My patient. ~Irwin~ My therapist Sequel

11. Dresses, dresses everywhere.

Ashton

I hurry around my apartment and grab my keys and leave quickly.

I'm late and its my first day at my job, I hope theres no patient there waiting for me.

Lia is not working today, she is spending the day with Evie finding a dress. I'm sure Lia looks good in absolutely anything, thinking about her just makes me feel butterflies.

She has been acting a little weird since I told her I got my job back but in a different building.

I'll just buy her some flowers, maybe she is just feeling stressed.

I walk into the warm building and look over at the receptionist. He winks at me making me feel a bit of edge.

I hurry over to the lift trying not to make anymore eye contact and press the number 7 and sigh. The doors go to close but a hand is put in between making them slid back open.

A young girl walks in, brown hair up in a pony tail and light piercing blue eyes.

She smiles at me and presses the button 7 again. We stand in silence the whole way and the lift doors slide open again, We both walk out at the same time and I feel like she is following me .

''Are you Dr.Ashton?'' Her voice is soft.

''I am.'' I turn looking at her.

''Oh right, I didnt recognize you. I have an appointment with you.'' She smiles from ear to ear.

''Oh right! yes.'' I push open my office door, its all nice and tidy as I did come in the other day to add all of my cozy touches.''Come in, you'll have to forgive me I'm late.'' I say looking at the girl who walks past me.

''Its fine, I'm usually late myself.'' She plops down in the arm chair in front of mine and smiles. I leave my things on the desk and sit in front of her.

''Whats your name?'' I ask looking at her.

''Emilia, but my friends call me Lia.'' She smiles looking at me and it takes me back to the first day I met Lia, she didnt say the exact same thing but she wanted me to call her Lia and I'm hoping she doesnt want me to call her Lia.

''Okay so what brings you here?'' I smile.

''I only came for my bestfriend.'' She sighs. ''She think I need help because I'm depressed.'' She scoffs.

''Do you know why you are depressed?'' I ask her.

She just looks down at her thighs and sighs. ''Because of my boyfriend.'' She looks at me.

''Do you want to talk about it?'' I suggest.

''I dont want to sound pathetic.'' She stares at me, her eyes looking all glossy.

''You wont sound pathetic, millions of people have troubles and why not tell a stranger?'' I smile trying to comfort the girl.

''I guess you are right.'' She half smiles. ''Well he just cheats on me all the time or hurts me mentally or something and when I'm about to leave him he always does something that makes me stay.'' She sighs.

''Okay.'' I nod. ''Have you tried doing the same things he does?'' I ask.

''No, I'm too scared to do that.'' She burries her face in her hands.

''Maybe if you tried, he would notice and feel how you feel.'' I tell her and she just nods.

Amelia

I have been walking around for four hours and she has been trying on dresses non stop. There is literally dresses everywhere and she has tried on loads and I just want to choose for her and that would be it, finito! Over!

"I'll be right back, I think I've found the one." She squeals.

She has said that like 1000 times and I just want to crawl into a ball and die but I want to get this over and done with.

I nod plopping myself down on a chair in front of a mirror and I notice a really beautiful navy blue dress.

I stand up walking over to it and one of the staff eyes me.

"Hi, I'd like to try that dress on." I point to the dress.

"Yeah of course." She nods. "Just follow me." She gestures to follow her and walks into a changing room.
"Just wait here while I get the dress, you can undress to get changed if you like." She suggest walking out.

I undress grabbing a dressing gown and sigh waiting for the woman to come back in. A few minutes pass and she comes back in with the dress smiling.

"Here we are." She hands it and takes it off the hanger. "I think this will look really nice on you." She smiles.

"I'm hoping." I say. "Its going to be my bridesmaid dress." I tell her slipping the dress over my head.

She zips me up and pulls it the bottom making it fall back. I look at myself in the room and smile.

"You look stunning." She tell me.

"Its perfect." I nod. "Just let me find the bride and show her." I walk out the dressing room and walk out to where I was before and hear Evelyn talking to one of the staff members.

"I think this is the one." She says.

I walk over to her and smile looking at her in the mirror.

"Amelia." She smiles. "You look beautiful." She compliments raising her brow. "I'm still not sure about the dress, maybe we can come back next week." She says turning around and eyeing me.

"Yeah, I'll leave this here then." I smile.

"Yeah thats for the best, maybe you want something more plain." She suggests and I smile.

"I'm going to get changed." I say. "I'll see you back at the car." I hurry to the dressing room.

I think she is jealous of how I look, and thats great!

"She is marrying my best friend." I groan telling the woman who unzips me. "And she hates me and She knows I love him so she is marrying him just to make me jealous, but he loves her so he is marrying her." I leave out the part about cheating.

"Well I think you will look a hundred times more beautiful." She smiles. I quickly get changed and ask the staff how much it is.

"Well I spoke to the manager and she told me it costs £450 but I can get you a discount to £250."

"Thats great!" I squeal pulling out my purse. "Thank you so much." I hug her in excitment.

...

I wait in the car for Evelyn and sigh turning the music up. A few seconds later she comes out of the shop with the wedding dress she tried on when we first walked into the shop.

I get out f the car frowning and sigh going to open the boot to let her put the dress in.

"I see you got that one." I smile. "You will look great." I pull open the boot.

"And I see you bought that dress when I told you that you needed a more plain one." She snaps at me quickly while putting the dress in.

"I'll wear what I like, thank you very much." I raise my brow.

"Its my wedding." She tells me.

"I dont give a shit." I snap. "Its my best friends wedding too." I tell her.

"I'd watch it if I were you, cause I can easily remove you from the wedding." She threats.

"I'd like to that happen." I snort looking at her.

"Just drive me home will you and this day with you can end." She whines getting in my car.

"Well I dont know if I want to drive a fake whiney bitch home." I smirk.

"I'll phone Michael if you dont." She warns.

"Psh Go ahead." I laugh getting int the car.
