Once the date with Laura ended, I had another date, this time with a little girl.
Knock Knock
- Come in
A little girl with braids and a tall man enter the room. They take their place on the chairs facing my desk.
- Hello, I greeted them warmly.
- Hello, they answered me
- She's a little shy around strangers, the man explained to me
I notice the little girl's outstretched hands.
- I understand, so you are his brother? I asked.
- No, I'm his uncle, he corrects me in a soft voice.
- Well, I replied before turning to the little girl, What's your name?
She shyly hides in the arms of her uncle who gently releases a few pheromones to calm her.
- Sorry for releasing pheromones without authorization, he apologizes.
- Don't worry, I replied, it won't kill me.
He smiled, amused by my words.
- I read that thanks to pheromones, she can decipher emotions so that's probably what's causing her anxiety
- Yes, that's right, confirmed the uncle.
- Do you like to draw? I asked the little girl.
She doesn't respond, still hidden in her uncle's arms.
- I think we should reschedule a few sessions. When are you available ?
I check my calendar.
-Is Monday evening next week suitable for you? I ask.
I don't like to make appointments in the evening but for the sake of this I will do it.
- Sorry, it's difficult for me to come here after work. It takes me three hours to get to the clinic..., he explains.
Three hours ?! It is indeed a long journey.
- I could come to your house if that suits you better, I suggested.
- Thank you, that would suit me. Would Monday afternoon at 4:30 suit you?, he asks me
- Yes perfectly. See you next week, I said with a smile.
They get up and say goodbye to me before leaving.
(670: He is the protagonist)
(055: Oh good?)
(670 whisper at the end: She is also the villain's niece)
(055: Perfect, I'll try to make friends with them)
I sigh with relief. Fortunately, I won't see Shen Xing anytime soon.
After cleaning up my desk, I leave the room. I take the stairs to the first floor and leave the clinic.
Finally, my work day is over, I thought, taking a deep breath.
I walk to my car and quickly get in.
I start the engine and leave. Several minutes later, I am in front of my apartment. I park the car and get out.
I grab my keys, unlock the door and walk in, closing it behind me.
I put the keys on the kitchen table, then I grab a bag of chips and sit on the couch.
I decide to watch a sad movie.
During the film, the protagonist tries to rebuild his life despite his past mistakes and the trials he has gone through.
Unfortunately, his past keeps catching up with him and no one seems to want to help him move forward.
What he is going through is so unfair. The film is long, three hours and thirty minutes, with a sequel lasting two hours and thirty minutes.
At the end of the film, a few tears ran down my cheeks.
I wipe them quickly. Crying is so strange. Usually the system to show what they feel just changed color.
Humans are so complex.
Beep beep
I recognize the ringtone of my phone. Who could call me at this time?
The name that appears is Zhen Xi, my friend. I pick up immediately.
- I think I'm a little drunk. Could you come pick me up?
I hear laughter on the line and a lot of noise.
- Give me the address and I'll come, I replied.
When he gives me the address, I hang up, put on my coat and shoes, grab my car keys and go out.
Once outside, I get in my car and leave.
The city lights are dazzling. They illuminate the landscape with their brilliance.
