I left the door open behind me still feeling the prick from the needle on my little finger. I pressed hard on the cotton wool the nurse had put on the little wound, and I felt the methylated spirit sting a little. I liked the feeling. Jerry closed the door and followed me as we sat down side by side. There were a few people in the room, we were the only couple there. The awkwardness of that! I had seen the confusion on the face of the nurse when we had entered her office. Your brother? she had asked. No. I replied calmly looking at her, My boyfriend. I saw the shock, and perhaps disgust on her face, she almost dropped her pen. I remained composed, I was used to that sort of thing anyway. So are you getting the test done together, as a..pair? Couple? Yes. said Jerry sliding his hand into mine. Well then, er, Mr and Mr.. Have you ever been tested before? I remained quite as Jerry took over, with his usual calm and thoughtfulness, going through all the necessities, while I just sat there feeling scared, and protected and lucky to have him. My Jerry. Someone else came into the waiting room, a beautiful girl at first, with short course hair that was locked, but very stylish and neat. She sat besides me and thats when I got a really close up of her. Her skin was somehow pale. She had these tiny white rash things spreading from her neck up her face, slowly. She had sores on the corners of her mouth, which gave out pus, for every now and then she took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. And she had a strange cough, it ruined her new age look. I got scared. What was this? What was I doing here anyway? I looked at Jerry and he didnt even notice me. I hadnt seen him that withdrawn before. Then it began settling into me. I thought of my own sores, at the mouth of my penis. There was this pain in my groin sometimes, I couldnt stand at times. And the recent bouts of vomiting, I couldnt understand. And when the doctor said I needed to go for the test, the biggest of them all, it had somehow sank. What was happening to me? But then Jerry was there and coming here had been easy. Now I didnt know. I didnt want to think. Mr and Mr! I suddenly got jerked out of my thoughts into the face of the nurse. Youre next. Come. I stood up to go. I made a few steps before realizing that Jerry wasnt with me. Baby? I said looking at him. He gave me his hand and then he stood up. Then he walked to me, very near to my ear and whispered to me, Im sorry Love. Forgive me. #the_known_author
