Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 35

Ensure to like and comment after reading,it means alot to me and y’all know it ?.

? Kim’s p.o.v?

“It’s a good thing you are no longer having the nightmares” the therapist i.e the priest Lucy told me about.

“Yes. It occurs once in a while but it isn’t usually serious like how it was before”.

“That’s good news” she beamed.

“Yes. I think” I nodded.

“Kimberly?” She called out.

“Hmm” I said distracting myself with the boring interior design of her office.

The priest office isn’t how I imagined a therapist office to be. It was messy with books and folders packed on each other,it wasn’t arranged in an orderly manner or sequence but the room was still tidy. She held her therapy sections in one of the spare rooms in the church building.

“You need to improve in your communications with people” she paused looking at my facial expression before continuing “I know you have been through a lot and trusting people wouldn’t be an easy task for you again but you really need to communicate with people”.

“Did Lucy tell you this?” I asked .

She shook her head before tapping the edge of her pen, something I have noticed she usually does whenever she is unsure of whatever she wants to say. “She might have told me something like that” she paused after seeing I was frowning my face. “But I also noticed it too. Look I don’t know how you see Lucy from your own perspective but we have been friends since we were kids and I trust her but I am not forcing you to do. During our consecutive sessions,I remember telling you to try to open up to people. Try to make new friends”.

“I remember you telling me not to let my guard too down either” I pinpointed.

“Yes I did tell you that and that is because you might have trusted people alot in the past which did not go well. You can talk to people without pouring out your mind to them,all I am asking is for you to try to more people”.

“Okay I would try” I told her doubting myself,I don’t think I would be able to open up to people the way I did before.

“Okay. That’s all for today,enough of the serious talks” she paused looking at my protruding stomach and I smiled when I saw the look on her face. “How is our baby doing?”.

“Good. Just good I guess” I told her.

“The boy is quite energetic,your stomach looks like you are going to have two boys” she teased.

“Of course not” I retorted “and for the uptheenth time I am not gonna have a boy Child” I told her feigning annoyance.

She always insisted I was going to have a baby boy but I don’t want a baby boy,i needed a baby girl. Don’t get me wrong,I love both genders but I wanted my first child to be a girl.

“We aren’t gonna have this argument again are we?” She teased lifting the side of her mouth in a funny way.

“You are the one always arguing about it. You should probably stop”.

“Maybe you should consider a scan to see who is telling the truth” she suggested. She always told me to consider a scan but I wasn’t a fan of things like that and I don’t want to leave the house either.

“No. I don’t think I want a scan” I told her and she nodded like she always did whenever we argued about the gender of the child.

“Don’t you think you are becoming more antisocial” she teased.

“No” I snapped and she burst into laughter.

This woman was weird.

?️??️??️?

“Kim open the door” I heard Lucy say from the other side of the door.

I just wanted to sleep.

I stood up before putting on one of the shorts she bought me. Lucy was a nice woman no doubt and she made me feel at home and safe but that was the same thing that terrified me about her,she was so nice and I was scared of trusting her but I really like the lady.

“Hello to you Kim” she greeted like she didn’t just see me some hours ago.

“Hello” I replied rubbing my temple.

“Do you want an aspirin? It looks like you have a headache”

“No thank you. I am just tired” I told her honestly.

“The doctor called to ask if you are coming over to the hospital today,you haven’t gone for a check up for about a week now” she said.

“Yes. I have been tired lately and I also had therapy sessions,it haven’t been easy”.

“I know that was why I told him to drop by tomorrow evening if it is okay with you”.

“Yes. He should please drop by. Thank you”. I told her.

“Hmm” she was about to say something but she didn’t know how she was gonna say it and sincerely i didn’t blame her because I have been snapping more than usual lately.

Don’t blame me, it’s the baby.

“Just go on Lucy” I said when she was still fidgeting with her fingers. I am not that terrifying right? When did I turn this bad?

“Hmm,my son is coming over for dinner tonight. Would you love to meet him and say hello…again?” She asked me.

I have met her son once,he looked like a nice guy but I didn’t like the look he gave me when his mom told him about where she met me. I wasn’t homeless and I definitely didn’t expect Julia to send people to kidnap me and injure me. To cut the long story short,the meeting didn’t go well because I snapped when he continued to ask several questions and he even proceeded to tell his mom that I probably coolval stories made everything up and she should be security conscious right in my presence.

I am not a saint but I definitely wouldn’t hurt an animal not to talk of a human being. I might have been hurt and betrayed in the past but I wouldn’t retaliate by killing or injuring anybody for no reason.

“Well?”she asked when she noticed I already spaced out.

“I don’t think this is a good idea. I am really tired right now and I don’t think I can come down for dinner” I declined politely but the look in her eyes said otherwise.

“I know you and Tyler didn’t have a good first impression of each other but he is a good boy and he wouldn’t just say things like that about you ,he was only concerned about me and I have told him you aren’t one to lie to me” she said again.

“I know,I understand he was just looking out for you and I am not angry about that because I would be like that if my mom just picks up a random stranger from her farm. But I am really tired and I need to rest” I told her honestly.

“You can just come down and say hello. I promise he wouldn’t do anything stupid and you have to eat dinner right” she persuaded.

“I would try” I told her deciding not to argue with her over a trivial issue like this.

All I had to do is to sit and stay quiet before retiring to my room.

“Thank you Kim. I should leave you to rest now” she said before retreating down the hall and I took a deep breath before shutting the door.

??????

We were currently at the dinner table and the Tyler guy have been throwing daggers at me with his eyes. He haven’t said anything shady since but there was still a hint of sarcasm in his words whenever he talked,I didn’t have the strength to argue with him because I barely had an hour rest before Lucy came to drag me for dinner.

I picked at the food,Lucy loved pasta no doubt because we ate pasta at least twice a week or lasagna and there weren’t exactly my favourite foods. I sipped the soda drink in front of me before gulping a glass of water still aware of the scorching gaze of the guy beside me.

What’s with rich guys anyways.

“Do you attend college?” The guy asked looking at me. That was the first sentence he directed at me tonight,he was engrossed in a topic with his mom and he totally shut me out and I was grateful I wasn’t Forced to converse because I definitely didn’t want to join the conversation.

“Yes” I replied scooping a spoonful of vegetables into my mouth.

“You got a degree? Where?” He asked again.

“Yes at Harvard” I told him.

“You went to Harvard?” He asked again.

“Yes”.

“Aren’t you thinking of doing something with your life after you deliver your child?” He asked again.

Of course I was gonna do something with my life,my life wouldn’t just waste like this.

I have thought about it for the last three months I have been with Lucy,I would put to bed in the next three months and I didn’t want to give birth in new york,I want to leave new York and settle down with my child in another place entirely. I haven’t told Lucy yet but I can’t continue to stay with her,I needed to move on and do something with my life and take care of my child myself too.

“Of course I would do something with my life after I put to bed. Before I put to bed, I would leave the country, settle down and find a job” I told them without mincing a word.

“You are gonna leave?” Lucy gasped.

I nodded “yes,I will. I can’t just keep staying here and hmm…I just need to forget about everything”. I told her sincerely.

My therapist must have talked to me about changing places. She said staying in the same city might bring back unpleasant memories and I might not be able to move on because several things keeps dragging me back and I desperately wanted to move on for my child and I.

“Kim you didn’t tell me about this” she scolded before dropping her spoon.

“I am sorry but I think it is for the best. I feel like I am a liability here” I told her sincerely and her son looked away

I wasn’t saying this for saying sake,I needed to move on and stop wallowing in self pity,I would have a child in a few months.

“You aren’t a liability Kim. I have no problem with you moving away but you are just getting better and you are expecting a baby. You should get delivered of your baby before you decide to leave, traveling in this condition with nobody to help isn’t a good idea” she said again.

“But this is what I want to do. I am sorry but you don’t need to bother about me,I have a little money saved and it can sustain me for some time before I get something to do but I desperately want to leave this city as soon as possible”.

“Kim I didn’t…” She was saying until her son interrupted her.

“How about working with me?” The guy asked looking at me straight in the eyes.

Did I hear him right? The guy didn’t even like me and he probably was still suspicious of me so why would he offer me a job? probably because of his mom.

“I don’t think that is a good idea” I told him sincerely. I needed a job but not from him and I didn’t want to work in new York either.

“Why? You obviously need something to do”

“Yes I do need a job but I don’t to work in new York City. I desperately want to leave the city” I told him.

“I have another branch of my company in the phillipines” he paused “I remember my mom telling me you are a half philipino by blood. Which country exactly do you want to travel to?” He asked again.

He wasn’t giving up yet was he?

I know Lucy family was rich but I didn’t expect her last son that was probably few years older than me to have a company in another country. They were so easy going that you wouldn’t believe they are this rich.

“I..I don’t know yet” I stuttered feeling stupid. I wanted to travel but I didn’t know the country I wanted to relocate to.

He sighed “you should probably consider the Philippines then,since you are partly from there and who knows you might meet some of your mother’s family and.. there is a job offer too over there” he paused “I am not pressuring you to take the job but you should try to consider the offer but if you don’t want to i still have no problem with any country you want to go to” he continued on.

“I would think about it”. I told him.

And the night went on with us gisting and i surprisingly contributed to some of their conversations,it wasn’t that bad. The Tyler guy was loosing up and so was I,he might have offered to get me water when my glass got empty on more than one occasion.

He wasn’t that bad.

I went to bed with a thought at the back of my mind. Which country do I want to relocate to? Philippine isn’t a bad choice but I don’t have to be pressured into doing something again.

The last one didn’t end well.

I just needed to think this over and over again looking at the pros and cons.

I thought of many possible possibilities before sleep overtook me.

??????

Well. Well. Well.

It have been three days now. How are we all doing?

I am secretly shipping Tyler and Kim how about tykim?
