A Therapeutic Relationship, Chapter Two

... guess.

Kim: Yeah, no kidding.

Peter: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to turn you down.

Kim: No, it’s fine. I understand.

Kim: Do you want to though?

Kim: Turn me down, I mean.

Peter: No, I don’t.

Kim: You were gone for a while. May I ask what you were doing?

Peter let out a heavy sigh. Telling each other about their sexual experiences was nothing new to them, but this time felt different.

Peter: We were having sex.

Kim: How was it?

Peter: It was the best we’ve ever had between us actually.

Kim: Damn, that sounds hot.

Kim: What made this time different though?

Peter: Honestly, I think it was because I couldn’t stop thinking about you.

A silence followed that challenged Peter’s patience and comfort, giving him time to ask himself what he wanted from this, what he was expecting, and what he should expect. He didn’t like the answers to any of those questions.

Kim: Where are you now?

Peter: In the bathroom. I don’t want her to know I’m talking to you.

Peter: I don’t mean to keep it a secret. It’s just, you caught me off guard and I don’t know how she’s gonna react to it.

Kim: It’s okay, I get it.

Kim: You should go talk to her though. You don’t have to tell her about us if you don’t want to. I just don’t want to get you in trouble with her.

Peter: Yeah, you’re probably right.

Kim: Don’t lose my number though.

Peter: I won’t.

Kim: Promise?

Peter: Promise.

Peter stood up, flushed the toilet, pretended to wash ...

... his hands, and brought his phone with him as he made his way back down the hall, only to realize it was all a waste of effort. The woman in his bed had rolled over on her side and fallen asleep, her back turned to him. He approached the edge of the bed, placed his phone on the nightstand, and pulled the covers over her naked body; not to keep her warm, but to make sure she really was asleep. She stirred a little, but she didn’t roll over or speak.

He climbed into bed himself, pulling the covers over his waist before grabbing his phone.

Peter: She’s asleep.

Kim: Aww, you wore her out.

Peter: Yeah, I guess I did.

Kim: How long have you two been together?

Peter: Five weeks now, I think.

Kim: Wow. Personal record, huh?

Kim: Do you think it’s gonna go anywhere?

Peter: No, I doubt it. She’s fun and all, but it’s just sex.

Kim: And what if you and I ever hooked up? Would that be just sex?

Peter: That’s different.

Kim: How so?

Peter: Because we have history.

Kim: We do, don’t we?

Peter: Yeah.

Peter: Can I ask you something?

Kim: Sure, go for it.

Peter: What made you want to get back in touch with me after all this time?

Kim: Life, shitty relationships, a longing for the good old days.

Kim: You name it.

Peter: And what made you want to send that picture?

Kim: I wanted to see how you would react.

Kim: I’ve been thinking about you for a while now, what could’ve been and all that.

Peter: So when you said you just ...
