Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken.
“Ken, what’s up? you’re looking a bit blue?”
Sindy siddled up to Ken, who was stood, leaning against the barriers, looking out over the river.
“What? Oh nah, I’m fine. Just chillin’, you know.” He stepped back, trying to put a little distance between himself and the brunette bombshell who had caused enough strife between him and Barbie already.
“I saw you and Barbie looking a little stressed out the other day, in the bar? Everything okay?” She put her hand on his arm, and gave it a reasurring squeeze. Instead of lifting it straight away, she let it rest there.
Ken tensed under her touch. He looked around. Knowing his luck Barbie was watching him, and she’d misconstrue this meeting too.
It had taken him hours to convince her that there was nothing going on between him and Sindy. No amount of Prosecco helped.
He lifted Sindy’s hand off his arm. “Yeah, all good. Never better, yeah.”
“Well, if you ever wanna, you know, talk, you got my number…” Sindy looked at him, winked, and strode off.
Now, what was that all about? Ken shook his head. He’d never get women…

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken.
She stood at the bar window, looking out over the snow dusted landscape, wishing it wasn’t melting so fast.
“Babe, it’s a shame you couldn’t sort the snow out… I really wanted a white Christmas this year!” Barbie turned to her long-suffering boyfriend Ken.
“Did you see on Instagram, how much snow the others had in Scotland? And this…sludge… is what we get.” She pouted like a 3-year-old.
Finally sensing a thaw in her icy treatment of him, after the episode last week, when he’d not been waiting for her at the sports bar, rather, he’d left her waiting whislt dreaming of other women, Ken grasped the chance to get back into her good books.
“I’ll just check the weather app on my phone, Babe… Let’s see what we can do.” Ken wandered over to the bar to get himself a pint, and a Prosecco for the lady, and to figure out what to do.
Seriously? She wanted snow now? In the middle of Essex? That idea of the undemanding Sindy as his girlfriend was seriously appealing…
As if the cosmos had been listening, the door to the bar opened and in walked Sindy and her friends. They piled in, bringing a gust of cold wind with them.
Sindy spotted Ken and came rushing over, kissing him on both cheeks. “Hiya Ken darling! How are you? Been let off your leash then, have you?” She winked at him.
He looked over at where Barbie was standing, no longer looking out of the window, but in his direction, the ice forming in her eyes once more, as she surveyed the scene; her man surrounded by ‘bimbos’ and one with her arms slung over his shoulders.
“Er, ha ha, yeah, funny Sind. Listen got to go, drinks are getting warm. See you round!” Ken grabbed his pint and the bubble filled flute and rushed back to his very own Ice Queen…
Sindy watched him retreat, and noticed the look on Barbie’s face… Hmm. Trouble in paradise?

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken.
Ken sat staring out across the fields, deep in thought, as the sun began to set. Mists clouded his vision, as the hours passed, so he closed his eyes and began to ponder…
Did she really love him, or was she taking him for a total fool? He wracked his brains daily, trying to fulfil her every need and dream, and nothing was ever enough…
Maybe it was time.
Time to join his boys back in the dating ring.
There were plenty of other girls out there; take Sindy, she was always giving him the eye. Sweet, simple Sindy. She looked like the appreciative type. She’d love all his attempts at showing his affection.
“Ken! Mate! Wake up!”
“What?!” Joey hadn’t been with him under the tree? Ken opened his eyes in confusion.
“Mate, you are red as a lobster, man!” Slowly the mist-like steam cleared and the silhouette of his best mate became clearer. “You know you’re only meant to be in here for, like, half an hour at a time! You’ve been sat in here for 3 hours!”
It all came back to him… They’d come to the gym for a workout, and sauna, and were meant to be meeting the girls for drinks in the bar after.
“And you need to get your skates on… Barbie’s screwing out there! She’s been waiting for you for the last 20 minutes!” Joey left the sauna, and more steam escaped with him.
Barbie? Kept waiting? Oh man, he was really going to get it in the neck tonight!

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken. A little limerick-al today!
Said Barbie to Ken one day
“I don’t want to go that way
That portal looks dirty,
No, don’t get all flirty
If my shoes get ruined, you’ll pay!”
Said Ken to Barbie ” Oh Babe,
Just trust me please, I pray
Just through there we’ll go
And you’ll find the snow
I’m sure there’s even a sleigh!”
“Just kill me now,” she said
“Oh God, I’d rather be dead
Than to sit on a crate
With your dressed up mate!”
And she left Ken scratching his head
“These women are too hard to please
Said Ken, “She can be such a tease”
“I’ve tried everything.
I really can’t win
Is it time to find a new squeeze?”

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
I thought I’d continue the adventures of Barbie and Ken! Will he ever learn???
“This, Babe,” Barbie turned towards Ken,” this, is just perfect!”
She looked around the winter wonderland surrounding her and sighed.
She had dreamed of a white Christmas for so long, and finally, Ken had got something right.
A surprise truly worth having!
Looks like the magic of Christmas had worked for Ken!
“No no no no no!”
He turned to see Barbie manically crunching around in the snow, phone held aloft.
“There’s no signal Babe! No WiFi either! How am I gonna get my selfies posted now? I told you we should have just booked to go to the Winter Wonderland in London!”
Ken rolled his eyes… It had been too good to be true… no matter how he tried, he never got it right!
