How can I help you, Beckham?I’mbusyspending time with my husband.
A lie. Something to say out of spite as I felt the internal guilt grow.
Hmmm… is that so?
Well, my little flower… you can get back to what you were doing, but I’m simply giving you a reminder that we’ll be having another session soon.
Tell me what time works for you next week.
Beckham. No. It was a one-time thing. You can’t use this against me. I already kept it from my husband.
Rosenna. What did I tell you when you were here?
The memories flooded in. His words from that night echoed in my mind as I swallowed hard.
Beckham, please.
You really want to piss me off.
What the fuck did I tell you, Rosenna?
I hesitated before responding.
You’re not done with me yet.
Exactly.
I thought about giving you some time to yourself for a while, but now I want to see you tomorrow. You better be here by five PM.
Running my hand through my hair as my stomach twisted in a knot, I sighed.
Beckham…
I’ll see you tomorrow, Flower.
It was the next day, and after finishing up my paperwork for the morning, I stood up and grabbed my bag to make my way to the door to meet Gavin for lunch.
“Hi, Gavin, what can I do for you?” I heard Kira say by the main desk.
“I have a lunch date with Rosenna this afternoon. I’m here to pick her up,” he muttered.
I could definitely tell the tensions were high between them.
“Huh, I was unaware… as you know, she’s very busy. Let me just take a look at her schedule,” Kira said, pulling out her phone. “Hmm, no availability today… I could squeeze you in for June of next year if you’d like? But only if you book now.”
“Kira,” he said, growing irritated.
I decided to intervene.
“Kira, what are you doing?” I asked.
She looked over at me as she smiled. “Well, would you look at that? Something just opened up right now… Dreams really do come true, hmm? Nightmares too…”
“Be nice, Kira,” I said, hiding my smile, and she waved us goodbye.
“I’m always nice. Have a good lunch break, guys!” She beamed, but as Gavin turned away, her smile dropped immediately.
I had to roll my eyes as I smiled myself. Kira obviously had a dislike for Gavin simply because I would trauma dump on her at times when things got a bit rough. As much as I reprimanded her for her behavior towards him, I had to admit, having a good laugh here and there was good.
