of intimate, I went with it.

I like how you stretched it to tin roofs and streetcats … just the word desire is missing 🙂

I wasn’t going for Streetcar Named Desire when I mentioned Elizabeth Taylor, I was going for the other Tennessee Williams play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
