Tonight
Time is never time at
all. That’s what he said to me. I don’t even know what he meant, he just
sauntered of the way he does when he says something questionable. Fuck.
He had another gig for us. “Just one more” He pleaded.
Pathetic brown eyes digging at my heart as he lay on my chest. I exhaled,
exhaled my frustration into his face. He knew I hated the work, the business,
the industry. ‘You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth’ I
shuddered as the thought crawled through my entirety. This is what I do, have
done, what I know. Our lives are forever
changed. Rewind.
The asshole, my asshole had this “brilliant” idea. I loved
the way he bubbled over when he was excited or inspired. He explained, he
wanted us to perform. Exhibit. We’d always been like this. We say adventurous.
Others, well, others think we might be a little crazy. Maybe.
“It’s just, I have this friend, and I owe him a favour”
Okay… Internally cringing, externally blank, whilst I
listened.
“Go on..”
“He owns this club downtown. Down downtown”
This was bad. I watched as his face contradicted his
cheerful tone. My mind was mulling through all his possible friends, maybe
friend was a euphemism…
“So what is this ‘club’” I braced myself.
“Tisafetishcluby’know”
I choked on my beer trying to decipher his gibberish. He
looked at me expectantly. A brief silence as I swallowed the idea down with my
warm beer. I stared at the rim. Gah! Rim. I’ll never look at a rim the
same. Nothing. Nothing will be the same.
We will never be the same. My mind
has already jumped to these conclusions. I haven’t even agreed yet, well not at
least to him. Quite clearly I was having lash fantasies of being bound and
gagged for the world to enjoy. Well at least I assume that’s what he means by performing
at a fetish club…
Over time I found that with performing the more you change the less you feel. I didn’t anticipate that, I
figured that, if anything I would feel everything so much more. Our
relationship intensified tenfold. Apparently not.
I look forward to see what The Mad Hatter rapist does. I don't know what that says about me. But it seems like you have a lot of bravery doing this to the characters. But I think you see the obscurity of all these characters just like the author did.
ReplyDeleteSounds fantastic!
Sorry I've completely changed my idea, but I appreciate the feedback :)
