~Part 5~
~Dr Annabelle~
I stepped outside along with Valentina on my side who appeared to be deep in thoughts. The young girl was overthinking something she could not change, not right away.
"The second you stub your toe and fall on your face, I'm gonna be on the ground with you...laughing" I joked, at attempt to lighten her somber mood.
She gasped dramatically at my words, letting out a small giggle then continued to give me an eye,
"You find my pain funny doctor Annabelle?" The young girl asked jokingly.
"I don't know, I am yet to decide. I might need to see you in pain so I can decide " I pretended to think about it then nodded my head.
Valentina placed her palm on top of her heart making a hurt expression then tapped my arm. I knew it was meant to be a slap on the arm from her part.
"Ouch. I am writing down sadism on top of the list of all your therapy notes" I rubbed my arm feigning hurt. She laughed walking faster.
"I hope you know your way" I said walking the other way and she ran back to catch up with me.
We finally reached our destination, an outside cafeteria where patients and employees got food. A lot of the people eating on the tables were mostly employees this time.
I instructed Valentina to sit while I went and bought our food. Most of the meals saved there were crappy so I only got her a burger and fries and a cola. I got myself a bottle of mineral water then went back to our table. I set the food down.
"This is healthy" Valentina commented, her voice laced with sarcasm.
"This is the best you will get. Their food tastes like cat food" I whispered, avoiding to make an enermy out of the kitchen crew.
"Doctor Annabelle, how the fuck do you know what cat food taste like?" Valentina, who was already munching down on her fries, amusedly asked.
"I don't want to talk about it. Eat your food"
The girl took the burger stuffing her face without a care in the world. I grimaced at the sight of BBQ sauce that got on her fingers and then...
She licked her fingers!!!
"The look on your face is hilarious" she laughed and i just calculated how many unsanitary rules she just broke as she took another bite, sauce getting on her cheeks
Oh my god
"So tell me about this cat food story" she asked after swallowing
At least
I decided to distract her with my trauma
"I was 9 years old at that time and my grandmother hired a new maid to look after me while she goes to work. She knew i did not like eating anything besides her cooking but i understood the pressure. The maid's food was terrible so i stopped eating altogether.
My grandmother found out and asked me why and i told her that the maid's food was terrible i would rather eat our cat's food
My grandmother said i insulted the maid and to teach me a lesson she made me eat cat food......to answer her question i told her the cat food was so much better than the garbage the maid called food"
When I stopped talking she was laughing so hard with tears in her eyes clutching her stomach while she tried hard to calm down but it just made her laugh more
"It's not funny. You can't laugh at my bad memories" she nodded and smacked her lips together but busted out laughing falling on the concrete
I rolled my eyes and watched her laugh. It was ugly thats what told me she was really laughing. She was not even trying to be cute about it and i decided i would tell her any of my childhood embarrassing stories if it meant seeing her so carefree
