****Dr. Maraj in m/m****

AUGUST P.O.V. –

“And that is the entire office.” Dr. Maraj took me on a tour of the office. “Do you still want the job?”

“Of course.” I chuckled.

I really liked Dr. Maraj. I was surprised to find out how young she was. She was a little bit older than Amb, and I was surprised at how gorgeous she was. Honestly, I expected some old Arab lady. She was extremely down to earth. I got almost an older sister vibe from her, but she was about her business.

“Alright, just making sure babe. Some people I tend to scare away.” She said her nasally sort of tone of voice.

“Nah, I’m not scared.”

“For now.” She pointed at me. “But you will be. I’m hard on my employees, specifically those bright young minds that dream to become dentist like yourself. But it’s  only because I love you guys and want to sincerely see you succeed. Alright?”

“I hear you.” I rubbed my beard hair.

“Stop doing that. You’re trying to look cool, and its not working.”

I bursted into laughter.

“Now for the first couple of weeks, this will be your work station.” She tapped the front desk in the waiting area. “You’ll be collecting patient information. I expect you to be respectful to all patients, even those who are rude to you. Can you handle that?”

“Yeah.”

“And as the weeks progress, I’ll let you start prepping patients. Preparing them for procedures, and eventually, if you survive, I might let you assist on minor dental work.”

“I’ll survive.” I said confidently with a bright smile.

“Okay you seem pretty confident now. I want to see that same confidence two months in. Alright?’

“Yeah.”

“Now do you have any questions for me?”

“Nah I think you answered everything.”

“Okay then I expect to see you here tomorrow on time.”

“I will be here.”

“Alright, you have a nice day love.”

“Thank you. And nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too hun.” She smiled and walked me to the door.

I grabbed my book bag, left out the door and went to class.

AMBER P.O.V. –

I had just got Sata back to sleep and I was going to start on dinner when I heard a knock at the door. I went to get it. I was not excited about who was on the other side.

“What do you want Durrell?” I left him at the door and went to the kitchen to get dinner started.

“A little excitement that I came all the way from Atl to Philly to see you before I went on tour would be nice?”

“Well I’m not excited. And Aug’s going to be here in a few. And after being in class all day, I doubt he wants to see you.” I took the steaks out to prepare them.

“You know what I don’t respect. You making it seem like, I wasn’t right to defend you.”

“I don’t have a problem with you defending me, but you hit him. That was wrong. You could have took him to the side and said, “hey, I don’t appreciate what you did to my sister. I know y’all working on it, but if that happens again we gon have a problem or something.”
