It started to rain as I walked back to my place. I went inside my apartment, locked up, and poured me a drink. Nothing like sharkov vodka to warm my spirits. I took a few shots before taking my clothes off and jumping into bed. I lay on my back and looked out the widow, watching the drops of rain drizzle down the glass. It wasn’t too long before I faded out into sweet dreamland. A knight, a princess, and a prince. Who were these fantastical characters played out in my mind? In this dream I am a noble knight escorting a beautiful princess through a turbulent forest. This princess is to be married to the prince I swore my undying allegiance to. I am escorting her from her homeland to the grand castle of my prince. Along the way she tells me a secret. She tells me I’m supposed to be a prince. I don’t understand her. She goes on to say that she wants me to be her prince. I suddenly hear banging in the forest. The banging becomes unbearable as it consumes me. I wake up to the banging. The door…
I forgot! I forgot all about my agreement with Rell. She must be irritated now. I jumped out of the bed to open the door. I realized I was only wearing boxer shorts. I couldn’t have Rell waiting so I quickly let her in. She stumbled into my place, right into the living room.
“It seems you guys had quite an after party…” I teased. She seemed drunker than usual. Drunker than I ever seen her before. I led her to the couch to sit down but she resisted sitting.
“Hey baby. You missed out, as usual… Why do you choose to stay in this dark and dingy apartment when you can enjoy the world with me?”
She slowly took her jacket off and threw it on the floor, revealing a navy blue dress. I didn’t know how to respond to her so I said nothing.
“You always say you want to talk to me but you never really do. This time, I’m gonna make you talk. I’m gonna make you scream.” She walked towards me with a glare in her eyes. I wish she wasn’t so mad. I don’t want her to be mad...
“I’m sorry Rell. You just don’t understand at times it can b-”
She slapped me. I kept my head turned away from her, silent… She started to cry. Why was this happening? Why is she the one crying? I didn’t understand. I broke my silence.
“Rell I just don’t get it. I never meant to hurt you. Why are you unhappy?”
She looked up at me and saw the deep concern in my face. She started laughing.
“I’m drunk baby. Can’t you tell?” As she laughed she put her hands on my cheeks. “Isn’t this enough for you? Shouldn’t you be going crazy now?”
Was she trying to provoke me? That’s not like her. Was she really drunk, or trying to play off her emotions?
“I don’t know what you want from me, rea-” She thrust two fingers in my mouth before I could finish my sentence.
“You like that don’t you baby?” She said with a smirk. All of this made me feel uneasy. “Relax Jake. I’m gonna make you talk to me…”
“No…” I grabbed her hands and held them in my hands. “Rell, tell me what you want. Let’s talk about what’s really going on.” She pulled away from me.
“Listen, I’m just trying to understand you Jake. I want you. You know I want you, but you don’t seem to want me as much.”
That’s complete nonsense. She knows how much I want her. She has to know. Once again I said nothing. I just stood there, looking down at the floor. If it were Ivan I was speaking to, he’d beat my feelings out of me. I’m so glad it’s not him. Rell started to take off her shoes. I feared the worst and thought she was going to hit me with them. She didn’t.
She instead took off her dress, right in front of me. I was getting nervous. I started to back up. She threw the dress on the couch. I turned away from her, trying to avoid staring at the underwear clasping her beautiful body. She walked towards me. I still couldn’t say anything. She got close and held my left hand, placing it on her breast. I pulled back, still holding her hand.
“I can’t. I don’t think yo- no wait, I just… um…” I was losing words faster than I could think.
“It’s alright Jake. Please accept me. I want you this way. Just do it…” I didn’t know what to say. I did accept her so I let myself go. She took me by the hand and led me to my bedroom.
