6 case of lies

i hustle a little myself . you're paying me on the cash discount basis right ? it's a tax free zone up here . the showgirls make so much money outsite the shows doing entertaining , you wouldn't believe it . no offense . but i also know you're not a showgirl ."
"because ?"
"too petite , and you know , not in your twenties anymore. so  what do you really do ?"
"law , i'm a lawyer ." the hands stopped and nina wondered ifchelsi would slide out of her cheerful mood . confessing her profession at a cocktail party often resulted in a step back and eyes everted from hers , as though she'd admitted she was a hooker .
both necessary  evils , she said to herself .
but chhelsi took no offense . " rigt ! nina reilly , i read about you in the paper . you do murder trials . keep your head down . relax ."
"i do all kinds law work . whatever comes through the door . not just murder trils ."
"well , that might explain your neck . is that where the  headaches start ?"
"actually , they start right in my temples , even when i haven't been reading ," nina said .
"let me try something ," chelsi told her . she rolled nina over and began massaging her face , starting with her forehead and temples , circling the eye sockets with expert fingers , proding under her jaw." it's a tibetan technique . kum nye ." again , the reief was both subtle and intense , nina felt her jaw go slack for maybe the first time since childhood .
"you poor thing , you need to come in at least once a week for a couple of months . i can do more for you than  those pills you were prescribed . you have stored up tension everywhere ."
"it's deal ." nina muttered .
there was a long silence while chelsi did some acupredon nina's cheekbones and around her snuses , then did that dainty pressing around her eyes again ."i'm sorry you got shot ."
she voluneered finally .
