It was a cool September morning as Lauren Pierce just arrived at her work. Lauren is a 24 year old physical therapist who was a recent college graduate in the top 5 of her class. She landed a job only 2 months after graduation at a really nice medical facility. Once she walked through the front doors, she greeted the receptionists like usual as she made her way to her office.
Lauren is a very polite and petite person. Standing at 4' 11" and about 100lbs, her tiny frame got a lot of attention from men. Even though her uniform does a good job of covering her breasts, her ass on the other hand get a lot more looks. Lauren sports a gorgeous bubble butt and she flaunts it very well.
While getting ready for her appointments, she goes through the schedule and notices that her last appointment for the day was canceled. Slightly relieved, she thought it would be a great opportunity to leave work early and head over to the Karl Hall in Wilkes-Barre to see an indie punk-rock band perform...maybe even meet some cute single guys there. It's been almost a year now since Lauren's last relationship ended. She had caught him cheating on her while she was in college. She hasn't dated or slept with anyone since. Lauren had been to a few bars more so in the past few months, but none of the guys there really got her attention. She wasn't too worried about it, her mind had been on her new job that she enjoyed.
As she took a sip of her Starbucks drink, she began to read her emails and soon got ready for the first appointment of the day. Right before Lauren greeted her first patient, her iPhone began to ring. As she flipped over her phone to take a look at who was calling, she let out a sigh and answered the phone.
"Hey sis, what's up?" Lauren answered. It was her younger sister Erika. "Heyyyy girl! How's your job going?" Erika replied. Lauren rolled her eyes as she heard of this tone before. Her sister Erika tends to stress words out and that usually lead to her wanting something and it would typically be something inconvenient too.
"It's going well, really busy actually. Listen, not to be rude but I am on my way to see a patient, can we talk later?" Lauren asked. Her sister responded quickly with a worrisome tone. "Oh...okay. I.... Sorry. I really hate to ask but I have a huge favor and it's an emergency." Lauren sighed silently and then asked her sister what was going on.
"It's Jake...he got injured really badly at football practice last night and he is still hurting. He tried to sleep it off but he is still having a hard time moving." Erika nervously explained. "Have you given him any medication?" Lauren asked.
"We used some ointment and he smoked some weed to relax but that was it." Erica responded. Lauren let out a sigh and thought about it for a few minutes. If it weren't for the cancellation of her last appointment, she could have been honest about being booked and sent them elsewhere else. Feeling guilty, she then says "Okay, I do have a spot open later on today at 4pm. I can pencil him in there and I'll see what I can do."
"You are the best!" Erika shouted excitedly while also sounding relieved. She then thanked Lauren and hung up the phone. Lauren rolled her eyes and then took another sip from her white chocolate latte and headed toward the front lobby to greet her patient.
Throughout the day, Lauren continued to see patient after patient. Most of the patients had sprained ankles or stiff necks. She treated them rather quickly and sent them on their way. About 10 minutes before 4pm, Lauren was finishing up with a patient when she looked out the window and noticed her sister's car pulling into the parking lot. After Lauren was done with the patient, she escorted her patient to the lobby. While talking to the receptionists, Erika walks in with Jake.... And everyone stared at Jake.
Jake is a 6' 10" football player who could easily pass as a strongman from Iceland. He's not scrawny or lean but kinda stout and muscular. He was limping very slowly like he injured his leg or stepped on something sharp. As they got closer I could see the glaze in his eyes. He definitely looked like he smoked a fat blunt on the car ride over here. Lauren quickly grabbed a clip board and asked her sister and Jake to follow her hoping nobody noticed him being high.
