Staring into the glass in his hand the male knew he might be slightly intoxicated, Slightly ? Tala scuffed and the Russian brought the rich liquid back to his lips taking a healthy swallow allowing it to burn the way down his throat. Soon he knew he would pass out into the sweet darkness that would claim him till then.. Tala brought he glass back to his lips again.

"Mr Valkov you can go in now." It was the small meek woman sitting behind a desk that drew his attention, Tala's head pounded mercilessly the sickness in his stomach pulled together threading to embarrass him right then and there.

He wanted to kick himself at that moment for feeling as bad as he did, Tala knew he deserved this hang over that was pounding away at his body. He stood up from the waiting bench and walked into the open door where the meek woman pointed with a twist of the door knob the Russian walked into the "doctor's office."

"I am sorry you had to wait outside, I had a patient in here that was convinced his mail man was out to get him." With a voice filled with slight amusement, doctor Williams adjusted the glasses that had shifted to the point of her nose. Doctor Williams was giving him that knowing smile as she pointed towards the sofa before her face turned to that of all business…. Why did this woman have to have the lights on so dam bright?

"Next time – I will just walk away." He stated that as a fact- it was a Russians right be a prick when wanted to be but the woman sitting at her desk seemed unfazed by this as she stood up.

"That's not what the court order says Mr. Volkov now please sit down let's get started." The woman could easily get on anyone's nerves with her demanding attitude it wasn't something he enjoyed in any doctor never mind a therapist – how hasn't she gone bankrupt yet. This was not the first time Tala sat down on the white sofa. He was here by force not by choice and the lovely doter knew it- after a court ordered him to be over seemed by the honey blond therapist and her report on his 'progress' Tala hated every moment of this.

"Mind if I take a nap?" he asked leaning back against the soft sofa and closed his eyes the thundering in his head slowly calming down.

"Actually I was hoping we actually talk about something today, let's make this meeting more protective then the last." That made Tala smile – yes he had spent the last session pretending not to listen to her checking his phone… she had gotten so angry at him he could see the furry in her green eyes but yet her voice stayed a calm prim note.

"How about we don't? look we both don't really want to be here – you could just write in that little note book of yours that there's nothing wrong with me and we can both be on our way."

"Or we can talk about the way you seem to avoid speaking about anything deeper candy bowl in the waiting room." The woman sounded slightly frustrated with him, Tala watched as she sat down on the chair across form him folding her knees primly and brow furrowed slightly he wondered is she was attempting to find a weak spot – the way his head was pounding it might not take her to long.

"Let's start somewhere easy – you seem good at avoiding topics you don't want to discuss, being in the public eye as you have been I am sure you have had to avoided a few reporters questions." Her voice did not give anything away.

" You could say that , but that doesn't sound like a question doc… what are you up to ?" if she was attempting to play a mind game with him dear dr. Williams had another thing coming he had been going this since he was a kid, Tala had seen the mind tricks in every sort and manipulations that could make anyone's skin crawl…

"Your cringing tala… did I trigger a memory" The blond write something down on her note book. "It's normal to want to protect yourself against prying questions and the eyes of the public – everyone enjoys their privacy." She had done her homework on him as she did any of her patients – Tala's case had drew Clare in the moment the judge had asked her if she was willing to take him on – Clare could not refuse she always had a soft spot of injured animals and Tala Valkov seemed an injured predator his eyes hid something dangers.

_Tala POV_

Trigger memories? I didn't like where this was going, I was only here because I was forced to deal with a therapist after a judge thought I might have some issues….
I shook my head pressing the thoughts deeper inside and watched the doctor as she scribbled something down on her paper.

"Tala, work with me here – sometimes it helps to just talk. I won't judge you and whatever you say will remain between us I take my patient doctor confidentiality extremely seriously." Dr. Williams looked at me with those emerald green eyes willing me to say something, I was enjoying giving this woman a hard time, and she didn't look quiet old enough to be a doctor early twenties? Maybe she was older then she looked.

"Alright I'll answer one question today." I smirked, I didn't exactly say how I would answer the question but a slight smile crossed my blond therapist lips.

"Do you think you have a drinking problem?"
