Dr. Bell and the List

Adrian Monk was sitting in Dr. Bell's office on a Monday morning. Something was bothing him.

" What's troubling you?" Dr. Bell asked him.

" Oh it's Natalie...she's angry with me for not respecting her..."Adrian shrugged as if he didn't understand or he just didn't want to respect her.

" Hmmm...interesting"Dr. Bell said rubbing his face. " very interesting"Dr. Bell rubed his face again.

"She left you once didn't she?" Dr. Bell asked him.

" Yeah to be looooottttoooo girl" Adrian said slowly and angrilly.

" You know why don't you?" Dr. Bell asked.

" Yes...she said I don't respect her that I don't pay her enough..." Adrian sighed.

" It's true...Adrian and do you remember how upset you were...? How jealous you were...and how scared you were of loosing her?"Dr. Bell asked him.

" She said she quit me that she quit us.." He sighed Then scrunched his shoulders.

" What do you think made her choose the word us Adrian?" Dr. Bell asked.

" I don't know?" Monk shrugged.

" Adrian she's lonely...your lonely..she's a widow your a...widower...Adrian...she loves you.."Dr. Bell said.

" Yeah.. I love her too" Adrian smiled.

" No Adrian..." Dr. Bell explained suddenly he was staring into Adrian's eyes. Adrian looked confused.

" no?" He asked tilting his head to the side.

" What I mean is..." Dr. Bell looked at him watching him. "She's in love with you" Adrian looked away from him. He shrugged his shoulder and took a nice deep breath.

" Adrian ...did you hear me?"Dr. Bell asked him. Adrian looked at him slowly.

" Natlaie? Nat?...no..." Adrian said completely in denial. Dr. Bell just nodded. " Adrian believe me." He explained.

"Adrian..." Dr. Bell asked. " Adrian you with me?"
