Take Me to Church

Chapter 12

Keith Andrew V. Ravena

The name still lingers in Dennise's head. Natulala lang siya sa dalawang tao sa harapan niya. It has been years since she last saw them... the worst thing is, she saw them together.

Dennise tried to compose herself. "Good afternoon Mr and Mrs Ravena" She said being casual. Treating her client as if they are like any other client. Alyssa and Kiefer on the other hand awkwardly looked at each other.

Dennise walked towards her desk and sat on her chair. She faced Alyssa and Kiefer. She still has those beautiful eyes, her oozing sex appeal, her toned arms and those dimples on her cheeks Dennise said in her mind. She adjusted her lab coat to ease up the tention in her.

"Den..." Alyssa said softly and about to stand up. Kiefer held her hand tightly and Alyssa looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Dr. Lazaro, we are here for the appointment." Kiefer said firmly.

"Right. I'll just look into his charts and we'll see what we can do." Dennise looked at the boy.

"Hello." Dennise said flashing her most angelic smile.

The kid looked at Den and flashed his smile. Dennise noticed the space between his teeth so innocent Dennise said in her thoughts.

"What's your name?" Dennise asked.

"Keith" the child said as he looks at Dennise.

"Hello Keith. I'm your Ate Den and I am here to help you"

Keith diverted his eyes from Dennise back to the television. She saw the sadness in his eyes.

Alyssa and Kiefer was just there watching the interaction of the two. Little did Dennise know that since she entered the room, Alyssa's eyes never left her.

Dennise was very fascinated as to how Keith was so in to Volleyball. She decided to sit on the kid's chair beside Kieth "Alam mo, I played a little Volleyball myself too back then"

"A little?" Dennise heard Alyssa say it but didn't move her head. she just took a glimpse at the girl with her eyes.

"Really?" Keith said with wide eyes. Dennise now sees the joy in his eyes.

Dennise noded.

"Same po pala kayo ni..." Keith looked at Alyssa but was interrupted.

"Yes Keith, they were on the same team too" Kiefer said.

"Really?" Keith looked at Dennise. Haw dropped.

"Really!?" This time he looked at Alyssa with the same intensity and she just noded.

"Yes. So, instead of talking here, can we start our check up so that we can talk about Volleyball more?" Dennise smiled. Her eyes aren't visible anymore because of it.

Keith gladly obliged.

After a few minutes the check up was finished and Dennise guided her clients to the door following them from behind. It's kind of awkward, the whole set up. You can feel the tension between the three of them. As they were going out of Dennise's private room, an image caught her eyes. Someone was waiting for her outside.

"Den..." the person said from the waiting area. Her eyes full of concern. She knew that something's not right.

Dennise walked a little faster towards the waiting area. Evident of concern in her eyes, it didn't escape Alyssa's eyes.

"Bei, what happened? I thought you have your shift tonight?" Dennise said caressing Bea's cheeks.

Bae? Alyssa said in her mind as she stares at the two.
