After a long day of classes and trying to explain to a student why she got a less than stellar grade, I was looking forward to a date with my television, a pot of hot tea, and a long shower. As I turned the key in my door, I was contemplating the merits of rooibos versus chai and was distracted wondering how quickly I get water to boil in the kettle.
I had barely kicked off my shoes in the entryway (being the good Asian girl I am, I never wear shoes in my house) before I heard your voice.
"I've been waiting. And now you're going to be punished for making me wait."
Before I could react, you grabbed my hair and painfully twisted it, forcing me to my knees. That was when I realised you had sprinkled uncooked rice on the hardwood floors, making me kneel on the small, hard grains. I gritted my teeth in pain, but not before a moan escaped. My mind went in a thousand directions at once. I knew you had the keys to my home, but you so rarely used them that I rarely expected visits from you. Had I known you were going to show up, I wouldn't have spent so much time with an argumentative student. And what kind of punishment had your sadistic mind cooked up, having sat there for who knows how long?
I sat there kneeling at your bare feet, trying to ignore the pain on my knees, and immediately started to undress, knowing better than to stay clothed in your presence for any longer than necessary. Before I could finish undressing myself, though, you ripped the rest of my clothes off my body. I knew at that point this wasn't going to be a good evening. I kissed and licked your bare feet, trying to show how sorry I was for inconveniencing you. You sarcastically laughed, guessing my intentions. "You stupid gook whore. If you think that's enough to get you out of trouble, you're dumber than I thought. But go ahead. Keep licking my feet like the dumbass dog that you are. And speaking of dogs..."
