Description:
He jerks away from me. He walks away and starts pacing, from one corner to the other.
"But why do you stay, woman! Why do you stay if he hits you?",he explodes.
Smiling, I pull the covers away from my body, and I start getting up from the bed, walking towards him, in all my naked glory. He stops pacing, and waits. Wait to see what I would do. When I reach his side, I put my hands on his shoulders, lean in close, and plant a light kiss on his lips, pulling away as quickly, after which I proceeded to say.
"I stay with Joseph not despite the fact that he hits me, Ian." , I whisper.
"I stay because he hits me."
