Marla

The cuts on my skin sting in the shower. I’m getting ready to go to the mental health centre. I don’t want another fine, or to be taken away. I didn’t think giving a blade to Sebastian during sex would be so incredibly hot. It lit every nerve ending in my body on fire. Afterwards, the way he held me close, was everything I was missing from my drops when I cut alone.

“Hurry. Do you want coffee?” he asks me as he turns on the tap to brush his teeth. The water turns ice cold in the shower, and I twist off the water.

“Happy to see me?” he asks as his eyes trail over my hardened nipples. I roll my eyes and towel off.

“Stay. I’m going to cover your initials.” He returns with a tube of cream and a bandage. I notice his chest has a similar bandage.

“Won’t you get a fine for not coming today?”

“No. I’ll be out to get your aunt and uncle. These are the directions you said?” he opens his phone and shows me what I told him last night.

I nod. “Why won’t you get a fine for not coming to the centre today?”

He sighs and his warm fingers grip my chin tightly. “Because I’m not registered or mandated to attend. I saw you one day when I was passing by and knew I wanted to meet you, so I pretended.”

I push out of his grip, hanging the towel on the hook. I make my way to the bedroom to get dressed. “You lied to me,” I say as he stands in the doorway. I fasten my bra on and slip a long sleeve shirt over my head before pulling on red panties, and hear his breath suck in.

“Technically, I never lied. I do, indeed have anger problems. Experts would probably love for me to be going if they knew.”

I grab my jeans and slide them on, fastening my belt. I slip past him again to brush out my hair, then add a layer of red lip stain and mascara. As I try to push past him again, he doesn’t move.

His hand circles my throat and he presses me against the wall. “I didn’t lie, Marla. I failed to elaborate, but I didn’t lie.”

“So, you pretended to be suffering like the rest of us just to be with me?” I look into his eyes. His grip on me doesn’t lessen as he presses his lips to mine when he pulls away his gaze intensely watches me.

“Yes, exactly that. I told you I was selfish, and I wanted you.” I digest his words. It’s crazy he went to these lengths to be near me.

On one hand, I should be mad that he lied, but technically, he didn’t even lie. I think back to our conversations in the early days, and he never said they mandated him like they did me. He just answered my questions and didn’t expand. Sebastian went to those lengths to see me, and hang out all day in the depressing centre just to get to know me.
