Cookie Girl:

Simone’s Notes:

Since at least 1450, the pejorative words slut, harlot, tramp, whore describe a sexually promiscuous woman. In great contrast to the glamour of rake for men, slut is unglamorous and also historically refers to an unhygienic woman who is personally dirty and unkempt. According to a study, New Zealand women are the most promiscuous in the world with an average of 20.4 sexual partners.

Tina Newman was really in need to reawake her love life again. So, she dolled herself up in her finest make-up and went out on a hunt. So far, she came up empty-handed. A year and three months later turned up nothing for the “romantic heroine” as she called herself. No man would have her. They all knew her rep too well. The ones Tina found attractive were already married and the single ones weren’t attractive to her. The sergeant seemed to be in a pickle. That was until she ran into William Howard again.

Tina was working the morning shift around Central Headquarters were he walked into the building for work. William, or Bill as she affectionately called her, was reporting for duty. When Newman saw him again, her heart skipped a wild beat. She instantly began to remember all of the great times that she had with Bill. He was like her love doll. They had a continuous on-again and off-again relationship over the past five years. The last time they were together was what she called long hours in Heaven. The sergeant thought that she would never see him again. But now, it was as if fate had brought them together somehow. “It’s him!” she thought. “It’s really him! He’s actually here!” Tina quickly straightened herself up some with her face and hair and waited until Bill was finished with reporting.

She followed him down the hall and carefully followed behind. This was one of their greetings to each other. This of course was her favorite out of many with guys that she adored. “Closer!” she thought. “Closer!” Her heart was pounding in an excited rush. It was only a matter of seconds… Bill was about to go around the corner when Tina jetted forward and leapt hard onto his back and grabbed on!

“BILLY!!!!” she cried out in happy affection as she held onto like a leech to human flesh.

“WHOA!!!” the warrant officer yelled out as he tried to keep his balance.

“CARRY ME, HORSEY!!!! CARRY ME!!!” she screamed out. Bill sighed hard as he rushed her down the hall and all the way outside.

“WHEE!!!” Tina called out happily. The man sighed hard to himself as he was running to the yard.

When they got outside, William lightly settle his former flame down on the ground by her feet. Tina was laughing out loud like a happy little child. Bill looked at her in disappointment. Tina calmed down and smiled at him. Bill was a handsome man. Short light almond hair, deep brown eyes, light freckles on his cheeks, boyish face, nice white teeth, slender with some muscle to his body, and tall. Tina always admired him in his uniform. He was just a sexy man in her eyes.

“You’re here!” the sergeant called to him happily. Bill tried to smile at her.

“Yes,” he replied. “I was transferred here last week.” Tina couldn’t help but to smile at him again. “His voice is so sexy too!” she thought happily. Happy memories of their nights together flooded her head. They first met in their senior year of the Alchemist academy. Even then, Tina tried many ways just to be by his side every chance she got. Oh yeah! Those were happy times for them both indeed! Right then, Newman just couldn’t fight it anymore. She rushed forward and kissed him deeply on the lips. The man was completely taken by surprise. He clearly didn’t want this forceful affection put upon him. He tried his best as soon as possible to fight him off. It was all like wrestling with a 300 pound grizzly bear with, but he managed to finally push her away. Tina looked at him confused.

“What’s wrong baby?” she asked sweetly. William looked at her with a pale face. Sure, he was happy to see Newman again, but things had changed between them. A whole year could do so much to a person.

“I’m sorry, Tina,” he said at last. “But things have changed.” Tina looked at him a little hurt and confused.

“What do you mean Billy?” she asked in the same happy-sounding voice as before.

“Don’t call me that!!!” William yelled out. Tina was really concerned now. The warrant officer took in a deep breath before speaking again. “I have met someone else!” he announced at last. “There, I said it!” Tina was really crushed now.

“WHAT?!?” she yelled out unhappily. Bill nodded at her sadly.

“But… But…” Tina stammered out. Her former flame lightly put his finger to her tarty lips. His girl slowly went quiet again. Bill smiled at her sadly.

“Her name is Karen,” he explained slowly. “We met when we were in the South. Karen and I have been married for six months now.”

“Six months?!?” Tina yelled out. Bill nodded.

“But… You were with me for five years!!!” she cried out.

“I know, Tina,” her former flame replied. “I know. I mean, come on! Did you really expect us to work out in the end?” The sergeant nodded sadly. She was now trying her best to fight back her tears. The man she had loved had just ripped out her heart and stepped on it. Bill felt pity for her.

“Look Tina,” he said. “I still carry a torch for you. But the path we were on it was only going to get worse in the long run. All we ever did was have sex constantly.”

“But wasn’t that enough for you?” Newman wailed out.

“It used to be,” Bill replied. “But I’ve grown up since then. I need something more stable now. I want to settle and have a family. I’m not going to play around on Karen. I am planning to make this marriage work.” Tears were now falling slowly on the sergeant’s cheek. Bill lightly brushed them away. Then, he softly kissed her on the lips. Tina felt a little better after that. Then, William slowly pulled away again.

“Goodbye, Tina.” he said to her softly. The warrant officer walked away without looking back. Tina was left there broken hearted. Any normal woman would’ve just let the man go back to his wife. But, Newman was not the normal woman. She was plotting to get William back and keep him for herself. “Don’t worry my love,” she thought. “I will have you back for good!” From then, on Sergeant Tina Newman was on a personal mission to win back Warrant Officer William Howard forever. This was going to prove to be much easier than she had expected! All she had to do was work her feminine charms on him. After all, she was the “romantic heroine” for nothing!
