Example of IEE (me) rebelling from SLI's care, from real life, this week.
SLI is here (lives out of town) on a longer visit and we are in the homestretch of living "like brother and sister" till we marry in April which is rather very difficult at times, but it is what we are both committed to.
We were being lazy this week which degenerated into a couple of true "Uncle Albert" days ("we're so sorry... but we haven't done a bloody thing all day...") I asked him to remind us to get us going on something tomorrow but warned him, "Be careful, I don't always like being told what to do."
So next day after a lazy morning together hanging out after breakfast he gets busy on something needing done and he reminds me what I was going to start, right when I am content procrastinating. I rouse myself from what I am doing and then instead go start procrastinating on a Sudoko puzzle. After a bit he reminds me again. But I want to take my sweet time and don't want to be reminded, so, I get up and I start flirting with him, hands running all over his shirt, and slipping under it ("Skin! You're so
warm!"), sliding into comfortable melty embraces against him, and he says when I get this way I give him that "look" which he especially likes (I think its a type of inviting look) and I think he likes that look akin to how his touch moves me like magic. So I am completely distracting him from his work with these embrace flirtations that are hard to ignore, which is fun because I can. I guess its to arouse him which is in fact pointless and kind of mean because we can't go anywhere with that. But I know its kind of mean, and he knows I am getting him back for nagging me.
But it amuses him.
So I guess that's childlike teasing and rebellion.
.. Then to tease him further later I will complain that I hardly got
anything done today and its all
his fault for chasing me and ravishing me!
Well we had to get unstuck from our holiday laziness. All that work before Christmas and we relaxed now. We keep Christmas through Epiphany so we just enjoyed the decorated house. We did get unstuck. But another time when he reminded me to get busy I stomped his bare foot (not hard, just dramatically) with mine. But I turned and started the work anyway.
Because I wasn't really mad.
