50 Shades of My Imagination

From Film to Filth

Bye Elise! I say to my co-worker as I lock up the office and head to my car. How the hell is it already nine-thirty? I look down at my watch as I step into the car. I shake my head as I let out a deep breath, taking a seat in my silver Honda accord. I turn my car on and instantly open spotify to find a song to get my mind off my stressful day.

As I'm driving I receive a call from Brennen. Hey Brennen. I say. Hey baby. He replies. How was your day? I let out a deep breath. Honestly it was exhausting and very pressuring today. Well I guess I'm gonna have to relieve some of your stress tonight then huh? I can feel his smirk through the call. I laugh slightly. I mean, I'm not gonna complain about that. I smile. So why'd you call? I ask. Oh I was just wondering when you were gonna be home? I've been missing you all day.

Why don't you check out the window. I say as I drive up the driveway and park the car. He peaks his head out of the curtains and I smile at him. I get out of the car, grab my bag and phone, and walk up towards the front door. As I approach the door, he opens it for me. Hi baby. He says as he gently cups his hands on my face and gives me a sweet kiss. Hi Brennen. I kiss him back with a smile. So... he sighs. Not the best day today huh? I shake my head. No, but it's okay, that's the risk with this job, right? I've had worse days. He gives me a hug before guiding me inside.

He takes my jacket off for me before wrapping his arms around my stomach and he kisses my neck. I turn around and wrap my arms around his neck as I look into his eyes. I sniff a little, as I begin to sense an aroma coming from the kitchen. What's that smell? I ask. Guess. He smiles at me. Um... I gasp. Wait are you making your peanut butter brownies?! I say excitedly. Maybe. He smiles back at me. That sounds perfect right now baby. I don't care that it's ten o'clock. We laugh. I thought you deserved your favourite treat after a long day. They'll be ready in ten. He says. Perfect. I give him another kiss before breaking up to head to our room to get out of my work clothes.

I look in the closet and grab my favourite white sweatpants and a cropped long-sleeve before putting my hair up in a messy bun. After a long day, I'm all about comfort. I walk to the kitchen and grab a glass to fill it with water. As I reach for the glass, I can feel Brennen's eyes on me. What are you looking at? I ask him. Skylar, you know how hot you look in those sweatpants. He licks his lips. It doesn't matter what I wear, I could look like a slob or a whore and you'd still be all over me. I reply. What can I say? You have an effect on me. He walks towards me and grabs my hips. I roll my eyes.

Why don't you focus on those brownies before they burn huh? I playfully hit his chest while smiling. He sighs. Yeah Okay. He turns his attention towards the oven before he takes the brownies out. Mmm, I can't wait. I say. I can make some mean brownies. He says with an emphasis on the word 'mean.' Hell yeah you do.

Do you want to watch a movie? I ask as I head to the couch to sit down with my glass of water. Yeah, what're you up to watching? Brennen asks as he plops onto the couch and rests his arm against the back of the couch behind my head. And please don't say roman-. Romance. I cut him off. I smile big to try and convince him to say yes. He hesitates before accepting. Okay yeah I guess we can watch a romance movie. Yes! Thank you babe. I kiss his cheek in excitement. I love romance, particularly romance dramas, but he thinks they're cheesy or just badly produced.

I nuzzle up beside him and put my head on his chest as I scroll through Netflix to find a movie that I haven't already seen. What about this one babe? I click on a movie that was just recently added. This looks good. I look at him for confirmation. Yeah sure, doesn't look too bad. He admits. Okay. I press play. Do you think the brownies are cooled off enough yet? I ask him. Hmm yeah I took them out like ten minutes ago, they should be good now. Okay! I get up and cut us a couple squares. Do you want anything to drink? I ask. I'll have a sprite please baby. Brennen responds. I smile.
