11 o'clock. The TV in the living room is running silently, while I switch the channels , and tap my foot: damn commercials, my movie is running late, and I know Dan will be checking in on me any minute now. I can already hear his voice, impatiently crossing his arms on his chest , and giving me the look that only he and I know .Oh well...I smirk and snuggle more comfortably on the armchair. This damn tv!
I can hear the shower in the bathroom stop, and I know he will be getting out soon. I take a pillow an grasp it tightly. Finally, the movie comes back. I can't help a giggle , as I watch how Melisa knocks out that big hairy guy, and than winks at him. But than, as she slowly walks back on the big alley , a gorilla assaults her again. Too good: Melisa gets ready, pulls out a rope and says: "so , do you like to play?" I bite my nails in excitement.
- Cara!
It is Dan. He steps in front of the TV menancily.
-Hey! I start , revolted.
It was just getting interesting! But I don't get to say more.
- What did I tell you? He fixes my eyes with his. You should have been in bed no later than 10:30.
I feel myself getting a bit wet. Oh ,no! No, he is not going to treat me like a child. Not this time. I'll show him.
- For your information, Dan, I am a grown woman. I can stay as late as I want.
- You work tomorrow from 7!
- So? That is my problem. I think I am getting tired of your controlling ego, mister.
-Cara...!
You say it calmly , but your tone sounds deep, very promising of what will be expecting me. I feel a shiver passing down my chest, and the pressure between my feet increasing. Regardless, I frown and stand up, decided to head to the TV in my office. I am a top, strong woman. Nobody tells me what to do! I am the boss wherever I go, and no man had confronted me like this before. But Dan is different.
I feel him grabbing my hand to stop me from advancing, and turning me towards him. Now I am forced to face him fully, and his stature is pretty impressing, with that big chest and the shoulders that expand twice my size.
- I think I know what you need.
