I Saw Her Standing There Chapter 6/?

A/N: Thanks much to mollybeakers for getting me thinking about callouses and hands and spending way too long on Google images looking at drummers hands.
Rating for this chapter is a soft R. It gets a bit on the steamy side.

Wonder no more indeed, lol! That scene more or less popped into my head about the third or fourth slightly disturbing picture I found of drummer's hands. As it was, there was always going to be a comparison of Ringo's hands in general- very masculine and large and I was going to be vague on their roughness- to Alice's very small, soft, incredibly feminine hands. Then you put the callouses thing out there and I was hooked.

I wasn't intending to focus on the rough/soft exactly for that reason, it was intended as an intimate-but-not-sexual scene between them. I live for those moments where it's not overtly sexual but sensual and intimate.

That said, Jay got it so spot on, now that I re-read it a few times.

Maureen is always interesting. I love to write her, and I desperately wanted to make sure that I avoided cliched moments as much as possible. It was imperative to me that the power lay with Alice. Even though Maureen is older and with more influence. Maureen I feel like, she has the two years of life experience, grew up more street smart, and has some idea of the difference between romantic love and lust, and that acting on lust when it's confused with love can be emotionally trying And knows that Alice might not know the difference between the two very similar emotions.

And yeah, Mo recognizes that talking won't do much good. Best thing is to assure Alice that things are still fine between them and leave it be.

You'll know soon enough. It's not Nell, and it's not her break up with Mo. And I'm so glad my OCs, even and especially my secondary one is making such an impact on you.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

The best part: writing a bigger picture when you didn't even intend to. Awesome! I WAS waiting for Maureen to tap Alice's nose and mention her smaller neb... but that's just the goofy that appears in me sometimes. lol.

Yep, no cliches. You've made their story their own, and it doesn't feel rushed.

Even Alice and Nell aren't cliched. Their problems are right out front and instead of you naming the specifics, you're letting them do that. I like it.
