Part 5: Intrusion…

Saturday – 25th of March 2006

Celebration Party…

Katie stands in the function room of a restaurant at a grand hotel, busy talking to her friends and business clients. She was dressed in white silky spaghetti strapped top, the front overlaps each other, where one side is longer than the other, the longer side floating down to her left thigh. She accompanied her white top with a pair of black pinstripe, loose fitting work trousers. Formal but not too formal, her bare arms showing, one hand holding a glass of champagne and the other moving around as she speaks.

Grace was also on the other side of the room busily talking to some other clients, dressed in a knee length black dress, also holding a cup of champagne.

After entertaining her clients, and receiving her congratulations, Katie walks over to Grace. "Hey, is Jessie coming tonight?"

"Uh, yeah. Said she was gonna be a little late."

Katie looked relieved, and Grace saw. 'Interesting…'

Just then the door to the function room opens, and in comes Jessie, looking ever so dazzling in a criss-cross strapped baby blue long silky dress, which nearly reaches down to the floor, and has a slit reaching up to her knees. Her appearance causes men to gawk and women to look on in awe. Katie stands in a stupor.

'Woah… an angel? Wait that's Jessie… she looks really nice in that dress. HOT AS… Huh what am I thinking?' Katie stared in awe at the beauty, which is Jessie. 'FINE! I admit! I'm falling for my therapist! This must be why I've never loved any of my many boyfriends… I'M GAY!' Katie admits to the fact, 'I like girls and I find out now… I'm freaking 26!'

Out of everyone in the room, though surprised at how extra beautiful Jessie was, Grace was the only person able to still move and think at the appearance of Jessie. Grace makes her way over to greet her step-sister by the door.

"Hey Jess. Nice dress." Grace greets.

"Thanks. Is it just me, or is it really quite in here." Jessie whispers into Grace's ear.

Grace only laughs and leads Jessie over to Katie, causing Jessie to become confused. Soon people began to talk again, and the noise started to build up back to before.

"Hey Katie… Congratulations. You look pretty nice tonight." Jessie says, looking up and down Katie, who was still standing in a trance.

'I like that top on her… Jess… She's a girl… Hmm. Who on earth said I can't like girls?' Jessie debated in her head. 'There must be a reason why I've never been attracted to any guys.'

Somehow, she manages to reply, "Thanks, and you look really, really nice tonight. Like exceptionally nice."

Jessie laughs and blushes a little, "Thanks."

Wednesday – 29th of March 2006 (1 pm)

Grace and Jessie sat at the corner table in a café waiting for Katie… again.

"So… I see Katie's doing well at your sessions."

"Hmm… How do you know?"

"She's a lot happier now a days, starting to resemble the old her again."

"Well… people don't pay this much money for me to do nothing, right?"

"True. But I also know that you like helping other people."

"Uh huh."

Katie quickly rushed into the café and searched for Grace's face. 'Damn… why do I always have to be running late!'

Out of the corner of Katie's eyes, she noticed someone wave, she turned her head and saw Grace sitting next to someone… who in fact looked really familiar even from behind. Katie quickly made her way over to the corner of the café, and took a seat across from Grace and the other girl.

"Hey. Sorry, I was busy on the phone with someone, didn't mean to be late." Katie started apologizing as she puts her stuff down into the empty chair next to hers. "And…" she finally looks up, and she sees to amused looking faces staring at her.

"OH… Hi Jessie, didn't know you were having lunch with us." Katie greeted.

"Hi. A patient cancelled their appointment so I had free time."

"I see."

"Yes… and I thought I told you to stop rushing around this often, it's not good for you." Jessie said with authority and a hint of playfulness.

"Not my fault that stupid client won't… shut up." Katie said the last bit in a hush-hush tone of voice as she turns her head around to make sure she doesn't see any of her clients. "I swear… every single time I talk to him, he would just go on and on and on."

"Maybe he has something for you." Jessie joked, though feeling a little jealous.

"I think he might… He did ask to go out and have dinner with me this weekend." Katie recalls.

"Go for it."

"Maybe… I mean he's quite good looking I must say, just has a motor mouth."

"I'm sure that can be fixed."

"Ugh. I just remembered he said for me to call him back later…"

"Well, you see? Another chance for him to ask you and a chance for you to accept that poor guys offer."

"HELLO!" Grace waves sarcastically, "I'm still here you know."

"Sorry Grace." Katie apologized.

"Anyways… I'm just lucky I don't have that client of yours. And will you hurry up and order what you're gonna eat."

45 minutes later…

"Bye Grace! Bye Katie, see you later!" Jessie said as she walked off in the opposite direction.

"Bye." They both replied simultaneously.

Yet again, out of the corner of Katie's eyes, she sees that similar figure across the road again. She turns her head, but only catches a glimpse of the person's back, but it was enough to determine that it was a man. Katie frowns, but Grace doesn't notice because she has already walked off to her car.

'I swear he's that same guy, what the hell?'

"Hey, I'll see back at the office later?" Grace said to no one, "Katie?" She turns to see Katie still standing outside the café. "Hello Katie!"

"Huh…" Katie comes back from her thoughts. "Coming…"

Appointment – 5:30pm

"See you next week Mr. Simmons… I meant George." Jessie says as she waves him goodbye when he walks out of her room.

Just at that moment, Katie breezes in through the front glass doors of the clinic, missing Mr. Simmons by a few centimeters.

"Woah… sorry." Katie apologizes.

"It's okay…" He replies with a hint of annoyance in his eyes before walking towards the elevator. Only Katie notices his expressions.

"Hey Katie!" Jessie greets, pulling Katie out of her thoughts.

"Hey Jess!"

"Running late I see."

"No… Just on time I believe."

Jessie laughs, "come on in."

After everything is in order, they are both seated in their spots, they began.

"Anything in particular… that you haven't said at lunch?" Jessie smirks.

"Well no… except that I've accepted the offer of going out to dinner with that stupid client." Katie said 'stupid' much more… smoothly… this time.

'Why am I lying to her? I totally rejected that guy?'

For some reason or another, Jessie kind of feels a hint of jealousy and sadness in her as she heard Katie tell her she's going on a date.

'Even if I do like Katie… she's my patient… I can't date my patients!'

"Good for you." Jessie says.

This session went by soon, maybe too soon for both Jessie and Katie's liking. They both avoided the topic of Katie going on the 'date'. Once again, the three, Jessie, Katie and Kristy lock up and leave together. After Kristy has said her goodbyes she left with her boyfriend again.

"You busy tonight?" Katie asks.

'Jessie you can't date your patients… you can't date your patients.'

"Uh sorry… I'm gonna be a little busy." Jessie lies.

Katie clearly looks saddened, "Oh… Okay. Next time then."

"Yeah… well, my car's parked that way." Jessie points behind her.

"Oh, mines that way." Katie points in the opposite direction.

"Well, see around then." Jessie says as she turns to leave.

"See yah."
