“Friends with benefits.” She smirked.

“So what? A lot of people have friends with benefits.”

“And what if he has more friends with benefits?”

“I don’t think he does, but if he did, what could I do about that? We aren’t in a re—” I stuttered.

“A relationship? Come on, Emily, you can say the word.”

I wasn’t talking about this anymore with her, so I changed the subject.

“How are you and Alex doing?”

“We’re good.”

“Has he gotten the results back from the bar exam yet?”

“Not yet. But I’m sure he passed. So how did you and Jackson leave things this morning?”

“What do you mean?”

“Did you kiss goodbye? Did he say he’d call you? Did you set up another date?”

“He did kiss me goodbye. He didn’t say he’d call, and we have not set up another date.” I walked into the backroom, and she followed.

“So, you just have to sit and wait around to see if he shows up again or what?”

“I guess so. Anyway, I got an email this morning from some guy from Match. He wants to meet. He’s a gynecologist, divorced for two years, thirty-two years old, and no kids.”

“Are you going to meet him?”

“Probably not. I’m not ready to deal with all the man drama again.”

Her eyes narrowed at me for a moment.

“Are you sure it’s not because of Jackson?”

“Trust me. It’s not because of Jackson. Speaking of gynecology, I have an appointment today at one o’clock.”

“For?” she asked.

“Refill on my pills and exam.”

“Better you than me. I hate going there.”

I laughed as I walked to the front of the store, unlocked the door, and opened for business.

When I walkedinto Dr. Grey’s office, the receptionist, Noreen informed me that Dr. Grey was at the hospital delivering a baby, so his associate, Dr. Williams, would perform my exam. I wasn’t sure if I was comfortable with that since I had never met him.

“I didn’t know Dr. Grey had an associate,” I spoke.

“He just brought Dr. Williams on three months ago.”

“I see. Okay then.” I smiled as I took a seat in the waiting area.

I really had no choice. I was down to my last pill and needed the refill ASAP. I wasn’t about to compromise my birth control because Dr. Grey was off delivering a baby.

“Emily.” The nurse opened the door with a smile.
