After Josh gave me a physical, he took me to the hospital pharmacy to pick up my prescription. On our way out of the hospital, a tall, dark haired man called Josh's name. He turned, "Justin, how you doing?" Justin smiled a friendly smile, showcasing perfect teeth. "I'm good man, I didn't think I'd see you here today. Patient give birth or something?" Josh laughed. "No I just left some charts in my office and had to pick them up." I'm glad he never told him I had a physical, I don't need another doctor- well I assume he's a doctor, he's in scrubs in a hospital- fussing over me.

Josh then places his hand on my back and wraps his arm around my waist, tucking me into his side. "Sophie, this is my friend Justin." I smile shyly and he beam's at me. "Sophie, hello! Its so nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you." My face flames at the fact he has heard about me, so I assume Josh has spoken to him about me. He holds out his hand to shake with a smile and I return the gesture.

"It's nice to meet you too, do you work with Josh?" I question politely, he seems really friendly and I want Josh's friends to like me. "No, Justin works over in the dental side of the hospital. He's actually my dentist." Josh laughs the last bit out. I cower at the word dentist. Uh, I want to get out of here, I don't need to be seeing a dentist as well as a doctor today- that's just too much. "Yeah, that's why you have great teeth, and don't you forget it buddy." Justin jokes. "Hey, I swear I saw you on the patient list for next week, wanna go for a beer afterwards?" Justin questions.

"Yeah I'm in at 04.30 for a cleaning on Friday, so we could go to benny's?" Josh agrees, his fingers lightly stroking my hip bone through my leggings. "Sure, you'll be my last patient anyway." Justin agrees then looks to me. "You in Sophie? That way I can spill all of Josh's embarrassing stories, that I'm sure he'll never tell you." Justin laughs, smiling to me. I don't really want to be around an intimidating dentist, but he is Josh's friend and actually seems very nice. I just don't want to gatecrash their boys night. "Uh are you sure? I don't want to intrude."

"Of course your coming baby, you could never intrude." Josh reassures me as he looks down smiling encouragingly, he rubs my back and kisses the top of my head. "Yeah Sophie, I need to get to know Josh's girlfriend better! Plus, they have some awesome chicken wings and fries." He smiles trying to persuade you. "And I'll totally distract Josh while you order them, so he cant go all health freak on you and his doctor-mode telling you to chose something healthier." He laughs and Josh rolls his eyes.

"I'm not that bad." Josh shakes his head smiling- amused. I giggle knowing Josh is a little bit of a health freak and I've never seen him eat junk food. "Okay, but I'm defiantly trying these wings and fries now." I smile at Josh teasing. "Great Justin look what you've started." Josh teases back and I laugh, knowing he is only joking. He leans down and presses his lips to my head. "I'm just kidding baby, you can have whatever you like." He says against my temple, leaving a kiss there before he pulls back.

"Great, I've got to get back to work, but I'll see you guys Friday." Justin smiles as he says his goodbyes and Josh and I walk towards his car hand in hand. "Are you sure you don't mind me coming with you guys? I don't wanna ruin your 'guys' night." I say swinging our hands between us as we approach Josh's car. "Baby you could never ruin anything, Justin wouldn't have asked if he didn't mean it and I always want you with me." He smiles as he open the passenger door for me. "Don't worry baby, we will have a good time and if you want to leave, we will leave." He kisses my cheek and closes the door once I am buckled in.

He is so sweet, he made me feel so comfortable during the physical and actually made it painless, despite my now aching arm. I love that I have a genuine connection with Josh and I think I'm actually falling for him. He is holding my hand as he drives, my music playing in the background- Josh always lets me connect my phone so I can choose the music. "You hungry baby? Do you want go go for lunch?" He pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm pretty hungry." I smile at him. He smiles back and asks "What do you feel like eating?" He strokes the back of my hand with his thumb as he concentrates on the road. "Surprise me." I smile, knowing he always lets me choose what we eat and I want him to get a chance.

He ends up taking me to a sushi restaurant because we both love seafood, Josh sat right next to me and put his arm around me. He was softly stroking the arm he gave me a shot in. "Is your arm still sore baby?" He asks me, looking intently into my eyes, making sure I'm not in any pain or discomfort. "No its just a little achy, I'm okay." I smile to let him know I'm fine.

"I grabbed some ibuprofen whilst in the pharmacy earlier, I put them in your bag with your prescription." He takes my bag off the back of my chair and places it in my lap. "Take two and it will reduce the swelling and hopefully stop the stiff feeling." He says as he brings my glass of water closer to me on the table. I thank him and pull the pills out of my bag. I put one in my mouth and Josh brings the water to my lips, even though I can do it with the arm that isn't hurting. He does the same with the next pill I put in my mouth.

We eat lunch and decide to go for a walk around the park. Towards the end of the walk I start to feel a bit drowsy and sick, Josh must notice that I'm not feeling great, because he cuts through the park to get us back to the car quicker. On the way home- well Josh's home, I keep referring to Josh's home like its mine, its because I feel so comfortable there- Josh keeps looking over to me a little worried and he is constantly rubbing my thigh. I close my eyes and lean my head against the window, trying to control the urge of being sick in Josh's car.

"You okay baby?" Josh asks me after the 5 minute ride from the park back to his house. He has opened my door and is crouching down in front of me. I open my eyes and look at him as he reaches over to unbuckle my seat belt for me. "Yeah I just feel a little drowsy and like I want to be sick but its going away a little now." I tell him truthfully. He furrows his eyebrows and places a gentle hand on my head, checking to see if I have a fever.

"Your a little warm but I don't think you have a fever. Common, lets get you inside. Its probably the vaccine sweetheart, sometime it can make you feel a bit icky afterwards." He helps me out of the car and into the house. He gets me settled onto his couch and leaves me for a second. He returns with a glass of water and a thermometer in his hand. "I doubt your sick baby, you just had a physical a couple of hours ago and your completely healthy. I'm just going to double check to see if you have picked something up in the last hour." Josh chuckles the last part out making me smile- it seems ridiculous but it is something that would happen to me- I'm just that clumsy and unlucky.

He crouches in front of me as I sit on the couch, I feel better now I just feel drowsy. "Open for me baby." He smiles when I do as I'm told and he places the thermometer under my tongue. "Just leave that there for a minute cutie." He smiles at me as his fingers gently stroke over my cheek. The thermometer beeps and he takes it out of my mouth and checks the reading.

"Yeah, your okay, no fever. Its just the shot baby, do you wanna take a nap? You will feel a lot better once you wake up." Josh tilts his head as he talks to me, quietly and softly. I nod my head and hold my arms out to him, signaling I want to be held. He smiles at me. "Common then cutie." He says as he picks me up and then places me on his lap, my side pressed to his front. I curl into him, my head resting on the arm he has under my head to support me and I press my face further into his chest the breath in his cologne.

The TV plays quietly in the background and Josh's hand rubs soothing circles on my stomach, lulling me to sleep.

-

I wake up still on Josh's lap covered in the blanket that was on the back of the couch before I fell asleep. I look up to Josh's handsome face and see he is watching football on the TV, he must feel me move because he looks down at me and smiles his perfect smile. "Hey cutie, good nap?" He asks me softly, I yawn and nod my head smiling softly up at him. "How long was I asleep?" I ask him, his arm still supporting my head, how one would hold a baby. "Not long sweetie, just over an hour." He pushes the baby hair off of my face and gently tucks them behind my ear. "You so beautiful." He whispers, kissing my forehead and my cheeks flame bright red.

Josh chuckles at my shyness and lack in ability to take compliments. "Are you feeling better baby?" Josh asks my rubbing my back as I sit up. "Mhm, a lot better." I smile at him. "I told you that you would." He smirks- smart ass. "Have we got any ice cream?" I question, smiling cheekily at him, I'm craving something sweet. He tilts his head and smiles back at me "No but we can go to the store or ice cream place in the city, or I have some mango gelato in the freezer." He is such a health freak that the closest thing he has to ice cream is gelato, although I'm not complaining because mango gelato is my favorite.

"Mango gelato defiantly." I beam, he chuckles and stands. He leans down and picks me up from the couch and I wrap my legs around his waist and arms around his neck. He pats my but and I laugh as he walks us through to his kitchen and places me on the surface next to his chopping board. He gets out two bowls and spoons and grabs the sorbet. Once he filled our bowls he picks me up by the waist and places my feet gently on the floor. He carries our bowls back into the Living room and we sit on the couch watching The Breakfast Club- because its one of my favorite movies.

I start to eat my sorbet and cringe as the cold touches my teeth- I've always had sensitive teeth and it ruins ice cream and freezing cold and hot drinks for me because I can never enjoy them with this pain. "You okay sweetheart?" Josh questions me and I open my eyes after the pain dulls down and look over to him, nodding my head. "Yeah its just cold." I smile. I take another scoop into my mouth and cringe again. I didn't notice Josh watching me now and I look over to his concerned face. "Is it your teeth hurting you baby?" He asks as he rubs my leg.

"There just a little sensitive to cold that's all- I'm okay." I reassure him. "Well why don't you get a check-up and cleaning with me on Friday? We will be stopping there before we go to benny's so I can get a check up and cleaning so you might as well get one too. Justin can probably help you out with that sensitivity whilst were there as well." No way in hell am I seeing a dentist. I fucking hate the place with a passion! I should have seen this coming earlier, when I found out Justin is a dentist and Josh is a health freak so he would have probably made me an appointment at some point.

"Um no thankyou." I look away, avoiding eye contact and watch the movie. The movie pauses and I look at Josh. "Common baby, Justin is really gentle, I promise and I'm going to be right there. There's nothing to worry about, he will just clean your teeth and check to make sure they are all healthy- it wont hurt." He says softly as he pushes lose hairs behind my ear. "But I hate going to the dentist Josh, its scary."

"There's nothing to be scared of baby, I'll be holding your hand the entire time and I'll go first so you can see there's nothing to be afraid of." He smiles reassuringly and I sigh knowing when it comes to my health there is no arguing with Josh so I'm going to have to suck it up and deal with it. Realistically I know Josh will never let anyone hurt me so I know I'll be fine and Justin actually seems like a really nice guy who would give out free hug coupons. I mutter an agreement and Josh kisses my head and tells me everything will be okay. I hope it will be.
