《Seeing Double》42
Advertisement
"So where are we going today?" Tobin sleepily asks as she zips up her new Fjällräven parka I bought her yesterday as a Christmas gift.
"I wanna take you to my secret spot." I say while putting my new Fjällräven parka on.
"At sunrise?"
"Yes."
"Okay." Tobin says then she yawns.
"If you want we can get some coffee then you can sleep on the drive." I say.
"Sounds good." Tobin says as we grab our stuff.
The two of us head to the garage and get into the car then head to the local coffee shop. At the coffee shop we get coffee and breakfast then we head to our destination.
The moment we leave Wolfsburg Tobin falls asleep holding my hand. I internally chuckle then make the drive to the Harz Mountains.
"Astrid?" Tobin questions an hour later.
"I'm here Toby." I say and kiss her hand.
"Where are we?"
"Almost there." I say then hold out a scarf. "Put this on as a blindfold."
"What?" Tobin asks.
"Just trust me." I say.
Tobin sighs, but puts the blindfold on so I keep driving. I continue driving for a little while longer until I find my favorite spot in the mountains. Once we get to my spot I park by the side of the road then get out and rush around to Tobin's side of the car and help her out.
"How am I gonna walk?" My girlfriend asks as I lock the car.
"Trust me Boo Bear." I say then give Tobin an Eskimo kiss. "I promise nothing bad will happen."
"I trust you."
I smile to myself then step in front of Tobin and take her hands in mine so I can guide her. I begin to walk backwards and lead my girlfriend to my spot then step to the side when we get to the spot.
"Alright take off the blindfold in 1...2...3..." I say then Tobin lifts the blindfold, giving herself a look at my spot.
"Woah." Tobin says. "It's so beautiful."
"It really is." I say while looking around.

"So what did you do when you came out here?" Tobin asks.
I smile at my girl then I begin to show her exactly what I did when I came out to my spot.
How it must feel to be a bird
Roam lonely over sea air
How it must feel to be a bird
London, Paris under me
I'll wait on my own here
I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
She's bringing the moon and the stars to me
Damn permanent revery
And even though this life, this love is brief
I've got some people who carry me
Wasn't it love as soon as we knew each other properly?
Living 'bout half right, until a certain person got to me
Nothing is secret, everything's sacred
How it ought to be
Under the moonlight
On a clear night
On rooftops is where I want to be
Some times I'm like a child
It's something I can't release
Dreams of her coming home, sweet home
I'm telling you home's so sweet
Said you reminded me of the summer times
I still mean that
In a full room I'm the only one she's smiling at
Wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me?
That's what she asked me what was promised what we both agreed
Truthfully if you ever go, you'll drop me straight to Hell's 7th circle
And I was talking with you earlier
We were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful
I, I used to dream that you would talk to me
I used to dream that you would talk to me
I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
She's bringing the moon and the stars to me
Damn permanent revery
And even though this life, this love is brief
I've got some people who carry me
Know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt?
I get it a couple times a year but I've been getting it more often with her
When I'm face to face with death I'll grab his throat

And ask him, "how does it hurt?"
In those golden moments growing old too quickly
Was he thinking of her?
She's bringing the moon and the stars to me
Damn permanent revery
And even though this life, this love is brief
I've got some people who carry me
"Holy shit that was amazing." Tobin says.
"Thank you." I say then I look at my gorgeous girlfriend and open my arms . "Come on let's take the picture for our Mother's."
Both my mother and Tobin's basically ordered us to take a picture everywhere we went.
"Okay." Tobin says and walks into my open arms.
I take out my phone, open to the camera, then hold it out in front of us to reveal both of us smiling while standing in front of the snow covered scenery. Right before I take the picture I turn my head and press my lips to my girlfriend's rosy cheeks then I quickly take the picture. Once I take a few pictures I move the phone so we can look over the pictures.
"That is my new lock screen." I say and make the best picture my new lock screen.
"Astrid." Tobin says in the sexiest voice I've ever heard
"Yes?"
"There's one more picture I want to take."
"O-Okay." I stutter then hold my phone out to take a selfie as Tobin pulls me toward her.
Tobin puts her gloved hand on the side of my cheek that isn't facing the camera then she slowly leans in and softly kisses me. I snap a few pictures before I put my phone in my pocket and zip the pocket then I cup my girlfriend's gorgeous face and deepen the kiss. In the middle of our make out session I snake my hands down to Tobin's thigh's then tap them causing my forward to jump and wrap her legs around me. I then walk us back over to our car and when we get to the car I open the back doors and set my girlfriend in the back seat.
"Astrid?" Tobin questions while catching her breath as I snake my hands up her shirt.
"You seem cold." I say then pop the clasp on her bra. "I think I should warm you up."

"So who's all going to be there?" My girlfriend asks as she finishes getting ready.
We're having dinner with some of my Wolfsburg friends.
"Um Sara, Pernille, and Alexandra." I say as I wrap my arms around Tobin and rest my chin on her shoulder. "Good job covering up all the marks."
"I only covered the ones that were visible." Tobin says while blushing. "You know before today I've never had sex in a car."
"Me neither." I say. "I prefer a bed."
"Me too." Tobin says then she turns around and wraps her arms around me. "I don't think I've told you yet, but I really wanna say thank you for bringing me here."
My girlfriend then softly kisses me making me smile.
"This has been one of the best vacations I've ever had." Tobin says.
"Good." I admit. "I'm glad I can show you why I love Germany so much."
"I can see why." Tobin says.
After Tobin finishes getting ready we get in our rental car then head to the restaurant. Once at the restaurant I park then lead Tobin into the restaurant and over to the table my friends are already sat at.
"Hello ladies." I say with a smile then hug my three friends. "This is my girlfriend Tobin...Tobin this is Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir, Pernille Harder, and Alexandra Popp."
My girlfriend greets my three friends then we sit down and Alexandra immediately starts speaking in German which freaks Tobin out.
"Xandra speak English." I say while laughing with Sara and Pernille.
"Fine." Alexandra playfully groans as we sit down.
"They know English?" Tobin whispers making me laugh.
"Yes I helped them hone their English and they taught me their respective languages...we'll Xandra just helped me hone my German."
"So Danish, German, and Icelandic?" Tobin questions.
"Yes."
"Woah." My girlfriend says as the waiter comes over so we order and a couple minutes later we get our drinks.
"So how long are you two here for?" Sara asks.
"Uh seven more days...i think." Tobin says.
"Are you two coming to the game?" Pernille asks.
"Yes." I say. "Yes we are."

Twice Lived
Previously called Standard Reincarnation Story In a fraction of a moment, the Earth was no more. The planet was destroyed, and billions and billions of people were dead. And it was all an accident. This is the story of Elm. A regular American born once on earth and given a chance to be reborn again on a planet with magic and monsters and dungeons. Except that for Elm, this is far from the idealistic reincarnation into a loving family -- the standard story of a child raised by loving parents who teach him the ways of the world, Instead, Elm is born into a family of inquisitors. An order of nobility that is dedicated to hunting down and killing "Twice-Lived" -- the name society has for people like Elm who are reincarnated with all their memories of their past life intact. Disclaimer This story is: 1) Extremely violent and graphic. 2) Still in a rough draft stage. I see what I am writing more like a synopsis than a fully fledged story. I periodically will go back to flesh out earlier chapters, build characters, etc... If you find the words "Show don't tell," comforting accept that unfortunately, I'm not at that stage of the writing process yet. 3) At one point this story was called "Standard Reincarnation Story," and I had written an extremely off-putting description of the story. This was mostly to keep out people who would just read the silly first few chapters then rage quit as soon as the violent stuff got started. Since I just had my first .5 star rating (without a page read count increase) that technique is not working, so I might as well treat this as a regular fiction and try to get regular readers.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
