Contest "Girlfriend for a Gnome" (story) - TheDoctor - (4/5)
| ”Over here!”, shouted Bink. Gnork heard but did not see his friend. The large gathering cavern was filled with gnomes from all over the island, going about their social interactions - trading, gossiping or just meeting with friends. It was a place of feast and solitude, a mix too important for the average gnome to ignore. Gnork, however, had not want to come this evening but Bink had insisted. At the other side of the throng, Gnork saw his friend standing beside a table, waving his short arm. Sighing, Gnork walked up to him with a sort of anxious curiosity, wondering what all the fuzz was about which had forced him there. Bink just grinned as Gnork took his place next to him and they both sat down. ”Bink”, he greeted. ”So I'm here. Now will you tell me what's the big deal?” ”Not WHAT but WHERE, my friend. And it's over THERE” said Bink with a smile, pointing in in a direction behind Gnork. Gnork turned around, gazing where Bink had pointed. And there, at the other side of the throng, he saw her. A pair of big, beautiful, intelligent brown eyes: A large and perfectly bulky nose; Pale, creamy skin; Figure so proportional it made Gnork go mad with attraction. There she was just this moment, the love of his life since they had both been little gnomers. He looked at Bink with a frozen expression of panic. Bink looked back, knocked him on the shoulder. ”Just go. You can thank me later.” Heda leaned forward, whispering. ”There he is!” Blargina gleaned at where Heda was looking, saw Bink sitting by a table with a friend at the other side of the cavern. The two of them were looking right back at the two ladies and Heda quickly turned her head away, blushing. ”You are so childish,” Blargina said. Heda giggled at the accusation but Blargina seemed quite serious. She had always been a loner herself; always been afraid of letting someone close to her. Heda, on the other hand, was a real boy-magnet. ”What 'bout Gnork, ' Gina? He's kind of cute as well. Besides, he's always looking at you. He's doing it right now!” ”I know, I know..” muttered Blargina. She had never given Gnork any attention although it was obvious he had emotions for her. He was simply too quiet. Gnome women normally went for the shouty ones, like Bink. In spite of this, Blargina knew she shouldn't be so closed up. An increasing number of humans arriving at the island had become a growing threat which underlined the fact that she and Heda was at their right ages of settling down, raise a family. Heda wore jewelry in her ears along with a fashionable leather hat and a brown, patterned dress. Blargina sighed, feeling poor and unattractive in comparance. She took a sip out of her jug of rice wine, thinking she would wait this evening out – Heda would walk over to Bink and Blargina herself would either be left behind or forced to go home. That's how it works. She turned around and was surprised to find Gnork standing nervously in front of her: ”Hello”, he said. |
