Chapter 5

"Yes, I should... but I won't."

"But... but why?" she asked puzzled. "I don't understand."

"Because at the beginning I fouled it up... I was too pushy and that's why you do not take me seriously."

"It seems as I would not take you seriously?" she smiled.

"Clarisse, you're just confused now."

"So you think the only thing why I wanted you to kiss me, because you saved me from my husband?"

"You said that..." he remarked softly.

"That's...," she was disappointed. "It seems you really know nothing about me. I've thought..."

"Clarisse..."

"No." She protested, "Just leave me alone..."

"I didn't mean it..."

"Are you still here?... Fine, then I'll go," and with that she disappeared in her private room and shut the door behind her. Joseph just closed his eyes for a few moments and took a deep breath, he did it again. It seemed all of his experience was not enough for Clarisse, for the only woman he ever really wanted.

"Clarisse... please come out." tried Joseph, standing at her door now. "You're misunderstanding me... I... I just do not want to screw it up. Do you understand that?" He leaned against the door, "All in my life I was doing the same with women. Same spiel, same tactic, but with you I continually foul it up... because I so desperately not want to ruin it. I just... all the way I was just kind of hoping that you would, you know... fall in love with me." That was the moment when he heard some noise and the door slowly opened.

"I think I'm already beyond that..." Her smile was so sweet. "And I'm sure we cannot ruin it Joseph... We simply cannot..." she whispered as he leant closer and finally kissed her lovingly. Feeling her soft lips and her intoxicating scent simply overwhelmed him, letting him to get lost in another world for a while. As they slowly broke the kiss, he started placing small butterfly kisses on her neck, one after the other, tasting her lovingly. She could not help herself just enjoyed it so much while he could hear the little sounds of pleasure. It was like a dream... a dream they had to wake up from, because they heard noises from the living room.

"Clarisse?... Where are you?"
