Capítulo 4: Chapter Four
6:30am.
My alarm went off.
Who sleeps this late in college?
"I've got a class in like 30 minutes" Clara said, scattering the whole place, "got it!" She uttered. "Don't you have any classes soon?" She asked.
"Yeah I have, around 9", I replied. "Well you need to get up and get ready" she said applying make up. "I'll see you later", she continued as she shut the door and left for class.
I showered almost immediately when she left,putting on a towel, I searched around for my cosmetics, you know, body cream and all before I heard a knock on my door.
I walked to the door and opened it, "did you forget anything?" I uttered.
Dear lord!
It wasn't Clara, it was him. Standing in front of me, wearing a red hoodie with a pair of cargo pants, he stared at me for a while as I stood without uttering a word.
"Is Clara in?" He asked, letting himself in.
I didn't respond. "She told me to get her laptop charger" he said, searching Clara's space in the room. "Found it!" He uttered.
Why aren't you saying anything Stella? You dumb fuck!
I watched him walk back to the door, "right" I said.
Shit!
He smiled. "It was better when you didn't say anything, I'll be going now" he said, walking away. "Bye" I yelled.
He walked away with a smile on his face.
I slammed the door shut, got dressed and left for class.
"We have a project due next week", the person sitting close to me said. "Next week?" I asked, surprised that I forgot about the article I was meant to turn in. "Yeah, next week, haven't you written yours?" She asked. "Not yet" I replied.
"Well you need to do it and turn it in real quick, this professor really hates late submission" she said. "I will, thanks for reminding me" I replied as she left.
I walked down the hallway alone until I got to the exit. I brought out my phone to call one of my moms.
I walked out to the school surroundings
"Hey! Mom!" I said while on the call. "Hey sweety, how are you?" She replied. "I'm alright, what about you?" I asked. "I'm good, school?" She said. "School's good" I replied.
"Has Laura told you? Your uncle Ryan is coming to pick you up" she uttered. "Pick me up? Why?" I replied. "Yeah, you know, mid terms" she replied.
"No, no, no, mom, I'm okay, I can take care of myself, I can come home all by myself, I don't want uncle Ryan coming to pick me and by the way, mid term is really not that close" I said.
"Are you sure you can come home by yourself?" She asked. "Of course mom" I replied. "Alright then, if you need anything and I mean anything, don't hesitate to call us okay? And if you need someone to talk to, you know, apart from your friends, we are here for you" she said.
My moms are the best.
"Yes I know mom, I've got to go, bye,love you" I said as I walked towards August. "Love you more honey" she replied then cut the line.
"Hey!" I said. August looked not too excited. "What's up?" I said. "Hey Stella" he replied. "What happened?" I asked.
"Nothing actually, I have this thing, I mean assignment I'm meant to turn in tomorrow and I still haven't done it" he replied.
"Is it something I can help with?" I asked. "Not if you want to get therapy" he replied. "You have to counsel someone?" I asked. "Yeah, will you help me? I won't ask too many questions or go too deep, I promise" he replied. "Yeah sure, let's do it" I responded.
At least, he won't be sad anymore.
I and August walked to his dorm. He opened the door and I entered the room before him. "Take a seat, let me get my pen and paper" he said excitedly. "Your room looks comfy, whose bed is this?" I asked bouncing on the bed softly.
"Axel's" he replied.
Holy mother of Jesus.
"I'm sitting on his bed?" I said, almost panicking. "It's alright, he doesn't bite, just sit there while I get my work things" he replied.
August sat on a chair in front of me and started the session. "Your name?" He asked. "Stella Chambers" I replied. "Chambers" he said, writing it down on his paper. "So Stella, how are you today? How is the weather?" He asked.
"Well I'm okay, I'm doing great. Oh and the weather is fine" I replied. "Good to know, do you have any problems you'd like to share with me?" He asked.
Everyone had problems. I had problems.
"Not really" I replied.
"So since there aren't many things interesting about you, tell me about your parents" he said.
"You mean my moms?" I asked.
"Yeah, tell me about them" he replied. "Well my moms are nice, Laura cares about everyone a lot, sometimes its chocking but its also really cool, Anna cares mostly about my brother, Chris, she spends all her time with him, my moms are cool and really nice" I replied.
"What do they do for a living?" He asked.
"Laura works at a magazine company while Anna is a caterer, she makes the most delicious meals" I replied.
"What company does laura work?" He questioned.
"Flaunt" I replied.
"Shit! Your mom works for flaunt, that's crazy" he replied. "So, Stella, do you love yourself?" He asked.
Do I love myself?
"Of course I do" I replied. "Not on the surface Stella, do you really love yourself?" He asked again.
"Yes" I replied. "Anything bad about your past? Something you want to let out or let go" he asked.
I have so much I want to let out.
"Uhm-" Axel cut me off by entering into the room. "What are you doing here?" He asked walking towards his bed. "August said its okay for me to sit here" I uttered.
"I'm counseling her" August replied him. Axel stared at us for a while before removing his red hoodie, letting his perfectly structured body glitter through my eyes.
I couldn't help but stare.
"I'm not interrupting, continue" Axel said. "I get it, he turns me on sometimes" August whispered to me.
He turns me on too. Damn.
"What?" I replied August, trying to stop watching Axel change his outfit.
Axel didn't utter a word, he laid on August's bed and listened to music, not interrupting or distracting I and August session.
"Back to what we were saying, I've written out a few points I could use for my assignment, do you still want to talk or do you want to leave now that Axel is here" August said.
I want to stay. I want to freaking stay.
"I think I'll leave, I got a few unfinished assignments I'd like to complete" I said, standing up and adjusting my body before walking towards the door.
"Alright then, I'll see you around" August said.
"Bye" I replied before opening and shutting the door behind me.
I exhaled heavily then smiled.
Why in the world was I smiling?
I walked away. Feeling satisfied although I didn't know why I was satisfied.
