Me, My Shrink And Lisa

Session thirteen: Cut my lip.

– Your best friend...? – I stay quiet – Why you never spoke about her?

– I'm still not over her death... Maybe that's the reason of all this mess...

– Well... – She sits up and puts her hair behind her ears and then puts her hands in mine, making me look at her – What did she die of?

– Car accident.

– Sudden death... Maybe you're right... Tell me more about her.

– I really, really don't want to. I'm sorry.

– It's okay... – She rests her head on my lap once again – I understand...

We stay quiet until my sister arrives. Really, really quiet. And she takes a long while to arrive.

– Lisa! – Maira says and Lisa stands – Hi! What are you doing here this late?

– I'm living nearby... – Lisa says.

– Oh, you guys moved? – Maira asks.

– No... I... I'm living with my aunt for a while... – Lisa says and looks at me – And I actually got to go...

– I will escort her home... – I say and stand up.

– Okay... Don't take too long... – Maira says and heads to the kitchen.

I take Lisa to her aunt's place and there's also no one there.

– You can go. – She says – I'll be fine.

– I'll stay until she comes. – I sit at the main entrance stairs and she sits beside me.

– For how long will you stay at your sister's?

– I don't know...

– Are you sure you're okay?

– I confronted my family with my feelings today. I'm more than okay. I'm great. – She smiles – Are you okay?

She hesitates.

– Yeah...

– Lisa...

– I will be okay.

– Do you want me to stay for the night here with you?

– You really don't need to. She'll be here soon. Let's just go inside. It's cold out here.

We head in and she walks to the kitchen.

– Do you want something to drink?

– Water would be fine...

She comes back with a glass of water in a hand and a bottle on the other.

– Here. – She says and hands me the glass and puts down the bottle at the dining table.

I take a sip and...

I cut my lip.

– Ow. – I say and put my hand on my lip then take it out and see that I'm bleeding.

– Oh, no. Let me see. – She takes out a handkerchief from her pocket and starts too clean my lip gently – It wasn't that bad...

She stops cleaning and looks deep into my eyes.

– Yeah... – I hiss and she gets closer to me – It wasn't...

She licks her lower lip and puts her hand on my cheek and I lean towards her.

And then she pinches me.

– I am going to kiss you. Not the other way around. – She says, I smile then, she kisses me.
