They went in and registered for seating and then went to the bar. Johann was upset that they did not carry Asbach and not only that but the bartender had no idea what it was, however they did have some absinthe and Rissy tried it as well and found she loved it, she rarely drank alcoholic beverages. After a few drinks their table was ready. Johann assisted Rissy since she was a little tipsy. Their meal was wonderful and the owner came by to make sure all was well which made the meal that much better. After the meal, they decided that they did not want to go to their homes but did want more time together. After a brief discussion they checked into one of the hotels on Bay Street but instead of talking as they planned, they fell asleep.
Johann was awakened by Rissy sitting on top of him screaming and beating him. “How could you do that to me when I loved you so much? You son of a bitch! You know I would have given in freely to you! I would have given anything to have been with you.” Tears were streaming down her face and Johann kept trying to block the blows and then her eyes began to glow as she flashed them at him burning him. The tirade continued with such force that Johann was unable to stop her. She rose above the bed, her red hair floating about. Her eyes were still burning bright as she continued to burn him. “And what makes it so bad is that I still love you as much now if not even more. I hate you and I love you, but Johann, you hurt me and my baby! You killed my baby and yet I’m not that upset about that part. What is worse is that I, Rissy, the one who really loves you was hurt by your hands!” Lamps were flying and crashing into the walls. The chairs were burning as well as the bed. The windows blew open with a force and glass shattered everywhere and was raining down into the streets below. Johann was unable to move. Her power was more enhanced than he thought. The phone rang and it went out the window. “You can pay for this you bastard!” The tears were still streaming down her face. “Dammit Johann, why have you never fought back? Never once with all of my coming to you and screaming at you have you ever, except.....except.....once. Oh my God! Just once!” She plummeted right on top of him. “Just once and you hurt me so horribly. Was I that wicked?”
Johann could finally move and he wrapped his arms around her as she continued to sob against him. “I swear Rissy with all that I am; you did nothing to deserve that. Listen to me Rissy and I mean it you didn’t do anything to deserve that.” He was weeping as his heart was screaming at him as to what a vile thing he was. He held her for so long that his arms ached. She finally quit crying and looked into his eyes. “Johann, I’m sorry.”
“There is absolutely nothing for you to be sorry about.”
She looked at him. “Why have you always forgiven everything that I have ever done? I guess that’s why I forgave you so long ago. There had to be something wrong with you, something terribly wrong and it was that bitch Rina who did it.”
He sat up almost knocking her off the bed. “What and how do you know about her?” She knew she had made a mistake and she also knew that there was no way she could lie to him. “Charlotte told me.” She said sheepishly. He should have known and somehow was not angry at her. That was a long time ago my love. “I want to kill her Johann and yet she has already faced death.” “I know my love. I know but it was painful if that helps.”
“Not much Johann.” She leaned into him sobbing. “The worst part of all of this is yesterday before the man grabbed me I was telling myself that I was a whore and didn’t know if I’d fight back if someone attacked me, but we know what happened.”
Soon there was a knock at the door and the hotel manager with the police came in and looked at the mess and the two still entangled. Rissy looked at them and smiled. “I like it a little wild.” She said. After it was verified that Johann would and could pay for the damages, they were thrown out and asked never to return. Johann asked if Rissy could be allowed to clothe herself before they left and they both were allowed to do so. Once outside Rissy giggled. “I never knew I was a porn star.” They both laughed.
They decided to walk to Johann’s house. It was a long walk and they talked about a good many things especially the art in the buildings and how it was a shame that people didn’t seem to care about that type of thing now and how they would help to preserve as many as possible. They stopped at a park and sat on a bench just looking at everything around them. Rissy discussed how she liked to hear the birds singing and watching to see baby birds. She took Johann to a McDonalds, something he had never experienced before. She laughed as he threw it away saying it had the taste and texture of cardboard. However he was fond of the fries, so she went and purchased a large order, stealing one here and there as they ate.
Finally they reached the house and everyone came out to meet them, kissing them and saying how worried they were. Charlotte said, “Well I wasn’t worried when I heard how a certain hotel room exploded and about a rising porn star and her arrogant producer.” She was holding a small CD player and turned it on and the volume up. Rissy was already flushed and Johann laughing but they both fell into each other’s arms laughing so hard when the song that came bursting forth was “House of The Rising Sun”. Charlotte smiled her wicked smile. “How many did you end up using Rissy? I heard that there was a shower of condoms raining from the bedroom window.” Rissy looked at Charlotte stone faced. “Why Charlotte, I decided to give them to the masses and go bareback. After all what do I have to fear unless you’ve been sleeping with him?” Everyone laughed except Charlotte. “Touché Rissy.” Rissy winked at her and walked right into the house. She then turned around. “Well Johann you may have gotten your fill, but I haven’t, so come on before my eyes wander.” To say Johann was stunned by her words and behavior is an understatement, but he found himself going to her, kissing Charlotte’s cheek on the way. Rissy took his hand and again spoke to Charlotte. “By the way Charlotte it wasn’t him that exploded. It’s his turn now.” She ran up the stairs with him laughing. Svelta and Randolf looked at Charlotte and asked her what that was about. Charlotte stammered “Will you two just leave me alone?” Randolf and Svelta shot back. “Well maybe you should be a little more careful what you say, dear.”
Rissy could sense where his room was and pulled him in. “Now where is that bath you promised me?” He showed her to the luxurious bathroom where a large tub was sunk into the floor. Johann was finding her a towel and bath cloth when there was a knock at the door. Rissy was already undressed but could not stop herself from opening the door with a wave of her hand.
There stood Charlotte with clean towels at the door. “Why thank you Charlotte. If there were more room, I’d ask you to join us, but it’s a tight fit as it is, and if you don’t believe me, ask Johann.” Charlotte threw the towels down and huffed out with a muttered “Bitch”. “Charlotte what a foul mouth you have.” Rissy giggled. Johann started to speak, but Rissy stopped him. “Let her think what she wants. You and I know what really happened and I sort of like being scandalous.” Johann went into the bedroom and closed the door to the bath, but as soon as he did, Rissy made it fly open. “Stay in here with me Johann, please. I want you here. So we can talk more, besides dear you have seen me naked so many times lately I feel more comfortable with you without clothes than with them.” He went back in and sat beside the tub and they talked. It finally dawned on her that it may be him that was uncomfortable. “Johann, I’m sorry, but I didn’t even think about how difficult this may be for you. I want to please you my love, but I just can’t right now.” He smiled at her. “I know Rissy.” He walked out and she felt bad. She wondered if this had an impact on what happened so long ago and then for him to know that another man warmed her bed and enjoyed her pleasures, must have been driven him to the brink and she might have enticed him because she wanted to be with him just as much. This was a new revelation for her. She thought. “I might have raped me too. He must really love me not to take advantage of me and be willing to wait until I am ready.”
When she exited the bath, dressed, and went into the main bedroom, Johann was gone. She went downstairs looking for him and Svelta told her that he was out in the garden. Rissy looked through the French doors and saw him sitting there with something in his hands. She went to see him and sat beside him. “What are you reading?” “It’s just an old book that I have, Rissy.” He said and turned and smiled at her. “Feeling a little more refreshed?”
“Yes I am thank
