She was cut off by the doctor entering the room. Juelz finally settled down, tossing her a wink, whispering, “I’ma get that pussy, girl.”Tasha waved him off, signaling for him to hush, as her chest tightened. The fear of what the doctor was about to say pressed down on her, heavier than the thin paper gown clinging to her skin.
The doctor glanced between them, smiling politely, but his eyes stuck to the chart in his hand. “Ms. Hayes, your test results came back.”
Tasha straightened on the table, fingers gripping the torn gown like it might hold her together. Juelz leaned back in the chair, eyes glued to the doctor.
The doctor cleared his throat, eyes still on the chart. “Your pregnancy test came back negative. But based on the pain you’re describing and some of your symptoms, we’ll need to run a few additional tests to figure out what’s going on.”
Tasha sat up straighter, her mind wandering. She already knew that test was gon’ say that but hearing it from him still stung a little.
The doctor continued, flipping the page. “We’ll do a Pap smear today and collect some cervical swabs to check for any infection or abnormalities. It’s routine, nothing to be nervous about. Then you will go down the hall to get a transvaginal ultrasound.”
Juelz sat back, eyebrows raised, that grin creeping in. “Oh, so we goin’ duck huntin’, huh?”
The doctor blinked, confused. “Excuse me? What’s that?”
Tasha closed her eyes and exhaled hard. “Don’t mind him. He was one of the kids left behind in school. Been playin’ catch up ever since.”
Juelz snorted, half embarrassed. “You betta watch that shit, girl.”
She side-eyed him. “Save the threats for later. Right now, hush and let this man do his job.”
The doctor cleared his throat again, clearly regretting letting them both back there at the same time. “I’ll step out now. My PA will be in shortly to assist with the exam. Try to relax. We’ll get you some answers soon.”
He departed promptly, clearly indicating his desire to avoid any more involvement in the situation.
A few minutes later, a young woman in navy blue scrubs stepped in, mid-30s, maybe, with a slick ponytail and latex gloves already snapped on.
“Hi, Ms. Hayes. I’m Natasha, the physician assistant. I’ll be performing your Pap smear and collecting a few swabs, alright?”
Tasha nodded, already adjusting herself on the table with a sigh. “Yeah… let’s just get it over with.”
Natasha smiled gently, pulling the stirrups out and locking them in place. “You’ve done this before, I’m sure, so you know the drill, knees up, scoot down just a bit…”
Juelz stayed seated at first, but as soon as the PA positioned herself between Tasha’s legs, he stood and slowly walked around behind her, hands in his pants pockets, eyes wide like he was watching a damn performance.
Tasha side-eyed him from the table. “Juelz…”
He ignored her, now standing directly behind the PA, who was too focused on her work to notice him at first.
Then he started.
First, the slow lip bite. Then he lifted both hands like he was stroking an invisible penis. Eyebrows up, then biting his knuckle like he was trying not to moan. He even made a little "Mmm!" sound under his breath.
Tasha’s eyes bugged.“JUE!”
He kept going now pretending to fan himself like he was getting hot.
“Juelz, get the fuck OUT!” she snapped, pointing toward the door with one hand while trying not to burst out laughing. “Go! Now!”
The PA paused mid-swab, glancing back. “Everything okay?”
Tasha covered her face. “He’s fine. Just stupid.”
Juelz backed up slowly, hands up like he was innocent. “Man, I was tryna support you, girl.”
“Support ya nuts. Take your horny ass to the waiting room!”
“Damn,” he muttered, smirking as he walked out. “You ain’t gotta kick me outta the room like that.”
