Hearing the new verdict after closing the door and walking into the room, I spared a second to meet Sade's haughty gaze, then walked past her.
I took a shower to freshen up, and after drying off, I sat at the edge of the bed and patiently waited.
There was nothing mysterious about my actions really. Sade had said she wasn't interested, not because it was the truth, but because she had gotten anxious. And in that state, she defaulted to her usual self-defence: a nonchalant, prideful character.
Right now, I was just waiting for her mind to falter, to become filled with doubt, especially in my absence, so she would make a move.
It wasn't that this move would make Sade headless and confused, but if I struck at the right time, she would become headless and confused.
That time came about three minutes later. I immediately stood and made my way to the living room.
