me to say that but I was tired of caring what he thought about me.
“Excuse us for minute Amber,” he said in a firm but calm voice.
My heart started to pound, oh crap! I panicked, why should I be afraid of him? I didn’t do anything wrong.
“No stay Amber,” I called back to her over my shoulder. “We didn’t finish our game. What do you want Dennis?” I asked. Now we’re having a full-blown stare down, eye to eye. He then looked away bringing his gaze back towards Amber.
“I um…just remembered that I um…have some laundry to do. I’ll catch up with you later Angie,” she said quickly as she darted out of the game room. Ugh! Why did everyone have to give him his way all the time? Then I remembered yes they do, myself included for agreeing to stay here.
“Are you purposely trying to make my life miserable?” I asked in an angry tone.
I didn’t wait for his answer . I didn’t want to hear what he had to say, I walked right past him. Just before I walked out of the room I felt his strong hand grab my arm. I froze as my heart started to pound out of my chest. His touch always made me feel weak but this time I had a little willpower. I yanked my arm out of his grasp, like his hand burned me. Truth to be told, it did. His touch alone was enough to set my skin on fire and make me want him but not this time. Hurt flickered in his eyes for a second then anger soon took over and replaced it.
“What the fuck was that?” He shouted at me barely containing his rage.
At first I didn’t get what he was referring to and then it hit me, my academy award winning performance. I don’t understand why he is so angry though? I thought I helped him.
“It’s called improvising and you’re welcome,” I said as I took a few steps back.
“Yeah well , it was a little over the top with the whole, ‘I’m your biggest fan’ shit. That was totally uncalled for. They came here to discuss business. Not to flirt with you,” he added.
I wa s beyond shocked, that’s what this was all about? That’s why he came down here, to fight with me.
“Well for your information, I am a big fan of their music and just in case you weren’t looking, Drew was the one flirting with me. I think the last time I checked; not being able to flirt with hot guys was not part of our little deal. What’s it to you anyway, huh? I think I’m allowed to flirt with whomever I please and I’m pretty sure I don’t need your permission to do so, you don’t own me. I’m not one of your staff members you go to and boss around.” He just stood there glaring at me. “He liked me, didn’t he? Admit it,” I asked smiling at the thought, well at least someone wanted me. “Maybe I should call him when I get out of this prison sentence that I’m in. I’m sure he would love to take me out and show me a good time,” I giggled.
“You will not!” He shouted. He towered over me, my face inches from his chest. I’m surprised I didn’t stagger backwards from the angered sound in his voice. I lifted my chin up bravely, even though my insides were trembling from the angered tone in his voice. Be strong Angie, I thought to myself, be strong.
“Oh no? And by chance who’s going to stop me?” I asked trying to keep the tremble out of my voice. For a moment I thought he was going to say something but he just laugh.
“No one , you’re right. What you do doesn’t concern me, I was merely protecting you. You’re free to do whatever you want, like you said I don’t own you,” he said in a detached tone.
He turned and left the game room. I should be happy, I won the argument but at what cost? In frustration, I pick up a bowling ball and chucked it down the lane in anger. No one said I wanted to go on a date with Drew, or anyone else for that matter. Shit! I didn’t even mean to give him the wrong idea. I just wanted Dennis and I knew in the back of my mind I could never have him. I tried to not to be upset, I’m tired of falling apart
