ADDICTED TO YOU

Chapter 12

I'm back with school and my therapy sessions with Dr. Santi... it's a good thing she doesn't mention him from time to time. I couldn't understand myself anymore, it's like when he left... he took a part of me... making me feel half on the inside... incomplete. I got frequent calls from officer Botti, he's checking up on me every once in a while. I was in Dr. Santi's office we were in the middle of a talk when her phone rang. Standing up she took that call and when she got back, she had an all ears smile. I wonder what's gotten her mood so good.

"Heather, would you like to join us for dinner?"

She had that hopeful eyes, persuading me to say yes. Ever since she knew I was Viggo's mate she always insisted I go join them for dinner after each session was done... I always turn her down, but today she had that glee on her face making it hard for me to say no. He's not there, so what's the matter? I just don't know... how my inner being would react once she sees him.

"I--- don't know----

She was pleading with her eyes making it harder to resist her offer, Dr. Santi has been helping me all throughout therapy... atleast I could thank her through this.

----- okay, but only for tonight.... Dr."

"Oh enough with the formalities. I can't wait for you to taste his Spaghetti Bolognaise."

"Whose Spaghetti Bolognaise?"

"Nothing, come on let's go."

The ride in their house took longer than I thought. The winter was almost coming to an end, how long has it been since I saw him? The forest was as green as ever, the beautiful sight was breathtaking... it wasn't a wonder aunt Luciana fell in love with this place.

"It's beautiful isn't it?"

The reverie that I was in was shaken by her voice. Dr. Santi was on the wheel, turning to her side I saw contentment on her face.... this place is their home... their turf and the place they'll always come back to no matter what happens. I didn't even have that, I wish I did.

"Yes it is."

Minutes later we were in front of the Santi's Mansion, it was as beautiful as the last time I saw it. I didn't know why I feel different right now, I feel that something's up.

"Come, honey I'm sure Gustavo would be glad to see you."

The moment I stepped inside, the aroma of the food cookin' in the kitchen filled my senses. It's a good thing I didn't turn Dr. Santi down... the food just smells mouthwatering.

"Hi Heather. It's a surprise you didn't turn her down this time."

Gustavo had his arms circled in Caterina's waist kissing her on the cheeks. The both of them really look good together.

"I was surprised myself."

We all laughed at what I said. I could say I've had a lot of progress with the sessions and all... some of the girls in school are noticing my progress too, smiling up at me each time we cross path  or that one time when they had to ask me about a certain topic in History class. My life was getting better I suppose... no more furious wolves trying to abduct me or anything... well there are still wolves... but just the ones that doesn't wanna abduct me.

"I'll just make a call and I'll be back in a jiffy."

Caterina went out for a bit and Gustavo went down in their wine cellar to get some of his favorites. I was left alone in the living room, I noticed the portraits hanging on the glass wall... it was stolen  pictures of.......Viggo, one of him resting his head on a table, the other one was of him with his hands resting on his chin, as if he was in deep thought, but what caught my attention most was this portrait of him looking back at the camera... like someone just called out his name and he just had to turn around. My heart was going wild, I didn't understand why... I'm acting this way... it's just pictures.
