After a lot of workouts and me panting every 2 minutes, we had some food.

Xavier told me how I was improving and that I needed to take the meds daily.

We started chatting more. He's an amazing guy.

"Don't worry, A. It's all fine. Let me drop you up there. Come on." That's a new nickname. Wowee!

"No," I said a bit too loudly.

"I mean, I want to do it. Alone." I nodded and took a deep breath.

"I'm always with you, A. Remember this" he kissed my clavicle.

"Adios"

"Vale"

+++++

'Hello, I'm Avaha. You can call me anything'

Jeez No.

'Hello, I'm Avaha. Nice to meet you'

A bit too tacky.

"Miss. Campbell, Your turn" A short woman told me.

I tried to smile at her, but she didn't smile back.

Rude.

"Hello, I'm Nisha. You can call me Nish. Please have a seat" The melanin had literally grazed her skin. She was pretty with those black eyes.

"Hey, I'm Avaha. You can call me va va"

I stopped.

WHAT?

"No. I mean, I'm Avaha. Sorry, I'm just nervous"

I'm a pro at embarrassing myself. Someone should award me.

She smiled. "It's fine. I understand. Make yourself comfortable. There's water to your right and a few cookies besides it."

Chocolate chip. I'm totally having them.

"We have to fill a form. Formalities, you know. Then we'll start. Please tell me if you aren't comfortable with anything. We'll take it slow"

"Okay" I smiled a bit.

She's a good soul.

+++++

I was now in the car with Caro and we were silent since we left that building.

Therapy was okay. I didn't tell her everything tho. She asked me about my strengths and my favorites too. She also asked the reasons behind them.

Later she scheduled my appointment for next week. I wasn't too comfortable with the whole thing, but Dr.Nish was helping me.

It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.

I was aware of my surrounding since he was rubbing his thumb on my thigh and that made me feel safe.

I was safe.

He gripped my thigh.

"Let's go" he patted my thigh.

"Dr. Nish is good." I tried to ease his worries.

The bomb will explode in

"Are you sure? Were you comfortable there? Are you sure about-"

"Shut it, Mr. Dimples" I poked his cheeks.

"A what? He raised his brow

"Nothing" I turned to leave.

"Are you perfectly fine with the therapy?" He pulled me back to his chest.

"I am. Don't worry" I pecked his lips.

"Ouu. Someone's bold" he said and picked me up.


The next morning he woke me up.

"Wake up sleepy panda" He brought me a plate of breakfast.

"I don't want to. Let me sleep. It's Sunday either way" I threw a blanket over my head.

"I've got your favorite juice. Come on now" This person needs to get off me.

"Caro, Get off me. Please let me sleep" How do I tell him?
He gently took off my blanket and stroked my cheek.

"Wakey wakey" I smiled back at him.

"My back's hurting" I clenched my jaw. Someone remove the upcoming days.

"Why? Did you pick something heavy or did you fall?" This man and his concern.

He's honestly the first person who's concerned about me.

My inner girl is fanning herself.

He's spoiling me and am I denying it? Jeez NO!

"TOTM"

"Come again"

That's what she said.
What? It's not me. I didn't say that.

"Time of the month. Periods." I hope he's not disgusted or anything. I'll not talk to him if he feels something bad about it.

Silence.

I'm telling y-

"Let me help?" There he is. My man.

"How?" I folded my hands.

"You tell me. What help do you want? Want me to get something? Your favorite ice-cream?" We need more people like him.

See, that's how you treat someone who's on periods. Not by getting disgusted or annoyed.

"I need some pads and chocolate pastries, please. Please" I pressed more on please.

Would he be ashamed to go and buy them? Of Course he would be, but they're just pads.
But he's a guy.

"Of course. Here let me take you to the bathroom" He picked me up gently and made me sit there.

"Here" he gave me a toothbrush with the paste on it.

"I'll be back soon. Call me if you need anything. And don't walk around uselessly. Take a nap"

Isn't he just amazing?
He is.

"I'm sorry to send you to get the pads. I had some in my purse, but a girl needed it and I gave her. I'm sorry" I fiddled with the base of the brush.

"Look up, beautiful" I looked up in his eyes.

He unfurrowed my brows with his index and middle fingers.

"Why would I be ashamed to get something for my girl? It's just pads. I'll get anything you demand or wish, understand?"

I nodded.

I adore this human.

"Words" He gripped my chin and squished my cheeks.

"Understood"

He nodded and pecked my lips.

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet. Morning breath is real boy" I slapped his arm.

"It's the least of my concerns and it's man, not boy" He said and left.

Of course he's a man. My man.

I squealed.

I hope the reason for this smile remains the same forever.
That's me!
