DOCTORS (WATTYS2019)

LITTLE GREEN EYED MONSTER

Allen closed his eyes as he laid on the sofa and gasped as a shiver ran down his spine. He then opened his eyes and gazed into Veronica's who were fixed on him. "That's the way I like it," he said smiling.

She smiled. "You do? I can give you a little more than this."

He chuckled before he flashed a smile. "I won't say no to that."

"Just close your eyes and relax." Allen did as she said and closed his eyes and exhaled when he felt her lips touch the naked skin of his stomach. She then looked up at him briefly as he blissfully laid on the couch. "Who was it that called you earlier?"

Allen opened his eyes to look at Veronica "It was a follow up patient. She wanted to confirm an appointment for Monday."

"She?" she asked with a squint.

"It's a girl yes. She's a school girl, relax. I'm not interested," Allen replied with his eyes still closed. He felt Veronica's lips touch his skin again and she nibbled on his stomach with her teeth. It was then that he suddenly felt a stinging pain and yelled out before he looked at her alarmed. "You bit me! What the hell was that for?" He pressed his hand on the wound and then removed it to look at his hand alarmed. "I'm bleeding! Dammit! You bit me!" He got up from the sofa and grabbed his car keys from the coffee table next to him and looked at the wound feeling faint. "Are you going to take me to the hospital or not?" Allen looked down at the wound feeling somewhat woozy. "I'm gonna need stitches."

"You can drive yourself Allen."

"You bit me! I'm freaking bleeding! I can't drive like this. Either you take me to the hospital or I call an ambulance."

Allen's father peeked through the curtains drawn around his bed in ER and stepped through. Allen was visibly in pain and winced. Mitch looked at Veronica and then Allen and then Veronica again. "What happened?" Mitch looked at Allen's hand that covered the wound and the blood stains on his clothes as he attempted to cover it up on the way to the hospital. He was as pale as a ghost laying on the bed and let out a cry again. "Allen..."

"Dad..."

"On a scale of one to ten how much pain are you in?"

"Twenty..." Allen looked at Veronica who still seemed upset. "Why the hell did you bite me?"

"Let me see. Can we get some privacy please Veronica? You can wait in the waiting room. This won't take long."

"Sure," she replied upset.

Mitch assessed the wound and gave a hopeful nod. "I'm going to give you something for the pain, and you're lucky, it's basically only skin. You'll need stitches and I'm going to give you antibiotics and a tetanus shot too."

"Thanks."

"The first shot will hurt a little. Did you put ice on this?"

"No... I just wanted to stop the bleeding."

"You will see..."

"Dad, dad... " Allen interrupted his father. "I'm a doctor too. I know. And I know what to do."

"Sorry, I just got a little carried away."

Allen closed his eyes and winced as his father injected him with a pain killer. "Dammit!"

"Sorry son."

"Veronica is so damn jealous. I can't even see my patients without her losing her cool on me. And biting me..."

Mitch took out a suture kid and made a small prick near the wound. "Can you feel this?"

"No."

"Good. You're lucky it's just skin. But she did bite with force. Did you two have an argument?" The wound was just above the line of his boxers just below his navel.
