She smirked, that playful smirk, he hated it. It reeked of the arrogance of knowing that she had won that round. She hadn't given in, she was going to leave him there wanting, waiting, till his next chance to prove he was worthy of her. She looked back as she pulled on her coat, "Life isn't about getting what we want, it's about setting up a plan, executing said plan and taking what is rightfully ours when we decide its no longer a want, but a need."
He couldn't help but to look directly at her as the words slid, ever so softly, through her lips. She was just out of arms reach, he could make the move but he knew that's what she wanted. He wouldn't give her the satisfaction.
He remembered when they had first met. How innocent she had seemed, how gullible she was. What had changed her? Made her so cold? Was it life, or had she just gotten smarter? The range of questions filled his mind. Within seconds he regained his composure.
He slowly stood up, helped her with her coat took her hand and escorted her from the restaurant to her vehicle, and opened her door. "What a gentleman", she whispered leaning in closer to him than even she had expected. He knew what was coming and he was prepared. Just as she leaned further he pulled away, and cooed "Wants and needs kitten, wants...and...needs". He turned and rounded a nearby corner leaving her stunned and alone.
He knew what game she intended to play, and he had bested her this time. She had fallen victim in her own trap and he was now in charge. For how long neither of them knew, but he would enjoy it as long as he could.
