Story 2: Submissive Feminist

Chapter 10:

Laysan pointed at my eyes. She pointed at herself and then my lips, finally waving the fingers of her hand away from my mouth.

"You want me to watch you and tell you what I see?" I asked.

She smiled and nodded her head.

She pointed at herself. "You..." I said.

She cupped her hands over her heart and then pointed at me.

"You love me?" She nodded. "I love you, too. Very, very much," I responded.

She cupped her hands over her heart again. "Love...?"

Next she began to use signals that I was familiar with only because I have played charades before long, long ago.

"Small word..." I said watching her fingers. "Love is..."

Laysan shook her head, no.

"Sounds like..." Laysan mimed lifting something off her head. "Small word that sounds like hat.... At! 'Love at...'"

Laysan stood up straight and tall and waved her hand down her lean stomach. "Belly?" I asked. Then she drew and arc away from her body from under her breasts to the bottom of her abdomen and expanded her cheeks like she was holding her breath. "Belly? Full?" She nodded, smiling. "'Love at full...'"

Laysan held a forearm parallel to the floor. She used two fingers to dance along its length. "Walking?" She shook her head and pointed to her temples. "Head? No. You're trying to describe a concept."

She held her arm parallel again, but this time moved her fingers briskly along its length. "Walking and running?... Hmmm... Fast and slow? Ok. Sounds like..."

Laysan made a fist with her right hand and struck it down against her chest right over her heart. I jumped slightly, strangely alarmed. "Sounds like 'stab'?"

From the point where Laysan's imaginary knife had punctured her flesh, she began to trace a slow, meandering line down her torso with the tip of her finger. "Blood? Sounds like 'blood'? No... bleed! Sounds like 'bleed'. Hmmm..." I thought for a second. "Slow and fast. Sounds like 'bleed'... Speed! Yes! 'Love at full speed!'"

I was so excited. Communicating with Laysan was fun! But we really needed to learn sign language if we were going to get anywhere.

"Love at full speed! Oh... there's more? Small word. 'Is'. 'Love at full speed is...'"

Laysan then pressed her palm lightly on my shoulder. "Love at full speed is a shoulder? Love at full speed is a shoulder to lean upon?" Laysan shook her head, no.

She raised her hand high above her head and brought it down on my shoulder with a loud clapping sound. "Owww! That hurt like hell! Fuck!" My shoulder was stinging badly and quickly turned a tomato shade of red. "That's not how you play charades. 'Love at full speed is hurt?'" Laysan coaxed me to continue on that line of thought. "Love at full speed is pain?"

Laysan was jumping up and down, splashing in the pool, smiling and pointing at me as I rubbed my shoulder.

"Love at full speed is pain? Heh heh... Ok. Nice, but... I don't understand why you are telling me this," I admitted.

Laysan stepped up and gave me a firm kiss on the lips, then stepped back, her hand lingering on my left breast over my heart, her fingers pressing firmly against my skin just below my shoulder.

"Mmmm," I responded and opened my eyes. She was looking at me strangely. Perhaps she was cringing as though something unpleasant was about to happen.

I became nervous and confused suddenly and in that second Laysan dug her fingers into my skin. Not just my skin though. She dug them into my chest and I screamed and began to convulse in pain. She pulled her hand down and as she did I heard an odd shattering sound like breaking ceramic. I then felt a coldness whistle into my chest. My heart felt as though it was going to explode. My knees buckled and I began to collapse.

I couldn't scream anymore. I couldn't control my muscles. Laysan had caught me and held me, her face serious and concerned.

The cold blew out towards my extremities which had begun to twitch uncontrollably. My vision dimmed from the pain, so I tried to focus on Laysan's face. Why?

I think I was having a seizure of some sort. It's too much, Laysan. You've made me feel too much! I can't live with feelings. It hurts too bad!

I tried to continue to focus on Laysan but my head rolled back and my eyes stared off into the steam which darkened and closed in all around me until I was gone.
