Dr Bruce shuffled around the papers on his desk, seeking Candys file. He wanted to have as much fresh info on her as he possibly could before their next session. Something about her just lingered in him, he couldn't quite place it but he damn well knew he wanted to give it a shot at real therapy with her, not let her play mindgamesand avoid facing her issues. He chuckled to himself as he recalled his own therapist telling him almost the same thing when he was about to graduate high school. Those were crazy days indeed.
Raquel arrived fresh cup of coffee from Starbucks in her hand as she set everything down readying herself for the day. She had learned so much from the time she had been working with Dr Bruce, especially when they went out to lunch and had talks about all different kinds of caes along with other counsleors. She was amazed how many bizarre people there really were in the world. made her feel secretly relieved that most of her struggles were just how to find a good man lol She seemed to attract the psycho charmers who were animals in bed but abusers in life or the good guys who treated her like a princess but lacked any intensity and thrill. Aiyiyi she sighed one day a combo of the 2 would arrive and sweep her away. She could dream.
The office door lpened and in walked Candy. Raquel had to blink twice to make sure she wasn't seeing things. Candy was in a torn t-shirt baggy jeans and fliflops, hardly the ravishing dynamo who had appeared 2 weeks before. Candy nodded to Raquel as she took a seat to wait and complimented her on her hair and nails. * i love manis and pedis Candy said, looks like you know how to use those nails too* Candy raised her eyebrows as she said this and Raquel just kind of smiled and thanked her for the compliment. A buzzer sounded and Raquel told Candy she could go in. Raquel just shook her head wondering what to make of this girl.
Dr Bruce was sitting on the edge of his desk as he saw Candy enter the office. He was a lil taken aback at her appearance as well. Candy seemed to pick up on this and commented as she took a seat. * What's the matter Doc, a lil too homeless looking for ya?? Can't always be looking like a hooker right??* Dr Bruce took a breath and said, * far from a hooker Candy, you have no needlemarks and your skin is smooth, plus you dont smoke. Don't know about chewing gum though* He hoped such a offhand response would amuse Candy help lighten the mood for their session to begin.
8Look Doc Candy said a lil forcefully, I just felt like being a bum today. I do my lil barbie thing all the time like seeing all the guys wrapped around my finger but sometimes i just wanna dissapear and hide* He noticed her feet in the fliflopsas she swung her leg tapping her foot on the floor. Her toes were freshly painted, recent pedicure and they were bright red. He felt his mind go back to when he was 12 the nurse doing situps wearing purple pumps opentoed candy apple red toes. That was the beginning of it. Suddenly he camer back to focus and saw candy making a gesture. * So yea Doc I just have to shake things up sometimes. See if i get any attention when I DONT look all fashion sexy* *What do you think Doc?? Think I would still be one you would take out clubbing looking like this??*
Candy smiled and stretched her hands over her head eyes staying on target with Bruces. She made a lil smirk sought to g;lide her foot up his leg and made a lil meow sound * Even stray kitties need some attention don;'t they Doccy wocky?* Dr bruce pulled his leg away from hers and told her it didn't matter how she dressed, she was still the same person underneath. * Candy you are a quite interesting girl no doubt. I am sure most guys would want you to go clubbing no matter how you looked we need to focus on the inside though ok???* He sat down looking at her trying to discern what went running through her mind. He saw her let out a huge sigh and then sit up staring at him. Looked like she was ready to talk. What Dr Bruce didn't know was candy had caught on his looking at her feet just a lil too long, and it made a lil bell go off in her head, Mmhmmm THIS she thought to herself would be something shew could use down the line.
The chess match was moving along quite nicely. What lay ajhead in session three??/
