Chapter 2 (Sex Machine)
Tori was up at 6:00am despite only getting about two hours of sleep. Since there were no groceries in the apartment expect for water, she made a trip to the bodega across the street. Upon returning to the apartment, she brewed a pot of coffee in major need of some caffeine. Jade was still asleep at this point, which really didn't surprise her considering how vocal her activities had been the previous night.
Once she'd finished off her first cup of coffee, Tori set to make herself breakfast. She made a ham and cheese omelet with buttered toast. Since she wasn't exactly sure what the day would hold, carb loading sounded like a good idea. It wasn't like she wouldn't walk it off on their tour of the hospital today.
After she'd finished eating and cleaned up, Tori went over with the intention of lying down on the couch to catch some shut eye before having to leave for Orientation… but she didn't expect the couch to be damp when she sat down on it.
"What in the hell…" Tori got up looking down at the damp spot she'd just sat on and felt the back of her pants for any moisture.
"What's wrong with you?" Jade emerged then with a yawn in nothing but a faded black, oversized Rolling Stones t-shirt.
Tori turned to her with an angered expression, "Why is the couch damp, Jade?"
"Ha! Well," Jade chuckled wittily as she poured herself a cup of coffee and added a couple spoonful's of sugar. "I was entertaining there last night," she shot a wink at Tori as she took a sip.
Tori grabbed a towel from the box the movers had delivered the previous afternoon, "You had better be kidding!" she warned throwing the towel down onto the dampened couch cushion.
Jade pulled a packet of Pop Tarts out of her own moving box and popped them into the toaster, "What? That I made her ejaculate? Or that she came on our couch?"
Tori let out a loud and angered growl causing Jade to laugh utterly amused, "Guess I've gotta look up waterproof slipcovers on Amazon then…"
"I'm pulling your leg, Vega," Jade gave a cheeky grin then. "Maris got up to get a glass of water in the dark and ran into the couch," she further explained as her Pop Tarts hopped up from the toaster.
Tori sighed disgruntledly, "Maris?" she asked sitting in the chair facing Jade in the kitchen.
"The waitress," Jade offered with a shrug before biting into one of her pastries.
Tori sat drinking her second cup of coffee as Jade stood in the kitchen eating, "It's quarter after seven. I'm going to finish this and then get ready"
"You need the bathroom?" Jade asked starting on her second Pop Tart.
Tori shook her head as she stood, "Nope, took a shower this morning before I ran to the market."
"Good," Jade woofed down her remaining breakfast. "I need one. I smell like sex and lube," she mumbled around a mouthful of Pop Tart.
Tori watched her with a mix of disbelief and amazement, "Are you going to make this a habit?"
"Um, you need to be more specific, Vega," Jade sighed placing her dirty plate into the sink. "Showering? Sex? Smelling like mango massage gel?"
Tori set her empty coffee mug into the sink with a slight clank, "Hooking up with random women until the wee morning hours."
"Ooh, someone's jealous!" Jade jested with a playful smirk.
Tori let out an annoyed puff, "No. I just would like to know how much sleep I'm going to be losing." She turned to Jade crossing her arms, "Because seriously, that chick was so loud. What was that? Like five or six rounds? I'm surprised you're even awake now, honestly."
"Eight, actually," Jade answered with a casual shrug, "You missed the first two. Also, it's not my fault I give amazing orgasms, or how my partner reacts."
Tori rolled her eyes and started back to hall while calling over her shoulder, "Guess I do need to invest in some earplugs."
Everyone seemed to arrive on time. Sikowitz sat at his desk at the front of the room watching the students filter in and take their seats. Jade and Tori made it in with fifteen minutes to spare and of course they were bickering as they took their seats.
"Ladies," Sikowitz directed at them calmly, but they kept arguing.
He stood then and approached the girls, "Dr. West and Dr. Vega," he spoke firmly getting their attention.
Both turned to him annoyed because of the interruption, "What?" they asked in unison.
"What's with the tiff? Everything going okay?" he inquired with folded hands.
Jade shot Tori a harsh glare, "Vega walked in on me taking a shower this morning."
Sikowitz gave her a 'So what?' expression that caused the girl to give a frustrated groan, "I was having a private moment when she burst in asking if I'd seen her damn binder!"
"You were masturbating! But that's not why I'm pissed at you…" Tori informed with the same amount of aggravation as Jade.
Jade threw her head back with a whine, "I apologized! How many times do I have to say it?!"
"You were jerking off into MY loofah! Not even a mountain of apologies could make up for that!" Tori all but screamed at Jade as Sikowitz tried his best not to laugh.
Sikowitz looked down at his watch then, "Now ladies, I don't get involved in my students personal lives unless I can help… which I don't think I can do here… however, Jade did apologize, despite what she did was an obscene act stemming from a very poor choice," he looked between them as they listened attentively. "My advice? Work it out between yourselves. It's time for Orientation to start."
"You're buying me a new loofah and burning the one you abused!" Tori harshly whispered as Sikowitz went to begin his address.
Jade leaned closer to Tori, "I'll buy you a new one, sure. But I'm not burning the other. I can put it to good use."
Once Sikowitz had given his morning address and all the students had received their white lab coats, with their names stitched onto the left breast pocket, it was time to start the tour. After going through the entire facility, which took about two hours, it was time for the group to meet their attending physician, Dr. Susan Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert was a fear-inducing woman, well, that was according to anyone who couldn't match her level of discipline.
"Hello doctors! Welcome to our facility and your own personal hell," Dr. Gilbert greeted the group with a tight smile and stern expression. Half of them were pretty sure they'd just peed themselves.
Jade smiled kindly at the woman, "Hey Susan!"
Dr. Gilbert's face fell into an askance state, "Miss West… or guess I should call you doctor, nice to see you out of the blue jeans and in something so professional. Congratulations." She gestured to Jade's gray dress pants and black button-up shirt.
"Aw, thanks Susan!"
"For the thousandth time, West… it's Dr. Gilbert."
The exchange caused the other students amusement, which earned them a death glare from Dr. Gilbert. Of course the fun is short-lived when Sikowitz informs the students they get to watch a surgery. Some are excited while others really just want to go home and sleep. This prompts another lecture from Sikowitz on how they're all replaceable. The attitude changed from being vocally annoyed to shooting glares at Sikowitz when his back was turned.
Tori took a seat at the front of the gallery next to Cat, but Sikowitz quickly informs her that she must sit with Jade, since they're partners. She hoofs it to the back row where Jade is sitting closest to the door chatting up some nurse.
"I really like that necklace… is it vintage?" Jade all but coos at the tall red headed nurse in pink scrubs.
Tori rolled her eyes and tried to focus on something other than Jade's flirting. Soon the surgery begins. Tori hoped Jade would stop then, but she didn't. She and the nurse were now whispering back and forth and making eyes with one another.
"Hey," Jade whispered to Tori as she kept an eye on Sikowitz who was intensely watching the procedure. "Can you cover for me? Veronica wants to show me something."
Tori shook her head quickly, "What? No! She's not even supposed to be in here!"
"I know that, Vega. That's why we'd like to go elsewhere."
"But you're supposed to be watching the surgery, Jade."
The raven haired girl then sat up straight, looking down into the operating room through the glass, "They're taking out that woman's gallbladder. I saw this procedure done about a dozen times in med school. Trust me, I'm not going to miss anything," she replied to Tori while slowly slipping out of her chair.
"But-"
"Loofah!"
And with that, Tori let Jade go earning a mischievous smile in return.
Once the procedure was successfully completed, Sikowitz stood and turned towards the class. Jade still hadn't returned and he noticed her absence straightaway.
"Dr. Vega?" Sikowitz asked examining the empty chair next to Tori.
The tan girl gulped, "Yes?"
"Where did Dr. West disappear to?" he asked gesturing to where he'd seen the girl in question at the beginning of the surgery.
Tori blurted it out the first thing that came to mind, "Cramps! Really bad ones. She excused herself to the ladies room."
"Okay, well then, why don't you go check on her? I'd like to move onto to dismissal." Sikowitz looked expectantly at Tori and she nodded in response.
Tori got up and left the gallery now thoroughly pissed at Jade. She had no idea where Jade could be at this point and now she had to find her. Thankfully, she didn't have to look far. Halfway down the hall from the gallery was a supply closet with a closed door and the sound of two women moaning coming from inside. Tori groaned in frustration before flinging the door open to reveal Jade and, the now naked from her waist down, nurse with the darker haired one's head planted firmly between the other's legs.
"What the hell?!" Jade asked shielding her eyes from the blaring light now pouring into the dark closet.
Tori picked up the nurse's pants by the door and tossed them at her but kept eyes on Jade, "Sikowitz sent me to find you. He wants to dismiss us for the day but can't until you come back." If she was pissed before, she was downright infuriated now.
Jade wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, "You need to chill out, Vega." She stood smoothing out her pants from where she'd been on her knees.
Tori gave her an acrimonious look, "You've got to be shitting me?!" she voice rose and echoed through the hall.
"Really?! Really?! You wanna do this now?!" Jade crossed her arms and stood directly in front of Tori in a challenging manner.
Tori scoffed loudly, "You are a sex machine! You and your overactive libido are going to get us kicked out of this damned program!" she threw her hands up in anger, "You're like an addict! Can you even go a day without screwing someone?!"
"At least I am getting some! Little miss killjoy prude!" Jade spat back with malice. "Bet you've never even gotten laid!" she stepped closer to Tori causing the girl to stumble back slightly. There was a crowd gathering around them by this point.
"Take it back!" Tori cried shoving Jade back. "Maybe you should've gone into sex rehab instead of this program!"
Jade had enough. She grabbed ahold of Tori by the hair and began kneeing her in the stomach. Tori clawed at Jade's arms around her head and neck. Both girls were screaming and cursing at each other as they wrestled to the floor. Tori straddled Jade trying to smack her across the face but she was intercepted by pale hands fiercely swatting her own away. Sikowitz emerged from the crowd then with Dr. Gilbert.
The two were able to pull Tori and Jade apart despite them still trying to scrap. Sikowitz looked between the two, "My office. Now."
Sikowitz had Dr. Gilbert give the dismissal so he could deal with Tori and Jade. They both sat in his office patiently waiting for Sikowitz and fully expecting to be kicked out of the program.
"You're a bitch, ya know?" Tori asked Jade as she readjusted the icepack across her abdomen.
Jade blotted at her bloody lip, "Yep, so I've been told."
Sikowitz came in then with two pieces of white paper and a medical folder, "Most importantly, I'm not kicking you ladies out." Both girls breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second, you pull a stunt like that again and I'll kick your asses out of here so quick it'll make your heads spin. Got it?" both nodded slowly with a hint of fear. "Third, this is the reason why I made you two partners…" he handed over the two pieces of white paper.
Jade looked it over and realized she was holding Tori's entrance exam, "This is Vega's exam…"
"And I've got hers," Tori pointed to Jade.
"Correct. What did you ladies score on that exam?" Sikowitz asked leaning forward over his desk.
"A hundred," both answered in unison.
"Exactly. You both scored a perfect one hundred percent. You are the first two students I've had in ten years to make that," Sikowitz explained with a prideful expression. "But more so, I've been head of this program for twenty years and never in my entire time here have I seen two individuals score the highest from one pool of applicants. You ladies are special."
"The point?" Jade sighed.
"You two are, by default, the most knowledgeable students in this program. I made you partners because you can keep with and feed off each other when it counts. Which brings me to your assignment/punishment," Sikowitz opens the medical folder to produce two pieces of paper.
Both girls took the papers and read over them quickly. They were the basic information and a few doctor notes for a patient currently being treated by the resident OB/GYN. The girls exchanged confused looks and then turned to Sikowitz.
"Why's this relevant to us?" Tori asked with a furrowed brow.
Sikowitz smiled like he was up to something, "Dr. West, what specialty track are you considering?"
"I, uh, I double majored. Not only do I have my medical degree but also my psych. I want to be an OB/GYN, but eventually I'd like to work as a sex therapist," Jade spoke with a hint of excitement to her voice but played it off casually with a shrug.
"Why am I not surprised…" Tori mutter pretending to read the paper in her hands.
Sikowitz threw a piece of wadded up paper at Tori, "Dr. Vega…" he sighed.
"Sorry," she apologized with her tail between her legs.
"I want to go into sex therapy because if my mom hadn't of gotten help from one… I wouldn't have been born," Jade admitted to Tori who immediately turned pink.
"Tori?" Sikowitz turned to her, "What track are you thinking of?"
"Pediatrics," the girl answered without second thought. "My mom was a pediatrician and I've always known I wanted to follow her footsteps."
Sikowitz sat back in his chair, "Read that patient's notes again."
"She's sixteen," Tori started as they began to reread.
Jade nodded, "and pregnant."
"It looks like the baby will need immediate surgery upon birth to repair a hole in its heart," Tori finished for Jade and the two exchanged knowing looks.
Sikowitz stood then, "Her name is Rayna Locke. She's under the care of our head OB/GYN, Dr. Ivan Sands. I've worked this entire thing out with him. The two of you will report every morning to myself or Dr. Gilbert, after doing so you will then make your way to Dr. Sands," he explained with a stern tone. "You will not be taking part in what the other interns are doing because Rayna is your assignment until further notice. Your job, until her child is born, is taking care of her and preparing for the infant's impending surgery. We understood?"
Both girls nodded slowly, "And if I catch either of you somewhere that I, Dr. Gilbert, or Dr. Sands didn't request you to be," he cleared his throat. "You'll get a demerit. Three of those and I will kick you out."
"Finally, if you cannot get along you're done, as I said before. No pussyfooting with demerits or assignments… there are plenty of students who'd love to have your spots that won't get into a hallway brawl in the surgical wing." Both girls exchanged nervous looks but still nodded, "Okay, good. You can go. Oh, and I'd have Dr. Vega look at that lip if I were you, West."
The two girls schlepped in silence to an empty exam room to give themselves a onceover. Jade had Tori lying down on the bed to examine her ribs, "Sorry I kneed you …" Tori winced and let out a yelp as Jade felt along the bruising on her ribcage, "and yep, bruised a couple ribs."
Tori watched Jade's gloved fingers feel along her stomach, "It's okay. Sorry I scratched and hit you."
"Apology accepted, Vega," Jade continued her exam, moving to Tori's lower abdomen, but paused when the tanner girl inhaled sharply. "Does that hurt?"
"Yeah," Tori quickly sat up and got off the bed, confusing Jade. "But I'm okay."
Jade tilted her head to the side, "No, you're not. Lie down. Or I'll get Sikowitz."
After hearing that, Tori didn't protest. She did as told and Jade resumed her exam. Tori tried not to, but she kept shuddering in pain as Jade would press on her stomach. Jade moved her hands below Tori's bellybutton and the girl all but cried out in pain.
Jade looked up at her, "Okay, wow. I don't fight dirty. I didn't hit you below the waist," she spoke and Tori just shook her head.
"Alright," Jade muttered as she began undoing Tori's pants.
"What are you doing?!" the girl on the bed squeaked.
"Clearly there's something going on with the lower half of your body. And I need access to it. Don't worry, I'll leave your underwear on," Jade replied pulling Tori's pants off along with her shoes.
Jade noticed immediately that Tori had some scarring along the lower region of her stomach; however she didn't say anything and continued examining her. The tan girl reacted with the same amount of pain, if not more, as Jade worked her way further down.
"God, please tell me you're not pregnant?" Jade looked up at Tori who was now blistering with goosebumps.
Tori simply shook her head, "No, I'm on the pill." Jade, slightly surprised by this, went back to her task.
"Okay, I'm going to press on your… lady area… I'm not trying to fondle you. Don't freak," Jade explained before she did so and Tori reacted in pain, again. "Vega, what's up with you?"
Tori shrugged as her face pinked and Jade crossed her arms, "Don't lie to me. It's your own damn body and you should very well have an idea why it hurts from your bellybutton down to your vagina, Tori!"
"I haven't been feeling well lately…" Tori admits and Jade's brow knits together in concern.
Jade recovered quickly though and stepped closer to Tori, "What's wrong?"
"A few things," Tori sighed. "Low grade fever, tenderness, burning when I pee, and fatigue."
"How long's this been going on?" Jade kinked a studded brow.
"A few days," Tori looked up at Jade sheepishly, "I thought it was stress."
Jade couldn't believe what she was hearing, "I don't think so."
"My boyfriend and I had a prolonged breakup," Tori sighed and Jade shot her a questioning glance, "Like, three weeks' worth of sex took place over two days…"
Jade, while trying not to giggle, walked back to the foot of the bed, "I think you have a urinary tract infection, Tor."
"Yeah, I assumed," Tori responded with an unenthusiastic smile.
"Okay, I need you to piss in a cup then. We need to be sure," Jade informed Tori.
It took Jade about five minutes for Jade to find a urine testing kit. Tori gave a sample and handed it to Jade once she emerged from the restroom. Neither one said anything as Jade got a new pair of gloves on and prepared the rapid test.
"Want me to look at your lip?" Tori asked as Jade was focused on testing her urine.
Jade rolled her eyes, "Only if you buy me dinner first," she teased back caused Tori to chuckle.
Tori washed her hands and quickly pulled on a pair of gloves. She began examining Jade's lower lip and found the source of its swelling, "You bit yourself."
Jade chuckled dryly, "Yeah, because someone was trying to deck it," she joked pointing down at the positive result on the rapid test, "And you got a UTI from too much sex."
Tori shook her head at Jade's comment. "Okay, this might sting a little," she spoke softly as she began cleaning Jade's lacerated lip. The paler girl winced at the hydrogen peroxide being applied to her and Tori gave an apologetic look.
Jade cleared her throat gently, "I'm sorry for calling you a joy killing prude," she apologized and Tori gave her a kind smile.
"And I'm sorry for saying you were a sex machine and the other things," Tori replied causing Jade to grin.
Jade shrugged, "Don't apologize for telling the truth, Vega," this caused both girls to laugh. "I forgive you though."
Tori finished up tending to Jade's lip and then then two stood there in an awkward silence until Dr. Gilbert poked her head in the door, "Everything okay in here?"
"Yeah," Jade replied motioning Dr. Gilbert over to look at the rapid test. "Can you please sign off on this and prescribe Dr. Vega an antibiotic?"
Dr. Gilbert looked over the test with a huff and then glanced between the girls, "Did you hit her so hard that it caused an infection? Dang, West." She joked pulling out her script pad.
"Ha, yeah. Dr. West has quite the knee," Tori gave the named woman a smirk who returned it cheekily.
Dr. Gilbert narrowed her eyes as she handed Tori her prescription slip, "You know what bedside manner is, correct?" She directed the question towards both of them to which they nodded in response.
"William S. Burroughs once said in one of his works, 'You need a good bedside manner with doctors or you will get nowhere.' Keep that in mind when dealing with each other in front of others and privately." She informed them sternly.
"Of course. There's absolutely nothing wrong with improving your bedside manner, right Dr. Vega?" Only Jade could manage to sound condescending yet seductive all at the same time.
Tori inhaled sharply, "That's right, Dr. West."
Once Dr. Gilbert left the room, Jade turned to Tori, "Sooo, truce? And I mean that seriously. Look at how deep we got ourselves in today." She extended a hand to Tori.
"Truce," Tori reached out and shook Jade's hand firmly.
Now the question is: can they do it?
