"Chelsea, you're the most boring woman I have ever met."
His voice is soft. If he hadn't called my name, I might have thought he was talking about someone else.
I look up at him, and my eyes are full of tears.
I can't see his face clearly, which makes me braver.
"Yes, so congratulations. This boring woman is leaving." I give a bitter smile.
He caresses my cheek. I want to dodge but he stops me. I'm really annoyed. 'Didn't he say
I was boring? Why is he touching my face now?'
"Harrison, I'm tired. I don't want to play this boring, time-wasting game."
"What do you want?"
"I want to get married and have a child..." Before I finish my words, he gagged me.
He touches me and turns me on.
Before he penetrates me, I heard him whisper in my ear, "I can give you anything except marriage."
And then follows the intense sex. I'm like a piece of driftwood in the sea, and he is all I have.
When everything returns to calm, I close my eyes gently as if I were asleep. His hand is on my back, patting me from time to time, as if he were coaxing a child.
I've never been more at peace. I won't be afraid of losing him because I never got him.
After an unknown period of time, he slowly gets up from beside me. I can feel that he's still looking at me. After making sure he's gone, I open my eyes.
I stare at the chandelier on the ceiling. It's white without any decoration. It's very much Harrison's style.
As I look at the ceiling, I fall asleep. When I open my eyes, it is dark. I get up and go to the living room in a daze.
"You're awake?" he asks.
He doesn't seem embarrassed at all, as if nothing had happened. I bite my lip, and then reply with a smile, "I can't believe I'd been asleep this long. I should take off."
"No. Come with me to a place later."
He makes me confused. I thought he no longer wanted to have anything to do with me. Wasn't he using sex to shut me up just to
keep me out of his life?
I look at him and ask, "To do what?"
"To attend my friend's party. I need a date and you seem to be the only woman around me." After that, he smiles.
"All right."
I agreed without hesitation.
