Tom Aylin's girlfriend never remembered his birthday -and Tom never minded. While Tom was tall and had a sturdy runner's build and smooth blond features he had always been held back by his former shyness. That was when he was younger, before he met her. For some reason he had found her easy to approach and even direct to a small degree -despite how defensive she was. The reason for the defensiveness was obvious to him -with her short hieght and smooth features she looked like a girl of thirteen -even in a cocktail dress; and people treated her accordingly.
Until her, girls had confused him -most were confident (and not merely defensive) which threw him off. He'd had girlfriends before but most had been cool regarding sex -whereas the girl he was with now almost seemed eager to prove herself to be an adult in every sense, even after four years together. They had met shortly after he'd turned 21 and he'd bought her her first drink ("why wouldn't I think you're old enough?" he'd asked "I was a year younger than you when I first drank").
None of this had been an act, she was bright and articulate and he'd always thought people were idiots for getting fooled by her looks. The last few months, however, something in him had changed. He always had appreciated her sexual aggression -but then he started feeling annoyed by it, and every time they had sex these days ended with her pinned to the bed -sometimes in tears and telling him he was hurting her. God he loved hearing that!
Today, however, it was a sunny afternoon and they were walking together in the mall, his arm was wrapped possesively around her as he had began doing and ahead was a Junior Miss shop -a shop with clothing for Tweens and teens. "hah, I see we've found your new store" he said teasingly to her, looking into her eyes with a gleam. "Let's go inside and see what we can find that fits you..." he said, pulling her in the direction of the store -she resisted,clearly reluctant and clearly not thinking this was as funny as he thought -but he was stronger and as the got closer he said "Come on -it's my birthday -you have to be nice to me today."
