The Appointment
It was 6:30 AM when Vera rolled over to turn off her alarm. She groaned at how early it was almost wanting to go back to sleep. She sat up and swung her feet over the edge of the bed not being able to touch the ground because of her height. She got up and made her way to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror as she brushed her teeth. When she walked back into her room she noticed a small note next to a glass of water. She furrowed her eyebrows at first forgetting about last night. She read the note from Joan and her cheeks blushed from embarrassment suddenly remembering everything that happened.
Vera had completely forgotten that she had asked Joan to go with her to the doctors today.
OMG! She thought
She now has her boss driving her to her doctors appointment. She puts her face in her palm and shakes her head. What have I done? She is a busy woman. How could you ask her such a favor? She then realized that Joan must’ve not minded going with Vera to the doctor since she is the one taking me after all.
Vera saw the clock now said 7 AM. She had been sitting there for 30 minutes contemplating her thoughts.
Vera got up and started to get ready. She wore a simple lavender floral day dress that went down just below the knee. She wanted to make sure she was wearing something that was comfortable since the weather was going to be nice today. She threw on some flesh pink lipstick and some mascara. She was going for a simple look.
Vera made her way downstairs and popped some toast in the toaster. While she waited for the toast to get done she went over to the shoe rack to pick out some black flats. By the time she picked them out her toast was ready. The smaller woman walked back into the kitchen and pulled her toast out of the toaster. She put some vegemite on her toast and ate it for breakfast.
As she took her last bite of toast she realized that it was 7:50 AM! She quickly grabbed her medical papers and purse. She heard a soft tap on the door. Must be Joan. She walked over, opened the door and there stood Fletch.
“I saw you're not at work this morning I wanted to make sure you were alright.” Fletch sounded worried. “Ah you look nice, expecting someone?”
Vera was confused as to why Fletch even cared about her to leave work and check on her. “Yeah I am actually Fletch i'm gonna need you to leave they will be here any minute.” As Vera said this there was Joan pulling up in her driveway.
Fletch looked at Vera in confusion as Joan got out of the car and started to walk up to the house. “The Governor must be worried about you to.” Fletch tried not to laugh
“No Mr.Fletcher, I'm here to pick Vera up.” Joan said and smiled. She walked past Fletch and up to Vera as she was closing her door and held out her elbow for Vera to grab.
Vera was a little confused as to why Joan was acting this way but definitely wasn't complaining. Vera Interlocked their elbows as Joan lead her to the car and opened the passenger door so she could get in.
Fletcher was confused and jealous he didn't know what was going on between the two. “What are y'all a thing now?”
Joan looked back with a mischievous smile before saying “Mr.Fletcher I suggest you get back to work, me and Ms.Bennett will be just fine.” Joan walked over to her side of the car got in and backed out of the driveway.
“Thanks for that.” Vera blushed
“Of Course Vera, your my friend I would do what's best for you, and right then Mr.Fletcher was not what's best! We need to get you to the doctor after all.” Joan reached over and patted Vera's knee.
Joan noticed that Vera was wearing a beautiful dress that complimented her eyes very well. “You look very nice today Vera. Do you always dress so nice for the doctors or was it something else?” Joan smirked knowing Vera was watching her.
“No, I just knew it would be nice out today and i didn't want to look terrible coming out of the house. Also today is a big day, I find out if my Hep C is gone or not. That's why I asked you to come. I would like you to know.” Vera explained
“Well thank you for letting me be here.” Joan pulled into the doctor right on time. Joan got out before Vera could so she could open her door for her. “Ah Ah i got it.”
Vera blushed “Thank you Joan.”
They both walked inside Joan again holding the door for Vera. As Vera went to sign in Joan sat down in the waiting room. Vera came back and sat next to Joan and they started talking about work and little things outside of work.
Finally after waiting a good 20 minutes a nurse comes out “Vera Bennett!” She calls out into the waiting room.
Vera stands up and takes Joans hand and walks her over to the nurse. The nurse takes them back to a room where Vera has to wait for the doctor.
“I could've waited in the waiting room ya know.” Joan says
“No way! I brought you here so you could come back with me.” Vera let out a little chuckle. “I'm just really praying that the medicine worked and I no longer have Hep C.” Vera frowned
Joan grabbed Vera's hand and held it slowly, caressing it “I'm sure it's cured by now Vera.” Joan smiled reassuringly
After a few minutes the doctor knocked on the door and walked in causing them to release their hands. The doctor was holding a needle and little vials so he could get Vera's blood sample. ”Alright Ms.Bennett I'm gonna need to see your arm so I can find a nice vein for this blood sample.”
Vera gave him her arm as he was observing it for good veins “Alrighty here's a good one. I'm just gonna tie this around your arm and get your vein to pop out a bit.”
Vera felt the pressure of the rubber around her arm “Joan can I hold your hand please. I hate needles.” Vera reached for Joans hand and Joan reached out and took it. Joan made Vera focus all of her attention on her.
Vera started to panic as she saw the needle. Joan put two fingers under Veras chin to bring her head towards Joan. “Look into my eyes Vera it's alright. It's just pain. Focus on me.” Vera listened to Joan. By the time Joan got done talking it was all over and the doctor had her blood samples.
“Nice job Ms.Bennett, you did very good today. Perhaps you should bring your wife in with you more often.” Joan looked at Vera and Vera looked at Joan.
They busted out laughing.
“My wife, ah haha.” Vera was hysterical
“Oi Vera when did we get married because I think I missed the wedding.” Joan still laughing
“Sorry ladies you too must have a very good friendship then cause the whole staff mistaked you all for lovers.” The doctor said
Vera looked at Joan and Blushed. Joan, still laughing, put her hand up to Veras cheek and rubbed it “Don't Worry my wife, no need to be embarrassed.” Vera cracked a smile.
The doctor is now gone. “You know Joan you should laugh more. It's a good look for you.” Joan felt a blush, was she blushing? No way she never blushes. “No need to feel embarrassed if anybody should be embarrassed. It's me because I couldn't handle a tiny needle.” Vera saying this caused Them both to chuckle a little bit.
“Thanks Vera, you know this isn't the ideal day off of work but it's quite nice to have a break.” Joan smiled at Vera. They got so distracted that they didn't notice they were still holding hands. Vera let out a smile.
They both heard a knock on the door. Looking up vera noticed it was a female nurse. “My results are back already?” Vera said, confused.
“No actually Ms.Bennett the doctor needs me to check for lumps since you're already here.” The nurse smiled.
Joan looked at Vera with wide eyes. “Would you like your friend to sit out in the waiting room?” The nurse asked.
“Yes I-” Joan began to say before Vera cut her off.
“No she's fine. She can stay.” Vera looked at Joan and smiled.
“Are you sure?” Joan and the nurse said at the same time.
“Yeah that's fine I don't mind.” Vera said quickly
Vera began to take off her dress because she didn't wear a shirt. She wasn't expecting to do this today so she thought a dress would be good. There she was now only in her knickers and bra. Vera begins to blush being practically naked in front of the nurse and Joan. She slowly took off her bra. feeling completely exposed. Veras nipples begin to harden at the cold air blowing over them.
Joan was watching the doctor check Vera for breast lumps. Joan will be lying if she didn't wish that she was the one checking Vera and not the nurse. Vera had really nice plump breasts. She was trying not to look directly at Vera during the process but it wasn't easy.
The nurse was now done checking Vera. “You're all good to get dressed now.” The nurse left the room.
“Hey Joan, can you help me?” Vera was asking Joan to help her put her bra back on. Joan walked over to Vera and clipped her bra for her. When she was done clipping Vera's bra she took her hands and ran them down Vera's shoulders and down her arms. feeling Veras soft skin. She could feel a slight warmth between her legs from just touching her.
Vera put her dress back on. Shortly after the doctor knocked and came in. “Your blood results came back and you're negative for Hepatitis C, congratulations! Also the nurse told me but there's no lumps so you're good to go for that too.”
Vera jumped up and grabbed Joan and gave her a big hug. “Yes!” Vera cried out happily. Joan hugged her back and started to feel happy with Vera. Vera was hugging Joan so tight that Vera's face was pressed right in Joan's breasts because of their height difference. Vera didn't notice till the doctor gave her a look of amusement.
Vera backed up realizing that she was probably making Joan uncomfortable. She looked in Joans eyes and said, “I'm sorry.” She sounded ashamed until she felt hands pull her back in. They both smiled and remained hugging for a good two minutes. Joan started to caress Veras head giving one last squeeze she pulled away.
“I told you you would be fine.” Joan was happy for Vera
“I'm so glad that it's over and I can finally not feel like a bad person.” Vera started to tear up.
“Vera you were never a bad person.” Joan brought Vera in for another hug seeing as she was crying. “No need to be sad, you're free of that now you should be happy.”
Vera got herself together and smiled at Joan. “Let's get going.”
