Happily Ever After?

Chapter 6

Niall Horan_____________

Kamryn and I had been through many therapy sessions and I think we were getting close to our last one. I hope

Thank god

"Today I want to try some bonding exercises with you two." Dr Salvidor grabbed his all too familiar leather journal and a pen with the office logo on it.

"Okay."

"First of all I want you guys to try Soul Gazing."

"Soul Gazing?" Kamryn repeats making sure she heard him right.

what the hell is soul gazing

"Soul gazing, is cheesy, but if you two can stair at each other for three minutes straight without getting distracted that helps with bonding, and it really shows progression."

"Okay." Kamryn turns to me biting her lip trying not to smile.

She knows this is pointless just as well as I do.

"Alright." I agree.

"Now I'm going to set my timer for 3 minutes and I want you two to just gaze at each other. Take it as a staring contest if you will, but you can blink, a-"

"Okay we get it." I interrupt causing Kamryn to snicker and the therapist to shut up.

He grabbed his timer setting it to 3 minutes and Kamryn and I began to "gaze" at each other. However we were silently conversing more then gazing.

She was biting her lip trying not to laugh at the silly method while I made faces at her.

I crossed my eyes and puffed my cheeks out making it harder for her to keep her giggles in.

'Stop'

She mouths as if we weren't allowed to talk. In all honesty I don't think we were allowed to talk.
This only pushed me to make another face causing her to snort.

I wanted to look over at Dr. Salvidor to see if he was even paying attention to my childish behavior, but I was afraid he might restart the timer if I did.

"Don't laugh now." He speaks up and I roll my eyes, again, making Kamryn chuckle.

A minute had gone by and Kamryn finally contained all of her laughter and she now held a more serious face.

So I kicked her foot, where Dr.
Salvador might not notice.

Surprisingly Kamryn kicked me back.
I raised my eyebrows when she put her tongue to the side of her cheek as if to say

"What now?"

So I kicked her again and she returned the favor.

We did this for ten minutes straight until I accidentally kicked the coffee table in front of us instead of her foot.

"Fuck!" I hiss.
"Niall." Kamryn scolds trying not to laugh.

"Sorry for my French." I look to the therapist. "That just really hurt."

I prop my foot up on my knee holding it a bit.
