Chrissy knew she was in serious trouble, but she was so mad she didn't care. She was wet, muddy, and pissed off. Her day went from great to horrible in what seemed liked only minutes.
Chrissy woke up about an hour later than she had planned, but it didn't bother her so much, because it felt great to sleep in. After slipping on one of her Master's t-shirts over petite frame she went downstairs to fix herself some breakfast. On the table she found a note from him asking her to please pick up the dry cleaning and then if she got all of her chores done she could skip making dinner and just order out whatever she felt like. She smiled to herself thinking that was sweet of him to let her have a small break in her daily chores.
Still smiling she sat down at the table with her toast and juice and looked through the ads in the paper. Her favorite clothing store was having a huge sale and she wondered if she would have time to go shopping. She looked around and saw some dishes in the sink, and knew there was a pile of laundry that needed to be transferred from the washer to the dryer. She knew she should do all of her chores first, but was too anxious to get out of the house and have some personal time to shop and do what she wanted. She figured she would have plenty of time to come home and finish before Marc came home.
Chrissy rushed upstairs to shower and get dressed. She settled on a flowy pale yellow skirt, and a white low cut top that complimented her firm bust. Throwing her long brown hair up in a clip and slipping on her sandals, she tossed her wet towel and pj's on the bed and bolted out the door.
Needless to say Chrissy was feeling even better. She had a great time shopping and was now singling along to the music in her car. She had found a wonderful outfit, with a great pair of shoes to match and some stunning jewelry all for a fantastic price; and she had plenty of time to spare. She was so excited she had to show her friend Molly. She called her making sure she was home and then made the thirty minute drive out to her friend's country home.
Thinking back, this was where she realized she should have cashed in her chips and taken her winnings. She hadn't noticed how long she and Molly were talking until she looked out the window and saw that it was getting darker. She said her good byes and sped down the road to hurry home.
She hadn't even gone 5 miles when she saw the red flashing lights in her mirror. "Dammit" she thought to herself, "there are never cops out here." Marc was going to kill her, she was late and to top it off she just received a 150 dollar speeding ticket. "Stupid cop," she thought to herself, "he must be gay; show off my cleavage for nothing." She waited until the sheriff drove off and started her car again to pull out.
She swore when all she heard was the spinning of a tire that was stuck in the mud. Chrissy got out of the car to dig herself out wondering the whole time how she was going to explain herself to Marc. Digging through the mud she became even more upset. Her manicured nails were ruined, her outfit filthy, and her pale smooth skin looked like it hadn't been washed in ages. Having no towel on her she climbed back into the car mud all over the seats and steering wheel. Just another thing for Marc to punish me for she thought gloomily. Thank God, nothing else happened to her on her way home, however she almost whished something had. She pulled up next to her Master's car and groaned, dreading to go inside.
With her bags in one hand and keys in the other she opened the front door as quietly as she could hoping he would be in his office and she could sneak upstairs to tidy up real fast. He wasn't. Chrissy was met with a look that made her want to turn right back around and run. His blue eyes were as bright and blue as she had ever seen him. They always seemed to get brighter when he was mad. He didn't even give her a chance to completely lock the door behind her. Grabbing her arm he yelled "Where the hell have you been? I have been worried sick! Then I call Molly to see if she has heard from you, and she told me that you left her house not even an hour ago! I come home to a messy house, you are not here, no note, no phone call, and then I find out you were at a friend's house showing her the new clothes you just bought. It's obvious I have been too lax in things and you think you can just do whatever you please whenever you want. Well that is going to change. You are in so much trouble!"
Maybe it was her nerves being tested all night long, or the fact that he was yelling at her and she was already at her wits end, but she lost it. She stared right back into those eyes with her own bright blue eyes, yanked her arm free from his powerful grip and yelled back at him.
"I am tired, dirty, and wet and cold! The least you could do is stop being so damn brutish and let me go get cleaned up. I will get the rest of the house cleaned when I am good and ready, and if you would stop being an ass for a moment, you could order dinner while I'm doing everything else!"
There was a moment of silence where both of them were too shocked to speak. His shock, unfortunately, didn't last as long as hers. She could have kicked herself. What in the hell was she thinking? She knew she crossed the line and was really in for it now. She started to sputter out an apology, looking down at the floor and trembling. He shut her up quickly by grabbing a hold of her tangled muddy hair. He wasn't pulling hard, just enough to control her head movements.
"Look at me Chrissy."
She couldn't bring herself to look up at him again; those eyes spoke volumes, as well as the increasingly severe wrinkle that was making his tanned smooth face look incredibly fierce.
