I open my eyes. I haven't been asleep, just... outside of myself. I am relaxed. Refreshed. My mind clear. My hands rest on my stomach, fingers interlaced. Like a loved-one at a viewing. I laugh to myself at the thought. It is ridiculous, of course. I am laying in bed, not a coffin. And I am not dressed in my finest suit, I am naked.
Turning my head on the pillow, I see her beside me. She is naked as well, making no move to cover herself. Her body is on display, just the way I like it. I rise from the bed, standing beside her.
"I'm sorry darling, it's time for me to go." Her eyes look blankly back at me. "Oh, don't be that way," I smile. "We had fun, didn't we?" I lean down to kiss her cold forehead gently. My fingers run along her cheek as I admire the new necklace I gave her. The crimson droplets staining the sheets below her.
As I dress I begin singing softly:
Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-lÃ
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-lÃ
I sit across from you, holding my tea in both hands. I haven't been listening to you for the last five minutes. You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything. I search my memory, trying to remember your name. But I've lost focus again. Though I don't allow it to show on the outside, I'm tense. I can't relax. In the end, it doesn't matter. My charm will be enough.
"Let's go back to your place," I interrupt. It isn't a request.
You nod eagerly, not at all put off by my bluntness.
I put my coat over your shoulders, humming to myself as we step into the cool evening air.
