As I mentioned previously, I had no intention of Blind Girl's Bluff being more than a one-off. I am ecstatic that you liked the characters enough to ask for more of their story.
In this chapter, Sophie takes over as narrator.
I will warn you that this got a little darker than I'd anticipated. If you hit a part of the story that makes you uncomfortable, I'm sorry. Stop when you need to. Everything here is consensual. I don't do non-consent.

--( flash-back )--
I'm done with my last class of the day -- Physics -- and I'm heading back to Geoffrey's apartment.
Geoffrey would say it's OUR apartment but the whole fucking bite-in-the-ass that I got from Cal a few weeks ago is still fresh in my mind.
.. so what did I do? I fucking lose one crutch.. only to pick up a new one!
I mean..
I really DO feel like I can trust Geoffrey.
.. but, then, I thought that with Cal for almost two years too.. before I started smelling Veronica on him.
Ass-licker.
Literally. LOL!
Yes.
I don't really go for that shit -- but a little bit will DEFINITELY send shockwaves to your pussy -- and you will cum a lot harder -- I can't dispute that.
At least I do.
Fuck!
This wind is SHIT.
I can't hear a damn thing.
I hope everybody at the intersection is paying attention and sees the white fucking cane -- and the short, blind girl waving it around.
I should get a dog.
They ALWAYS see the fucking dog.
.. but.. then they want to pet him.
Yes. Him.
I don't need another bitch to deal with.
I'm enough bitch for this relationship.
Ha!
I still can't hear anything -- and my nose doesn't help in this crap either.
At least it's not raining.
Drivers don't pay attention to SHIT in the rain.
My little brother joined the Air Force.
At boot-camp, they made them wear these high-visibility belt/vest things everywhere.
.. probably because they're half-asleep all the time and wander into traffic..
Anyway, mom bought me one to wear when it rains.
I may have ACCIDENTALLY left that at Cal's.
I'm not wearing that.
Enough people stare at me now -- I don't need a fucking neon "HELPLESS PERSON HERE" sign hanging around my neck.
I love my mother dearly -- and she's probably right about the whole thing -- but I'm not wearing the vest.
I should probably call her.
Last she knew I was still with Cal.
She talked to him on the phone once or twice.
I never *got around* to taking him home to meet her and dad.
Whenever we talked, she never asked about him -- she just asked how I was doing every time -- which.. means.. she didn't really like him.. or trust him.
I should've read a little more into that, I guess.
Raised curb.. the intersection.
Whack the stop-sign with the cane.. Yup, I'm where I should be.
I don't hear any vehicles -- but then I don't know how I would today anyway.
Here goes nothing.. 14 steps and then see if I can whack something -- or somebody..
A touch on my left shoulder.
Somebody's next to me.
A wrist -- then an arm -- hooks through my armpit and steadies my steps.
It's my Physics professor.
She wears a little too much perfume -- but, then, most people do.
"Thanks. I'm good on location and direction but I can't hear traffic today because of the wind."
"You're good. I just noticed you were moving a little slower. I hope I didn't freak you out."
"Not too much. I probably jumped a little. Normally I'd hear you coming.."
"There's only two cars here, at the moment, and they seem to be waiting -- although the sports car driver is looking impatient. Oh, look, it's Gerald. Do us both a favor and hit him with your cane the next time you get a chance, will you? Ready for a step up here.."
"Thanks -- and I just might. He whispers so much during your lectures that I had to move.."
"I figured that was why."
See removes her arm.
"I'm parked off to the left here.. I'll see.. er.. uh.. catch you later."
"I'll see you later.. and thanks!"
"Not a problem."
I hate needing help. At least she's not all fucking gooey about it.
Three more blocks. I'll be happy to be home.
It DOES feel like home.
Shit-eating little fucker.
He's getting to me.
I really hope he turns out to be a keeper. This shit fucking sucks.
He definitely stalked me long enough before making his move.. but what a dumbass!
I swear that boy only has enough blood in his body to feed one brain at a time -- and it's usually the one in the smaller head.
I mean, shit! I thought he was gonna fucking drown me in the shower last week!
Ass-hat.
Although, he IS getting better at eating pussy.
I just hope I'm not spending all this time training him for somebody else.
.. should be a street sign on the right.. right about.. Fuck!..
.. shit..
(The cane hits the sign post.)
.. finally!
I'm blaming the fucking wind. It's throwing me off like crazy today. I haven't been that far off since the first few days after I moved to Geoffrey's.
.. now where am I?..
.. Meyers.
Hopefully, there's nobody coming out of the cul-de-sac..
.. curb..
.. sidewalk..
Another block or so..
I should probably just get my own place -- and then have Geoffrey move in with me.
Then, if he fucks up, I can just throw his shit in the street.
Honestly, though, his place is in a pretty good spot for me.
Close to classes. Central to most everything. Getting from the apartment to the parking lot is the worst part.
I'm getting too dependent again..
.. should be just about be..
There's the edge of the walk..
Left here.. six strides.. 6-inch step up.. one stride to the door..
Whew! Done with the fucking wind.
We're definitely getting delivery tonight if he wants take-out.
What the fuck?!
Veronica.
Did she fucking bathe in that shit today?
It's really strong around our door. She either stood here a while -- waiting -- or she jimmied the lock.
.. calling shit-head.
"Hello, my darling, where are you?"
.. just leaving class.
"You haven't been here since we left this morning, have you?"
.. didn't think so.
"Do you know of ANYTHING in our apartment that Officer Donaldson would be bothered by -- if I called and invited him over real quick?"
.. me neither.
"Well, because Veronica's perfume is so strong around our door that she either stood here for a REALLY long time -- trying to break in -- or she DID break in. I'm not going inside until somebody goes with me."
.. she skipped Architecture class today?
Why does everybody skip that class?
"Alright. I'm calling him. Hopefully he's working. If he is, he'll probably beat you here. See you in a bit."
.. every. single. time.
"Yeah. Laugh it up, fuzzball."
.. he's not even a dad.
.. yet.
"Hello. Is this John Donaldson?.. the really nice police officer who refuses to let me borrow his night-stick?"
.. ha!
"Hey. Are you working? I think somebody may have tried to get into our apartment and I don't want to touch anything until somebody looks at it.."
.. 10 minutes. That's probably better than I'd actually hoped for.
"Thank you. Hey! Her perfume is killing me so I'll be just outside -- but the wind is bad and I can't hear much so holler at me when you get here, will ya?"
.. yup.
"Yeah. He's on his way too. You will probably beat him here though."
.. thank goodness!
"I will. Thanks."
I head back outside.
Man! Veronica must be on the rag or something.. That shit's like thick as fuck!
I hate waiting but she just might be dumb enough to still be in there.
If not, Donaldson may need more than my olfactory observations.
~~~~~
I feel strong fingers grip my shoulders. Jessica!
I throw my arms around her for a quick hug.
Arm-in-arm, we follow John through the building entrance.
"Shit!" John says. "I don't even have to be deaf to be able to smell that!"
"Hilarious! You know I could probably still kick your ass with one hand tied behind my back, right?"
Jessica groans at the two of us.
John is laughing until he gets to the door.
I hear his cellphone come out of his pocket, two clicks of the camera, and the sound of him unsnapping the strap on his service revolver.
Shit.
"Sophie? Can you hand me the key for this door?"
I somehow didn't have my keys out anymore. It takes me a couple seconds.
I hold up the correct key.
"Teeth down."
"Thanks." he says. "Jessica. Can I get you and Sophie to move to that corner behind me on my right?"
We move that way.
The neighbors have a welcome mat that likes to catch your toe but she steers me around that to the corner.
The key ratchets into the lock, turns, and he pushes the door open -- taking a big step back.
"This is the City Police Department! If you are in apartment 1A, stay where you are. You have 15 seconds to announce yourself!"
I hear three people breathing -- and the door, to our left, opening halfway -- and then closing again.
Pretty sure they're still watching through the peep-hole.
"5 seconds! Don't make it worse!"
The front door of the building opens. Geoffrey? Whoever it is sees Donaldson and freezes.
"I'm coming in! If you're inside, you need to lie down on the floor. My gun is in my hand and I'm just a little trigger-happy right now!"
He pushes the door all the way open, dodges through and is checking the front room.
He heads down the hall, is gone about three minutes, and then returns.
"Clear."
We all relax.
Donaldson and Geoffrey exchange greetings.
"Sophie, come in here and tell me what you think but her perfume is heavy enough that I'm pretty sure she went straight down the hall, rummaged around in your dressers and closet, maybe looked in the bathroom, and then left."
Her perfume is like bloody footprints under a black-light.
