Page 77 of The Doctors Will See You Now

“Oh!” Cassie exclaimed and turned up the volume on the television. “It’s about to start.”

Will sighed and muttered, “Yay” in the most unenthusiastic voice possible.

As the opening credits for The Doctor Is In started to appear on the screen, I dragged Will toward an empty love seat and forced him to sit on the couch beside me.

“I think we should go,” he whispered in my ear moments later. “Yeah…I think we should leave and spend hours upon hours naked in my bed.”

I grinned and shook my head. “You’re not getting out of this by trying to ply me with sex.”

“God, I love this fucking show,” Thatch said with a giant smile stretched across his lips.

“I wonder if Dr. Obscene is going to get naked again in this episode?” Cassie questioned as she popped a few pieces of popcorn in her mouth.

“I’m right here,” Will said, but she ignored him.

“Or maybe they’ll get another shot of him where he looks like he’s jerking it?”

“One can only hope,” Thatch responded around a mouthful of pretzels. “One can only fucking hope that Dr. Obscene will get wild and nasty tonight.”

“You know, I’m still right here, guys.”

“Yep,” Thatch and Cassie responded in unison.

The show started with a shot of Will walking down the hospital hallway toward the nurses’ station and a blond nurse—wearing a pair of scrubs so tight that she must have glued them onto her body—stopped him before he could reach his destination.

“Dr. Cummings?” she asked with a flutter of her lashes and a seductive grin. “Do you have a minute?”

“For you, Mandy,” he said with a flirtatious smile, “I always have a minute.”

“Ohhhhhhh! Dr. Obscene is going to bone Mandy!” Dick called out, and I immediately felt like puking. It wasn’t even just a little bit of nausea. No. I literally felt like hurling all over Kline and Georgia’s living room.

“Aww…you’re so sweet, Dr. Cummings,” Mandy said with a playful tap to Will’s bicep. “Oh my, have you been working out?”

“She loves Dr. Obscene’s guns!” Thatch cheered toward the TV.

Jesus Christ. Was this about to turn into a goddamn porno?

I had never felt more uncomfortable than I did in that moment, sitting with Will’s family, watching him flirt on screen with a slutty nurse named Mandy.

Which was dumb…right? It was just a stupid reality show that was filmed months ago. I mean, I hadn’t met Will until after the first episode had aired. I had no claim to him when this was filmed. He was just a single guy at the time…

But God, it hurt like a motherfucker to watch it.

What in the hell was happening to me?

You’re jealous.

Was I jealous? Okay… Yeah… I was woman enough to admit that I was. I was fucking jealous. Will is mine. He wasn’t a piece of meat for slores like Mandy to sink their slorry claws into.

Will is mine? Holy hell, had I really just thought that? Like some territorial chick who was about to piss a circle around her boyfriend?

I’d never been the jealous type in the past. Hell, I wasn’t sure I’d ever felt this kind of jealousy before, not even with Eli. But holy mother of macaroons, had the green-eyed goddess made herself known.

I searched and searched the recesses of my mind for the answer to one question—why in the hell was I so jealous?

But I was completely caught off guard by how easily I figured out the answer.

Because you love him.
