<div align="center"><strong>Name:</strong> Vivianna Lawson (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=131094.msg5824390#msg5824390)<br/><strong>Location:</strong> Mark's Front Porch<br/><strong>Time:</strong> Day 2, afternoon<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong> Amber, Mark<br/><br/>(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/V42-1.jpg)</div><br/>Vivi knew this woman's opinion shouldn't matter to her. She'd built her new life around not letting other people's opinion matter to her. And yet, it did. A small part of her stomach actually did a delighted flip hearing Amber's compliments. Maybe it wasn't all an act and Amber really did want to get to know her. Thoughts of being friends with this woman entered her head, thoughts she hadn't entertained before now. And why hadn't she entertained them? This woman had done nothing to her. She didn't threaten her relationship with her Master, either, for he had been clear that he had chosen both of them. And it didn't matter what Vivi thought of herself compared to the other girl; it only mattered what Master thought. There was no need to be jealous.<br/><br/>While she still couldn't completely shake the threatened or jealousy feelings, this new idea made her feel slightly better. While her back still stayed rigid, maintaining that delicious curve, her shoulders relaxed a bit. She brought her big brown eyes back to Ambers, such a beautiful blue! Vivi was afraid she might drown in them. The red of her lingerie only enhanced the brightness of her eyes and the beauty of her golden skin. Oh, she wanted to reach out and stroke that golden skin to see if it felt as soft as it looked. But she wouldn't dare make a move without Master telling her to. She wouldn't be bold enough to do it on her own anyway. Instead, Vivi just listened while Amber asked her questions.<br/><br/>"Thank you for the compliments," Vivi began. A genuine smile appeared on her face. She was used to working very hard for not much effort or praise. It's one of the reasons she had so many friends and volunteered so often. Her efforts didn't usually go so unnoticed in either of those situations.<br/><br/>"Well I do love fantasy books. They are a great escape from reality. And I've recently developed a taste for crime mystery novels while working in the office," Vivi broke off to grin a moment. The lawyers she worked for didn't handle cases as intricate as the ones she read about but they liked to act as though they did. It made for a particularly humorous day in the office after she'd been up all night reading one of her crime novels. She liked to play theme music in her head as she watched her coworkers walk around with such supreme airs of importance. This is the thought she recollected now.<br/><br/>"As for volunteering, I work a few places. I volunteer in various soup kitchens every Sunday. I alternate Saturdays with Home for the Innocents and the Shelter for Abused Women. I also participate in various clothing drives and whenever the Habitat for Humanity has a job in our area." Vivi couldn't help but felt guilty for skipping her volunteering this weekend but she just couldn't go one more day without seeing this man again. Maybe she could make up for it during the week next week. Maybe she could volunteer a few nights. Yes, that's what she would do.<br/><br/>"What do you like to read?" In a ridiculously bold move, Vivi actually asked a question of the other woman without waiting for permission. She bit her bottom lip and flinched, looking up at her Master. When he didn't scold her, she relaxed a bit. "What kind of games do you like? I don't know a thing about cards. Maybe you could teach me?" Vivi looked up with a hopeful smile. "Oh, and I'd love to see your pictures as well!"<br/><br/>She wanted to ask about the other woman's relationships with the women but Vivi didn't feel comfortable enough to ask that, yet. She'd had a gay best friend but she didn't know very many bisexual women or lesbians. Or if she did, she was oblivious. Then again, Vivi had a knack for being oblivious to things.
