I started to feel a sharp pain on both sides of my face and for some strange reason, my neck was hurting. Finally, after a small moment, I opened my eyes a crack and saw that it was Joy smacking my face side to side hard. She smacked my face and I felt my neck pop, it felt great.
"Ashen, wake the fuck up!" She yelled out as I closed my eyes again.
"OW!" She started to pull on my bear-like ears hard. "Please stop it! I give in! I am up! I'm up!"
I raised my hands in defeat as she let go. She continued to cuss me out, under her breath. I pouted at her as I sat up while rubbing my sore ears. There are some days that I hate my sensitive ears and this was one of them.
"That really hurt and it felt like you almost ripped them off. How would you feel if I pulled on your ears?"
"Next time, get up when I tell you to."
"Aye, aye, Captain!" I pretended to salute her. "You know, with your violent hands you could be a massage master."
