Couple's Therapy

I will always love you .....

Once Ben realized that they should've waited to attend one of these couples sessions, it was too late and Miranda weed snacks had fully kicked in.

"Face your partners and grab their hands and look into their eyes. Just sit and enjoy each other's company for a few minutes and then speak openly and freely when you're ready. Think of everything that you need to get off of your chest and picture yourself saying it to your partner and them receiving it to understand where you are coming from. Also picture and be willing to hear them as well."

Miranda started giggling. "This shit ain't go work because all I can picture is you naked right now!"

He shook his head. "Ben are you picturing me naked too?", she whispered. "Because if so we can have sex right here and right now, I'm pretty sure they won't notice."

"Baby why did you eat more snacks?! How am I suppose to know how you really feel?", he asked concerned.

"Why does it matter, it won't change anything. And I didn't know I was too distracted, but I probably would've did it again to avoid feeling anything."

"Miranda are you saying-...."

"I'm saying I don't want to feel anything okay......that's all!", she said and then before Ben could respond she looked over at another couple at a wife who was crying.

"See that's what I didn't want to feel. Pain! DON'T CRY GIRL FIND YOU ANOTHER ONE! DON'T WASTE FIXING SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY BROKEN!", Miranda yelled across to her.

"Please only speak to your spouses please!" And Miranda laughed.

"And what if we don't want to talk to them?", Miranda asked.

"Miranda stop!"

"Leave me alone Benjamin. I can ask a question", she said then giggled.  "Yoooo now he's crying hell naw.....see that's that bullshit! Get yall some snacks man, you'll forget everything."

"Is that what you want to do Miranda?"

"Is that what you want to do Miranda?", Miranda said mocking Ben.  "Gosh you're so annoying sometimes. Is what what I want to do?"

"To forget everything? Forget us and how far we've come?"

She laughed, "Where have we come from besides years of lies?!"

"Miranda our relationship hasn't been a lie."

"Then what the fuck-.......you know what nevermind. Can we....can....I'm leaving!", she said getting up.

"Miranda please you're not even hearing me out or really saying anything."

She looked down at him and felt hurt as the love between them that was once so strong now felt weak as ever. Apart of her wanted to end everything right then, by she sat back down.

Ben exhaled annoyed knowing this wasn't going to end well. "Miranda baby please just focus and let's get through today....okay!"

"You focus. Stop trying to control everything I do!"

"Miranda I'm not trying to control you. I'm trying to help us and I need you to focus."

"Focus for what? So I can see that my husband had a whole damn family without me. The hell I need to focus for? To see that I can't give you a family!", she said starting to get loud.

"Miranda shhhhh. You're too loud!"

"Oh now I'm too loud!"

"Miranda!"

"Fine Benjamin. Everything is about you and is really never going to be about me and Tuck anymore or us!", she said crying and getting up and walking off.
