I set my cup down, then slammed the door so hard that the mirror rattled, returning back to the toilet to finish my business.
Then I decided that I was going to have to make a run for it.
Yes, that was the best course of action.
I would have to run, and I’d probably die, but I could do it.
I’d done it before.
Sure, it’d been a while since I’d run, but I had a feeling I could make it.
I washed my hands, grabbed my stuff and was out the door before I could rethink what I was about to do.
I made it to the first exam room when I was caught.
He came out of the room—what I guessed was the lab—and blocked my way with just his body.
“Can I show you to your room, Krisney?” Reed asked sweetly.
My eyes flittered around the immediate area, seeing if we had any witnesses, and I groaned.
We did.
There were two pregnant women, one on a chair getting her blood pressure taken, and another in an exam room directly across from where I was standing. There was a nurse taking the blood pressure, another at the counter filling out some paperwork, and another doctor that was standing in the doorway to the exam room with the pregnant woman in it.
They were all looking at me.
“Sure,” I nearly choked. “Which one is it?”
The nurse taking the blood pressure pointed to the one that I’d already run past, and I winced.
Sighing in resignation, I turned around and hurried back to the room. He didn’t follow.
My mind whirled a hundred thousand miles an hour.
Reed. Here. Doing my exam.
“If you’ll take off all your clothes and place them over here, then slip into this gown, Dr. Hail should be with you in a moment.”
I jumped at seeing a nurse almost directly behind me, staring at me with weirdly astute eyes.
She left then, leaving me alone in a room with nothing to do but to think.
Which I did.
Oh, God.
Reed.
Reed. Hail. Doing another exam on me…yeah, that wasn’t going to work.
But what option did I have? There was one office in town that did the vagina stuff that I needed. One. If I wanted to go to another one, it’d be over two hours away. And just switching doctors wasn’t going to work. He wouldn’t let me be seen by another doctor in his office when he was there.
I knew that down to my soul.
Oh, hell no.
I got up walked to the corner of the room, and yanked the little curtain shut as I reached for my pants.
“Guess you never did figure out how to be an adult.”
Everything inside of me froze except for my arm.
Reaching up, I carefully parted the curtain, walked back out with the tiny paper towel wrapped around me, and gently took a seat on the table. Then laid back like I didn’t have a care in the world.
This was going to be bad. Very, very bad.
“I thought you were in Germany,” I mumbled to the ceiling.
There was a freakin’ light over the top of the table, shining directly down onto me…blinding me.
I continued to stare at it. Maybe if I did it long enough, I wouldn’t be able to see him when he started doing things between my legs.
Maybe…but I didn’t have the best luck in that department, though.
I was the unluckiest person in the world.
“Came home about three days ago. Worked with my brother for one of those days.”
“I thought you were there for a year,” I continued.
His hand touched my thigh. “I thought you were there for a year.”
“Touché.” I grimaced.
That was the nice thing about being in the Reserves at this point. Although I could’ve stayed there, I didn’t have to.
I’d gotten out of the Army a while ago on a whim.
Knowing that Reed could possibly pop up anywhere was getting to the point where I was always looking over my shoulder. So, I’d gone and joined the Reserves. Unknowingly, so had Reed.
Which meant he could possibly follow me.
He hadn’t out and out admitted that he did, but I knew it wasn’t a complete coincidence that he always ended up showing where I was.
I didn’t think he actually wanted to see me. I thought he truly just wanted to make sure I was okay, while still keeping his distance.
Yet, even though I knew he wasn’t purposefully trying to ruin my life, he still was.
In fact, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this really wasn’t a good idea. Like, if I could choose from of a list of bad things that I’d never want to happen, having him do another vaginal exam on me was pretty damn close to the top of that list.
So, I got up and walked to the corner, shoved the curtain aside, and stepped behind it before closing it again.
