"What?" Kai asked confused. I don't blame him. I just ranted to him about my session with Samantha. So much for client-therapist confidentiality.
"Yep heard her whine about that for 60 whole minutes."
"Wow."
"Indeed.' i added, " OH, and guess the name of her best friend?"
"Arabella?" I roll my eyes.
"Tiffany."
"Ofcourse she's a Tiffany." Does he not get where I was going with this?
"Remember Tiffany Anderson?"
"Wait was she the one who slept with Mr. Doberman to pass his class."
" Yep." I cringed and he chuckled. I would rather fail a million times than sleep with an old hag like him.
"So," his deep voice sends shivers down my spine. "I called because you hadn't responded to any of my texts." He continued, "Look I am sorry for how I spoke on texts, I must have come across as quite rude which certainly wasn't my intension."
"Wait, hold on," he never apologized, never. " Is the mighty Kai Vincent apologizing?
"I must have saved a village in my past life." I took out my laptop and began typing furiously.
"What are you doing?"
"Tweeting about it, the world deserves to know." I grinned.
"Don't frown. You once failed a test and made me apologize for it." He said that if it hadn't been for me, he wouldn't have gotten yelled at by his mother. Because I passed.
"You are never going to let me live that down, are you?"
"But for real though, I didn't mean to come across as that rude. i umh- got worried."
This was what triggered me that day. People treat me like I don't know what I'm supposed to do. It's like they get to decide and map out my life and reason it out through adjectives like "care", "worry", "concern", "love".
"How come it's so easy for people to hurt you when you go to such lengths to protect them?" This was no longer about us.
A moment or two passed in absolute silence.
"When there is immense love, the person not only showers you with it but also takes liberty with you. They intend to do all those things and make all those decisions for you which according to them is for your best even though in that process you get your heartbroken." His voice strangely soft yet hard at the same time.
"It won't."
"Hmm?."
"It's already broken," I whisper back, my eyes starting to burn again. I laid down on the bed and pulled the duvet over me in my 'hiding from the world' position.
