AmusantTranscription
00:00I was Christian Ashford's lapdog.
00:02He dated me because his first love rejected him.
00:05Everyone knew I was his practice run.
00:07From our first kiss to the night he took my virginity,
00:10he showed no tenderness, no limits.
00:12Dude, don't tell me you're falling for the maid's daughter.
00:15His best friend warned him.
00:17Would you fall in love with your sex doll?
00:20People laughed at me, but I kept playing my part,
00:23licking his boots until the week before college.
00:26That was when Christian's mother handed me my final payment.
00:29I love a girl who values money over her own pride.
00:32You've done your job. Now get lost.
00:37I took the cash and faked my death.
00:40That night, breaking news tore through New York City.
00:43Christian Ashford committed suicide out of grief.
00:50The tabloids claimed he killed himself out of grief when he heard I died.
00:54For a brief, pathetic second, I thought he loved me.
00:57My only friend back home shattered that delusion.
01:01She sent me leaked text messages from his inner circle.
01:04Christian's suicide attempt had nothing to do with me.
01:07Mrs. Ashford was forcing Daisy into an arranged marriage.
01:11Christian slit his wrists to threaten Mrs. Ashford and save Daisy.
01:15I was such an idiot.
01:17But it didn't matter.
01:18Mrs. Ashford paid me off with millions.
01:20I took that money, moved to Europe, and built a new life.
01:24Five years later, my firm transferred me back to New York.
01:28I ran into Christian at my first gala.
01:30I should have run.
01:32But my boss pushed me toward him to pitch our firm.
01:35I naively thought that even if he recognized me,
01:37he wouldn't care that the lapdog he discarded was still alive.
01:41Christian, hi, I...
01:43I started, reaching out.
01:46He coldly averted his eyes.
01:48My hand hung in the air like a pathetic joke.
01:50A guy from my marketing team stepped in to save me.
01:56Daisy, let's grab a drink.
01:57Sure.
01:58I let him lead me away.
02:00I was oblivious to the psychotic glare burning into my back.
02:04By the end of the night, I was buzzed.
02:06A co-worker helped me into the back of a black SUV.
02:09The heavy door slammed shut.
02:14A thick, muscular arm wrapped around my waist
02:17and yanked me backward into the shadows.
02:20He held me so tight I could barely breathe.
02:23I thrashed against him.
02:25A familiar, gravelly voice whispered into my ear.
02:31If I lock you up forever, you can never run away again.
02:35Right?
02:36He murmured against my skin.
02:38Baby, I should have broken you so badly back then
02:41that you didn't even have the strength to crawl away.
02:43A terrifying chill shot down my spine.
02:46A barrage of ignored memories flooded my brain.
02:49Christian Ashford was New York's ultimate prize.
02:52He was drop-dead gorgeous,
02:54insanely wealthy,
02:55and the heir to the Ashford Empire.
02:58Owning him meant owning half of Manhattan.
03:00Every supermodel, heiress, and socialite
03:03threw themselves at him.
03:05He rejected them all,
03:06except me.
03:07He picked me because he was bored.
03:10Rich people love playing with things they consider inferior.
03:13Our first kiss was humiliating.
03:17The second his lips left mine,
03:19he threw up.
03:20I admit,
03:21I didn't have much self-respect.
03:23But I wasn't made of stone.
03:25Later that night,
03:26I saw a post on his Finsta.
03:28It read,
03:28felt like eating trash.
03:30My eyes burned.
03:31The tears were right there.
03:33Then my phone buzzed.
03:35My Chase app lit up.
03:36Deposit alert.
03:37$500,000 posted to your checking account.
03:40I swallowed my tears.
03:42That was my hazard pay for playing his lapdog.
03:45Mrs. Ashford hired me to be a human shield 10 years ago.
03:49Keep gold diggers away from her son.
03:52I beat out dozens of girls for the job.
03:54She told me during the interview,
03:56You're ugly,
03:57and you're obsessed with money.
03:58Exactly what I need.
04:00Not a single word of that was flattering.
04:03Keep an eye on him.
04:04I'll pay you $100,000 a month.
04:07If you do a good job,
04:08I will bump it to $500,000.
04:10Now that was flattering.
04:12I loved every syllable.
04:14I was only eight years old then.
04:15A broke little country bumpkin
04:17who had just arrived in the city.
04:19Christian loved Daisy.
04:20Like in every story,
04:22the first love always leaves.
04:24He chased her to JFK to confess.
04:27I was there because Mrs. Ashford
04:28wanted me to keep an eye on him.
04:30I don't know what Daisy said,
04:32but his face went dark.
04:33On the drive back,
04:34he turned his perfect face toward me.
04:36Daisy, do you really like me that much?
04:38It was a reflex.
04:40I leaned in.
04:41I put on my most desperate, adoring face.
04:44I love you.
04:45He looked at me like a god
04:46staring down at a bug.
04:48His voice was calm.
04:50Then let me play with you.
04:51I looked at him with pure admiration.
04:53Does this mean I get to be your girlfriend?
04:56His long fingers brushed against my ear.
04:59He smiled.
05:01You're such an idiot.
05:02So gullible.
05:03Imagine how ugly our kids would be.
05:05We were riding in his convertible.
05:07The wind whipped his dark curls around his face.
05:10He looked like a living work of art.
05:13I wrapped my arms around his neck like ivy.
05:17I don't care.
05:18I still love you.
05:20Even if you date someone else,
05:23I'll love you.
05:24If our kids are ugly,
05:26we just won't have any.
05:27I only want you.
05:29I stared into his eyes,
05:31imagining him as a walking ATM.
05:33I started crying.
05:35He had probably never met someone with so little dignity.
05:38He laughed, glancing at me like I was a pathetic joke.
05:42Stop crying.
05:44You can be my girlfriend.
05:45I cried even harder.
05:47To him, they were tears of joy.
05:49He scoffed.
05:51Don't die of happiness, little idiot.
05:53I couldn't help it.
05:54My tears were real.
05:55Because Mrs. Ashford had wired $10 million into my account.
05:59For years, I acted like a rabid guard dog.
06:02I stood in front of Christian and chased away every girl who tried to get close.
06:06The good ones, the bad ones, the crazy ones.
06:09I blocked them all.
06:11I made a lot of enemies.
06:13When the news broke that Christian and I were officially dating,
06:16a squad of gorgeous, elite socialites cornered me at a party.
06:20You don't actually think he likes you, right?
06:23Do you have zero self-awareness?
06:26I nodded eagerly.
06:27Yep, zero.
06:29Christian sat on a velvet sofa behind me.
06:31He let out a dry laugh.
06:33Daisy, come here.
06:34If I were a dog, this was exactly what it looked like.
06:37My master called and I came sprinting over.
06:40I climbed onto his lap.
06:41The proximity made me bold.
06:43I wrapped my arms around his waist and glared at the girls.
06:48He's mine.
06:49The room burst into laughter.
06:51The girls tried to slide closer to flirt with him.
06:55Christian let me cling to him.
06:57He leaned back, resting his arms on the sofa and raised an eyebrow.
07:03Unless you want to get bitten by my dog, I suggest you back up.
07:10Christian didn't need company.
07:12He needed peace.
07:13The girls backed off.
07:15They retreated to the other side of the room, glaring at me with hatred.
07:19Everyone wants to win the lottery.
07:21Rich people buy hundreds of tickets.
07:24Insiders try to rig the system.
07:25Then a homeless guy finds two bucks on the street and hits the jackpot.
07:31That was me.
07:32They hated me for it.
07:34Once the crowd cleared, Christian patted my head.
07:37Good girl.
07:39Do I get a reward?
07:40That miserable, disgusted look flashed across his face again.
07:44He leaned closer and stopped an inch from my lips.
07:47Next time.
07:48He shoved me off his lap and walked out to street race with his boys.
07:54Daisy was off in Europe studying classical music.
07:57People loved bringing her up to put me in my place.
08:01Do you even know how many keys are on a piano?
08:03A girl commented on one of my posts.
08:05I replied instantly, no, Christian and I just use his grand piano as a bed.
08:10Once we ruin it, he buys a new one.
08:13The comment section went silent.
08:14I could only be that reckless when Christian wasn't around.
08:17In reality, he gagged when he kissed me.
08:20But who cares?
08:21I won that round.
08:22By midnight, my victory was short-lived.
08:25Someone sent me a screenshot.
08:27Daisy appeared to have gone public.
08:28A minute later, someone sent me a video from the club.
08:31Christian has never been this drunk.
08:33Daisy's post really messed him up.
08:35In the video, Christian clung to a bottle of McAllen.
08:38He was crying.
08:39Daisy.
08:41Daisy.
08:42He looked devastatingly beautiful when he cried.
08:44Honestly, if he were naked, it would have been hotter.
08:47Before I could finish that thought, a glass bottle smashed against my head.
08:51Crack.
08:51Blood poured down my forehead, stinging my eyes.
08:54Mom stormed into my bedroom and slammed the door.
08:57Have you made a decision yet?
08:59I shook my head.
09:00She stepped forward and slapped me.
09:02My head whipped to the side.
09:03I tasted blood.
09:05I ran my tongue over my back teeth and forced a smile.
09:08Mom, are there no other men in the world?
09:11A 68-year-old geezer or a 24-year-old with anger issues?
09:15Both options were garbage.
09:16She crossed her arms.
09:18I gave birth to you.
09:19Raised you for what?
09:20They're offering me a lot of money.
09:23What's so bad about marrying him?
09:25A chill spread through my chest.
09:27I forced myself to keep smiling.
09:30What I scam, Christian.
09:32What if I get you 600 grand from him?
09:34How about that?
09:35She looked me up and down with disgust.
09:38Do you think he's blind?
09:40Why would a billionaire heir ever eat trash like you?
09:43I have a plan.
09:45Just give me one month.
09:46In one month, I would get my final payout from Mrs. Ashford.
09:51Then, absolute freedom.
09:53Mom had no idea I was on Mrs. Ashford's payroll.
09:56She thought I was making minimum wage cleaning the estate just like her.
10:00Every month, I put on an Oscar-worthy crying performance.
10:03I let her think she was stealing my whole paycheck.
10:07We'll see what you can do.
10:08I have your passport and your social security card.
10:11You can't run away.
10:12She turned and left.
10:14I dragged myself off the floor and stumbled to the mirror.
10:17Tears mixed with the blood dripping down my face.
10:20I looked hideous.
10:21Damn it.
10:22As soon as I get that money, I am getting a makeover.
10:25And the first person to tell me I am pretty gets an $800 tip.
10:31Christian left the country.
10:32The rumor mill said he flew to Europe to get Daisy back.
10:35Then the rumors said they were officially back together.
10:38The girls who hated me made sure to DM me the updates.
10:41Daisy, you're an absolute joke, one text read.
10:45I fired back with a row of smug emojis.
10:47I don't care.
10:48I love him.
10:49It's normal for guys to have other girls around.
10:52As long as he still comes back to me, her reply was instant.
10:55You're a pathetic, brainwashed doormat.
10:58My Chase app pinged.
11:00A $5 million transfer had cleared.
11:03That afternoon, Mrs. Ashford summoned me to the estate for lunch.
11:07She was a terrifying woman who always looked at people like dirt.
11:11But today she gave me a compliment.
11:14You're not quite as ugly as you used to be, and you're even greedier.
11:18With that kind of willpower, you'll thrive anywhere.
11:21I beamed at her, my eyes crinkling.
11:25Thank you for the opportunity, Mrs. Ashford.
11:27She took a slow sip of her red wine.
11:32Your new identity documents will be ready shortly.
11:36The final $15 million is on this card.
11:40I'll text you the pin once you are gone.
11:42I jumped out of my chair and bowed to her over and over.
11:45Mrs. Ashford, you're my savior.
11:48I smiled so hard my cheeks ached.
11:50A fleeting look of pity and deep amusement flashed across her eyes.
11:55$30 million.
11:57That was the price to buy my entire existence.
12:01We both thought we were getting a bargain.
12:03Mrs. Ashford trusted me completely.
12:05She knew Christian would never fall in love with me.
12:08And more importantly, she knew I loved money more than I loved Christian.
12:13I was practical.
12:14I knew exactly what I was doing.
12:17By mid-July, Christian returned from Europe.
12:20He was glowing.
12:21He looked genuinely happy for the first time in years.
12:24I knew what that meant.
12:27He had finally won back Dacey.
12:29Soon, I would be living my own life.
12:32Over the years, I had done insane things for that paycheck.
12:35I got into fistfights for Christian.
12:38I took a knife for him.
12:39I even got kidnapped by his rival's goons.
12:42When he crashed his dirt bike during a mudslide,
12:44I dug him out of the rubble with my bare hands.
12:47I fractured my leg and tore off three fingernails.
12:50That incident made me famous.
12:52After that, the New York elite knew one truth.
12:55Christian Ashford had a psychotically devoted lapdog.
12:59Everyone knew I was madly in love with him.
13:01They knew I would attack anyone who tried to steal him.
13:04I put my life on the line to kiss Christian's ass.
13:07But they didn't know I did it for $30 million.
13:11To me, being dead was less scary than being broke.
13:14No one ever questioned my love for him, especially not Christian.
13:19Christian was heading to the villa on the Hamptons' hillside.
13:22At dinner, he casually needled me.
13:24Pack your bags, Daisy.
13:26You're coming with me to the Hamptons.
13:28The dining room went silent.
13:29Mrs. Ashford paused.
13:31Her silver steak knife hovered in the air.
13:33Since when do you tolerate being in the same room as her, Christian?
13:38Christian told me to drop dead at least nine times a day.
13:41He called me repulsive.
13:43He treated me like a disease.
13:45So this invite shifted the atmosphere.
13:48Mrs. Ashford was suspicious.
13:50I bowed my head.
13:51Mrs. Ashford, I only take orders from you.
13:54Christian's jaw clenched.
13:56He slammed his fist on the table.
13:58Who owns your leash, Daisy?
13:59He glared at Mrs. Ashford.
14:01Fine. If the dog stays here, bring Daisy back.
14:05That was when I realized the truth.
14:07Mrs. Ashford had orchestrated Daisy's move to Europe.
14:10Christian was her prized possession.
14:12Love made him human.
14:14And in the Ashford Empire, love was a liability.
14:17She wanted a puppet, not a son with a weakness.
14:21I had seen Christian masturbate while looking at Daisy's photo before.
14:25He was frantic, lost in a hurricane of obsession and pain.
14:29He loved her.
14:31If you think you can control me forever, you're wrong!
14:35Christian had violent episodes.
14:37The PR machine called it mania.
14:40When he did not get his way, he destroyed everything.
14:43He flipped the dying people.
14:45Crystal shattered.
14:47Christian, you're having another episode.
14:50Mom, you're sick too!
14:52His eyes were bloodshot.
14:53Veins popped in his neck.
14:55Even while losing his mind, he looked like a dark, fallen angel.
14:59Call Dr. Ross, Mrs. Ashford commanded.
15:03Within minutes, the doctor jammed a sedative into Christian's arm.
15:07Security dragged him upstairs.
15:09By evening, I was sent up with his dinner tray.
15:11The staff looked at me like I was walking into a monster's cage.
15:15I pushed the door open.
15:17The bedroom was trashed.
15:19Christian, lock it.
15:22I locked the door and walked over.
15:24Christian sprawled across his bed.
15:26His Adam's apple bobbed.
15:28And that other place.
15:29The tension below his waist was obvious.
15:33Help me out.
15:34I don't know how.
15:35Do it exactly like you saw me do it last time.
15:40Or I'll bite you.
15:42Christian had a biting kink.
15:43He loved leaving teeth marks on my arms, my shoulders, my collarbones.
15:49If my mom wasn't keeping every girl a girl away from me, I wouldn't need you.
15:52He scoffed.
15:54I'm a girl.
15:56Please.
15:57Your furniture.
16:00Hurry up.
16:02Or do you want me to bite you?
16:03I crawled onto the bed and reached down.
16:06He let out a sharp breath.
16:08His body shuddered.
16:10He grabbed a fistful of his silk sheets and shoved them into his mouth.
16:16Dixie.
16:18Do you want me to grab her picture?
16:20Good idea.
16:21I started to pull away.
16:23His arm shot out.
16:24He hooked it around my waist and yanked me back against him.
16:28Never mind.
16:29Too much effort.
16:30I'll use my imagination.
16:32I kept going.
16:33He panted, his breathing erratic.
16:36I glanced up, expecting his eyes to be shut, picturing Dixie.
16:40They weren't.
16:41His head was tilted.
16:43His dark eyes tracked my every move.
16:46Dixie.
16:47His grip on the sheets tightened.
16:49He looked unhinged, a beautiful, wicked demon luring me into hell.
16:55You want to suck a lollipop?
16:57Christian lay back against the pillows.
16:59His dark, amber eyes were hazy with lust, pulling me in like a rip current.
17:04I nodded like a puppet.
17:07Yes.
17:07His voice was a low, lazy rasp.
17:11I'll give it to you in a minute.
17:13A heavy knock shattered the tension.
17:16It was Dr. Ross.
17:18Christian grabbed a glass off the nightstand and hurled it at the oak door.
17:22It shattered.
17:24Get the fuck out!
17:25Dr. Ross was there with the syringes.
17:28Christian had been building a tolerance to the sedatives, so the doses kept getting higher.
17:33His forearms were covered in dark purple needle marks.
17:37Ever since he got back from Europe, he had been fighting a war against Mrs. Ashford over Dixie.
17:43Every time he lost his temper, they drugged him.
17:46He was a billionaire puppet fighting against his strings.
17:50Dr. Ross sighed through the wood.
17:52I'll come back later, Christian.
17:54But if you can't control yourself...
17:56His voice faded down the hallway.
17:58Christian smirked.
17:59His psychotic rage from a second ago completely gone.
18:03His voice dropped to a husky murmur.
18:05Give me your arm.
18:08I held it out.
18:09He bit down on the soft flesh of my forearm.
18:12Sharp, stinging pain mixed with a weird tickle.
18:16My hand tightened around him.
18:18Christian gasped.
18:20His hips arched off the mattress.
18:22A deep, helpless groan tore from his throat.
18:25The room felt suffocatingly hot.
18:27His lips pressed hard against my skin, muffling his breathless whispers.
18:33Good girl.
18:34Baby.
18:35Right then, my phone buzzed.
18:38Christian, I need to go.
18:39A friend wants to hang out.
18:41His wet eyelashes fluttered up.
18:43The hazy lust in his eyes vanished, replaced by a pitch black glare.
18:49Friend?
18:49He loosely wrapped his hand around my wrist.
18:52His thumb rubbed my pulse.
18:56Since when do you have friends?
18:57He's an old guy friend from my hometown.
19:00He goes to NYU now.
19:02I'll just get out of your hair.
19:03I figured he hated me anyway.
19:05He would be thrilled to have the room to himself.
19:08He stared at me, his eyes glowing with dark venom.
19:12I leaned in, putting on my best, desperate lapdog smile.
19:17Christian, do you want me to stay?
19:19He turned his head away and scoffed.
19:22Don't flatter yourself.
19:24You're delusional.
19:26Okay then.
19:27I turned around and started to climb off the mattress.
19:30His hand clamped around my ankle.
19:33He dragged me backward across the silk sheets.
19:36His low voice slithered into my ear.
19:38Don't forget whose dog you are, Daisy.
19:43He held up his bruised arms.
19:45My arms are wrecked.
19:47Otherwise, I wouldn't even let you touch me.
19:50You're not running off to see your little boyfriend until I'm finished.
19:53I rolled my eyes.
19:55I sat back up and quietly went back to work.
19:58Time dragged on.
20:00My arm was cramping.
20:02I scrunched up my face and whined.
20:05How much longer?
20:06Christian swallowed hard.
20:08He forced out a breathless sneer.
20:11How the hell should I know?
20:12I can't finish.
20:13Maybe you just suck at this.
20:15Try harder.
20:16But as I looked down, the reality hit me.
20:21His fists were gripping the sheets so hard the fabric was tearing.
20:26Sweat slicked his forehead.
20:28Blood welled where his teeth dug into his bottom lip.
20:31It was pure agony.
20:34Since he wanted me gone, he would never drag this out on purpose.
20:37I stared at him in shock.
20:40I stared at him in shock.
20:41Oh my god.
20:42Was he... broken?
20:44I didn't dare voice it.
20:49By the time I finished, the sun was setting.
20:51I grabbed a wet wipe and cleaned my hands.
20:54When I looked up, Christian was staring at me with a cold expression.
20:58Is this reunion going to take a long time?
21:02I don't know.
21:04I might crash at his place tonight.
21:07Christian leaned back against the headboard.
21:10Right.
21:11Make sure you get dinner first.
21:13Then see a movie.
21:15Hit the mall.
21:16Maybe buy him some flowers.
21:17I nodded, surprised.
21:20How did you know?
21:21I was going to buy him a bouquet to celebrate his move.
21:25Christian's lips curled into a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
21:29It's getting late.
21:30I'll have my driver drop you two off.
21:33Oh, no.
21:33That's okay.
21:34We'll just take an Uber.
21:36His smile widened.
21:37It was unsettling.
21:38I highly recommend taking him to Hudson Yards.
21:44Sure.
21:45I'll make sure we spend money there to support your business.
21:48Christian's jaw ticked.
21:50His eyes narrowed.
21:52Yeah.
21:53Plus, it's close to a hospital.
21:55Very convenient for the ER.
21:58I blinked.
21:59What?
22:00Oh, nothing.
22:01Life is unpredictable.
22:02One second you're walking down the street.
22:05The next second a speeding car comes out of nowhere.
22:08And boom.
22:09He threw his hands up, mimicking an explosion.
22:12Oh, and make sure you tell your little friend to sleep with one eye open tonight.
22:17I stared at him.
22:19Was he threatening to murder my friend?
22:22Ever since his father died, Christian's mental state had been unstable.
22:27Right.
22:27Well, I'm leaving now, Christian.
22:29I waved.
22:30I sprinted down the grand staircase.
22:33The Ashford summer estate was massive.
22:35I had to walk down a mile-long driveway to reach the main road to call an Uber.
22:41Mike!
22:43Mike was my best friend before I moved to New York.
22:45We kept in touch.
22:47He had just gotten accepted into NYU and came into the city a few weeks early.
22:51We grabbed coffees and walked toward Hudson Yards.
22:54Mike stopped dead.
22:56What's wrong?
22:57He frowned, looking over his shoulder.
23:01I feel like someone's following us.
23:04Following us?
23:05In Manhattan?
23:06You're paranoid.
23:07He scratched his head.
23:09Yeah, probably.
23:10I went hunting with my dad back home, and I had the exact same instinct when we crossed paths with
23:15a wolf.
23:16We kept walking until we reached a flower stand.
23:18Mike picked up a bouquet of red roses.
23:21Do these look good?
23:22I nodded.
23:23They're beautiful.
23:24Mike rubbed his neck, scanning the street.
23:27He shivered.
23:31I swear it just got freezing cold.
23:33Why do I feel like I'm about to get murdered?
23:36He shook his head and paid for the roses.
23:41Anyway, Lucy is meeting me here.
23:42Help me make sure I look okay.
23:44I fixed his collar and waited with him.
23:46He offered to buy me sunflowers, for friendship, but I turned him down.
23:50The Ashford Gardens were already overflowing with them.
23:54Ten minutes later, Lucy showed up.
23:56They hugged.
23:57I took that as my cue to leave.
23:59By the time I pulled into the Ashford driveway, the mansion was lit up.
24:03Security guards sprinted across the lawn.
24:06I slipped through the back kitchen door and grabbed the head housekeeper.
24:10What happened?
24:12Christian was locked in his room, but something triggered him.
24:16He jumped out of his second-story window.
24:19He landed in Mrs. Ashford's rose bushes.
24:22His legs are shredded by thorns.
24:25When security dragged him back inside, he was limping.
24:29His eyes were red and swollen like he had been crying.
24:34I crept up the back staircase.
24:37Before I reached the landing, I heard a sharp slap echo down the hallway.
24:41Mrs. Ashford and Christian were at war again.
24:45Christian stood there, his handsome face turning cold.
24:49If you ever use Daisy to spy on me again, I swear to God I'll kill her.
24:53Mrs. Ashford kept her elegant composure.
24:56Of course you can, sweetheart.
24:58But tell me, Christian, in all our little games, when have you ever won?
25:04Christian's face went dead.
25:06He didn't say another word.
25:08Mrs. Ashford gave him a condescending look and turned.
25:11I shrank back behind a large vase.
25:14I was about to sneak back downstairs when a freezing voice slithered over my shoulder.
25:21Finally done with your little date, Daisy?
25:24He dragged me into his bedroom.
25:26Lock the door.
25:27I ran over, flipped the deadbolt, and ran back.
25:31He had a mini-fridge hidden in the corner.
25:33It was the only victory he ever won against Mrs. Ashford,
25:36getting the security cameras removed from his suite last year.
25:40He shoved the tub of ice cream into my hands.
25:42My eyes lit up.
25:44It was loaded with his favorite mix-ins.
25:46Freeze-dried strawberries, dark chocolate chunks, and crunchy caramel bits,
25:51which were also my favorites.
25:53Christian, you're so good to me.
25:55I bet you don't share this with anyone else.
25:56I love you so much.
25:58I chanted, slipping back into my lapdog persona.
26:02He turned the lights off.
26:04Factory rejects.
26:05You're so easily bought.
26:07You would follow a stranger into a van for a candy bar.
26:09I shook my head, digging a spoon into the pint.
26:12No way.
26:13I only love you.
26:15I only eat the food you give me.
26:19You idiot.
26:20I pulled a packet of Pop Rocks out of my pocket
26:23and sprinkled them over the ice cream.
26:28What's that?
26:29It's a new way to eat it.
26:30Want some?
26:33Let me try.
26:34Tilt your head back.
26:35He sat on the thick Persian rug,
26:37leaning his head back and parting his lips.
26:40Open wider.
26:41I grabbed his jaw and dumped the Pop Rocks into his mouth.
26:46Done.
26:48He closed his mouth.
26:49Outside, the wind rustled through the trellis of wild roses below his window.
26:56Why does it feel like fireworks are going off in my mouth?
27:00That's the point.
27:01They pop on your tongue.
27:03I looked down, digging for the dark chocolate chunks.
27:06Christian didn't say anything.
27:08I felt his heavy gaze locked onto me in the dark.
27:11A minute passed.
27:13Do they pop inside your brain, too?
27:15Go.
27:15Go.
27:16Go.
27:16Goengeance.
27:16Go.
