Playing With Fire & Ice

14

I grumbled softly as I eat the chili that Sean had given me. It was delicious, made me feel so warm inside. It reminded me of the first time he had made me dinner.

"You want to make me dinner?" I say incredulously. "Yes. I do." Sean said but I crossed my arms as my eyes narrowed.

It had been two months since Sean and I had got together. But we were already fighting. His ex Peach's was texting his phone late at night sending him nude pictures. Sean hadn't looked at them or even read the messages but the fact remains. She was comfortable enough to send stuff to him.

"Why don't you make the oh so fabulous Peach's dinner? I'm sure she would love it?" I say rolling my eyes. Peach's was a beautiful melinated woman. She had a soft brown skin tone and though she did wear make up it was always perfect and matching her outfit. But she was manipulative, conniving and a menace.

"C'mon Effie don't be like that. You know you're the only woman for me." Sean said flashing his charming smile. "Yeah sure and your my first." I say sarcastically and Sean glared. "Please will you have dinner with me?" Sean said. "Why is she so comfortable texting you Sean?" I say suspiciously.

"I don't know Effie. I'll block her if that what it takes." Sean said. "Block her first." I say and I watch as he does before turning to me. "Fine I'll have dinner but what time?" I sigh as I smooth out my pants suit I wore.

"7 pm. Can I get my kisses now?" Sean said with a pout as he held my waist. "So childish." I laugh lightly as I peck his lips. "I want a kiss not no peck."  Sean grumbled whole heartedly. Rolling my eyes, I pull him closer as I kiss him opening my mouth so he could dominate the kiss.

"You know its you and I against the world, right Tiger?" Sean said as he pulled away. "Yes and I'm sure you'll remind me every chance you get." I said to him. "You know I will. 7 o'clock Effie. My place." Sean said as he walked me to my car. Opening my door, I got in.

"That boy better be glad I love him." I said to myself before I drove to the address of the last showing I had for today. Parking along the curb I go inside to prep the house making sure its clean and everything is organized.

Hearing a knock on the door, I sigh as I put a smile on my face as I open the door revealing the olderly. "Hello Mr. And Mrs. Blount please come in." I say escorting them inside.

"Okay this is a two story house 1,250 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. As you seen outside it has a wrap around porch like you wanted Mrs. Blount. On this floor there is the kitchen, living room, dining area and a bathroom." I say as we walk into the kitchen.

"Wow its so big." Mrs. Blount said. "Yes it is and perfect for big family meals and hosting events. And from here you can see the dining room. Lets move to the living room." I smile at them.

"That won't be necessary but is the bathroom on this floor wheel chair accessible." Mr. Blount said. "Yes sir. They all are. Would you like to see upstairs then?" I asked. He nodded and they followed me upstairs.

"Okay this is the master bed, it has a walk in closet, with a ensuit bathroom. Two vanity so no pushing to brush your teeth." I smile chuckling before I continue explaining the other rooms.

"We'll take it." Mrs. Blount said and I handed them the papers watching as they go through it before signing. "Nice doing business with you." I say before leaving get in my car. Driving to the office I quickly drop them off before heading to my apartment.

Parking along the curb, I go inside my apartment stripping down taking a quick shower. Drying off I put on deodarant and lotion before I put on a strapless black bra and panties.

Sliding on a soft yellow tube top with light blue jeans and a matching jean jacket with sneakers. Leaving my hair down. I lock up before heading to my car. Driving to Sean's apartment that was across town, I hum along to the radio before I park.

Going to Sean's apartment, I hear soft jazz music playing before I knock on the door. "Just a sec." I hear along with the clank of pots and pans.

Soon Sean opened the door for me dressed in acid wash jeans and a snug white t-shirt that showed off his muscles. "Hey baby. C'mon in." Sean smiled as I walked inside the apartment.

"You look beautiful by the way." He smiled hugging me. "Thanks. Not to bad yourself." I smiled kindly. Walking to the small dinner table I smike genuinely at the lit candles with sunflowers as the center piece.

Pulling out my seat, Sean set a bowl of what looked like chili in front of me before pouring me some wine in a glass. Taking a seat across from me, Sean smiled as I hesitantly ate the chili. I could taste hints of turkey and lamb as well as some vegetables. It was slightly spicy like I like it and it was overall delicious.

That was the best meal I had since I moved to Connecticut for my job.  It was a struggle at first having to not be around anyone I knew. Not being able to talk to anyone. But it was a pure coincedence I met Sean there.

But there were good times left in Connecticut but I couldn't stay there. No one would knoe but after the divorce was finalized I broke down in the bathroom. I might try to act all big and bad but I loved that man with everything I had. I still loved him but I've been hurt by him to many times in the past to many times. From him dumping me right after Senior prom, texting other girls while we went to different colleges, his crazy exs that kept texting his phone and showing up at his house in the middle of the nights all the petty arguments and everything in between.

"Ms. Young, I'm here to give you a bath." A nurse said stepping into the room with a water basin.  I frown because this was embarassing and pathetic I couldn't even give myself a bath much less move.

How pathetic.
