I came home early today. I quite enjoyed the joy in Priscilla’s face when I did that. Her emotions sprang free with some very easy things, so I tried to do them as often as I could. Analyzing emotions so obvious in someone’s face was a very enlightening experience for me.
She would usually just run to the elevator with Apollo on her feet and jump on my arms. Then she would give me the most delicious kiss. She loved kissing, and every kiss of hers had a different type of beauty. She gave me a lot of small kisses in public which I had despised, but I was also fascinated with the fact that she couldn’t stop herself from kissing me in every environment. And when we were alone, she would give me sweet slow kisses or firey lustful kisses. I enjoyed both of them. Both usually lead us to a part of the house to fuck. Our sex was never the same type as well, but it was always very good.
It was no doubt the best I had.
But for some reason, she didn’t run to the elevator doors when I came. It happened a few more times before. She would either be taking a shower or have earphones on. It never stopped me, though. I would just find her and get my “welcome home” kiss.
As usual today I first checked the rooms on the first floor. Apollo came from upstairs and started circling my legs. I still didn’t enjoy his company a lot. I told Priscilla to take him back when I found bite marks on her arms, but she loved the damn thing and didn’t want to send him back. I was still certain he was very dangerous, but there was nothing I could do.
“Where is Priscilla?” I asked myself not to the dog and then looked at the dog. He was looking at me expectantly. I was not going to play with him, though.
I was not sure how smart the dog was, but I knew Priscilla taught him tricks using some signs I taught her. I signed “P” to the dog, and then he immediately started running back up. Maybe he was smarter than I thought.
I got into the bedroom after Apollo. Priscilla was lying down on the bed, her kindle in hand. Apollo jumped on the bed and put his head on her waist. I got annoyed with the dog again. I wanted to put my head on Priscilla’s waist.
“Hey,” I said to announce my presence. She turned her head, but her hand was still petting the dog’s head. She smiled at me, but it didn’t reach her eyes. It was so unnatural for her. So ugly.
I sat down next to her and the dog on the bed and caressed her arm. “Are you okay?”
Priscilla nodded, but it meant nothing. Then she turned to face me, and Apollo got up to leave us alone. “What did you do today?” she asked with a strange glimmer in her eyes. Maybe she was hoping this question would change the topic from her, and she could avoid talking about whatever was bothering her.
There was no way I was telling her about my work when she was so obviously sad, though. I cupped her cheek and moved my thumb along her lips and chin. “Just work. What did you do?”
That made her disappointed. Probably because she was not successful in distracting me. She just shook her head. “I gave a bath to Apollo.”
My hand didn’t leave her cheek, but I put my head down to the pillow in order to get closer to her. I slowly caressed her soft silky skin. My hand eventually reached her forearm. “Did he bite you?”
“He always does a little.”
When I inspected it, there were really a few faint bite marks on her arms. It was not a good idea to leave her alone with the dog. One day he might really hurt her. I kissed the marks. “I don’t like anyone else biting you but me.”
She giggled at that, and even though her eyes were still not joyful like usual, it warmed my chest just a bit. “That’s too bad because when we have a kid, they might bite my boobs more than you do.”
That could make me smile. I was much more likely to smile now in Priscilla’s presence. She made things easier than I thought I was not even capable of. But this time, I didn’t smile because she still had that disappointed, sad shadow in her eyes. I wanted to snatch it away and fill it with light.
Maybe it was again because of her cycle. She was supposed to have her period two days ago. I never asked about it because she was not super regular. She sometimes got it a few days early or late. She had pregnancy tests stocked up in the bathroom for that reason. My best guess was that she took the test because she was late, and it was negative.
Her happiness was much more important than a non-existent child, but she still got sad over it. I was supposed to bring back the light in her eyes.
I remembered my brother’s words. They were dancing around at the back of my mind for a while. She was much younger than me. She was used to being free and partying. Now she was staying at home all day taking care of a dog and hoping for a baby. There was no way it wouldn’t be depressing for her. I wanted to make her happy. I wanted to give her those things so she wouldn’t feel like she lost parts of her life in New York.
There were already so many things I couldn’t give her that her family back home could. I needed to somehow compensate.
I brushed her bottom lip again. “I was thinking of taking you to Vista tonight.”
“Vista?”
I nodded. “One of the Outfit nightclubs. We never went out together like that. I thought you may enjoy it. I can cook for you, and after that, we can leave. What do you say?”
She didn’t turn back to her bright, sunshine self, but most of the sadness disappeared. This time her smile was real. “I would love that,” she said and kissed my lips.
Her kiss was sweet but knowing I made her happy was even sweeter.
Priscilla’s mood got better with every hour. She was smiling throughout our dinner, and then as she was getting ready, she got even better. I was proud of myself that I found a good way to brighten her mood. It was never such a hard job for me, but it was usually because of Priscilla. She was prone to get happy when I was around.
It felt too weird. No one was ever this happy to be with me or for me.
