My patient. ~Irwin~ My therapist Sequel

3. Already fighting.

I gulp looking down at the phone. "No well yes. I mean no, yeah. I.. It was vibrating and I picked it up to see who it was and I read what I could see." I admit.

"So you did." She groans putting the white towel on the arm chair.

"I'm sorry." I groan plopping back down on the couch. ''I just, I've been so anxious lately and I havent helped any patients and I just...'' I cover my face with my hands.

''Ashton.'' She says softly sitting next to me. I look over at her and watch her pulling the towel rapped around her head and letting her wet hair fall. ''I dont know what its like to wake up and not go to your job and not help people, my job is different, I help people to make them happy with decorations. You help people emotionally.'' She sighs.

''Yeah.'' I smile nervously. ''Its not your fault. I just need time and stuff to do, to get used to it.'' I put my hand on her knee and squeeze it gently. She shivers smiling and stand up kissing my cheek.

''I have work in the morning.'' She looks down at me. I gran hold of her hand and stand up. ''You could sleep over or go back to yours and I'll see you later.'' She offers.

''I could sleep over.'' I smirk. ''But..''

''Theres always a but.'' She laugh nervously.

''But I need a shower and shave and food.'' I smile.

''You can do that here. Apart from the shaving.'' she laughs nervously.

''Look, Lia.'' I grab both of her hands. ''I just.. I'm not ready to sleep here.. yet.'' The smile is swept off her face making my heart sink.

''Right.. yeah, thats fine.'' She nods letting go and walking to the hall way.

''I do promise to see you tomorrow.'' I kiss her soft lips smiling and pull open her door. ''I'll come here early to take you to work.'' I smile.

''Okay.'' she smiles. '' I get it.'' she nods kissing me again.

...

I park outside her work building and decide against it to go up. I wait for a few minutes and sigh getting out and walking to the building.

What is taking her so long. She is probably with that Luke guy.

I push the button for the lift and tap my foot on the floor while I wait for the lift impatiently. The doors start to open and I see Lia's face and then Lukes face, She giggles smiling until the doors fully open.

Is she seriously taking a selfie with him? Is he seriously kissing her cheek?

My eyes widen while looking at both of them and I just frown meeting Lia's eyes.

''Ashton.'' She says looking at me and then back to Luke. ''Its not what it seems.'' She says walking out of the lift with him.

''I'm not going to wait in the car.'' I say putting on the fakest smile ever and turn around walking off.

''Ashtons wait!'' She yells. ''I'll see you tomorrow, Luke'' I hear her say and walk out of the building. Her hills click on the concrete floor and get faster as she runs after me.

I pull open my car door and plop myself in the seat waiting for Lia to get in the car so I can drive her home.

''What was that all about?'' She throws her arms in front of her.

''What? what was what about?'' I frown.

''Why did you look at me like that? Why did you just..Ugh.'' She groans sitting back in the seat and closes her eyes.

'' I just think you are too close Luke.'' I mumble stopping at a red light.

''What?'' She says. ''Are you serious?'' She raises one eyebrow.

''Yes, Yes I am, Lia.'' I sigh driving down the street. '' It hurts that you hang out for with him than you do with me, you dont laugh with me like you do with him, you never take selfies and all other stuff.'' I glance over to her, she is looking out the window looking upset.

''You know that not true, I dont spend as much time with him as I do with you, it just happens to me that he works in the same building as I do. And if you want to take selfies with me and laugh and joke around around than okay.'' She shifts in her seat.

''I dont mind not doing that, I just dont like it that he is all over you.'' I sigh pulling into her drive way.

''Thats not true.'' She protests.

''Oh, you know it is.'' I look over at her switching of the engine. '' He is all over you, he probably has all your pictures over his bedroom walls.'' I glare at her.

She snorts and starts laughing. ''You are just jealous and you think I'm going to cheat on you but you are wrong, I dont have the same feelings for Luke like the ones I have for you. So dont you dare.'' she goes to open the car door but I lock the car.

''We havent done talking.'' I say seriously.

''Oh, we have done talking.'' She raises her brows laughing lightly. ''Now unlock this car, Ashton.'' She glares at me.

''If you leave this car with the conversation unfinished, I'm done talking to you.'' I threat.

''Whatever Ashton.'' She groans waiting for me to unlock the car. I unlock it and she goes to open it but stops. ''Please dont be like this.'' She looks at me. ''I know you're mad that Luke is close to me, but we are only friends. If it makes you feel better then I wont let him be so close, I wont hang out with him any longer and I'll take stupid selfies with you and make cupcakes and watch scary movies and have a pillow fight and eat popcorn and go shopping or whatever you want to do.'' She rests her hand on my knee and smiles.

''okay.'' I nod smiling and lean in to kiss her.
