Confronted and Bedtime

8:55 PM

Dr. Valentine grabbed both of Kelly's hands and looked her in the eyes. "This is your issue, dear. It is what I am here to help you come to terms with" the Asian lady gently intoned to her patient. "You have a deeply repressed desire for men with authority over you. You shut down because you cannot handle that feeling" the therapist said with a smile. "Until you deal with this, you'll be unable to function in an environment that isn't all-female or at least woman-led. In a world where things tend to be the opposite, it's something you have to confront and deal with. No matter what some people like to say, that isn't changing any time soon" she informed the coed. "So I have to sleep with every male boss I ever have?" the brunette sputtered incredulously. "Of course not" the doctor groused back. "It means you need to understand where these feelings are coming from, confront the problem, and learn to deal with it correctly. We'll finish this tomorrow. I'm confident once we complete the final lessons, you'll be fully equipped to handle this with no problems" Dr. Valentine assured her. "Meredith will take care of you tonight. There is a sleeping room through the washroom. She'll see to it you get fed and can sleep. We'll continue in the morning" the therapist promised as she let go and left the room. Meredith smiled, took her hand, and led her to the bathroom. The blonde pointed to the far door, told her to clean up and come in when she was done.

9:15 PM

Kelly felt frustrated but comfortable when she left the washroom and walked through the far door. The room beyond was a small one with a twin bed, a small table with two chairs, and a TV in the corner atop a small dresser. She could see Meredith had left a half a box of pizza on the table and a nightshirt on the bed. She walked toward the table and the delicious smelling meal when the blonde walked in the far door carrying a couple of bottles of fruit juice. "Welcome to your new crash pad, Kelly!" the stylist exclaimed as she set the bottles next to the pizza. The brunette sat, grabbed a slice, and immediately started eating without offering a word. "Eat, drink and rest," Meredith said cheerfully, "You're going to have a busy day tomorrow". She turned the TV on and watched a bit of a reality show while the young woman finished the pizza.

"What happens tomorrow?" Kelly inquired of the blonde as she finished the last of her meal. "It'll be a busy day" Meredith replied. "I'm not sure what the doctor has planned exactly but it should have something to do with getting you over your authority hump" the secretary bubbled as she cleaned up the mess. "Dr. Valentine is an expert at this stuff. She worked long and hard at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Vietnam to get where she is, sweetheart. I wouldn't think to question her. I just answer phones and do the occasional makeover" Meredith laughed as she handed the TV remote to the coed. "There is an extra uniform in the closet and a clean sleep outfit on the bed. You already know where the restroom is. The shower in there works fine. I'll pop by in the morning with breakfast, we'll touch you up, and then I expect the doctor will take over" the blonde said with a smile. She took both of Kelly's hands and when she stood, gave her a big hug. "You just relax and get a good night's sleep. This will all be over soon!" the receptionist promised as she let the girl go and walked out the door.

Kelly sighed and wondered what the morning would bring. She dug through her backpack and retrieved her trusty Rabbit from a small bag at the bottom. Once again she was very glad she left it in there. It has often come in handy in the most unexpected places. She spread a towel on the bed, laid atop it, and slowly released the frustration with her beloved little toy. As she found her rhythm, she thought about what Ronald would have done with her had the doctor not interrupted at the end. It didn't take long to will herself to climax with the help of her imagination and her little friend. She then hopped into the warm shower and washed clean. After tossing both towels in the hamper, she changed and laid in bed watching TV until she finally slipped off into a sound sleep. *The morning would bring answers* she thought as the darkness claimed her hopeful and tired mind.
