Into the Dreaming:

Simone’s Notes:

From a centre of self knowledge and self differentiation intimate behaviour joins family, close friends as well as those with whom one is in love. It dwells in a reciprocity, which builds on self-disclosure and candor. However, poor development of intimacy can lead to getting too close too quickly; struggling to find the boundary and to sustain connection; being poorly skilled as a friend, rejecting self-disclosure or even rejecting friendships and those who have them. The main forms of intimacy are emotional intimacy and physical intimacy. Intellectual intimacy, familiarity with a person's culture and interests, is common among friends. Members of religious or philosophic groups may also perceive a "spiritual intimacy" in their commonality. Some describe intimacy with the homonymous "into me see". Intimacy can also be identified as knowing someone in depth, knowing many different aspects of a person or knowing how they would respond in different situations, because of the many experiences you've shared with them. Some lose themselves in the first flush of love. 'Falling in love' is a little different from intimacy per se. Some are engulfed by their families in a way that is not close or intimate even though it is described that way by those who are consumed by their family. The first flush of love can be like that too, but slowly the individual will assert themselves and this test the willingness of both to be intimate.

“Hey Vato,” Izzie said to her boyfriend as they were cuddling in bed. The sun hadn’t come up yet. The couple had become more cuddly in bed more and more often. Izzie was looking for more ways to make their relationship more intimate. The sex was almost completing it. The nurse didn’t want to get married just yet. She was almost out of ideas until she found a new way to be more intimate.

“Yes?” the lt. asked his nurse girlfriend.

“I’ve got a great idea for our relationship,” Izzie said aloud.

“What is that?” Falman asked in excitement. The nurse looked at him smiling.

“Let’s add our relationships to the map!” she spoke up. Vato looked at her shocked.

“What?!?” he asked. Izzie kept smiling at him.

“Come on, babe!” she encouraged. “Yasmine and Steven added their relationship to the map and they’re much stronger now!” Vato still looked uneasy.

“I’m not sure…” he said. “Do we really want to past our past out for the world to see?”

“Yes!” the nurse said. “We won’t have any secrets between us! Please?” Falman thought about that for a moment. He finally gave in to her simple little request.

“Fine,” he said. “We’ll add ourselves to the map at sunrise.” Izzie became really happy.

“Thanks Vato!” she exclaimed. Then she kissed him on the lips deeply. Falman kissed her back. The nurse was really happy. Their relationship was growing forward.

By sunrise, Izzie knocked on Molly’s door.

“Coming!” the young journalist called. Izzie waited in excitement. This moment was going to be huge. In seconds, Molly opened the door. The girl was still dressed in her pajamas. It was clear that she had just woken up. Izzie kept smiling at her brightly.

“Hi!” she chirped. “I’ve come to be added to your map!” Molly’s eyes lit up in joy.

“Really?” she asked happily.

“Yeah,” the nurse replied. Molly perked up real fast.

“Follow me!” she said. Then she walked down the hall to the map. Izzie followed behind closely. They came to the slowly growing map. Molly took her marker and uncapped it.

“Okay,” she said. “Your name?”

“Izzie Morrison,” the nurse answered. Molly wrote down the nurse’s name. She turned to Izzie again.

“Who were or are in a relationship with?” the girl asked. Izzie drew in a deep breath.

“Vato Falman is my current boyfriend,” she answered. “I flirted with Isaac Riis for a brief moment.” Then, she became sad and bitter. She wanted to stop, but knew that she couldn’t. The truth had to come out. “Darius Lennon raped me for many years,” Izzie admitted softly. Molly wrote down the three names around hers with a shutter. Then she drew the lines connecting them together. The young journalist turned to the nurse yet again when she was done.

“Have anyone been with anyone else before you or currently?” she asked. Izzie mood changed as she thought about that for a moment.

“I think Isaac is with Callie Ramirez at the moment,” she replied. “But I’m not to sure. You better confirm first before you write it down. Other than that, not to my knowledge.” Molly capped her pen and smiled. Then she took out her pen and took a picture of the map. Another success was gained.

“Well then,” she said. “I’m done for the moment.” Then, the young journalist headed back to her apartment again. Izzie just stood there staring at the map. There is all was. Her relationships were all out in the open. She was relived now. Now, she and Falman were intimate.

Later around lunch, Vato saw the map. A few soldiers were crowded around it. Curious, the lt. went over to check things out. Havoc looked up and saw.

“Hey!” he greeted. Falman looked slightly confused.

“What’s going on?” he asked. Havoc just pointed to the map.

“Molly has added your name to her map,” he replied.

“Huh?” the other lt. asked. He looked forward quickly. It was true! Falman’s name was on the board. Izzie’s name was connected his as well. But that wasn’t just it. Isaac’s name was connected to Izzie’s as well. That wasn’t the surprise. But Darius’s name was. Falman wasn’t expecting this at all. He was really confused in fact. Havoc turned to him surprised.

“Izzie slept with Darius?” he asked in shock. Vato didn’t want to believe it. This had to be a trick. Yeah, that’s it. This was a sick joke. But, why would Izzie do such a thing? Well, there was only one way to find out. Falman quietly backed away from the crowd and hurried back to his apartment.

The nurse was in the apartment cleaning. She was dressed in dark blue short shorts and a black tube top. Her blonde was flooding loose. She looked like a fashion model. Falman just couldn’t help but to stare at her. The man wanted to grab her down and nail her on the spot. But then, he remembered his mission. “No!” the lt. thought. “I must get the truth first before we screw!” He stepped forward to her.

“Hi darling!” the nurse chirped when she heard him come in and close the door behind him. Falman froze up in his tracks. He really didn’t want to ask for fear of her answer. But it just had to come out. Otherwise, he would go utterly mad.

“Uh… Izzie,” the lt. spoke up to her casually. The nurse didn’t look up at all. Falman pushed himself to ask her the question.

“Can I ask you something?” he asked.

“Sure,” his girl replied. Vato swallowed hard.

“Did you sleep with Darius Lennon one time?” he asked her in sad boldness. Izzie froze at that one. She too became sad too. The nurse knew this moment was coming. She didn’t want it to. But in order to be more intimate, it had to come out now. She slowly dropped her cloth on the nightstand.

“He raped me,” she said in a low voice. Falman was really surprised.

“What?!?” he asked in shock. Izzie looked up at him with tears in her eyes. She broke down and told him all. Everything was in full detail. Her father’s shady business ties, meeting Darius for the first time, him raping her, Darius making her his forced slut, breaking away, and getting revenge. It was all there- raw and hard to escape. Falman listened to every single word closely. He felt really bad for his girl. In the end, Izzie finally broke down crying. Even though she got even in the end, the whole ordeal was still painful.

“There, you see?” the nurse asked aloud. “That was my relationship with Darius! Nothing more!” Falman was deeply moved by her story. He rushed forward and hugged her close to his body. Izzie just cried up against his chest in deep sorrow. The lt. lightly ran his fingers lightly through her long blonde hair.

“There, there,” he said to her softly. “It’s okay now.” Then, he leaned down and lightly kissed her on the lips. Suddenly, the nurse felt better again. She kissed him back quickly. The couple didn’t stop kissing from there. Vato lead his nurse girlfriend all the way back to their bedroom. He pinned her back on the bed and quickly started stripping her down. Izzie grabbed at his clothes and proceeded to yank them off as well. The moment became instantly hotter from there. The lt. and the nurse hot and passionately made love on their bed. Izzie found herself in a deeper new world of pleasure. It wasn’t like the times before. It wasn’t like the depending fresh times that she and him had slept together. No! This was much deeper and perfect than before. This was perfect love. This was close and so deep. This was so real. This was… intimacy. The nurse was surprising happy that she had finally achieved her goal.

“Deeper! Harder!” she yelled to her lt. boyfriend. Falman complied to her in deep ecstasy and bliss. The nurse just moaned aloud happily. After a long while, Vato came hard within Izzie. Both moaned aloud in deep happiness. Falman collapsed next to her panting in wide bliss. His girl just lied beside of him smiling.

“That was…” the lt. began.

“…Intimate!” the nurse completed. Falman just smiled at her and kissed her lightly on the lips. The nurse kissed him back. Vato just went to sleep beside of his girl. Izzie just lightly shut her eyes smiling to herself. She had finally achieved it. She and Falman were finally at a new level of intimacy!
