a Small Romantic Story Jus Read n Hav Fun
A morbid romance it was…… A morbid romance indeed. Oh, how many long nights I’ve worked on her. I sowed every stitch with such loving care. Made every effort to preserve her natural skin color. Quietly in solitude I practiced my art and she was my master piece! As a forensic student, I had every tool at my disposal. I worked many lonely weekends right there, on campus. Oh, but we had the finest facilities…… With an endless supply of fresh bodies….
I remember when I first saw her….. Well part of her. I was working late as part of my extra curricular. My professor trusted me with the keys. She had just came in earlier that day. She was laying cold an naked of by the corner, all by herself. Her skin had the most peculiar tint of yellow. I ventured closer because I had never seen such an odd tint before. I looked down at her face and was absolutely spellbound….. “What a radiant butterfly, you are,” I spoke out loud. And by that I meant every word.
I was captivated….. Her hair, long locks of curls. The color of dandy lions. Full, smooth lips and cheek bones…… I could of sworn I was peering down upon a sculpture of some Greek goddess.
But her body……. So badly burned. My heart sank at the thought of such a tragedy.
I pulled myself away and continued my work but soon found myself thinking of her. Such a pity…..
A woman that was so young and beautiful now lies dead, horribly disfigured. I just couldn’t keep her out of my head. It was as if she was calling out to me…… reaching out for help! I could almost hear her sobbing.
The thought tormented me so….. I had to help her…..
I began searching through the meat locker……. That’s what we jokingly called the walk-in cooler, where we kept bodies and various body parts. I tried to find a body like hers….. One just as beautiful, but to no avail. They were either too short, too tall, too fat or completely the wrong gender….. Ah! But in a pile of limbs carelessly packed inside of a chest freezer I found the most perfect leg. It was long and slender. Slightly a shade off, but nothing that I couldn’t airbrush with a little finesse. Like child digging through his toy box, I searched for it’s mate.
Too ambitious for neatness, I carelessly tossed body parts about. I knew the other leg had to be in there. And I was right…. All the way at the bottom I had found it. I snatched the other leg and excitedly
Ran to her. Hiding the legs behind my back I called out to her, “My little Buttercup!” Yes! I called her Buttercup. “I have a surprise for you!” I then proudly displayed the long pair of legs I had found for her.
You know? I could almost swear she was smiling. Believing that she approved I quickly went work. Oh, it was sloppy at first…. No tailor was I. But I kept at it. And in time I had successfully sowed the two legs onto her body.
I stood there for what seemed like hours, just admiring my work. until a loud slam startled me.
“Someone’s coming!” I thought. “I had to hide her…. What would they say if we where to be discovered? Surely, they would not understand!” I wasted no time in clean up. Then I rolled her into the meat locker and easily closed the door. Wile I was still wiping my hands dry, I hurried up the stairs to see who was coming. I made it up the first flight of stairs when I remembered, “The freezer! My God! There’s heads and limbs everywhere!” I shot back down the stairs missing every other step. I quickly picked up all the body parts and crammed them back into the freezer. Just as I had slammed the lid shut I saw Tom, the janitor standing at the doorway.
He just stood there, poised……. As if confused by what he had just saw. “Can I help you?” I asked him, trying to sound calm. “It’s late. What are you doing here?” he asked with this grim look on his face. I could barely see his mouth move from behind his blond, bushy mustache. “It’s okay,” I replied, “My professor gave me the key.” “Turn the lights out when you leave,” he said, before walking back out the door. What a huge sigh of relief I let out…..
As days went on I continued my labor of love. I had a copy made of the key and could come and go anytime I pleased. Some nights I just sat there next to her……. Talking. Many things, I told her….. My favorite music, best places to eat, I even told her about how I lost my virginity. It became clearer to me just how much our relationship had grown over those past few weeks. So I decided to ask her to move in with me. Oh, she refused at first, but eventually she came around. We were so happy…… She and I.
I pulled my car around to the back loading docks. I had the hardest time getting it into reverse. I drive a 68’ beetle, yellow with a sunroof……… And it can be a bit tricky getting it into reverse, but I did.
Of course it was all for nothing, because the trunk is in the front of the car and not in the back! Clearly, I wasn’t thinking straight. I had so much on my mind that my head was spinning. I quickly ran in for her. I had almost made it back out with her, when Tom came around the corner. “Woe! What in the hell are you doing?” he asked. I had to think quickly. I don’t know how I dreamed this up, but I responded,” The Meat locker is down! If I don’t get this body on ice right now my grade is at stake!”
With the cart I pushed him out of the way. As I cleared the door way I heard him ask,” But where are you taking the body?” “Home!” I replied, “I have a chest freezer!” Tom had little time to argue. After all, he was the head janitor. And the meat locker was thawing…… I carefully laid her into the trunk and sped off into the night…… Just like Bonny and Clyde…..
When I pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex, I told her to wait there. I wanted to make sure no one was around, so I ran into the court yard and looked….. Not a soul….. I noticed my breath was freezing in the cold midnight air and feared my little Buttercup would be cold. So I ran upstairs to my place to grab a warm blanket. But when I made it back to the parking lot I was shocked to find the hood of my car was up. “No!” I cried, “Some one stole my Buttercup!” I quickly ran over to my car and saw the trunk was indeed empty….. Except for a piece of paper torn from one of my note books. I held the paper up to one of the lamp posts and read it.
DEAR JAY,
THESE PAST FEW WEEKS WHERE THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. AND I COULD NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME. BUT, YOU AND I??? WE JUST WEREN’T MADE FOR EACH OTHER. SO I DECIDED TO FIND MY OWN WAY. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FORGIVE ME…….
YOURS TRULY,
YOUR LITTLE
BUTTERCUP

Reload because I had some “Opps” areas that were driving me nuts. Now all fixed! I know there are many more wonderful TV couples out there, but this is just a montage of some of my all time favorites. It’s Not Over. Romantic television couples montage. I picked this song because the “Great Loves” are never truly over. Atleast not to us, the fans that loved them so. Song by Chris Daughtry. Just a fan music video. I own nothing and no money has been made from this MVid. Please dont forget to rate and comments are always welcome.
