I got up from my chair and followed her into room three, set down my purse, and climbed on the table.
“So, you’re here for your exam and a refill on birth control pills. Correct?”
“Yes.”
“Did the front desk tell you that Dr. Williams will perform your exam today?”
“Yes.”
“Great. You’ll like him. He’s very nice and very good-looking.” She smiled. “You can go ahead and put on this gown, and he’ll be in shortly. He’s just finishing up with another patient.”
“Thank you.” I took the gown from her.
After stripping out of my clothes, I climbed back on the table and looked around the room as I nervously waited for Dr. Williams to come in. It didn’t matter how many times I’d been here; I was still always nervous. And now, to find out he was good-looking made it worse.
There was a light knock on the door, and a man’s voice asked if it was okay to come in.
“Yes,” I replied.
When the door opened, and Dr. Williams walked in, I gasped. Shit. Shit. Shit. He was young, hot, and he would be checking out my private parts.
“Hi, I’m Dr. Williams.” He grinned and then took a step back and narrowed his eye at me—a sick feeling formed in the pit of my stomach. “You look very familiar. Have we met before?”
“No. I don’t think so.”
Trust me, if I had met him before, I would have remembered, unless it was one drunken night. He stood about six feet tall, with tanned skin, short black perfectly styled hair, and bright blue eyes.
“I swear I’ve seen you before.” He looked down at my chart and then back up at me. “Well, this is awkward.”
“What’s awkward?” I asked with nervousness so deep I felt like I could vomit at any moment.
“I do believe I sent you an email asking you to go out.”
“Oh, hell no. You’re the Match guy?”
“Yes.” He nervously laughed.
“You’re right. This is awkward. You do realize that we can’t go out now, right? Because you’ll be all down there, in my personal space, checking me out, and it’s just weird.”
“I agree. It’s nice to meet you, Emily, even if it is under these circumstances.”
“Nice to meet you too, Dr. Williams.” I bit down on my bottom lip.
“Are you having any problems that I should know about?”
“No.”
“And you’re sexually active?” he asked in a professional manner.
“Umm. Yes.”
He gave me a small smile. “I’ll go call in the nurse, and we’ll get started.”
I wasn’t sure if I could go through with this. He was too handsome. At least Dr. Grey was an old man. To think, I could have gone on a date with him. Dr. Williams and the nurse entered the room, and I lay on the table with my feet in the stirrups.
“Are you okay?” he asked as he approached me.
“I’m fine. Let’s get this over with.”
