I was trembling. Inside and out. My body still sweaty, disheveled, with his scent clinging to my skin. But my mind, it wouldn't stop. It was boiling, pulsing, hammering every word spoken, every silence of his, every step he took away from me. And I sat there, on the edge of the bed, naked, with the sheet slipping down my legs, feeling like a complete nobody.
Never in my life have I gone through this. I never had to justify myself to any man. I never had to explain myself, humiliate myself, put myself in the defendant's position when I did nothing wrong. I was always free. Always had my stance, my autonomy, my way of handling things. And even when I was involved with someone, I never had to feel ashamed of anything. But now? Now I was there, feeling like a fool, because I cared.
