"Charlie Eppes, are you still on that? It's like you're in another world!" Charlie heard Susan distantly, somewhere beyond the page of intransigent symbols he'd been staring at for the last... he couldn't remember how long. But another five minutes and he'd make it work, he knew he would.

Then something pink-yellowish interposed itself between Charlie and the page, resolving into Susan's hand holding a french fry. Charlie opened his mouth to say something and Susan shoved in the fry, her rounded fingertips brushing his bottom lip as they withdrew. The fry was hot and potatoey and suddenly Charlie was profoundly, stomach-gurglingly hungry.

He looked up as Susan stepped back, holding a bowl of fries in front of her astoundingly naked breasts. His girlfriend was wearing only pink panties, holding hot food, smirking a little as she stood out of arm's reach. "Want another chip?"

Charlie nodded as he swallowed, and Susan maddeningly stepped away. "Then come away from that notebook," she said, standing in the doorway.

Charlie glanced at the page, but he could smell the fries she held, and she was very close to naked, and maybe it'd all make more sense in the morning. Flipping the notebook shut, Charlie stood up.

HA!!! Of course she would have to learn to do that, or she'd never get him out of the math. Heee! I so know that feeling of discovering you're starving to death after the first bite. Omg.

Nicely Done! I have to write some slutty!Susan ono of these days. You and Emma are having all the fun!

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

*beams* Thank you. And you should totally write Susan! She deserves more love.

HEE!

Desperate times, desperate measures... I too have known the love of an obsessed and brilliant man with incredible powers of focus and yes, food and sex are the killer combo to wrench them away from their passionate pursuits.

But damn you, now I want pommes frites with mayo. /grumbles/ I guess I'll just have to settle for sex with Susan instead.

*Reading* sex with Susan. Yeah, that's what I meant. Semantics... ;-)

! Who have you got over there in your apartment, lady?

Ah, man. When I have my weekly fries I'll have to have them with mayo (I liked that even before I found out it was the style across the pond). My making you hungry made me hungry!

Well there *is* a man in the house ATM, but he rather belongs to the roomie, so I shall keep my hands off especially since she's not home yet. /grins/

Have you tried fries with tartar sauce? It's big in the Pacific Northwest and rather yummy! I just have a weakness for warm mayo, preferably with bacon. Mmm... Bacon...

Aw, this is adorable! Naked and holding chips, Susan knows how to get the attention of a 20-year-old boy :)

No-one's ever thanked me for something I didn't beta before; I am highly flattered :)

But another five minutes and he'd make it work, he knew he would.

In coding circles we have a phrase for that: "One last compile!"

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Susan always struck me as eminently sensible. :D And you're very welcome; you deserve the thanks.

Oh, I've heard "one more compile" indeed. I'm not a computer person, but I have friends who are.

At one point this year I had an appointment in my calender every day at 5.30pm: You should go home now, or phone to say you aren't coming. We now have three devs out of the team who live in roughly the same direction and tend to walk home together, so there's a good chance that at least one of us will be wanting to leave at an appropriate time and collect the others.

Heeeeeeeeeeee! That's great. Loved Susan using food and her boobs to distract him.

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

She's a smart girl. :D

I like the last paragraph, Charlie does have a good point!

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

*grin* Thank you. :)

[ladygray99]

I have on occasion cooked entire meals topless to ensure my man will crawl away from the computer to eat them. I so get Susan here. :-)

[rubynye.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes. I've been on both ends of this.
