I took one last swallow of water, slipping my heels off before my next client. Lying on my gray office couch, I shut my eyes, knowing the familiar feeling of nervousness in my chest. Excitement. Fear. Surprise. Curiosity.
Every client was unique. No two sessions were ever the same. And yet, after a thorough background check, I knew it was my job to say “yes” to new clients as much as I could. My job wasn’t a job; it was a calling.
Manuel had told me that my clients would find me. I usually booked 4-5 clients per day, but today was a light day with only 2 clients at 8am and 12pm, so I had plenty of time to take a leisurely lunch and yoga class. My waiting list was now booked 4 months in advance.
Be grateful and courageous, Sidney. Have faith. You have work to do in your own country. You have everything you need. I could still hear and feel Manuel’s presence and wisdom.
I glanced at the clock; most clients arrived around ten minutes early. I slipped my heels back on and checked my appearance in the mirror. I had chosen a black and white geometric wrap dress by Diane Von Furstenberg and my favorite emerald heels. My make up was minimal except for a bright lip and gold hoops. None of this mattered; it was merely to make a first impression during the pre-massage consultation. I had found it put men at ease to mirror the amount of clothing that they wore. I wore my wavy brown hair loose, down.
Glancing up at the glass door, I saw a man that I assumed to be Mr. McCarthy walk toward my office and I quickly powered down the computer and phone.
The next two hours were all his.
