So it was Valentine's Day again, this year was going to be different for her, but every woman says that to herself every year. It was like a chorus sung every year hoping that someday some man you catch on. As she stood in front of the mirror in her bathroom with the underwear that she would never admit was so old and comfortable she could never throw it away, she brushed her hair to the side as she smiled at the prospect of the day ahead.
She lived for days like this, days where she could pull out her 'girl card' and show him what it was to be loved, show him the very great value of her personal 'cute but psycho'. She did it every date with him, but there were times in life where her 'girl card' delivered to her very special benefits. First order of the day was to execute the 'little black dress' plan on him for lunch. She had dreamed about it last week, and Valentine's Day was the perfect plan to make use of it.
As she showered, there were certain things about their relationship that she truly loved, she loved him of course, but what she truly loved was that this man was that he was versatile. He was like a swiss army knife, sleek, purposeful, she could be the boss and the toy all at the same time in the same night with him, she could float from control to being controlled with just a flick of her wrist or the blink of his eye at her. She could purr like a kitten to him and curl up next to him for an affectionate pet of his attention or she could be like ice scraping against his chest pressing him for what she so needed in life from just him.
She like being comfortable being versatile and skilful for him. That she could spend her time in the mornings skilfully in the shower choreographing what came to her in her dreams about life about things to do for him that would change her life. She loved that they were their own ecosystem that thrived on their joint experience in life, that her being happy depended on not him, but them. She often laughed at the 'happy wife, happy life' phrase but it was so true in life that she could not dismiss any interaction with him. He understood clearly that the dynamic in their relationship was dependent on her femininity and that how she played and thought and reasoned with this man cultivated a garden of Eden for her in ways, fertile ground for her development in life. She definitely did not need him, but she knew very clearly that without each other life's palette was very bland.
As she stepped out of the shower, and dried, she started her opera, to prepare. It was first order of the day, lunch with him to show him that Valentine's Day was one of the most important days he will experience in his life. She did not often get to go to his office, but when she did, she loved it, it was like entering a cave of treasures.
