What do you want from me?
“I’ve always wanted to be with you.
-No you haven’t. Can you cut the crap, please? she replied harshly.
-Do you even know what you’re saying?”
His anger was mounting. She saw his flushed cheeks, pinched lips and pained expression collide.
His anger made her frustration even deeper. She was supposed to be the angry one, yet he was spitting lies in her face and expecting a response.
“I know what I’m saying. You had the chance to be with me, for a very long time, and you didn’t even make the tiniest effort to come to me.
-I thought you never expected me to chase you. I told you i’m not one to chase, and you said it was alright, you ‘loved me the way i was’.”
She thought about this for a moment. His pride had seemed appealing at first, she remembered, it had attracted her like a magnet and he had become her ultimate desire. Then, when she needed him, he backed off, never made the first step nor came to talk to her. It’s like if she was always leaning in, and he’d never lean back.
She decided to tell him exactly how she felt, and flush her distressing emotions for the moment.
“What the hell do you want me to tell you? I was tired of running to you always, and having you jerk me around. One day you talk to me, the next you don’t, it’s like if I was a toy to you.”
He didn’t answer. He kept driving, his eyes focused in front of him, his right hand tightly wrapped around the dark leather shift.
She rested her left arm on the back of his neck and caressed the smooth skin there with her fingers. She sighed loudly. His frustration eased, his muscles relaxed a little. He stopped the car on the side of the road, far from any street lamps. They sat there, in the darkness. Finally, he turned to her. She didn’t see him clearly, but she knew his eyes rested upon her. He leaned in close to her face, their eyelashes batted. He kissed her softly, then dug his face in her neck. She held the back of his neck and continued stroking his skin.
“What do you want from me, she whispered in the dark.”
Then, she wasn’t sure, but she thought she heard his deep voice mumble
-I want you.”
