radiantbabyokay, so i have had this terrible bout of writers block. i guess i am just having a challenge with this story. its probably going to end soon. i started another story today, just to try and get my mind on something else, so perhaps that will help.
anyway, here is a snippet for those of you that have been waiting:
Key Member: jack, of course
Synopsis: girl meets boy backstage
Rating: pg-13, i suppose
Genre: drama, romance?
“I don’t like my face,” Jack pouted as he buttoned up a grey and black striped shirt and then finger-combed his hair into his face in front of the bathroom mirror.
I wrapped my arms around him from behind. “Oh Jack, you are beautiful,” I countered, pressing my check against his shoulder blade.
I was surprised more and more that the bravado he showed on stage was actually contrary to his off-stage personality. He was a lot more insecure than I would have imagined. Still, oddly, that made him that much more attractive to me. He was real.
He turned around to me, placing his hands on my waist, and smiled down at me. I reached up to push some of the hair from his eyes. “You shouldn’t hide yourself, especially your eyes,” I whispered.
He blushed slightly, looking down for a moment and then he looked back at me. “Mickey, you make me feel beautiful.”
“As you do for me,” I replied.
“You certainly don’t need my help with that,” he said, stepping back and holding out my arms to look at me. I’d put on a simple black strappy number (that I’d packed in case we went anywhere somewhat nice), with some simple black platform sandals, and left my long black locks down - save a small barrette pulling my bangs to the side. “You really should wear your hair down more.”
I blushed myself, just as awkward as he was about compliments. I changed the subject. “So, where are you taking me to dinner tonight sir?”
He laughed, looking down for a moment as if he was almost embarrassed, “Would you believe the restaurant over at the House of Blues?”
“Why does that not surprise me?” I teased.
“Well, I have always wanted to go there and it’s just walking distance away from here. How could I resist – Cajun and Soul Food and the Blues?”
“I’m just teasing with you, silly, I can’t wait to go.”
About a half an hour later, we got ready to leave. “So, you really aren’t wearing any red,” I poked at him. He was simply wearing the aforementioned grey and black striped shirt, some black trousers, and the black creepers he was wearing earlier.
“Tonight, I am not The Jack White. I am just Jack, your Jack,” he said, kissing me on the cheek as he opened the hotel room door for me to exit.

Date: 2003-06-23 05:16 am (UTC)1) go to livejournal.com and login
2) choose "update journal" from the left panel
3) type in your post (subject and event)
4) IMPORTANT: before you hit the "update your journal" button after your post, click above where it says "you're looking at the simple page. For more options, click here."
5) this will give you the pull down menu of "journal to post in". if you have joined the community, "ws_fanfic" should be an option. (it defaults to your own live journal).
6) once you choose "ws_fanfic" you can update. good luck!
