âHey Bax, you alright big guy? I get my new roommate tonight.â I wiggle my fingers at him as I sit down.
Two blinks. Heâs not okay. Thatâs strange. Heâs been happier lately. Everyone has. Well, as happy as you can be in an asylum.
The thing is, things have been too normal. Even the staff members that hate us are behaving, and thatâs what worries me. We could say itâs because weâre all on our best behavior, but I'm not so sure I believe that.
âWhatâs the matter? Did something happen? Has someone said or done something to you?â I crack my neck, trying to remind myself that I have to stay calm, that I need to.
Two blinks. Real helpful. Okay, clearly Iâm asking the wrong questions here.
âDid something happen in your session with Miller?â Finally, a blink. Although, Iâm not sure thatâs a good thing. I have no idea what could have been said between these two.
âDoes he know about what we did?â I arch my brows a couple of times before shooting him a coy smile.
His eyes crinkle around the edge before he slowly blinks twice. I mean, at least he doesn't think Miller knows, but it isnât as though we cleaned up after ourselves all that thoroughly.
âIs it about us though?â Please give me two blinks. I really donât want to deal with any of that emotional shit right now. Iâm still getting used to feeling it, and I don't want to have to express myself, especially while weâre being watched by the staff.
Of course, he has to give me one blink. Thatâs just fan-fucking-tastic. How am I supposed to guess what the problem is when I donât want to?
âWhat about us? Weâre fine. Iâm yours, youâre mine. Nothing else to talk about.â I clear my throat before resisting the urge to look away. It wouldnât be fair to him, though.
Two blinks. Ohh, itâs like that, is it? We fuck once and now heâs suddenly decided we donât belong to each other? What the fuck did he and Miller talk about?
âRight. Fair enough. Well, I donât think I want to try and guess anymore, so Iâm going to go. Iâll see you later.â I try to keep my voice monotone, but Iâm not pulling it off. It catches in my front, and my top lip curls ever so slightly. I donât know if Iâm hurt or angry. Maybe itâs safe to say that Iâm feeling both.
âI donât want to own you.â It comes out strangled, muffled, contained by that tortuous mask he still has to wear.
He doesnât talk with it on, which means that this is important enough for him to want to. Even if his words havenât helped me in the slightest.
âYou canât own a person, Bax. All Iâm saying is that I donât need anyone else. So stop being a fucking martyr.â My hand hits the table and all eyes turn to me. Itâs the first outburst Iâve done in weeks. Guess that explains the mixture of curious and shocked looks that Iâm getting.
