Owning A Man

Pain In the ass

He's been such a pain in the ass lately. Messing up the chores, talking back to me. It seems as if he's in some sort of mood that is causing him to act like an absolute jerk.

I'm at my wits end. However i can't punish him, my hands are full from work . I'm exhausted.

We've been having bussiness meetings left and right every since we sold that deal in Brooklyn. I've been writing non stop, and my back is hurting from how much time I've spent in the office these
Past few weeks.

And then i come back to a useless ungrateful slave.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

We were standing in the kitchen. i was two days into a free week from work, and he was cooking for me.

I could sense a tiny bit of tension in the air between us. And it looked like he was trying to hide something by putting on a bratty demeanor.

He turned the heat down on the stove a little bit and turned to face me. With a low voice he muttered.

"There's nothing wrong with me .."

I crossed my arms.

"Then what's this behavior. If you want to be punished that bad i won't hesitate to do so" i said.

He nodded his head. In silence. Then he turned around to focus on the cooking.

I went in front of him and turned off the stove. Then i put my hand on his shoulder and whispered into his ear.

"I could come up with a really painful way to punish you, i can be creative"

That's seemed to scare him.
He looked me in the eyes.

"My mom is sick ..." This time he wasn't muttering, his voice was loud and clear.

"I have to move states. It's a tumor in her head, I'll have to stay there until she dies. Which will happen eventually. I'm so sorry"

He looked sad. Beat down. Like something had fell down upon him.
He looked at me, only for a while.

Then he turned around and turned the stove on. He waited for it to heat up.

"I'll drive you to the airport" i said.

After than it was quiet. A dreadful silence. I didn't know what to say. I've never been good at comforting people.

Last time i comforted someone they were left even more sad than what they were.

I left the kitchen.
