บท 5: Meeting Halfway I
Kyrie
What do you do when the person you care the most about- family aside- is haunted by her memories? When the help she needs, she is too stubborn to seek? When all you can do to ease her is offer temporary reprieve? You go all in even though you know that sooner or later she’ll find a solution because dependence is not in her DNA. Watching aria sleep calmed me down a bit and I made up my mind not to nag her about seeking help because though I can sympathize, my empathy will always be off and yes she is old enough to know how to deal with how to move from her nightmares. I put her to bed and lay beside her watching her sleep. I know it was creepy as fuck doing so but I was just glad she wasn’t restless.
I was serving the breakfast when Ari sat, morning love I greeted kissing her forehead. I served her not expecting a reply. Ari was a like an outdated laptop in the morning, especially if she was up at what she termed as ungodly hour, she needed a long time to boot. Sipping my coffee, I went through my mails on my phone waiting for her to be fully up. I am an IT expert working for a private company and some freelancing too; there some times that business becomes overwhelming especially since I have to juggle too independent jobs. I love my job but recently I have been considering starting my own business, my company pays well and I have a fantastic boss but I think I’m ready to be my own business. I’m just waiting for the capital I’m saving to be sufficient for start up and precautionary motives. So far so good and with the economy being stable I know I will be ready sooner than planned. Seeing that Ari wasn’t done yet, I put my dishes in the sink and went to take a shower.
Walking back into the sitting room after my shower, I see that Aria done with her breakfast and I grab her dishes. Kissing my cheek she murmurs thanks hun taking a sip of her second cup of coffee. Smiling I do the dishes and then plop beside her. I’m sorry about nagging you about your nightmares I start looking at her, lifting her head she opens her mouth to say something but I put my finger on her lips shushing her. Lemme finish I tell her removing my finger from her lips and cupping her face.
I worry about you but that doesn’t mean I should overlook your feelings baby, I’m sorry for being overbearing and I promise to stop all my macho bullshit but I need you to meet me halfway please so I can preserve my sanity. You are an adult even though most often than not I overlook that, I know you need time to deal with your nightmares and I want you to take all the time you need, as long as you require to work out all this mess. I want your word though that no more half truths in the name of protecting me, you need me and I’ll be there. Don’t make decisions for me, call or text me and I’m all yours. So I’ll spend the weekend hanging out like we normally do but I won’t stay longer unless you want me. Looking into her eyes for a while longer, I dropped my hand, I could she was wide awake now. Ari was blinking at me like a fish out of water, I chuckled and leaned down to kiss her cheek miscalculating and kissing her too close to her lips. Lifting my head, her eyes were wide and a pink flush spreading through her face. It was an accident but I acted like nothing happened. She looked at a place past my shoulder gathering herself and smiled looking at me replying thanks Kay, I promise to always reach out when it becomes too bad. She crawled on my lap and hugged me; I wrapped my arms around her giving her the comfort she needed savoring the scent that’s uniquely her- jasmine and vanilla. We stayed like that for quite some time before she removed her head from nape, I actually do still need you, this one was among my bad ones please stay the week she said looking at everywhere but me. I tilted her face to me, making her look at me of course baby girl. She gave me a weak smile and left my lap, I’m going to take a shower, she said walking away. Watching her walk away with a huge smile on my face, I grabbed my laptop to do some work.
