Though she be little.....

She slaps me hard across the face.
It catches me off guard. I grab her by the wrists to restrain her but as petite as she is, she is fierce.
Like many of the women I date her small frame belies a ferociousness that proves surprising when tested.

We're that couple fighting in the parking lot. She punches me then tries to knee me in the balls but I don't blame her.
I hold her until she tires and stops writhing and walk her inside.
I tell her I want my things, I tuck them under my arm and drive home.
I wake up and train before work like normal.

I leave work and meet a girl with whom I used to work.
She's cute, petite, dark-haired, and oddly enough, I run into the roomate of a former girlfriend who for all her giving me a hard time is clearly wanting the "D".
But, she's white, plain, pale and not in a good way, too thin, taller than me, and virtually bereft of qualities I find attractive. As it is, the bartender notes the way this girl digs me, and the girl I came to meet lays up on me and though superficially I feel good, I am nonplussed.

The night progresses and I pass all the prerequisite tests......but I am tired from not sleeping much the night before due to the break-up, training before work and after....and all I really want is to sleep a million hours. I climb into her bed and pass the fuck out to sleep unfitfully until work in the morning. It's like sleeping in because I don't wake up at 530am to grind it out for a couple hours before work.
