All I Want... 25 Days of Christmas Challenge, Day 7

November 21st - Part 4

“DAMN, THIS MAN!!!”

DeeDee stared at Erik’s latest response. How many more times was she gonna say that tonight? What was she supposed to do with what he said? The man wanted to see her as is, and she did not share anything about how she looks. It’s not like she wasn’t curious about what he looked like now or even how he might sound. Because that has crossed her mind plenty of times as they exchanged email after email. Especially what his face looked like when she switched up his name. 

“UGH...why do you have to be like this?” 

And he left the final decision in her hands. Why didn’t he just try to video call her? You know, see what happened. “Because he knew you wouldn’t answer.” She nodded. Of course, there was no way she would have picked up a surprise call. She sighed, “No pressure, my ass.”

DeeDee reached for her phone. Maybe if she spoke with Phyllis and Beverly, she would gain some clarity. She started typing out her S.O.S. message and then stopped. “Shit, I can’t call them. Then they would know I was lying about the book.” And what a great book he turned out to be. She huffed and tossed the phone onto the coffee table. 

Her playlist was still blaring and when ‘Silver Tongue Devil’ by Masego came on, she rolled her eyes. It was an appropriate sentiment about the man who she has spent the past few hours chatting with. The decision to drop their conversation for the night was ultimately in her hands thanks to him. 

She wrung her hands and looked at the coffee table. The wine bottle was next to her laptop. DeeDee popped up and went to the fridge. She grabbed a bottle of water, returned to her seat on the couch and set it on the table. If she was going to do this, she needed to sober up a bit. 

---

Erik walked out of his bathroom, he tied his towel around his waist. His tablet buzzed and rang on his bed. He walked over to it and pressed the screen to answer the call.

"Hello."

"Uh, Mr. Erik?" The melodious voice rang out from his tablet.

He picked it up, “DeeDee?” Erik was greeted by a hooded figure with glasses, wide eyes and a flushed face. 

DeeDee looked down and away before she addressed him. “And here I thought you would be in a hoodie and sweats, like me.” 

He saw her reach forward and twist the top off a bottle. She looked away from the camera while she drank from it. When she finally returned her gaze to him, he smiled at her. 

DeeDee choked on the water and abruptly stopped the video. 

Erik checked to see if the call was still connected, “DeeDee, you ok?”

“Do you have clothes on?” She squeaked out.

“Not yet.” He could hear her take a deep breath. “Give me a moment.”

---

DeeDee muted herself, kicked her feet up and screamed. 

It took her a whole half an hour to get up the nerve to make the call. She curled up on the couch and threw her hood up. She knew the overhead light would still allow him to see enough of her until she was ready for a full reveal. 

Nothing prepared her for what showed up on the screen. At first, she saw the ceiling and heard his smooth, deep voice greet her. But when he called her name and lifted up the tablet, DeeDee looked respectfully and then closed her eyes. 

This man had the audacity to answer the video call shirtless. Not just shirtless, but straight out of the shower. She could still picture the water droplets across his shoulders and chest. So, he was basically naked. Just from that not so sneaky peek, she knew he was a well-built man.  

DeeDee bit down on her closed fist. “He has dreads, a beard and dimples?!?” She shook her head. “Lord, I wanted my Ph.D. before you called me home.” 

She closed her eyes and took a couple of deep breaths to calm her rattled nerves. So, he’s smart, compassionate, and fine. Erik was the entire package and DeeDee’s smile softened. NOT YOURS, kept flashing across her mind’s eye. 

“DeeDee?” His voice called her attention back to her laptop.

“Then I’m gonna enjoy this moment.” She whispered to herself and sat up. 

“I’m back and fully clothed.” Erik spoke up.

DeeDee unmuted herself and started the video again. She shyly waved at the camera. “Thank you.”

It looked like he was sitting in the corner of a large sectional couch. Now dressed in a black hoodie and gray sweats. 

“Better?” 

“Much.”

“Okay. So, let’s start over.” He turned his camera off and then flipped it back on, “Hi DeeDee.”

“Hi Mr. Stevens.” DeeDee giggled. 

---

“So, you really aren’t gonna call me Erik?” 

DeeDee shook her head and continued to giggle, her shoulders bounced as she did. Erik took that moment to really look at her. 

Her hood fell back a bit revealing curly black hair, dark brown eyes and purple glitter frames. DeeDee’s cheeks filled out as she smiled and snickered at him. 

Erik reached for his glass of whiskey. He couldn’t control the smile that appeared on his face. She’s beautiful, even more than he imagined. Together with her soft and sweet voice, Erik knew he was a goner. He watched as she calmed down from her laughing fit. 

“You good?” He asked as he lifted the glass to his lips. 

“I’m great. And you?” He watched as she picked up a bottle of wine and emptied it into a glass.

 “DeeDee?” He lifted an eyebrow at her.

“Huh?” Her big, bright eyes blinked at him. 

“Are we really gonna do this?”

“Do what?” She looked up at him over the top of her glasses.

He looked down into his glass, then back up at DeeDee. She brought her drink to her lips and winked at him. 

Erik broke, he started laughing and DeeDee followed. 

“Goofy.” He spoke softly.

“Is that a bad thing?” Her laughter died down.

“No, not at all.” He set his glass down and lifted the tablet from his lap, “It’s actually a pleasant surprise, much like your beautiful smile.” 

---

She set the wine glass down and put her hand over her mouth.

“Don’t do that. I wanted to see it. That’s why I suggested the call.”

DeeDee moved her hand and glanced at him. But she couldn’t keep eye contact with him. 

“DeeDee,” he sang, “Look at me.” 

She slowly lifted her gaze to meet his, “Better?”

“Much.” He winked at her. 

“Please stop doing that.” She closed her eyes but kept her head faced forward.

“Stop what?”

“Winking at me.” DeeDee replied in a softer tone as she opened her eyes.

“Now, why would I do that?” 

“Because I asked nicely.” 

“I could do that. But then you have to do something for me.” Erik smirked at her. 

DeeDee rolled her eyes and pouted at him. 

“You already know what I am gonna ask, right?”

She nodded and reached for her wine.

“DeeDee.”

She took a sip and glared in his direction.

“DeeDee.”

“Yes.” She mumbled.

“Say my name.” His voice was much deeper this time. 

DeeDee bit her lip, and took a deep breath. “Hello Erik.” 

“It’s nice to meet you.” He smiled at her. 

She groaned.

---

“Not fair. You said you would stop.” Her voice rose as she spoke.

“I agreed to not wink at you anymore.” 

DeeDee rubbed her temples. 

Erik enjoyed watching her get flustered. DeeDee shifted around in her seat, dropping her legs to the floor. He could make out the Columbia Blue and Gold Southern logo on the front of her hoodie as she stuffed her hands in the front pocket. 

“Do I make you nervous, D --”

“Yes.” She blurted out.

“Why?” 

Erik was used to women’s reactions to him, but this felt different. As much as he delighted in her reaction to him and simple things like a smile and wink. He did not want it to get uncomfortable for her. He still wanted the chance to get to know her.

“It’s ok. You don’t have to answer that.”  

“I wasn’t expecting you to --” She waved her hands around, “Do you always answer video calls like that?”

Erik laughed as DeeDee pulled her hood down to shield herself from his view. It was too late for that. She was already committed to his memory. 

“No, I don’t.”

“So what happened?” 

“I forgot.”

DeeDee cackled, “Nuh uh. How do you forget something like that?” She shook her head at him. 

“It’s easy to forget when you were hoping that someone wanted to continue talking to you.”

She folded her knees into her chest. “Oh.”

“DeeDee.” Erik waited until she looked at him. “What made you call me?”

“I was curious about you, too.” 

Erik lifted his glass of whiskey to her. DeeDee grabbed her wine and returned the gesture.

DeeDee and Erik both smiled at one another and took a drink.

Any tips on how to actually write out your fic like you see it in your head? 😅

Frieeend!! This is my greatest struggle when writing!!

Personally, what I do is bullet point everything! I do a plot outline that goes exactly how I envision it AS SOON AS I ENVISION IT because when I give myself time, I'll forget details that could have contributed to the overall success of achieving that goal.

Often times I'll imagine different pieces of dialogue and I put that all there too.

When it's time to write it, I try to see how well I can do without the outline and then I go back and fill in the gaps with it when I get stuck. But when I do my final draft, I always try to think of it from the reader's perspective. If I'm writing it, I see everything clearly- but what did I leave out that could bring clarity to them? Or do I intentionally withold these details because I may need to reveal it in the next part?

That's kind of my process to do that.

I also be creating playlist and pinterest boards to help me capture the overall essence and keep me thinking of the theme I'm writing.

I really hope there's something you can glean from this friend!! I like this question and I'm really curious how others would respond so Immq tag a couple of humans who I love to read their work/hear some feedback from if they're up to it!
