Chapter 435 Anna's Game:>Ep2

• Time passed in a flash after that weekend at the lake house when Anna had dangled the offer of...well, I'm not exactly sure what, but...More. Summer was a busy time for us both, and we only saw each other twice over the next couple months. The first time, she was friendly and charming, yet she didn't administer even one of her electrifying touches. Anna had never bothered to go out of her way to find ways to make physical contact, preferring to take advantage of opportunities as they presented themselves, so twice I made sure to put myself in her path, only to find she had been drawn off course and into some other conversation. And the next thing I knew, she was giving me a brusque hug goodbye, her hands kept too carefully atop fabric. It was disappointing.
• No. It was infuriating. How could she tease me like that and then withhold herself from me like this?? Or was she still punishing me for "making her jealous"? That wouldn't be fair, but it was a possibility...Or maybe she was having second thoughts; maybe she had decided that anything further would be too much, and we should stay just friends...or maybe she just got her rocks off on the power play and fully intended to leave me high and dry with the female equivalent of blue balls. My husband laughed that night when I voiced my speculations about her game.
• "Babe, chill. She seemed fine to me, it was just a busy day. I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it, and you'll see her again in a few weeks." I rolled my eyes- obviously he didn't have a clue. Regardless, I decided that whatever game Anna thought she was playing, I was going to turn the tables on it.
