“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” I stated, laughing. I looked out the window and saw Marks’ car pull up along the street across from the coffee shop just outside some apartments and he hopped out. I saw a woman come to the apartment door to let him in and my eyes widened as she practically hurled herself into his arms, making out with him in the doorway. Amy noticed my reaction and looked out the window and I heard her gasp. “What in the world is he doing over there?”
With a sour look, I rolled my eyes and picked up my coffee cup. After taking a drink of it, I added, “Making out with another woman after begging me to stay and telling me that he can’t lose me. Seems to me what he can’t lose is his extracurricular activities with other women, and the sad part is that she is not the same woman I saw in our bed the other day.” Amy looked at me shocked and started tearing up, “Jessie, I am so sorry! I feel like this is my fault because I pushed you to go on the blind date which brought you to this point. I would not have asked you to pretty much give him another chance if I knew all of this, I swear!” She started crying and I got up and went over to give her a hug and said, “Amy, this is all on Mark. This is not my fault, your fault, or Deans. He made his choices and now he will have to deal with the repercussions of his actions.” As I stated this to her, I made a mental note to make an appointment with my doctor to get a STI screening and to get my records to take with me.
We finished our coffee and visited for awhile before calling it a day. Amy promised to have a discussion with Dean and then she said she would come to my hotel to help me start getting things in order for my move, promising to have Dean’s help since there would be things we need his help on. I walked to my car and drove to my hotel ready for this day to be done.
As the days went by, I was checking things off my list of preparations for the move. I was able to talk to all of my students and their parents about my departure (needless to say they were not happy with me leaving), I finalized things with my apartment, signed my lease and set a move in date, made a list of what I needed to get from my place with Mark and what was left to purchase. I also made sure everything was taken care of with my new employer, so as soon as I got settled in Thomasville I was ready to start my new job. Right now, I was taking care of the one detail I was not looking forward to as much as I sat and waited for Dr. Thomas to come in for my exam. “Jessie, how are you doing? What can I help you with today?” Dr. Thomas said as he walked in.
“Hello, I am doing pretty good. I am here for an exam today. I wanted to get this all done before I moved, and I also needed to sign any releases you may need from me as soon as I establish a doctor in Georgia.” I stated. I know I will have to explain the type of exam I need but I was delaying it as long as possible because this is embarrassing for me. Never did I think I was going to have to ask for this since marrying Mark.
“I’m confused Jessie? I am looking at my records here and you are not due for an exam yet. Is there a reason you are asking for this today?” I took a deep breath and with a tear making its way down my cheek I finally shared. “I found out recently my husband has been cheating on me with a number of women and I need to make sure nothing was brought back to me. I know I am not due for my exam yet but I don’t want to wait until then to find out.”
“Absolutely not! You don’t want to wait to take care of something like that. Let me have the nurse bring you a gown to change into and I will get the necessary items prepared. I am assuming you will wait to transfer the records until after we receive the results?”
“Yes Dr. Thomas, as I stated, I was just going to take care of the necessary paperwork on your side and wait until I get established with a doctor there before I request my records. I will still be here for about a week. Will I be able to find out my results before I leave?”
He nods, saying, “Yes, I should have your results in a couple days, three days max.”
