“He What?” She bends over, yelling in my face.
Bloody jolly ranchers!
Why can’t I keep my mouth shut? Now I’ll have to tell her the whole embarrassing thing. “Let me get my coffee first. I choked on my first cup at breakfast and haven’t had any yet”. I turn to head to the desk.
“What exactly did you choke on Izzy if Alex had access to your breast last night?” She snickers.
I turn my head and glare at her, “It’s not funny, Anna. He yelled at me at dinner, made me cry, scared the crap out of me after I ran away from him and hid in my bathroom, then he threw me on my bed, bit my boob, and then made me pee my pants.”
I grab the coffee and take three huge gulps in a row; I take a breath and wave the cup in the air.
“We will need another one of these shortly.”
I put the cup back to my lips and drink the rest. Anna is stillstanding there gaping at me, eyes wide, not moving.
“What?” I ask, looking at her.
“What the hell did you Google, man? Golden showers aresoooonot what I told you to research?” She looks away, tapping her finger on her lips, “Unless he’s into that and asked you to pee on him?” She scrunches up her face. “Did he ask you to do that? Cause if he did, that’s kinda fucked up to do to a newbie.”
I shake my head at her. “What are you talking about? He didn’t ask me to pee on him? He was mad because I told him I had to use the washroom and left him sitting in the dining room, I totally ran away. Then, he barged in on my bath, so I ran away from him. He caught me and threw me on my bed. Then he started to kiss me and then he asked me, ‘What’s the punishment for people who lie?’ and then he bit my boob,like hard!I screamed my head off.”
Her face turns a slight shade of pink, then she purses her lips to the side of her mouth.
“Just say it, Anna. I don’t understand what happened last night. It was crazy and scary, and good and then embarrassing.” I cover my hands over my face and sit down in her chair.
“It’s okay, Izzy. Tell me everything since leaving the bar last night and I’ll try to explain it to you.” She’s holding my hand now and I just want to die. The world at large is beyond my comprehension sometimes.
“Can we work while I talk? I want to get the dress done today before he comes to pick me up at five.”
Anna rubs my back and pulls me up. “Okay, rain shower. Let’s get to work and go grab another coffee later.” Taking the empty cup from my hand, she puts it on the desk and leads me to my station.
Once I’m all set up, we work side by side and I tell her everything. She loses it at my zig zag maneuver and I tell her not to laughcause it worked, almost.
She is shocked when I tell her he seduced me into biting my boob and the whole hand thing he did and then peeing my pants. I explain all about my choking on my coffee this morning and then his comment I heard about him getting rid of me after the wedding.
Once I’m done and I look over at her, she hasn’t done a thing. For the last few hours, as she listened to me, she has made no advancement on her side at all. She just looks at me like I’m some crazy person.
The hair on my arms raise at the look on her face. “What? Don’t look at me like that, you’re scaring me. What did I do wrong? What, tell me!”
“Oh, my girl. We need to have a chat about your limited sexual experinace and what last nightreallymeant.”
“What does that mean? I know a few things and last night he hated me enough to hurt me this time. What is going to happen next time, Anna? He’ll rip my nipple clean off?” I’m shouting now because this is serious.
She bursts out laughing so hard she grabs the railing and holds on. She has tears in her eyes and she’s wiping them away. I’m not finding any of this funny. I like my nipples right where they are. Thank you very much.
“Oh, honey. It’s time for coffee. Come on, grab your purse. I’ll tell jumpy pants we are having an early lunch.”
Stunned, I mumble ok and back my way down the ladder. I take off my lab coat and goggles and grab my purse. I met Anna in the hall and we go out the back door through the alley to the little coffee shop for my lesson on sex I guess.

Chapter 17 ~ Isabella
For the next hour, I learned a lot, too much actually.
That his so-called punishment turned him on, that not only that but in order for him to do so, he had to find me attractive on some level. That I found hard to believe, but if Anna is right, he kissed and stroked me all over, even my chubby tummy.
We devised a strategy for the next twenty-four hours. If I can stay as late as possible at work, I’ll run up to my room and hide out and do whatever I can to avoid him in the mornings.
