the book (hosie)

the doctor is in

Josie sat alone in one of the wards of the Watchpoint's medical center. She was wearing some casual clothes she normally kept for the seldom times she left the Watchpoint. It was fairly late now; almost everyone was asleep. Well, almost, and not just Josie.

It had been several hours since Hope had shown the book to Josie. She did look into it, despite her obvious embarrassment. Flipping through the pages, Josie found that each page held a scenario, from the ordinary to the extremely graphic.

Finally, Josie decided that there would be no avoiding it, and she picked one. She texted Hope, who enthusiastically responded back saying how she would make sure everything is ready. All Josie had to do was show up.

Josie stood awkwardly in the center of the room when a small screen next to the door powered on. A blue letter 'A' appeared, signaling that Athena, the Watchpoint's AI, was online.

"Josie saltzman?" she asked.

"Yes," Josie answered.

"Doctor mikelson will be by shortly for your physical," Athena said.

Josie's face reddened. "Thank you." The display turned off, once again leaving Josie in the deafening silence. Suddenly, she could hear the clicking of heals outside in the hallway.

Josie took a deep breath. "Be confident, Jos," she told herself. "You're doing this because Hope thought it would be a good idea. You never know, it might not be that bad."

Taking another deep breath and straightening her back, Josie stood and looked around the room in curiosity, just like almost any patient she had. "Time to get into character," Josie thought.

"Miss saltzman?"

Josie jumped and turned around. ho- 'Doctor mikelson' was standing in the open doorway.

"Oh, Doctor mikelson. I didn't hear you arrive," Josie said, her voice wavering slightly.

"I was told that there was a patient here. I almost forgot today was your physical," Hope explained.

Josie nodded and fiddled with her fingers. "Well, here I am."

The older woman smiled. "Well, if that's the case, let's get started." She fully entered the room and closed the door. She asked Josie to sit down on the examination table and she began.

Hope first checked Josie's heartbeat, making sure to move her hand teasingly across Josie's breasts as she did. Next, she tested Josie's reflexes. When she did, the redheaded woman lightly caressed the blonde's lower thighs and calves.

Each touch made Josie jump slightly. Hope noticed how tense she was and would respond with, "Relax, Miss saltzman. I'm a doctor."

That statement alone made Josie blush even more.

Hope finished the "physical" and said, "Well, Miss saltzman, you seem to be in perfect health so far, but I'm going to need to conduct a more thorough examination."

Josie nodded understandingly. "What do you need me to do?"

"Strip," Hope answered.

"What?" Josie asked in confusion. "That wasn't part of my physical last year."

Hope placed her hands on her hips. "Now if you don't want me to fully complete this examination, that's fine by me. But I must say, I thought you took your personal health seriously, Miss saltzman."

Josie frantically nodded her head. "I do."

Hope crossed her arms. "Well, doctor's orders, Miss saltzman."
