Franchesca's pov
I awoke to the sound of my alarm going off. I slammed my hand down on it, to put it off and then checked the time which read 7:00 am. God why did I have to set my alarm so early? I thought to myself. I covered my head with the duvet and snuggled into the blankets.
"Franchesca! Get up, we're going to be late!" My mom yelled as she barged into my room. "Ugh why did you have to make my appointment so early?" I asked annoyed rolling over onto my back. "It was the only time they could take you. He's fully booked with patients." She said whilst giving me a serious tone and then left my room, allowing me to get ready.
I got up and got dressed before heading down stairs to the kitchen to get myself something to eat. "Good morning love. How far are you? We wouldn't want to be late." My dad asked while coming into the kitchen and embracing me in a tight hug. "Yeah yeah, I'm almost done." I told him.
Today I have a dentist appointment with some new dentist in town. My parents are hell bent on not being late because they don't want to make a bad first impression. Yeah right. We're always late for everything. I bet he's some old guy that has nothing better to do with his time.
I finished my breakfast, and went up stairs to brush my teeth. To he honest, I hate dentist appointments. I can't stand the fact of sitting in that chair with all the orthodontic tools surrounding me.
- Skip the car ride -
To my surprise, we actually got there on time. We filled in some forms and then waited for a few minutes before going into the office to be met by probably one of the most attractive looking men in my life so far.
"Hi. I'm Doctor Bradley Simpson. And you must be Franchesca." He said in an adorable British accent. For a minute there; my tongue went completely numb and I just stood there like a complete idiot. He chuckled at me and then took my hand and shook it. That was it for me. "Hi." Was all I managed to get out. I felt even more nervous now because my parents were giving me funny looks. As if they were embarrassed. I'm pretty sure I was going to get a lecture from them on the car ride home about it. He guided me to a seat along side my parents and across from him.
"How old are you Doctor? You look so young?" My mom asked and I immediately mentally face palmed myself at her question. "I'm twenty three ma'am." He replied chuckling and then looked at me with a smirk. "Oh, please. Call me Veronica." She said as I shook my head at her. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents, it's just that they can be pretty embarrassing at times.
"So, getting back to the patient." He announced, making him and I chuckle in unison. "Franchesca, how old do you say you are?" He asked, intently staring at me. "I'm 16." I answered. He nodded and then scribbled it down. "And have you had any previous surgeries in regards to your mouth?" He asked. I shook my head no. "Okay and one last question. Are you on any medication at the moment?" He asked again. I nodded my head yes. "Yes. Umm anti depressants." I answered. I always felt uncomfortable talking about it. It's not a topic I'm really open to talking about. "Okay, you can come with me into the examination room. You two can stay here we won't be too long." He said to my parents and then guided me to the rather secluded examination room.
I sat down on the chair, as he put his gloves on. "So, why did you decide to become a dentist? I mean, it's not the most hygienic job out there." I asked trying to make conversation with him. He chuckled. "Open your mouth for me." I did as he said and he began examining my mouth. "Well, I guess it just always stood out to me. When I was younger, I had braces, so I always wanted to see what it's like to work with those things." He replied. I nodded slightly.
He made eye contact with me, and at that moment I just wanted to grab his face and kiss him, but I couldn't. Honestly, how can someone be so hot and so young and still be off limits at the same time?! "So, have you ever had a boyfriend before?" He suddenly asks and catches me off guard. Shit. Why's he asking this? I thought to myself. "No, not yet." I replied sighing. "Really? A girl as beautiful as you and no boyfriend? How?" He asked, removing his hands from my mouth and I sat up. "I don't know. I guess guys just aren't really into me. I haven't got much to offer." I reply looking down. He comes to stand in between my legs and lifts up my chin so I'm looking at him. "You seem like an amazing girl." He says, his eyes flickering between my eyes and lips. He then leans in as do I for some reason. His lips graze mine, but I push him off before anything else can happen. As much as I wanted that, I think we need to keep it professional. He nods as me as if he read my mind and then we exit before heading back into the room with my parents.
"Well, everything seems good with Fran here's mouth." He announces to my parents, and then smiled at me. I blushed a bit at the nickname he gave me. "Alright. If that's all, then we'll be seeing you Doctor." My dad says as they stand up and shake his hand and head toward the door while I follow.
Just before I exited his office, he grabbed my wrist and spun me around to face him and then slipped a piece of paper into my hand. "Text me later yeah?" He said and then winked at me. Blush crept onto my face and then I nodded. He smiled whilst looking deep into my eyes. "Well I better umm... get going." I sighed, releasing his hand and then turned and left his office at last.
The car ride home consisted of me replaying everything that had just happened and squeezing my legs together just at the thought of him.
