5 The Big Bad Wolf

Pulling up at a medical centre he got out quickly as she bent to grab up her bag shoving the contents back into it roughly. Her car door opened, and he stood there watching her for a moment, "Leave the rest we can get it when we are done." He took her hand and pulled her from the car, ushering her before him into the waiting room, "Is Mr. Jack on?" He asked the receptionist, who nodded, "Good tell him I will be in surgery 2." Changying felt powerless as he propelled her forward again.

"Up there," he pointed to an exam table and he went to a small fridge coming back with an ice pack, "Here use this," he took the coke can from her hand as a young doctor rushed through the door.

Jack looked over at the two of them, assessing that there was no real emergency he walked to a nearby bench, "So who do we have here, new girl," he paused briefly before adding, "friend?"

"Not yet," Wang shrugged.

"I see. So what's the problem?" Jack pulled on gloves and walked toward them.

"It was lunch time, a nice smell was emanating from the kitchen I went to check it out and ran into her spilling the food down her chest as you can see," Wang seemed to be speaking for her now she realised.

"Let me have a look then, Miss." Changying lowered her hands with icepack, "Mm that is nasty. Can you take the top of your dress down please?"

Changying looked at Wang and blushed.

"Perhaps you should wait outside, Wang. Seems Miss uh..."

"Changying, Changying Ma," she mumbled.

"Seems Miss Ma is a bit shy, or she is scared of you," Jack smirked at his friend. "You go grab some lunch. I will look after her until you get back. And don't spill it on anyone this time."

Wang raised an eyebrow at Changying and turned walking from the room without a word.

Jack smiled at Changying, "Okay little red, the big bad wolf is gone. Let me look at you."

Changying smiled but said nothing as she slowly lowered the back zip and slid the dress top from her shoulders, down her arms and let it hang from her waist.

Jack had a goofy humour and charm that put Changying at ease. As he caressed the skin of her breasts, he kept up a constant stream of questions to divert her attention away from what he was doing. Finally he stepped back, "Only one or two spots are deep. You were lucky." He walked away to gather some burn cream and with his back turned to her, he asked the more personal questions, "How long has it been since your last physical?"

Changying blushed she was a healthy girl. She never went to the doctor unless there was no other choice. Chunhua had screwed over their last doctor, and Changying hadn't gotten around to finding a new one of her own to avoid the inevitable questions about Chunhua, returning to her childhood GP would elicit. "My GP moved away," she lied, "and I haven't gotten around to finding a new one yet."

"That doesn't really answer my question, Miss Ma," he continued to probe.

She gulped, "It's been a while," she hedged.

He scooted over to her on a stool with wheels and looked at her appraisingly. Holding out his hand to her he grinned, "Hello Miss. I am Doctor Wei, your new GP. Now lets get some initial tests run and keep you in the best of health and I will just send the bill to the big bad wolf that brought you in."

"Oh no," Changying balked at the idea, "I have health insurance I can pay, honestly."

"Alright, but it takes some of the fun out of it for me." Jack pouted exaggeratedly. "Let's get the blood drawn first. You're sexually active, I assume?"

'Wait' she thought, 'did I just agree to a full exam?' Out loud she said "Yes, but I am not sure I have time for this today. Wang will be waiting."

"Plenty of time, any chance you're pregnant?" Jack went on unperturbed.

"No." Changying said emphatically, "It's hard enough looking after Chunhua who is like a child."

Jack raised an eyebrow at her, and she shook her head, "Forget it," she sighed. She liked the doctor and gave in to the physical fairly easily.
