Zuri's Point of View:

"So, it seems like Morgana is dressing extra slutty today huh?" Erica says and I roll my eyes.

Ever since Michael and I lunch, we have been texting and getting reconnected. While his issues with Morgana hasn't changed he decided to stay with her.

"Yeah, her 3 o'clock is coming in, and she just got to try and seduce him, its not right to take advantage of a man's pain." I say as I watch as she waits for Michael.

"Okay Sister Souljah, but let's be honest. You're bestfriend is a whole meal. A bitch like Morgana is greedy, she never lets starving bitches like me eat." Erica says rolling her eyes and I laughed.

"Erica, you are a mess I swear." I say as I couldn't wait to be done with my day. One more patient and I am Scot free.

"I know, so are we still on for tonight?" Erica says and I slap myself mentally.

"Damn Erica, I am sorry. I did forget. I'm not even dressed." I say looking down at my pencil skirt and blouse.

"So, we don't got to go to the club. We can just go out for drinks or something." Erica says and I sigh feeling a bit better.

"Is there enough room for three?" A familiar voice says behind me making me smirk.

I turn to see Michael and Morgana standing behind me and I scoff at Morgana.

"Well Michael, I don't know; I think Erica wanted it to be a girls...." I try to speak but Erica buts in.

"If you want to Mr. Jackson you can surely join us." Erica says smiling shyly.

"Oh great, I think Dr. Johnson owes me a drink?" He says as he slowly removes his shades.

"You know, that would be a good idea.  We can talk after hours Michael. I think I'll join you." Morgana says and my eyes widen.

"Now Morgana, you know that is unethical to be getting that close to a client. It will impair your judgement." I say raising a brow.

"If I am going out with some colleagues, I don't think it will be too impaired." Morgana says narrowing her eyes at me.

"Too bad, nobody wants you there, so no, you're not invited. Don't you have a 6 o'clock fleas appointment anyway?" Erica says making Michael and I hold our laughs in.

"Erica, don't you have a man...oh wait that would require some looks and a decent attitude. Michael and I will meet you guys after work." Morgana says ushering Michael in her office and I roll my eyes.

"Dr. Johnson, I am here." Ms. Davis says entering and I escort her to my office.

"Okay, so the nightmares have returned?" I asked as she cries into a tissue.

"Yes, they are worst. I don't know what to do." Ms. Davis says and I feel for the older woman.

"We may need to get you back on the meds to stabilize you while we dissect your dreams and pinpoint the source of them, okay?" I say as she nods her head and I write her prescription.

"I'm scared to face them Dr. Johnson. Last night's dream, I was being burned alive by Hamilton. I don't think I can face him at the trial." Ms. Davis says and I sigh heavily.

"Ms. Davis, it's going to be okay you have to take it one day at a time. Once you get a better night sleep, you will be okay." I say as she nods and take the prescription before exiting my office.

"Knock, knock..." Michael's voice fill my ears as I look up and smile.

He was always smiling and it was so infectious.
