bellatif's blog post - devil duck

I enjoy taking a shower. Gives me time to think and relax. And this morning I just had one thing one my mind: “Time to get matters in my own hands!”.
Breakfast talk was dominated by boyfriend’s night out with his friends. And although I’m always very interested in the latest gossip, I was distracted with my thoughts.

So between blending a drink and making a toast, I made the decision to go on with my ‘shower plan’. And I guess boyfriend saw I was quieter then usually. Because suddenly he asked me: “What is on your mind? I give you a penny for u thoughts!”.
I just smiled and said I was thinking about the stuff I had to do. And because I did not go into detail, I knew he was SUSPICIOUS. So I gave him that innocent ‘school girl look’.

Like always boyfriend went to get the car after breakfast. Normally I just clean up after his gone, but this time I had other things to do. Important things! I walked to his study, took one of his markers. I went back to the dining room. Looked at the wall that so need to be painted.

I hesitated like for 1 second. But after I had written my personal comment on it, I knew I should have done these 3 weeks ago. While I was rethinking my actions, I knew I had to do one last thing. I ran to the bathroom, took my ‘devil bath duck’, and put it in front of the wall. I got the bath duck a few years ago, because apparently I can be a little devil. And I have no idea why he thinks that of me!

While he was driving me to my work, I was still enjoying the moment. I knew I would hear about it as soon as he would be home. And 30 minutes later, I got his call. He was laughing, telling me I so need to take medication. That he just knew something was going on… And that he so loved the comment I left for him… The crazy duck …

And now he is painting over the comment. And I already miss it in some way. Not the wall, because it really need a new colour. I miss the meaning. But deep down inside me, I know I have put my mark (on him). And that is for life.
