I pushed open the door and went inside. The woman at the front desk peered at me over her glasses.
"Name?"
"Katie Dawson"
"Take a seat please Katie Dawson, we'll call you soon"
I sighed, taking a seat on the uncomfortable green chair. I contemplated on reading one of the magazines that lay on the table however I passed up that opportunity; gossip magazines never interested me and I didn't feel the need to change that just because of my environment.
I sat there, quite awkwardly. There was no one else in the waiting area but me and the woman behind the desk was anything but friendly.
I took the slip of paper out of my pocket. My friend, Lauren, recommend me to go here. Dr. Frangipane's clinic.
I had been having problems recently. Stress and headaches and just a messy head in general. She told me that's who she went to when she had problems with her ex, so I thought I'd give it a try.Then, the door to the doctor's office opened and a woman, black hair and blue eyes, stepped out. She thanked whoever was in the room and walked out. I thought it was Dr. Frangipane until she left.
The woman behind the desk sat up "Go on in" she jerked her head towards the door.
I gulped. Why was I nervous?
I walked over to the door, smoothing my skirt out and I twisted the door open. I stepped in and closed it gently behind me.
My eyes widened at the sight of the doctor.
I thought the doctor was going to be a man first of all so I was shocked to see it was a woman. I was also shocked to see that she was stunning. Why was she a psychologist? Why wasn't she a model or something?!
"Hello" she smiled warmly at me "Would you like to sit down? You can stand there if you like, I don't really mind"
"No no no" I overused the word "I'll sit. Please. Thank you"
Katie, shut up.
I walked over to the chair and practically fell into it. My hands were shaking so I folded them in my lap.
I think she sensed my fear but she passed no comment on it "Well, hi!" she chuckled "My name is Doctor Ashley Frangipane, but you can just call me Ashley, if it helps make anything easier. As you know, I'm a clinical psychologist and I've a PhD in the field, hence "doctor." Basically, I'm here to listen to you and provide you with the most appropriate solution and to just be someone to talk to. It's good to have an environment in your life where you can just..." she wave her hands around "let go and not be judged"
I cleared my throat "Can I be honest?"
"I'd like that" she smiled warmly at me
"I'm scared. Right now"
"I sensed that. Do you know why?"
I shook my head before giving it some thought "Well, if I may be so bold for a moment, I'm a lesbian and you're pretty. So I guess that's why"
