put on a pair of silver earrings before she walked
to the closet to get a jacket. “I think I should get going
now,” she said as she grabbed her purse and keys.
    “I
could drop you over at the office if you want,” Steven
volunteered.
    “No,
I’m good. I’ll drive,” she replied. Steven frowned
when she said that. “What?” she asked, looking at him.
    “I
really don’t like the idea of you driving that…thing,”
he confessed.
    “Did
you just call my car a thing?” she demanded looking at him.
    “Well,
if it was a proper car, maybe it wouldn’t break down every damn
chance it got,” he argued. Julie shrugged and then shook her
head.
    “I
am not having this conversation with you,” she snapped as she
walked out of the bedroom. Steven quickly ran after her and caught
her hand. “Steven, I seriously don’t want to do this
right now,” she said as he walked round her to look into his
eyes. It was too early in the morning to fight. She looked into his
eyes and shrugged. “What do you want?”
    “You
can’t be angry with me for wanting the best for you,” he
said,
    “I’m
not, but that is what I have right now and that is what I have driven
for three years and newsflash, I’m not dead yet. So quit making
a big deal about it,” she sniped angrily. Steven looked into
her eyes and shook his head.
    “Why
are you trying to pick a fight? All I’m saying is that I would
rather you drove something else, that’s all,” he replied
honestly.
    “Fine,
but new cars cost money,” she said. “And no, I won’t
let you buy me a car. You already got me a house,” she added.
    “And
is that such a bad thing?” Steven asked looking at her. She
shrugged.
    “Are
we really going to have this conversation right now?” she
responded.
    “Well,
clearly we have to have it sometime. And now is a good time as any,”
he finished as he took her hand and led her to the living room.
    “Steven,
work…” she started saying before he shook his head.
    “Work
can wait,” he protested as he looked at her. “Are you not
okay with the fact that I got you the house?” he asked. She
shook her head and shrugged.
    “I
was at first, but now it’s like you want to get me everything,”
she said.
    “And
is that so wrong?” he queried.
    “Well,
I do feel a little cheated…owned even,” Julie
complained.
    “You
think I own you? Is that how you feel?” Steven asked. He took
one of her hands in his and looked at her. “Is that how I make
you feel?” he repeated. She shrugged and shook her head.
    “Not
really but it feels like you are on your way there,” she
confessed.
    “Why?”
he asked surprised and confused at the same time.
    “Because
it starts with you buying me stuff and then in the event something
happens, I end up desolate and destitute,” she confided. Steven
raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
    “Why
would you even harbor such thoughts?” he asked. “Why
would you be with me while deep down you are thinking of how we may
break up?”
    “Shit
happens, Steven. Shit always happens and for you not to think that it
might happen to us is…pathetic,” Julie declared as she
looked at him. She pulled her hand away and shrugged. “You
cannot blame me for thinking it. It happened with the men in my life
before you, and it can happen again,” she said in a low voice.
    “But
Julz, I am not those men,” he reminded her. She smiled and
shrugged.
    “I
know, that’s why I would rather avoid the fights when it comes
to you,” she said. “I love you Steve but…you have
to stop doing all this for me. I am not used to it,” she
pleaded. A smile played on his lips.
    “You
know if it was any other woman, this fight would be because I don’t
do the things I do,” he said. Julie smiled and nodded.
    “I
know,” she replied.
    “Listen
Julz, I hate that car and I’m not going to pretend that I’m
fine when you are driving it,” he argued. He leaned in and held
the back of her head. “If you don’t want me
