Chapter 3 - Ch 3 -The labyrinth

"Ms. Walker you.."

I abruptly interrupted, "Meredith please."

"Uh ..ok..so.."

"Continue, please " I halted again.

He gave me a stare and I knew that he was getting irritated slowly but steadily and it made chuckle again.

He said, "what's so funny Meredith ?!"

I replied hastily with sarcasm "so Mr .. August knows my name" and I smirked at him.

"Why is your name August and not September, November or December sounds good ."I burst into laughter.

He said," well that's because my name is not the same as cats or dogs " he gave that cold smile.

I gave that phony smile as well.

" Can we talk business please ?!"

"But I am not a businesswoman and you are not one either ..omg .. are you ...a .. split personality ?"

"You sometimes think that you are a business tycoon or something .... sometimes.." I grinned again.

I saw him slowly get pissed off but the only problem these therapists have is that they have a lot (stressed) of forbearance.

He continued.

" You said something about the labyrinth, right? Why did you say so?"

"Because my mind is a labyrinth where I am trapped for 8 years now and tomorrow is 9 years anniversary ." I grinned at him.

"Please be serious Meredith !" He shouted.

He nearly surprised me.

"Ok," I said in a rough flamboyant voice.

"So have you ever considered breaking out of it ?"

"I tried ... but I failed miserably... it just gets tougher and tougher to withstand there and now I'm tired I can't move about anymore...my legs, I don't feel them anymore the have turned sore and hurt so bad ...I can hear the sound of my bones breaking slowly and slowly and the pain ...it grows deeper and deeper settling itself into my skin ..but then I can hear a voice screaming my name ..."

"Who is it? "

"I don't know but every time I hear it I am raged with anger !"

"Why? "

"Because it demands me something that I can't offer ."

"What is it? "

"Love."

He kept quiet for a minute and then said "why can't you offer love ?"

"I .. I just don't have that "love" inside me. It's long dead and even if try arouses it, it won't wake up."

"Why?"

"Because it's dead."

"How many friends do you have Ms. Walker?"

"Meredith !" I replied in a pissed off manner.

"Sorry .. Meredith ."

"Humans or imaginary ?" I replied.

"Humans ."

"None," I replied instinctively.

"And imaginary ?"

"Tons which one do you want to know about? " I said with a suppressed excitement.

"None ." He said coldly.

" They are way better than me, "I said.

He gave that cold gaze again.

"You are very handsome." I finally said it as I could not monitor myself anymore.

He gave a stunned look.

I shrugged.

"Perfect hair, beautiful face, fit body, long legs .. you are perfect boyfriend material ." I grinned.

"Stop getting ahead of yourself !" He said in a suppressed way

"You know there are two types of people according to me - the weak and heartless and the weak and coward. I think you belong to the second category ."

"I am not weak and coward." He said.

He was a bit more pissed off than the last time yet trying so hard to put on that shitty fake calm face.

"Apologies, I was wrong you are coward and a hypocrite. " I smiled at him in a sarcastic manner.

He gave a shocked look as if ...

I hope you like it and support it.
