After her session was completed with Comet, Judith was in shock. She had always known that there was something wrong with the beautiful girl, that she was stressed in some way, that she could feel every single time she sat with her anxiety rolled off her in waves. But to deal with this without any kind of preparation from the beginning, she was in shock. Judith was well aware that when she had proposed to Lester to have physical relationship with her in order for her to treat Comet coming to their house in a personal setting, she was going against all the rules that therapist should follow.
“I think that I need to talk to your dad,” say Judith as Comet nodded. She asked,” Should I send in Uncle Larry as well?”
“No. I think I will talk to Lester at the moment. But before you go I would just like to say this to you Comet that I have encountered a lot of troubled young women and men as well in my career but never before had I the honour of meeting someone who was so brave.”
“I don’t think that I am brave. It is my daddy and my uncle Larry who are actually brave. They are the ones who have been putting up with me for all this time. They are the ones who have been taking care of me and holding me close when I have been having nightmares. You have no idea of the pain that I was in when I came back home. I did not even completely recognize daddy and uncle Larry until for quite a few months. I did not tell them, but I could understand that being new. And they were so hard by my behavior but it was completely out of my control. But the best part is, they are the ones who saved me. Or else, I would not have been even alive. They used to speak that the girls who were brought in for breaking, they hardly survived a few months and then their bodies washed up somewhere else. Beaten and battered and unrecognizable. And I was saved from that inevitable fate.”
Judith nodded and said, “Like I said I have never encountered anyone so brave. You might think that you are not brave but trust me everything that you have undergone the pain that you have suffered the trauma that you have imbibed in yourself it has only made you stronger and a lot better person. And whatever you think of yourself it is not going to change the fact that you are extremely strong. And out of the I am proud of the work that you are doing on yourself.”
“Thank you, Judith. I will go and tell daddy that you are waiting for him,” said Comet as she rose up and went inside. Lester was waiting for her in the drawing room and she said,” Judith wants to talk to you Daddy.” She went close to him and then wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her head on his chest and Lester caught hold of her tightly.
“You don’t have anything to be scared about baby girl, daddy and uncle Larry are going to be there always for you Lester said softly. And then he continued, you were correct about the bugging and the cameras. Larry has identified and removed almost all of them. There wasn’t one in your bedroom for which I am glad. And the rest if any left then we will find them out as well. If he has any kind of video feed which he was going to use on me as blackmail material we are going to draw it out of him.”
“We are going to get him ready,” Comet said. “I’m sure of it.”
“Of course we are, baby girl. Have no doubt about that. If you are in the mood then go and help out Larry. I think that he can use some perking up.”
Comet giggled at Lester and then said,” Of course, Daddy. I need to finish this call first and then I will go and help out Uncle Larry.”
Lester did not say anything else smiled at her and patted her head, and then went out to the room where Judith was waiting for him. He was aware that he was going to have to face a very difficult situation and answer some very uncomfortable questions but he was ready for it.
When he entered the room Judith stood up and then said, “I am sorry for whatever I have done.”
Lester was not expecting this at all, so he said, “What are you sorry for? You are the one who is helping out Comet! And you have no idea how grateful I am just for that.”
Judith smiled sadly at him and replied, “ If I had known whatever you have faced or whatever she has encountered or what torture she has endured then I would have never proposed you for being intimate with me at all. You have no idea how ashamed I am just for the sake of even thinking about this.”
Lester smirked at her and said, “as far as I understand, it’s two to tango. Whatever you did it was not without consent. And I was as much interested as you were in whatever we did. So don’t feel guilty for that at all.”
Judith laughed at his words and said, we are taught in our classes that we should never be judgmental while treating a patient. Or we should not have any kind of preconceived notions about who we are seeing. But you know what happens in all the years that I have been checking patients out and dealing with their s****l problems their desires their issues and whatever is that they might have been facing, it is very difficult to have a very clear mind. Most of the problems of the patients that I face are run of the mill. And they definitely don’t give me nightmares. But whatever I heard for the past couple of hours from comet, are going to keep me awake for a very long time. And today I came to understand why we were told to not have any ideas about our patient before they begin to open up.”
“I think that you are doing a stellar job. Comet has been focusing a lot on herself these past few days, she has been reading the books that you have suggested. I mean I never got to get her read any kind of book like that. She’s trying to think what she wants to be. And the entire credit of that improvement goes to you,” Lester said.
While they were having a conversation about Comet here, she was sitting inside and calling up Jamie. He was Calla’s older brother and if all the rumours about him were correct then he was a pro at seducing older women. When it came to seduction, comet also had quite some experience but it was with people who already loved her. Who already wanted her. When it came to seducing someone who himself was an expert at conning people she needed to know the tricks off the trade. And who was supposed to give it better than someone who was a pro at that. Jamie was no pornstar neither was he an exceptional at what school or his studies, but he was a great artist and Calla had told him that she had once seen her brother after he had come out of bath and he was supposed to be great in the sack as well.
Moreover he was supposed to have received the scholarship after seducing one of the university professors who had been very impressed by his performance. She had texted Calla about getting Jamie’s number and she had given it to her. Now it was time to have a conversation with him to make sure if the rumours about him were true.
Comet called Jamie. He received the call after two rings, “Hello?”
“Hi Jamie. This is Comet. I got your number from Calla. Is this a good time to talk?”
“Of course. Calla called me up as well and told me that you were looking for my number. At first I thought that she was pranking me but then she returned back to her Beachy self and I understood that it was really you who wanted my number. Never in my wildest dreams I ever thought that I would be getting a call from you, Comet.”
“And why did you think so?” asked Comet with a smirk playing on her lips. Even though Jamie could not see it he could understand very well that she was enjoying the attention that he was paying her.
“You are exceptionally beautiful and hot. I never thought that you would want to do something with me.”
“Oh Jamie! I still don’t want to do anything with you at all. But I need your help with something. Actually there were a few rumors when I was in school and you were going out for college. Are they true?”
“And what kind of rumors were these?” Jamie asked her back. He was never going to actually tell her anything before she told him what it was she needed help with.
“Well I don’t want to insinuate anything bad I heard that your scholarship was based on your stellar performance in bed with one of your older professors who was supposed to be in charge of your scholarship review. And her glowing remarks about your work where the only thing which got you into college.”
“Officially that version does not exist. But since we go way back, and you are my sister’s friend, I’ll tell you the truth. It is true. It probably helped a lot that she was smoking hot. But I have a thing for older women. It is almost like I can’t control myself when I’m with them.”
“That is really good. Because I need your help with something similar.”
I really doubt that you need my help with something similar. Look at yourself. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror, Comet? When you walk past the streets men instantly get hard ons,” said Jamie s he laughed out loud. Comet did not enjoy hearing such about her but she knew that it was all part of the game that she needed to learn how to play.
“Even though that is true, I still don’t know what to do when it comes to an older man. You see there is this one guy at my daddy’s office. He is so handsome, it almost melts me every single time I look at him. But he does not pay me any attention at all. I mean, what do I do to get him to like me?”
“Like you? Or sleep with you?”
“Is there any difference between both?” Comet asked him flippantly and Jamie laughed again. And he said,” You are a lot smarter than my sister gives you credit for. Of course not. But when it comes to men you know you should be able to understand their needs better than me. But I guess that I can give you a few pointers.”
“That is all I am asking for,” said Comet.
“But what do I get in return?”
“A date with me when you are back home,” said Comet. She knew that Jamie was going to say something like this for sure so she had been ready with the answer.
“Done. It is a deal. So tell me, what do you want to know?”
