After dinner, Bruno tossed his new blazer off on the couch and started to clean up. I watched him, patiently, as he washed the dishes he used and wiped down the counter space.
"Y/n?" Bruno asked suddenly, not stopping what he was doing. "Why do you insist on cleaning or cooking or whatever? Do you think I can't do it?"
"No of course not! I'm just... so used to doing it."
That's when he turned around, a confused look on his face. "But I've been here for months now and this is only the third time I've cooked. I cook more back home and Julieta literally heals people with her food. Are you sure there's no other reason?" He leaned in front of me across the counter top.
I put my arms down and looked at the counter, unable to make eye-contact. "My last relationship was long-term, about two years, and he wasn't very... kind. I met him through a program at the school and we got together shortly after. We dated for a couple months before he moved in, and that's when his true colours were shown. He forced me to do all the house work while he sat around on his ass all day. He barely worked, and when he did it was for a couple hours while I was also at work. He used me for sex a lot, only doing it when he wanted to and once he was done, we were both done.
"It wasn't very enjoyable, he didn't say anything to me during it or do anything pleasurable for me. He didn't respect my boundaries during it and forced me to do things I hated." I spilled, glad I could finally have someone to talk to about it. I felt tears form and fall down my face, but he didn't stop me from talking. Bruno just listened and it was refreshing. "Then he found someone younger than me, about a year or two, and she's prettier than I am. So I guess, I started acting the way he wanted me to because I'm so used to it. That was two whole years of my life. And earlier... when we... I was surprised you started with me. That... that never happens. And I'm so used to doing it once, so I'm sorry."
"Don't be!" He yelled. "I've never been with someone before. Everyone kinda hates me where I'm from, so I'm trying to treat you with the most amount of respect because I want to keep you around." He walked over to me and held my hands, looking deeply into my eyes. "And I don't know anyone who can be more attractive than you." He smiled. I felt myself blush once again at his words and pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you, Bruno, truly. I needed to talk about it, he really fucked me up."
"Well, I'll try not to fuck you up... unless you want me to." He said with a wink after pulling away. "I think you should get ready for bed, though, it's getting pretty late and you have to work tomorrow."
I obliged and made my way to the bathroom, changing out of my beautiful dress and taking off my makeup. I changed into pajamas I had in the bathroom and went to my room. "Goodnight, Bruno." I said before entering the room. "I had fun today."
"Aye, goodnight mi querida."
This chapter is almost half of the past few, but there is good news: I've decided to draw a couple more dresses and they might get used later on... I hope that y'all will like them! I'll be using the same figure for them as well btw.
