On the floor: Leave your ego behind

Equality is an imperfect notion created by our egoistic self to ease the shock brought to our attention by our weakness.
“Why did you change the direction we were facing? You should have stick with what we originally planned to do in the first place and face the side with more audience.” She barked at me as I walked out of the door, fuming with anger at the insulting tone she’s been using. She’s like a kid who grab on to any chance to feel righteous in order to smack me down with the hammer of justice.

I didn’t argue. From the tone she used, she’d already passed the judgement that I am guilty. The truth is, I did it in the heat of the moment; on a hunch. This will sound silly in an argument no matter how I look at it.

The night’s show was a charity event to raise money and we are the spotlight of the night to attract the old widows and divorced millionaires. Which means, I don’t want to fight in front of the people… Nope, the temporary truce didn’t last till the end of the night and the only way I can find to avoid having people hear us fight, is to turn towards the door and get there as fast as I can.

How do I tell her that I changed the routine so she will end up doing the split in front of the smaller crowd, whom I think are more important. How do I tell her that I think flashing some of her skin to them was the intention for that change? Worst of all, how do I justify selling her body to “Dirty old men?”. So instead, I just listened to her quietly and bid her goodnight.
