Changing a girl's mind
Firstly, thanks to all those who answered my poll. I know the questions were vague, but I loved all the responses I got. Answers to questions etc will be woven into my journal over the next few entries, so remember what you asked, and you'll see your answer.
Now, on to today's topic.
A trip to the cinema last night reminded me of something ruine_ said to me on my first trip to the cinema with her. She said that salt popcorn (which I prefer) was disgusting, and she'd never eat it. I said, in response, that if I wanted to, I would get her to eat it, and even to insist on ordering it in preference to sweet popcorn. I think the response was something like, "no way, fuck off!".
Now, as most D/s aware readers out there will know.. this is not something wise to say to an evil bastard Dom like myself.
So, over the following months I began working on it. I'd steal bits of her sweet popcorn (which she knows I don't like), and tell her (honestly) it was something I wanted to share with her, a romantic gesture.. a small part of her within me, a small taste of her choice within mine. Then, I offered her a taste of mine.. The first time she declined. The second, she accepted. It became a habit to share tastes, until when I stopped offering, she'd steal bits of mine. More each time.
Then, one day, when we were short of time for the movie.. I said I couldn't eat a whole box of popcorn, I'd just have some of hers. I knew there wasn't much time for her to think about this, and hoped.. It worked. She offered to get just salt popcorn, because she knows I prefer that.
But that wasn't enough, she had to insist, to fulfil my prophesy. So, I pushed my luck a little. I picked up the sweet popcorn, and said.. "No. I know you prefer sweet, we're getting that." I started to walk towards the counter, hoping my girl's stubbornness would kick in. And it did. She snatched the popcorn from my hand, put it back, grabbed the salt one, and marched up to the counter, saying "We don't have time to argue. I'm buying this".
It wasn't till we were in the cinema, eating it, that I reminded her that I had said I would get her to insist on eating salt popcorn.
Oh, I do love it when she calls me a bastard :).
Of course, she does still prefer sweet. But still steals some of mine sometimes. As I do with hers.
My tastes have changed too.. In everything we do, my girl changes me as much as I change her.
465 words.. not yet, hmm.
