Sunday Romance #2: I Hate You

About ten minutes pass as we keep staring at each other. My eyes are willing her to understand my worry for what she’s been doing but all I get from her is disinterest in this whole conversation it seems like and that rubs me the wrong way.
“Honorée...you don’t give a shit about what I’m saying to you?” I say as I cross my arms staring at her.
“Will you please get off my back, Cowen? It’s not a big deal, all right? Ivan wasn’t even there at the club.” Honor says with a sigh and a soft slap on her leg with her palm.
I’m just not understanding how about two weeks ago, she was nearly in tears trying to be here with me and safe from this dude and now she’s just risking her life for money. I rub my chin and in the next second decide that if she’s going to play this game then I could as well.
“If that’s the case then I guess it’s fine for you to head back to your loft right?” Honor’s eyes narrow as I shrug. “You know...since’s it’s not a big deal that a pissed off drug dealer/brothel owner is after you.”
Honor puts her phone on her bed and then gets up to come and face me. I suck in a breath at her beauty. Even when I’m ticked off, she takes the air from my lungs.
“So you’re going to play with me like this huh? With my life? You know I have to save money to take care of my girls, Cowen.” She says, crossing her own arms as her irritated gray eyes meet mine.
“Don’t give me that, Honor. Don’t you put your girls in this cause if something happened to you, that would be a moot point wouldn’t it? What might be a better idea is to get a real job. You’ve heard of those right? Where you wear regular clothes and don’t have guys oogling your tits all day.”
Honor’s head goes back as if she’s been backhanded. I hate that I have to be an asshole but there is only so much a person can take. I’m trying to keep her safe but there’s that saying, “You can’t help somebody who doesn’t want to be helped.”
Honor shakes her head before she gives me the hardest glare I have ever seen from her. “...I can’t stand you. Who are you to tell me what job to do in my fucking life? I’m a grown ass woman and I’ll do what I want, Mr. Steele! Don’t you forget who you are talking to!” Her voice raises in the bedroom, warning me to leave her alone.
I don’t back down “If you can’t stand me so much then why the fuck are you here, Honorée?! If you feel that way, why not just pack you clothes and go? I won’t stop you since you’re grown right? Hell, I’ve done nothing but take care of you here and make sure you are safe, but that’s not enough? It’s not enough to care about you? To love you?”
