My Chinese Girlfriend

Possessive Lover

As Chrissy was grappling with her mental health issues, Sandro's obsessive tendencies were causing her stress. He keeps an eye on her at the gym and there is an instructor at Anytime Fitness Abreeza who is overly accommodating even though he isn't her personal gym instructor. His name is Jonas. He keeps on prying about her life that it seems suspicious for her. She can't always go on a date with Sandro since her dad is monitoring her every move.

Since they weren't always meeting each other, it has caused Sandro to develop mild anxiety. She calls him every night just to ease his mind that she doesn't entertain other guys, but he uses dummy accounts and unknown numbers to check if she would entertain other guys. It has caused her a lot of stress that she has been to the psychiatrist four times this year. She talks to the psychiatrist about their issues and her psychiatrist is a part time pastor which is an added bonus since she is a Christian.

"Sandro, I'm not entertaining guys at all. I just had one boyfriend when we broke up on 2013 and that was it. I entertained guys when we broke up but I didn't try to replace you. I always thought about you. There was a time when we broke up that I felt helpless. I asked for God's healing and went to church. I never cheated on you." Chrissy explained.

"I know but my anxiety is making me overthink." Sandro calmly replied.

"That's why I suggested counselling and you weren't so keen about the idea. The thing is we're humans and we sometimes need professional help to get our issues resolved by a professional." Chrissy held Sandro's hand.

This conversation soothes Sandro's anxiety and he knows that Chrissy isn't a cheater. He just overthinks that maybe he isn't enough for her since her dad introduces her to a lot of Chinese guys.

"You know how my parents think about counselling.  They don't want people to know that we don't have your parent's approval and they don't want people to know I have mild anxiety." Sandro kissed Chrissy's cheek and hugged her tight.

It was one of those nights where they were sitting in a bench and was gazing at the stars across the sky at Jack's Ridge. They held hands and tried to comfort each other.
