Cause You are Mine

Promises to Keep Promises

"Arrggh" "I don't understand these women. How can she be so stupid? The guy loves her surely how can she not see it?"

Sal and I were still watching movies. We finished an action movie and tried horror which I began to writhe in dread after ten minutes so we switched to a romance. But this one was getting on my nerves because the girl was a dumb and not even pretty.

Sal laughed at my comment. "Don't believe in those stories gorgeous. Most men are incapable of love trust me. They only think with their second heads." I looked at him in confusion.

"Don't look at me like that you perfectly know what I mean. Groins yes?"

"What about them?" I challenged hiding my smile and continued to play the naive girl.

"You know when we.. I mean men see a piece of flesh, like you know all the blood goes to the groin. yes?" Oh my god that was hilarious to witness a giant man struggling to explain the sexual structure and the functioning of men. So I encouraged him to go on. I was so bored I needed some fun.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Hmm.. When - when the down.." He put his hand up like he was surrendering and contemplated for his next words. "Let me tell you this with an example." He inhaled.

"You see let's think for a minute that the body of a man is a country. There's north and south."

"West and east?" I interrupted giggling inside my head.

"Yeah yeah east and west but they are irrelevant right now." he shook off. "Let's say that north rules this country or he thinks so but the south the manipulative betraying bastard always holds the strings in his hands. Anyway, whenever a trade comes in to negotiation with another country here I refer to female body, south pulls in the strings and deprives the north quickly from taking any decisions in cases especially if the negotiator is very appealing. And then south bargains on the conditions. North loses his ability to function. And gorgeous" he sighed "the heart is located in the north" He grinned satisfied with his funny story explaining the men's anatomy.

"So you call your penis bastard?" I asked blinking my eyes couple of times to add effect for my theatrical approach.

"Is that what you get from all that legendary story I told you?" Oh my god I hit his nerves and couldn't hold my laughter any more so I burst out.

I was laughing so loudly to an irritated Sal that I didn't hear the door opening and see Damien entering the living room. When I wiped my tears I looked up to see a furious glare from him, his fists clenched by his sides, fuming man. I immediately stopped and straightened myself on the couch where I was slightly leaned out to Sal.

"What are you doing here Sal?" he asked without removing his eyes from me.

"As usual I am here to entertain our little princess." Sal shrugged and stood up to leave the room.

Damien trotted to where I sat and stoop over me still looking angry.

"W- hy a-re you m- mad?" I whisper stuttered.
He raised his hand and I flinched. He ran his hand through his hair and slide back to his side and I flinched again with his movement. He put his hands on the head of the couch at each side of my head and I flinched again not even able to look at him but still feeling his gaze on me. He slowly put his hand on my face and wiped a teardrop that I was unaware that I shed.

"Are you scared of me dollface?" he said calmly

"N-No?" I couldn't control my voice shaking and stop stuttering. The proximity of his body over me was not helping the situation either.
