Stranger Things

Get Use To It

Claire's POV
It's already morning and I felt arms wrapped around me. I feel... Safe. I feel like I want to stay in this position forever.
"Chris?" I yawned, I feel his arms loosen up.
I turned to his face, (still blurry) as I carressed his cheeks. I opened my eyes and I saw Owen's smug face.
"Owen..." he emphasized.

"Oh gosh, Owen!" my eyes widened.

"Surprise Surprise." he said in a flat tone.

I looked at the time and it's 6:05am, It's really early and the sunlight feels really good in my skin. I was wearing my favorite red nightgown that shows most of my back.
"Good Morning." I smiled at him.

"Nah... I'm still sleeping." he covered his pillow in his face.

"Oh, come on! It's a great morning!" I grabbed his pillows and blanket, then kicked him off bed.

*thud
"Oops, Sorry!" I smiled.

"Oh no... Sorry isn't enough!" he smirked.

"What do you want from me?!" I giggled.

"This..." He pouted, pointing at his lips.

"Nuh-uh, I'm not kissing you!!" I chuckled.

"I'll count to 3, if not I'll be the one kissing you!" He smirked.

I covered my mouth and sat still.
"One"
He started tickling my sides that prevented me from covering my mouth.
"Two"
I stopped his hands with my strength and continued laughing...
"Thr-" I ran towards the bathroom and locked myself inside.
"Stop it, Owen!" I laughed.

"THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!" I screamed.

"Oh, you won't stay there forever." he called.

"Yes, I will!" I snapped back.

Ugh, We're going to be late in our weekly therapy. And both of us should arrive on time or the money will be taken by the judge. I'm lucky that I'm inside the bathroom, I'd take a bath now...

Owen's POV
'That should keep her from leaving... Ha! I'll be the First to arrive there!!' I changed my clothes and putted gel on my hair, then ran towards the Therapy center.

When I arrived, I opened the door and-
"Hi Honey..." Claire smiled.

"How'd you??" my eyes widened.

"About time, Mr. Grady." the therapist raised an eyebrow.

I let out a sign, "Sit down." She added.

"Okay, speak." I whispered at Claire.

"I have my ways, Mr. Grady. I'm never late." she smirked.

"You used the bathroom window, didn't you?" I chuckled.

"Shut up." she whispered.

I chuckled at her reaction and started paying attention to the therapist...

"the problem Mr. And Mrs. Grady is, you're both not putting effort to this relationship... You must show us your sweet sides!!" she explained.

Claire and I pretended that we were interested while smiling at the Therapist.

"I'm not buyin' that... Now show me your sweet side... Lean to each other."

I leaned slightly to Claire, and Claire did the same.

"Closer."

I leaned more and so did Claire...

"Closer."

We both leaned together, our heads already collided and we still managed to Smile, forcefully.

Lots of activities were made at that session... Claire and I went home breathless and exhausted. But none of them changed our minds about divorcing.
