Chapter 57: Bullying Me

I looked straight at him; my eyes met with a pair of overly-beautiful blue eyes. He’s not just teasing me, right? He really doesn’t know anything, right? Those pale blue eyes stared back innocently at me.

I…hate…him…

After a moment of staring into each other’s eyes, I broke eye contact with him and sighed loudly. This is getting nowhere…

"Malissa honey, if you don’t tell me exactly what you want or need, I can’t help you…" Hayden finally said.

Yeah…and that’s like the hardest thing for me to do right now. I don’t remember how many years it’s been since I’ve had to ask for permission to go to the toilet and telling the whole world that I needed to pee.

I lay down on the bed in resignation as I covered my face with the palms of my hands. I can’t believe this is happening. How much more is he going to embarrass me like this?!

"Hayden…" I said his name softly.

"Yes?" He replied immediately.

"…I…need to go…to the toilet," I mumbled shyly.

"What is it that you need from the toilet?" Hayden asked, as if not hearing me properly.

This man is driving me crazy. He’s really going to make me say it, isn’t he?!

"Hell…I NEED TO PEE!!!" I sat up and screamed loud and clear.

I stared at him in anger, narrowing my eyes at him as I pursed my lips into a thin line. I was so embarrassed, and I felt the heat burn my face as I blushed. However, the anger I felt helped me handle the embarrassment very well.

Hayden’s eyes widened in surprise at my outburst before he started laughing loudly. He laughed so much he might as well have fallen off his chair. I would have preferred if that happened, actually. I stared at him, not finding any of this amusing.

"Sorry…you should have just said so from the very beginning…" Hayden said in between his bouts of laughter.

"Uncuff me…now…" I muttered.

"Ok…ok…" Hayden said as he got up from his seat.

Taking out a key from the pocket of his pants, he unlocked the handcuff from around the bed and I could move my left arm freely once again. The clinking sound of the handcuff brought my attention to the fact that the handcuff was still on me…why?

Suddenly, I heard a clicking sound.

"Here…done," Hayden said with satisfaction as he held up his wrist to show me.

My mouth hung open in shock at the sight of the handcuff around Hayden’s wrist. If this was supposed to be like a couple’s matching bracelet, it was way off.

"Why are we handcuffed together?" I asked in disbelief.

"You said you wanted to go to the toilet," Hayden replied with a grin.

No way…

Tell me this isn’t what I’m thinking…

I sat there on the bed, stunned into silence.

"Let’s go…" Hayden said as he began pulling my left arm.

"I…I can go to the toilet by myself!" I cried out as he yanked me to my feet and off the bed.

"Even I know that…" Hayden muttered.

"Hayden…please…" I pleaded with him to no avail.

Ignoring my protests, Hayden dragged me all the way across his large bedroom to the bathroom. Of all the things, I never imagined this could happen to me. How am I supposed to pee with him standing right next to me?

"Hayden…" I called his name in frustration.

"You needed to toilet, so I’ve brought you to the toilet," Hayden stated as he pointed to the toilet seat.

Frankly, I just didn’t know what to say to him anymore. We stood there staring at each other in the bathroom as I debated my options. I needed to pee, that’s for sure. However, I couldn’t do it with him handcuffed to me. The handcuff kept us very close together…too close.

"I can’t pee with you standing here…" I said bluntly. Shit. I can’t believe I just said that.

"Yes, you can," Hayden said encouragingly.

"No…I can’t" I replied firmly.

"How do you know when you haven’t even tried?" Hayden asked, arching a brow at me.

That’s the thing. I don’t want to try it! I don’t want to do it! This isn’t a challenge that I want to take on.

"Look, Hayden…honestly, I can’t run away from you when we’re literally stuck in the same room together in the penthouse. There’s no need for these handcuffs…" I tried to convince him again.

How can he possibly think that I can get away from him like this? How paranoid is he anyways? I tried running away from him in the open and that failed too.

"Of course, I know that…" Hayden said as if it was obvious to him too.

"Then…" I began saying.

"It’s just part of your punishment, Malissa. Surely, you’re smart enough to realize that by now…" Hayden said, his voice sounding very amused.

"You are so evil!" I screamed at him.

"Yeah…I get that a lot. So…why don’t you show me how you pee now?" Hayden said before a beautiful angelic smile spread across his lips.

"You’re not going to at least turn around or close your eyes?" I asked, still in disbelief.

"No. I’m going to watch you…very closely," Hayden replied with certainty.

I made the wrong decision. If I knew that this was going to happen, I would have chosen to wet the bed, my clothes and all.

In the end, just like he wanted, I ended up sitting down on the toilet seat and peeing with Hayden standing right in front of me, watching. I never imagined that a man can show so much interest in watching a woman pee before…and then, I was reminded that Hayden was probably not a good representative of the standard male population.

"See? I knew you could do it. Next time, you should have more faith and believe in yourself a little more," Hayden said as he congratulated me on my first-time peeing in front of a man.

I wanted to burst into flames, self-combust, and just die. The word embarrassment couldn’t quite fully describe the feeling that I felt. I didn’t know how to face Hayden anymore. If there’s a hole around here, I’ll just conveniently crawl into it and die.

However, I knew that it didn’t matter whether I knew how to face Hayden or not because, like it or not, I would be forced to face him over and over again…until the 30 days came to an end.
