My Comfy Place

Chapter 43

Tharn's POV

Today is my second appointment with my therapist, Type can't come with me today because he needs to work on an assignment.

He wanted to come with me but I said that it will be okay and that I want him to focus some more on school.

So he brought me and went back home. Now I'm sitting in the room waiting for my therapist.

These last 2 days I've been trying to talk to people, I had some really small conversations with Type's parents and with Techno. Sometimes I still get anxious but Type is always next to me, so it's fine.

I was deep into my thoughts until I heard someone clear their throat.

"Good afternoon Tharn." She said.
"Good afternoon."
"I see you have been working on your communication. "
"Yeah, its okay now."
"I see, so with how many people have you talked?"
"With Type it's 4 and without its 3."
"Okay that's good and may I know who those people are?"
"Two are Type's parents and the other one is Techno and he is a friend of Type and me."
"Okay, what did you talk about?"
"Oh, just about simple things, we mostly had short conversations."
"Okay, you are really trying your best."
"Yeah, I want to be fine as soon as possible."
"Thats good, not many of my patients have that mindset."
"Okay."
"Okay, so now I want you to talk about how you feel when someone touches you."
"Oh, so when Type touches me it's fine but when someone else does it I don't know what happens but it's like my body rejects it. Like my mind is okay with it but my body isn't."
"Okay, do you have any idea what the cause of it can be?"
"Uhm I think its because my mom used to hit me so now after meeting her again my body thinks it will happen again?"
"You are really smart. So for now I want you to pick a person, other than Type, that you hug, just a person who you trust and then the next time you will tell me how it went?"
"Okay, I will try."
"Thats good, so when do you want to make us meet next?"
"Do you have time next Wednesday?"
"Yeah I have time from 3pm to 4pm."
"Okay, I'm free too."
"Thats good, so I will see you next week."
"Yeah, see you next week."

Then I bowed at her and said goodbye. I went outside and messaged Type to come and get me.

While waiting I was thinking who I should choose. Maybe I should choose Type's mom, she is always nice and her hugs are nice and warm but they aren't the same as Type's.

Soon I saw Type's car stopping in front of me.
I got in and smiled at him.

"I think it went good." He said.
"Yep, it's going good, for this week I need to let someone other then you hug me."
"Okay, and who do you want to hug? Choose wisely because I'm jealous."
"Silly, I was thinking about your mom, she is always so sweet and her hugs are amazing."
"Yeah that's true."
"So my choice is fine, no need to be jealous?" I asked him.
"No its fine." He said.
"You are really an idiot."
"Yeah, but you fell for this idiot."
"Yes sometime I wonder why."
"Hey, I have good things too."
"I know because else I wouldn't be yours."
"Good that you know you are mine."
"Yeah but you are mine, so no one is allowed to touch you without my permission, only me and your parents."
"Your possessive side is sexy."
"So I'm sexy only when I'm possessive?"
"No, always but it's more sexy."
"Hehe, fine. Can you drive now?"
"Yeah sure, are you tired?" He asked while starting to drive.
"A bit but it's fine."
"Thats good. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Some Tom Kha Gai ( chicken in coconut soup)."
"Thats good, mom wanted to cook something you would want to eat."
"Why?"
"She just wants to."
"Okay."

After that we just sang along with the music. It's always funny when Type tries to sing, his voice isn't really that good but he isn't ashamed of it.

When we reached his home we greeted his parents and talked for awhile.

Then his mom started cooking dinner and his dad went to water the plants in the garden.
