Chloe
Wednesday
I was back.
Back in Dr. Rogers office. But this time I was not alone. I was with James for our joint therapy session. I had stayed in the city at James apartment for the last two days after our encounter at Saks.
I felt manipulated, however, by James. I was not sure what it was that caused me to stay. I thought it was the sex but something was not right how he took over my mind and body the way he did.
I was trying to come up with ways or excuses to leave. Just so I could have some type of space away from him. Yet, nothing I said worked. He even asked me if I was really trying to use anything to leave him. I had to downplay it and blame it on school but I knew better than that. My mind went back to the conversation I had with Dr Rogers two days ago. I just could not get the words out to tell James I wanted time away from him and his controlling ways
"Chloe? Are you with us?" Dr Rogers said causing me to look up at both him and James looking at me with curious eyes
"I'm sorry what did you say?" I questioned back at him
"I asked how are you today?"
"Oh I'm doing pretty good" I said with a forced smile at the end. Dr. Rogers caught my eyes I was trying to avoid from looking at him
"James, how have you been?" Dr. Rogers asked him
James smiled wide, "I've never been better"
"Really? Let's talk about that. What makes you feel better?"
"Chloe" James said looking down at me with his hooded eyes
"What about Chloe makes you feel better?" Dr. Rogers asked
"She has been with me for the last two days. We been working on our issues. But her being with me all the time has made me feel better"
"I see. Chloe , how does that make you feel hearing James express his feelings about you being with him?"
"I don't know" I said honestly
"What part of that makes you so unsure?" Dr Rogers asked
"Everything."
"Everything? What about James expressing his feeling about being with you makes you unsure? Does it make you uncomfortable?"
"Yes I'm uncomfortable with his strong feeling towards me"
"Why?" James asked looking at me "Your feelings changed for me or something?"
"No, it's just your too much for me and I sometimes need space" I said looking at Dr Rogers
"You need space? I've given you space for a couple of weeks now"
"James, although you probably think you have given her much needed space, people in relationships often need space all the time. Giving space to your partner gives them time to themselves which is a healthy part of being in a relationship" Dr Rogers said. I felt he was telling James to be less controlling without saying it. He was telling him my feeling we discussed earlier this week without saying it
"I still don't get it" James said a bit angry
"What part of what I just said sounds confusing to you?"
