Turtle and Canary - Wednesday

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber was in an awesomely bouncy mood. She skipped into work, having taken her time to enjoy the flowers along the way. So many and so pretty!

Behind the counter, she totally grabbed her trashy romance from where she'd hidden it, and buried her nose in it. Oooh, so good!

Glinda practically waltzed into the store. "Hello!" she called from the door as she picked up a basket and began piling items into it. "Isn't it lovely out?"

Amber didn't bother to hide her book this week. Today? It was fiiine

"Hello!" she called out, waving a hand in the air. "It is! I wish I was outside instead of in here." But being in here wasn't that bad.

If Liir was just here too...

Glinda came up to the counter a short time later, unloading oysters, bananas, chocolate, and various other aphrodisiac-type foods. "I believe that I will host a little luncheon for the teachers today," she explained, apparently oblivious to what kinds of foods she had picked up. Then she caught sight of the cover of Amber's book. "Oooooooh! That looks positively juiciful!"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, how nice!" She began to ring up her purchases. "And from the looks of it, it's going to be delicious." She was saying that word far too much today. The viking on the front cover of her book was... oh dear god, juiceful. "You are right there. Juiceful and hard and strong."

Shut up, Amber. You don't even know this lady.

"You can borrow it if you want," she offered, oh so helpfully. "I've plenty others."

Glinda let out a little squeal of excitement which was so not appropriate for someone her age oh my GOD. "Ooh! Could I? I'm sure I wouldn't keep it from you for too long." She looked almost longingly at the gentleman gracing the cover. "Wouldn't you just love to curl up with someone like him?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

The squeal was cute and inviting and Amber giggled, thinking the woman was lovely and shiny. "Yah, you betcha you can take it. Drooling is totally okay." Did she just say that? Huh. It was warm in here. "If I didn't already have someone to curl up with, then oh my god, yah. I mean, look at those... thighs."

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

Glinda let out a giggle as well. It almost felt necessary to do so, especially when actively discussing a romance novel with someone. "Oh, yes, his thighs," she replied, teasingly. "And what's the name of your special someone?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Giggling was infectious! Amber felt her toes grow warm and slid the book towards the woman. "Mhm." The loincloth seemed to be fluttering in the wind. "My delicious someone is Liir." Mmm. Liir. She would find him later if he didn't find her first.

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

She put a hand on the book, resisting the urge to stroke the Viking. Oooh, that would be later. For now, though, Glinda's eyes grew huge as Amber admitted to her 'someone'. "Liir? LIIR? As in Liir from Oz? Dark hair? A teeny bit nervous? Giant puppy? That Liir?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Non-public viking stroking is encouraged. Just sayin'. Oooh. Amber blinked. She had a feeling here- "Yes, that would be him. Dark wavy hair, delicious green eyes, and when he wears those leather pants of his... oh lord, I nearly come undone."

Shut up, Amber!

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

"I know him!" Glinda cried, almost sounding triumphant. "Oh, yes, he is a looker. Took after his father that way. Ooooh, Fiyero, now there was someone you woudn't mind following your yellow brick road, if you know what I mean." She winked rakishly. "Liir's a fabulous boy. I'm glad to see he's with someone as pretty as you."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! "You must be Glinda! Oh my god it's so nice finally meeting you." Bounce! "And yah, I do know what you mean," she nearly whispered, leaning towards her just a bit. "I've met him and he's a definite looker. Not saying I'm into older men, but I'd totally hit on him if I didn't know better." Big grin. "And if I wasn't with Liir, of course. Thanks for the compliment!" Blush! "He really is fabulous. Eveything about him... everything."

She finished bagging her goods and told her the amount.

Blink. Blink blink. Glinda autopiloted through the payment and pulled her bags off the counter.

"You... said you've met... Fiyero?" she said, very quietly, after a very long moment. "When?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"He was here, of course. He stayed at the theatre with Mr. Tennant. Granted, I didn't know him well, but had the pleasure of his company a time or two." Amber slid her change across the counter, and was a touch concerned about the quietness of Glinda.

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

"Well. How very... interesting. And he has since... moved on?" Glinda had gone from very excited to very focused.

It was kind of unsettling, really.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"He's left, yes," she replied, gently.

"Is... should I not have mentioned he was here?" Ooops.

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

"What? Oh, no, sweet girl, you're fine."

Glinda turned on her heel and headed for the door, while uttering, "Liir, however, has explaining to do..."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Uh-oh.

"Um. Thank you! Come again!"

Well.

It was fine, right? Everything was just fine.

She skipped from behind the counter to go find a new book to read.
