[third person's pov]
"So you're telling me that you did not attend your whole classes that day and you stayed on the restroom the whole day just because you knew that she was being handled by another person?" Morticia sats down infront of her, "Can you stop making stupid decisions? It's not so you. I cannot believe you're letting youself be driven by your jealousy."
"Can you stop insulting me just for once?" Larissa answered back, caressing her forehead.
"Oh dearest, I am not insulting you. I'm just slapping you with the truth. You're making stupid decisions because you're lacking of Vitamin T. Vitamin Tish who gives you all the brutally honest truths that you need to realize eversince when we were young. Riri, do you even know how ridiculous you get when you're inlove?" Morticia places her hands on her desk, "You're easily fooled when you're in this state. Admit it, you need me. You need my guidance in these circumstances." she stood up and crawled in the desk towards her.
"Stop teasing me." Larissa said in annoyance.
"Don't worry, I got over you. Duh!" she cackled roughly, "Anyway, so you talked to her?"
"Her? Who her? My her or your her?"
"MY her. Not the young lady." Morticia clarifies.
"I dialled the number—"
"You did? When?!" Morticia sat down again when she knew that Larissa contacted the person she is referring to.
"Few days ago..." she sighs, "It's been years and I think she was quite shocked—"
"Of course, she would! What was her reaction?" Mortica asked as if she is so invested.
"She tries to calm me down."
"Amore mio, what an angel. How is she though? Is she married?" She keeps questioning Larissa.
"What were you saying, Tish? How ridiculous I get when I'm inlove?" she teased her while she holds her ear in a way that she cannot hear what she is saying.
"Silly, Larissa. I'm just curious. In fact, my son is keep setting up dates for me..." Morticia shooks her head. "Men dates, to specify."
"Why though? Doesn't he know that you're the mother of sapphic cult?" Larissa bursted in laughter which she haven't done for a long time.
"Riri! You're so mean! Of course, he doesn't know." she rolls her eyes. "So, what's your plan then? Do you have plans on coming back?"
"Tish, I'm settled here. I love waterloo but...I just cannot go back and live there anymore. I'm happy with this life that I chose." Larissa explains.
"But you need her help, don't you? You won't call her that night if you don't need her aid." She sincerely looked at her.
Larissa took a heavy sigh trying to think of her answer, "Undeniably, yes. Honestly, I kinda yelled at her during that night." she said with guilt.
"Let's make a deal, shall we?" Morticia stood up and then she walked towards Larissa. She held her shoulder and then she whispered something in her ear that made Larissa think deliberately.
"I cannot do that, Morticia. I have a lot of responsibilities in here that I cannot just let go."
"Then let's call an old friend to help us out." Morticia smirked as Larissa's eyes brightens because of her idea.
