happen tonight."
I go straight on the defensive. "I am relaxed," I say with a huff and he laughs. Boy can he run hot and cold.
There's a knock on the door. A man brings in a tray of food and sets it up at the table, which is facing out the window to a nice view.
"Come sit Nessa." I get up and take a seat over at the table
"This looks nice."
It's only lasagne and a salad—a very posh version but it looks good. Things are too quiet and what better way to break it than to annoy him. I smile at that thought.
"This all looks very romantic Taylor." He growls. Score one for Nessa!
"Just shut up and eat Nessa. You will need your strength." Jeez that's twice he's said that, what the hell does he have planned? How am I gonna eat now?
"Let's talk a bit," he says a little more calmly.
"What do you want to talk about? I thought this would be pretty straight forward." I'm goading him and I know it, but my mouth has a mind of its own at this stage.
"It is, but can’t we just enjoy a nice meal?"
"Sure thing," I say as I start picking at my food. "So do you bring all your mistresses here?"
"Nessa."
"What? You wanted to talk, I'm making conversation." He takes a deep breath.
"What I do is none of your business." Well that told me, so I change the subject.
"Do you have family?" Something in his eyes changes—it ranges from anger to something softer then I can see the wall going back up.
"That also doesn't concern you." He's not parting with anything.
"So you wanted to talk but you won't talk about anything. What's your deal?"
"I just have rules Nessa. You're not a permanent part of my life so you don't need to know my family or anything about me actually." His voice is so cold. Normal people would just shut up, tonight though my mouth just doesn't have a filter.
"Why are you like that?"
"Like what?" he asks like he hasn't a clue what I'm on about.
"Cold. You're so cold, you hide everything. They're only simple questions I was asking trying to be nice." I was totally being nosey but he doesn't need to know that.
"I hide things because they're no one else's business." Well that's fair.
"So what about this whole mistress thing, why not have a normal relationship?" He looks like his head might explode at this stage, I'm actually feeling a little scared.
"Because I'm no one’s knight in shining armour. This isn't a fairy tale. I don't need a white picket fence and two point five children to be happy. A good fuck is all I need now drop it." He's growling again and I can't drop it just yet, I love winding him up a little too much.
"But you could be. Why not date a girl and see how things go?"
"Why give false hope. I don't do love and couldn't be arsed with a relationship. They only complicate things. I like a good fuck with no emotional feelings."
"Why are you like that?" He looks a little confused again. Poor guy.
"Because I don't want a relationship. Does there has to be a reason?" he questions.
"Yes. Things happen in life to cause us to feel certain ways about things, what happened to you?" He pushes his plate away and stands up and walks over to pour himself another whiskey. When he turns back his eyes are blacker than I've ever seen them.
"What happened to you Nessa? You're so full of this wisdom you must have been through something yourself." Wow that caught me off guard.
"Nothing happened me, I'm just wise like that." I try to joke it off.
"Well nothing happened me. I'm not broken, I just don't want a relationship so fucking drop it already." Oh I have hit a nerve and I know it going by the look on his face I'm better off quitting while I'm ahead.
"Whatever." He sits on the couch, leans back, then looks over to me. "Come here Nessa."
Oh shit. "Why?"
"Stop talking and questioning everything and just get your ass over here."
I get up out of my chair and slowly walk over to where he's sitting on the couch and stand in front of him. He is still leaning back while he looks me up and down.
"The dress is nice
