What Doesn't Kill Us-Ch 9
Derek got to the appointment first and was sitting alone in the waiting room when Penelope walked in, he felt his heart racing as he watched her walk closer to him. She sat down beside him and said, "sorr, traffic was a bear", he whispered, "it's alright baby", she said, "are you ready for our first fight"?, he took a deep breath and said, "it's a go when the secretary comes back in", she nodded her head in agreement as they sat there waiting for their opportunity to start the faux fight.
Penelope heard the clacking of heels and said, "oh I can't believe you Andy, are you seriously trying to deny that you were flirting with that hussy"?, he said,
"calm down baby". She pushed his hand off of her lap and said, "don't you calm down baby me, I can't believe you", he said, "well it if wasn't so cold at home then I wouldn't have to flirt now would I"?, she crossed her legs and put her hands on her lap.
Derek said, "lastnight was the first time in weeks that you let me touch you", she said, "we don't have to bring that up do we"?, he said, "ohhhhhh yes we do to, are you going to deny it that lastnight was the first time you let me touch you"?, she said, "no I won't deny that but I had my reasons". He leaned forward and said, "and what was that reason"?, she opened her mouth to speak when the doctor stepped to the door and said, "Mr and Mrs Moran please come in".
They stood up and followed the doctor into his office, he held his hands out and said, "my name is Dr. Fred Chatworth and I will be your counselor", Derek and then Penelope shook hands as they made their way over to their seats. Fred said, "I couldn't help but hear your conversation in the waiting room", Penelope then covered her face with her hands and said, "I'm so sorry about that".
Fred said, "don't be, a lot of couples fight Mandy", she pulled a tissue out of her purse and said, "I just wish that we weren't two of them doctor", Fred put his hand on hers and said, "please call me Fred". She smiled and said, "thank you Fred". He then sat back in his seat and said, "alright Andy can you tell me what you think is the main reason that the two of you argue"?, he thought for a few seconds and said, "that's easy Mandy's jealous".
Penelope said, "jealous, jealous of what, your hussies", Fred said, "Mandy please let me hear what Andy has to say", Derek said, "I can't do anything or go anywhere that she isn't jealous, even if she's with me". He said, "like today at lunck", he said, "what happened today at lunch"?, he said, "we were getting ready to head back to work and she needed to use the restroom", Fred nodded his head as Derek continued talking.
He took a deep breath and said, "while she was gone this beautiful woman walked over and started talking to me telling me that the two of us should get together that she could make me happier that Mandy ever could". Fred said, "and how did that make you feel"?, he said, "I was flattered, I mean she was gorgeous and had a body that wouldn't quit and here she wanted me".
Fred said, "what did you say to this woman"?, he said, "I told her that I didn't want her that I was a married man", he said, "but the question here is did you want to go with this woman"?, he said, "part of me did, yes". He looked at Penelope and said, "and how did that make you feel Mandy"?, she said, "I sometimes wonder why we ever got married".
Penelope said, "it breaks my heart to watch him blatenly flirting with every woman he sees", Derek said, "well if I could get any from you at home I wouldn't have to now would I"?, Fred said, "alright let's take a few deep breaths here and calmmmmmmmm down". He looked at Mandy and said, "how long has it been since the two of you made love Mandy"?, she said, "lastnight Fred".
Derek said, "ask her how long before lastnight did we go, go ahead Fred ask her", he looked at her and said, "how long before lastnight had it been since the two of you made love"?, she said, "4 months". Fred said, "why so long Mandy"?, she said, "the way he is around other women I was afraid", he said, "afraid of what Mandy"?, she wiped her nose and said, "afraid that I would catch something from his hussies".
Derek said, "that's outrageous I've never cheated on you", she says, "fromt he way you acted earlier today how can I know for sure that you are being 100%
faithful Andy"?, he said, "because I tell you I am". She laughed and said, "yeahhhhhhhh like you are honest with me alllll the time". He said, "what about you and what I saw when I came to surprise you today"?, she opened her mouth and Fred said, "what did you see when you went to surprise her at work"?, he said, "I see her pinned to a table and one of her workers is trying to kiss her".
Fred said, "what was happening Mandy"?, she said, "he he he just got carried away, it didn't mean anything", Derek said, "yeah right, it looked like he was going to screw you right there on the table". She stood up and said, "don't you talk to me like that", he stood up and said, "what are you going to do about it cry again"?, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face before storming out of the room.
