One time I ate a burrito that I insisted had bad meat and ended up pausing a session with a new client to…use the bathroom.
And theuse the bathroommoment was loud, took a while, and required me holding a trashcan while I sat…you get the picture.
Bethany appeared in my office again.
This time, holding a knife.
“What the hell is that?” I cried out.
“My knife. For protection. Want me to bring it into the apartment? Just in case?”
“Put the knife away, Bethany.”
“You sure?”
“I’m sure.”
She stabbed the air a few times. Nodded. Then walked away.
Maybe I should have called Joe…
“You brought someone?”Steven asked.
“I’m Bethany. We’ve met how many times?”
Steven didn’t even look at Bethany.
“Hell no,” Bethany whispered to me. She punched her right fist into the left palm of her hand. “Let me take him out right now.”
“Relax,” I whispered to Bethany. Then I said to Steven, “She’s going to help me get my stuff out of here.”
“That’s why you’re here?” Steven asked.
“What did you think I was doing here?”
Steven smirked. “Figured you’d be feel lonely by now.”
I laughed. “And you’re going to take care of me? You’re going to get hard?”
Bethany snorted.
“You can stay out there,” Steven said to her.
“No,” I said. “She needs to be with me.”
“I’ll stand right inside,” Bethany said. “And wait for Anna to tell me what to carry.”
“This is nonsense,” Steven said. He leaned toward me. “Can we talk? Privately?”
“What is there to talk about, Steven?”
“Anna.”
I rolled my eyes and walked through the apartment.
I went right to the bedroom door.
Just like I used to do all the time.
