Strings Attached (On-going)

30. A TALK

"That's sexy"

"Come again?"

"What you did, it's sexy"

"Rolling my eyes?"

"Uhuh, and you're sexy"

"Well, that is a compliment, so thanks"

"You're welcome"

How on this god-damned earth did I get myself stuck together with such a person!!

It had been a while since I had sex, but I wouldn't for even a million dollars sleep with this gothic looking pervert of a man.

"You know what intrigues me about a woman?" He asked

"Bring it on", I sighed

"Cute breasts, you know... Not too small, not too big, it's a real turn on, I promise" my eyes widened, this guy should be crazy, "drives me nuts, and it's exactly what I have here" I grinned.

"Keep it in your pants, man, if your girlfriend abandoned you, kindly go and apologize and transfer your fantasies onto her, not a stranger you picked up less than three minutes ago........I could be a ghost, you know"

"That's even hotter!"

No no, this guy was crazy. I couldn't have been happier when I checked the map and realized we were just two minutes away from Dr.Tonia's home.

I looked out the window throughout the rest of the drive. The car finally came to a stop, I checked the map to see we had arrived. I dug into my purse and paid the driver, "thank you, sweetheart, could I have your contact, maybe you could show me what you have underneath this beautiful black dress" he said

"Have fun in hades, you viper... toodles!!", and then I shut the door at his amused face, causing a loud thud.

Dr Tonia descended the stairs to meet me. " Lisa"

"Doc, I'm so sorry to disturb you"

"come on, don't worry, I'm free, no biggie"

"Wow, never saw you as a blue girl", I said when we entered her house, in which noticed she had blue almost everywhere. Her walls, her couches, her carpet, her curtains, mention any shade of blue....it was right there.

"Well, it's my husband's favourite...I don't have a favorite color, so I just decided I go with his", she smiled

"That's nice"

She offered me a drink and asked if I would like a house tour. I was too tired to go on a tour so I declined, politely. So she asked me to follow her to her office just around the corner.

"Hey mom, Cassie and I are going to the game center..... already told you....this morning??" A young girl of about fifteen called from atop the stairs

"Uh yeah yeah, wait are you walking?"

"No no, she'll come with her brother to pick me up"

"That boy, huh??"

"Mommmmm!!! Not today" she groaned

"Just make sure you're home before what?"

"6:30" she said between her teeth

"Otherwise you get get grounded again"

"But I've been a captive up until last night!"

Her mom laughed

"come home on time then..... Oh, Lisa, here's my daughter, Christine, baby, meet Lisa"

"Nice to meet you Lisa..", we heard a car's horn blow, " wish I could talk all day with you and ask how come you're so pretty but I gotta run"

I laughed, " you're very pretty as well Christine", she was already out the door.

"Oh! Teenagers!", Dr Tonia sighed

"I know right".

We walked into her cozy office, just like her office at her workplace. Before she could even think of offering me a seat, I slammed myself in her large couch, resting my purse beside me.

"How have you been?.. It's been weeks"

"Yeah, I've been good. I'm coming from Oscar's moms funeral though"

"Oscar's mom's funeral?"

"Yup", so I told her all about Oscar's mom, when she got back to LA and what happened to her. She was really touched and sad, hearing the story.

"I can only imagine what he's going through right now"

I nodded, agreeably. " But there's fire.... Dave went with me to the funeral and I made on big mistake at a point.........I left the tho guys together"

"Dave and Oscar"

"Yup, and I guess conversations led to a revelation that, Oscar and I had a thing.....he says Oscar even threatened him"

"that"

I told him all that had happened in the car with Dave and how I got mad and left the car.

"So now you've admitted to Dave that you've slept with Oscar"

I nodded

"But he doesn't know anything about your past with Oscar?"

I shook my head.

"Lisa..... Do you still love Oscar?"

"I never stopped loving him "

She took a deep breath and relaxed in her seat, "why don't you talk to Dave, since you're still in a relationship with him, you need to let him know"

"I guess I'm even breaking up with him"

"Because of Oscar?"

"Nigga was rude to me, okay?"

"Okay, now relax..Lisa, relationships cannot thrive with endless secrets, truth hurts, but a lie breaks the hearts and kills the soul when the truth finally surfaces...he was rude because he was angry and angry because of the revelation he had.....now know that I'm on your side but.."

"We weren't together at the time, technically, he had just ran away to be with his girl and child I knew nothing about, so first he hides them from me and then he goes further to ditch me for for them, for days, and now he gets mad because I slept with someone while he was away???
Doesn't make any sense Doc"

She sighed, "And so you don't feel the need to get even with him, I get you, completely, but he getting angry, shows how much he cares about you......he just needed you to be frank with him"

"Well"

" Now this is really up to you honey, really, think about this well, I think it's best that you get even with Dave, deal with Oscar later...."

So I decided, I was going to get some good sleep, and then really think this through, this was a mess and I needed to fix it.
