Breaking Her Own Rules

18

Just as I planned, Denny stilled before pulling away. "What are you doing, Harvey?" He asked as his eyes narrowed.

It was a small distraction, but enough. Denny got up slightly, enough for his body weight to be released off me.

"Distracting you." I grinned as I went as fast as I could, getting out from under him and scrambling off the bed.

Denny leaned on his side, propping his head on his hand as he watched me, his eyes full of humour.

I waved the controller at him, letting him know I had won, as I walked away from the bed, backwards.

"Whatever." He told me as I did a small victory dance.

"Don't be a wuss. You made me get on not one but two roller coasters today. You could at least watch a horror." I boasted out.

"Yeah." He laughed at me. "But those rides go for about two minutes. A horror movie is what? Two hours? No deal."

I put all my weight on one foot as I watched Denny get comfortable on the sofa bed. "How about an action?"

"Where the hero always wins, nope."

"A war movie?"

"Same war, different point of views. We all know who won anyway."

"Okay." Denny sighed. "A western?"

"Very predictable."

"Drama?" Denny shuddered.

"What is this? Days of our lives?" I laughed at his suggestion.

"True story?"

I thought about it. "Only if the main character gets killed off." I agreed as I came back to the bed.

"You are sick and twisted." Denny chuckled.

"Fine! You pick a movie with an awesome twist in it." I told him, eventually handing the controller over.

Denny took the controller and placed it down next to him.

"What are you doing?" I asked him as Denny just looked at me.

"I don't know how to use that."

"I don't either. So we can both look like a pair of Neanderthal's pointing our fingers at it."

Denny let out a low laugh as I smiled at him. His laugh is a bit contagious. It's rare for. Me to see Denny in an angry mood, seldom for him to be serious. But I do enjoy making him laugh, it makes me laugh and it's been a long time since I openly and genuinely did that.

"It doesn't matter anyway. I don't feel like watching a movie." I shrugged as I relaxed on the bed. "Some one has worn me out completely and I don't think I want to watch a horror. It will only make me fall asleep after I figure out the plot and laugh over it."

Denny shook his head as he looked at me. "You are something." He said quietly.

"I know." I grinned at him as I propped myself up on my elbow. Fuck it. I'm doing it. I've never held up before, why is now any different? "I find myself bending my rules for you. Why is that, Mr Mason?"

Denny let out another chuckle. He is in a good mood tonight.

"What rule is it this time?"

"I've yet to decide." I answered him, my eyes matching my smile. "But when I do..."

"I'll be the first to know?"

I smirked. Yes. There is sexual tension here.

"You aren't a shy girl, Harvey. Hell, you answered the door in a towel. You say what's on your mind, and you don't deal with bullshit."
