âRoss?â
âSashaâ He said, surprised.
âWhat are you doing here?â
âIâm here to see my therapist?â
âWho? Mavis?â
âNo. Amberâ, he said to her.
âOkay. I donât know herâ.
âIs this where you have your therapy?â He asked.
âYeahâ, she said to him.
âOh I see. I heard theyâre very good at what they do? Is that right?â
âWell do you see any improvements in me?â
âYeahâ.
âThere. You have your answerâ.
âOkayâ.
âSo you want to start therapy?â
âYeah. Iâve realized that I need help with certain things in my lifeâ.
âMmm, thatâs a bold step to takeâ.
âYeah. I hope It works out for meâ.
âIâm sure it will. Just open up and let everything out and youâd be fineâ.
âOkay. Greatâ.
âYeah. I was just leaving so see you aroundâ.
âOkay byeâ.
âByeâ, she said and she left.
âSasha, this is the like the 4th time your phone has rang. Who are you ignoring?â Hanson asked her.
They were both at her house, eating.
âMy dadâ, she said, rolling her eyes.
âJust pick up. Maybe he wants to apologize to youâ.
âI donât need it. I donât want to talk to himâ.
âAt the end, heâs still your dad. Just pick up and hear him outâ.
âFine!â She exclaimed and she picked up the phone.
âSashaâ.
âYesâ, she said, rolling her eyes.
âIâve called you like several times nowâ.
âYeah. I know thatâ, she said and Hanson gave her a face and she looked away.
âOkay. I know youâre mad at me and I just wanted to apologize to you and to uhm.. LanâŠUh Jansenâ.
âReally? You didnât even try to keep his name in your head?â
âIâve got a lot of things in my head Sashaâ.
âBut you remember the names of all the ladies youâve been sleeping withâ, she said to him.
âSasha, thatâs disrespectfulâ, Hanson said giving her a look.
âIâm sorry I said thatâ, she said to her dad.
âItâs fine. I get that youâre upset and Iâll make it up to you. Why donât you bring uhm⊠your boyfriend to my house this evening for dinner and Iâll make it up to you twoâ, he said to her.
âHis name is Hanson and Iâd have to check in with him to see if heâs okay with a dinner at your house and if the time is fineâ.
âSure. Please get back to me so that I let my chef make preparations towards thatâ.
âOkayâ.
âBye. Love youâ, he said and he hanged up.
âThe way you talk to your dad is honestly not cool. I get that he annoys you a lot but heâs your dad and youâve got to respect him no matter whatâ.
âIâm not in the mood for lecturesâ.
âIâm not lecturing you. Iâm just letting you know that itâs not coolâ.
âOkay. I hear youâ, she said to him as she continued to eat her food.
âI heard you say something about dinnerâ.
âOh donât worry about it. We donât have to go thereâ.
âI want things to be cool between me and your dad, so yeah, weâll goâ.
âSo you want this man to embarrass you again?â
âIâm sure heâs going to apologize and do betterâ.
âHanson I donât really care if my dad doesnât like you. You donât have to be cool with him. Like I donât care. My mum likes you and thatâs fine by meâ.
âSasha, if weâre going to be in this for the long haul, I wouldnât want to be cool with half of your family. I donât want any grudges or tension at all. Itâs not healthy for relationshipsâ.
âFine. But if he comes at you again, I promise not to behaveâ, she said to him.
âLetâs just be hopeful that things go wellâ.
âSpeaking of families. When do I get to see yours?â
âGoing to see mine would mean that we would have to travel and spend the night at my family house. Would you want that?â
âRoad trip with you? Of course I would love that!â She said, smiling.
âWould you be cool sleeping there?â
âThere are beds right?â She asked.
âOf course!â He said, chuckling.
âSo why are you asking me that?â
âI just want to be sure. My place is not a palace like yours. Itâs more like a real homeâ, he said, teasing her.
âIâd be fine wherever you areâ, she said and he smiled.
âSo whenever youâre free, you let me know and Iâll inform them that weâre coming homeâ, he said.
âGreatâ, she said in excitement.
âAnd just so you know, Iâm a mamaâs boyâ, he said to her.
âWell, sheâs going to have to deal with me because youâre my boy nowâ, she said and he laughed.
âSure. Iâd sit and watchâ.
âDo you think sheâd love me?â
âYeah. She loves everyone so Iâm sure sheâd love you especially when she sees how much I adore youâ.
âAwwâ, she said, wiggling her brows.
âHey love birdsâ, Sally said, walking in.
âHi Sallyâ, Hanson said to her.
âCan I steal Hanson for some few secondsâ, she said to Sasha.
âHeâs eatingâ.
âHeâs done eating. His plate is empty or is he going to eat the plate?â
âKeep up with that attitude and youâll be the plate!â Sasha said to her.
âHey, you both should relax. Sally what is it?â
âCan I speak to you in private?â
âAnything you want to say to him, say it hereâ.
âHanson pleaseâ, Sally said to him.
âIâll be backâ, he said to Sasha and he walked out with Sally.
âWhatever you say to him, he would tell me. So youâre wasting your timeâ, Sasha exclaimed as they left.
Sasha was in the kitchen, cleaning up with dishes when Hanson walked in.
âWow, were you giving a sermon, youâve really kept longâ, she said to him.
âOh Sally was having boy troubles and I had to speak some sense into herâ.
âWhat was it?â
âYou know her current boyfriend?â
âWho? Mark?â.
âNoâ.
âDave?â
âNo thatâs her exâ.
âOh my God. I canât keep up with her and her boys. She changes them like I change my bedspreadâ!
âWell sheâs been doing that because sheâs trying to get over Daveâ.
âI see. So what help did she need?â
âShe wanted to know what she could do to make him want herâ.
âAnd she thought she could get help from youâ? Sasha laughed.
âI guess so but I gave her a different kind of helpâ.
âWhat?â
âTo love herselfâ.
âOh please sheâs literally obsessed with herselfâ.
âThatâs what you think but Sally is not happy. She doesnât see herself to be important or loved and so it leads her to act out and do everything possible to get peopleâs attentionâ.
âAnd how do you know that?â
âMy little chat with her and a few observations Iâve madeâ.
âHmmmâ.
âI really think you should start talking nicely to her and get her to open up to you. She actually needs you and Samanthaâ.
âSheâs always fighting with us and Samantha is always there for herâ.
âYeah I know but I think you should start talking to her more even if she tries to put up a front and be rude and all that. Just try to break throughâ.
âHmmm, that will be difficultâ.
âPray about it and pray for her too. Iâm sure itâll work out fineâ.
âHmm I hear you Mr therapistâ, she said and he laughed.
They talked for a while and then Hanson had to leave to take care of something.
The girls were at Rachelâs house having a little chat.
âI think I like Dominicâ, Rachel said to them.
âGirl please. Youâre trying to reboundâ, Alicia said to her.
âWhatever it is, I think I like himâ.
âItâs the rebound talkingâ, Alicia said to her.
âAnd whatâs wrong with that? Itâs going to get my mind off Archie and Iâll do anything to get him offâ.
âOne, youâll be hurting Dominic, two youâll be lying to yourself and things might go south. Just get over him the organic wayâ, Sasha said to her.
âSee whoâs talking. Didnât it take you like 6 or 7 boyfriends before you finally got over Philipâ, Rachel said to her.
âAnd how did I get over him at the end? Was it through the numerous boyfriends?â
âWhateverâ.
âRachel I know I canât understand how you feel because youâre carrying his baby and all but if you really want to get over him. Take it one step at a time and donât drag someoneâs son into it. It wouldnât work. Trust meâ, Sasha said to her.
âHmmm, I just think of him every freaking minute and each time he calls or I see him, I just want to jump on him and tell him that I want him backâ.
âThereâs nothing wrong with wanting him backâ, Lilian said to her and she stared at Lilian.
âI mean. I know he cheated and all but youâve been with him for like 5 to 6 years and a love that lasted long like that canât just disappear. Donât feel guilty about you wanting him back, itâs natural to want him back. And you wouldnât be stupid for taking him back. You know him better than we do, if you feel heâs changed or heâd be better and all and you want him back, no problem. If you feel that he might do it again or if you donât trust him, then whenever you feel like you want back, just remind yourself of the reasons you donât want him. Keep doing that and keeping being yourself and one day youâd be fineâ, Lilian said to her.
âThat actually makes senseâ, Alicia said to her.
âYeah. I think Lilian has a point. It all depends on youâ, Sasha said to her.
âHow did you get over Philip?â Rachel asked her.
âI honestly donât know how it happened but I guess therapy helped and I guess getting close to God too helped. I was always praying to God to help me to move on. As time went by, I started thinking more of myself and my future and I kept reminding myself that heâs gone and heâs in the past. And I had a plus to speed up the moving on journey, Hanson came in and everything was historyâ.
âSo maybe Dominic could be my Hansonâ.
âNo, no. Not that way. I didnât just throw all my feelings to Hanson. I was healing by myself and naturally, my feelings found itâs way to himâ.
âHmmm. I hear. Dominic invited me to church thoughâ.
âMmm, thatâs nice of him, itâs really nice to want someone close to you to also get close to God. But I think you should let him understand that you two are just friends and that youâre still getting over a long time relationship so that things would be clearâ, Lilian said to her.
âHmmâ.
âDoes he even know about your pregnancy?â Alicia asked.
âNo. I havenât told him yetâ.
âAnd you want to lead him on? Thatâll be unfairâ, Sasha said to her.
âSo youâre saying I should tell him?â
âNo, itâs not his business and itâs your choice if you want to make it his businessâ.
âHmmm this is just becoming so stressfulâ.
âI really think you should see my therapist. Sheâll help you with this. Sheâs the best, Iâm telling youâ.
âWe can see thatâ, Lilian said, smiling.
âMmm, Iâll try and see her this week or next weekâ.
âGreatâ.
âSo whatâs up with you and Derrick?â Lilian asked Alicia.
âOh, nothing. We just hanging outâ.
âAnd does your boyfriend know thatâ? Sasha asked.
âItâs not his business and besides I donât have a ring on my fingerâ, Alicia said and they all shook their head.
âWhatever it is, youâre doing with Derrick, it should better not cause a problem in the future and make things weird when we all meet upâ, Sasha said to her.
âI think you should say that to Rachel not me. Iâm just chillingâ Alicia said to her.
âIâm not doing anything with Dominic. So thatâs for youâ,
âWhateverâ, Alicia said, rolling her eyes.
Hanson and Sasha arrived at her dadâs house and they went to the dining area to meet him.
âYouâre hereâ, he said, smiling as he got up to hug Sasha and then he hugged Hanson too.
They all took their seat and they were served by the chef.
âHow are you Hanson?â He asked.
âIâm good. How about you?â
âIâm good tooâ.
âWe thank Godâ.
âYeah we do. How are you doing Sasha?â
âIâm fineâ, she said and he nodded.
âAbout last time, I really want to apologize for how I behaved. I was just trying to protect my daughter and in doing so, I said things that were not cool. Iâm sorryâ, he said to Hanson.
âItâs okay sir. Itâs fineâ.
âYou can call me Fredâ.
âOkay Fredâ, he said, smiling.
âAnd baby Iâm sorry for doing that. I promise to be on my best behavior todayâ, he said to Sasha and she forced a smile.
As they continued to eat, he spoke up again.
âSo howâs the restaurant going?â
âItâs going well and hopefully, everything will be set soonâ.
âWow. I see. Thatâs greatâ.
âDo you have a date set for it yet?â
âYeah. The 28th of this monthâ.
âWow! Thatâs just three weeks awayâ.
âYeahâ.
âThen I guess everything is almost ready?â
âYeahâ, he said, smiling.
âCongratulations once again and I canât wait to see how far it goesâ.
âThank you Fredâ.
âSasha howâs the company going?â
âItâs going well. Weâre looking to create a new branch soonâ.
âWow. Thatâs awesome. Iâm proud of you babyâ.
âThanks dadâ.
âIf you ever need any help or whatsoever. Iâm hereâ, he said to her.
âSureâ.
âAnd that goes for you too Hansonâ.
âThank you Fredâ.
âYouâre welcomeâ, he said, smiling.
As they continued to eat. A young lady ran in, excited.
âHey babyâ, she said to Fred as she pecked him.
âRelaxâ, Hanson said to Sasha who was glaring at her dad.
When the lady turned around. Sasha was surprised at who it was.
âYou!!!â She exclaimed.
âI canât believe thisâ, she said, walking out angrily and Hanson ran after her.
