Toxic

Chapter 22

November 5th, 2019

With Thanksgiving slowly approaching, Denver was planning a big family dinner at her new home. Holidays were usually hosted at her parents house, but she wanted to be the host this year and Althea didn't mind at all. Althea couldn't wait to get her hands on Denver's fancy kitchen appliances.

"Okay CJ I'm walking in the doctor's office, I'm gonna call you back" hanging up the phone, she walked up to the front desk and checked in for her appointment. She'd gotten test a few weeks back, but she was going to get it done again today. It was time for her yearly exam anyways so it wouldn't hurt to put her mind to ease. After discovering that Semaj was indeed a gay man, she was at the clinic the following Monday getting every STD screening they had. Denver still couldn't believe Semaj hid his double life from her so well, she was usually good at picking up on shit like that.

"Williams" the nurse called. Denver stood to her feet, tossing her phone into her coat pocket. The nurse weighed her, and showed her to her assigned exam room.

"The restroom is right next to your room, there are cups and wipes already inside. Bring your sample back into this room and sit it on the counter. When you come back, undress and put on this paper gown."

Denver placed her purse and coat into the chair, then headed for the restroom. When she got inside, like always, they had everything a woman could need placed neatly on a caddy. She grabbed two of the wipe packets along with a plastic cup and placed it on the counter next to the toilet. In any other instance, she would never sit her ass down on a public toilet but trying to squat and catch pee would only end in disaster. She grabbed down multiple paper seat covers and lined the toilet plenty before pulling her pants down. She used the two wipe packets to wipe from front to back and threw them in the trash before popping the cap on the urine cup to relieve her bladder. She washed her hands, headed back to her room with a paper towel covered urine cup, and sat it in its rightful place on the counter. She quickly got undressed and changed, then cracked the door to her exam room let the staff know she was ready.

Knocking on the door, the same blonde nurse that called her back came inside "I'm just going to take your blood pressure, test your urine, and the lab is going to get some blood samples from you okay?"

Releasing the pressure from the cuff, the nurse frowned slightly before speaking again. "Are you okay?? Your pressure is on the high side today"

"A little stress here and there, but I feel fine"

The nurse documented everything she needed as she checked the results from the urine stick. "So Dr. Roberts should be in shortly, she'll go ahead and do your swab along with your Pap smear"

"Thank you" 

It wasn't long before Dr. Roberts had finished both her Pap smear and swab. Denver got herself back dressed before heading out to the lab for her blood work. Once she was finished, she was leaving out of the office planning to make a trip to get food.

"What's up love" CJ answered the phone

"Is it your break time yet? I'm hungry"

"Ha! Oh now you wanna eat with me? Just yesterday you was acting stank as hell" The only reason she was acting that way was because she felt herself falling more and more for him everyday, she was scared as hell but who wouldn't be? After all that she went through, she didn't know if it was a good idea to get back up on the saddle, but it seemed like the feelings she had for CJ was swallowing her up whole and there was no stopping it.

"I'm sorry, but I'm still hungry"

"Such a fucking brat man, what we eating? You paying since you wanted to treat me like a side hoe yesterday"
