She was really quiet the whole drive at home. I know there was something about her father but I didn’t know it’ll make her that upset. She must be really close to him.
I know where to take her to stir clear her mind, My beach house. I stopped the car and take her hand. If she needs time I’ll give her that but if she wants to be alone Sorry! I won’t do that, Not at any cost.
Thankfully she doesn’t say that thing either.
“ How did that happen?” We sat on the bench in front of the sea, it’s a great view from here, And before I could stop my words, I asked her.
“ He was ill,” She said, really that’s it? Maybe! She must be closed with him.
“ He must be proud of you” I don’t want her upset but I want to know what is it which makes her this vulnerable.
“ I hope so,” She smiled at that and shrugged.
“ Yes, of course, So how about we could give you dad more reason to be proud at you” I tried to lighten up the mood and it worked.
“ You are so weird, you know that right” She shook her head in denial and we get straight back to the home after some time. There’s really a pile of work to do.
We joked, watched TV and it was a ridiculous thing that she likes sports and action movies. I mean what type of girl loves that. But somehow I find that cute too, and I fell in love with her even more.
“ Ethan, Stopped laughing at me, what’s wrong with that?” I was laughing at her hysterically. Her expressions were damn sweet.
“ Okay, Okay, stopped making those faces” I promised her and she rolled her eyes.
That was the best time with her. Since I know her.
I didn’t know how long we worked, and when I said goodbye to her but some weird noises wake me up. I glanced at the clock and got up from my place. It’s morning already.
“ Hey, sleepyhead, Good morning” She greeted me. She’s in the kitchen Iceland trying to finding something.
“ eeee, Thanks, What are you doing?” I asked her confused.
“ Making coffee, I have been told I can make the best coffee in the world” She winked at me. Man! Her coffee.
“ Marry me”
She laughed out loud and resume her work. I really need that strong coffee. How did she get up this early? And It clicked me something.
“ What about Dr. Phill” She gave me confused looks.
“ What about him?” I ran my hands through my hair before saying. “ I mean you still go there, don’t you?”
“ Nope, I haven’t had any sessions with him after that day,” She said, stirring that coffee constantly.
“ What? Why?” That says everything, I tried to locate her on Saturdays but never had a chance to see her. How could I see her if she’s not even there? I didn’t call Dr. Phil for verification, I don’t want to take any chances.
“ Sometimes, We have to help ourselves and that’s the thing I understand now, there’s nothing he could have done anything if I wasn’t in my mind. So, I dropped that therapy thing. And, here’s your coffee” She gave me a mug and my mouth started to water.
“ That’s great! if you are willing to do that to yourself,” I took a sip of it. God, it’s purely heaven. She giggled at my expression. I can not get over with this thing.
She takes a stool beside me and sat there.
“ Can I asked you something?” I asked cautiously, I hope she’ll answer to that.
She nods her head
“How’re your nightmares?”
She seems to be thinking, just don’t lie with me right now, please. Or else I don’t know how would I control my outburst.
“ They are not that strong, nowadays. I think I can cope with that” She said cautiously, I sighed with the relief. I didn’t know I was holding that breath this whole time.
She does know that she’s strong but there are stages in our lives we needed someone to hold our hand, to embrace us in their arms.
I want to tell her how much I’m in love with her but I guess I’ll wait for the right time.
Geezz I sound like my father.
