DOCTOR'S FEE INCIDENT 7
LAURA'S POV
The world is really small! The one I mistook for gay because of the clumsy voice is Doctor Tuason. Aha! Fate always loves to joke! Maybe that's why the car I rode broke down in that place because Doc Tuason and I were going to meet again. He is like his siblings, both good-looking. They even look alike! Why is it that he appears to be a different color than the other two? They are both white, whereas Doc Tuason's skin is brown! Now I know that Doc is also silly when he is out with his brothers. He's also a charmer! They are happy and silly siblings. Even though my place was crowded and smelled bad, they didn't show any signs of disgust. Too bad we haven't talked for a long time because it's not allowed here and Mang Milenio might yell at us. That old man is arrogant!
It's really fun. Too bad—I didn't even get Doctor Tuason's number or any social media accounts, so I could keep in touch and ask him about my bad condition sometimes.
Come on! Why is that? Why do I suddenly feel like---doc? Hooh! ... Anyone can be impressed by him. That person was very nice—too nice. I can't say enough about his kind heart. I still want to get to know him completely, and I think he's gay. The way he speaks, gestures with his hands,
When can I see him again? Where is he now? Maybe he's home.
PEOPLE WERE ALREADY looking at them because Clyde was drunk and was making a lot of noise. The place is packed, but because it's a public bar, everyone is used to that kind of scene.
"Fuck! Tej! Go ahead! Take me there!" Clyde yelled while pointing in a direction.
The two help Clyde get into the car.
"Alright, Tej! Claudie!" Clyde shouted again.
Claudie frowned. "What the hell is he doing? You're embarrassing, Doc." She even scratched her head swiftly. "Lesson learned! Never get a doctor wasted! He's immune to hospital alcohol, not the toxic type! Haha!" Claudie laughed aloud.
Tejie just laughs. "Leave him alone! That idiot can only be like that once in a while! He was happy! Over fuckin' joyed!"
They got Clyde into the car, and he was lying in the backseat, wiggling like an itchy worm.
"Stop that attitude, bruh! When Irene finds out about that, she'll knock you out!" Tejie cried out.
"Stop fuckin' saying her name! I don't want to hear it! Where the hell is she? Do you have any idea where she is right now?" Clyde keeps on shouting. "She's with her fuckin' Indian doctor! She was with him there in Cebu! The fuck! Stop saying her fuckin' name!"
Claudie and Tejie paused for a second when they heard what Clyde told them.
"Come on, you're drunk! Stop telling stories!" Tejie became calm.
"Fuck, Tej! I'm not making up stories! You know me!" Clyde responded, his eyes welling up.
"Really? Why—didn't you tell us right away? Why keep it?" Claudie said, sadly.
They fell silent for a minute. Then…
"Take me to Laura, Tej! Come on, I want to see her," Clyde calmly said. "I prayed for this for so long."
"Let's go home so you can sleep, Clyde," said Tejie, starting the car's engine.
Clyde grabbed his t-shirt. "Fuck! Tej, I said, take me there!" He shouted again.
"Where? You're drunk, Clyde!" Tejie is getting pissed.
"You shouldn't have been drinking, brother. If we only knew that you had a problem, we'd better just stay at home. Why didn't you tell us about that?" Claudie said.
"Tej, take me there!"
"Where's that there, Clyde?"
"To Laura! Take me to Laura! I want to talk to Laura!" Clyde shouted.
The two looked at each other.
"What?" Clyde's voice was louder. He keeps on hitting Teji's seat. "Fuck Tej, I said, take me to Laura! I've been waiting so long to see Laura again! I want to talk to her!" He keeps on rattling Tejies' seat. "Take me there! To Lauraaaa!" He shouted again, and his voice echoed inside the car.
"Yes, okay! Calm down! I'll take you there. Calm down, Clyde!" Tejie said, looking at Claudie.
Clyde immediately calmed down like a child and lay down in the backseat.
The two whispered. "Let's go home, Tej. He can sleep now." Claudie said.
But…
"You fuckers! I told you to take me to Laura!" Clyde suddenly shouted, getting up again. They thought it was asleep."What's wrong, Tej?"
"You're going to see Laura like that drunk! The fuck Doc!" shaking his head.
3: A.M.
LAURA WAS SURPRISED by the loud knock on her door. It's good that she's still awake, and when she takes a look at her phone to see the time,
"3 a.m., for real? It's—it's Gwen, I'm sure!" She muttered. "What does this woman need? Maybe she has brought a man home again and she doesn't have hot water for their coffee," she said as she approached the door.
A few more knocks in a row...
"Wait a minute! Coming!" she shouted.
And when Laura opened the door, she was…
"Huh? Do—Doc?"
She was surprised to see who was hiccuping as it leaned against the side of her door.
"Doc—"
"Laura—"
The two stared at each other for a while. Laura saw how Clyde's gaze crawled from her head to her toes. She was just wearing a thin and short nightgown and had no bra, so her healthy breasts were a bit showy. They kept on staring at each other. Laura also couldn't stop staring at the young man's eyes because, apart from being handsome, Clyde also had good posture and a good physique. No denying that he's a perfect young build.
Until…
"Doc, you're drunk," she said in a low voice.
Clyde didn't speak nor smile. Instead, he entered Laura's room and closed the door as an answer.
