Ch. 2 The Truth
The next morning:
Lu has just pulled in the driveway of Ritten House. She gets out of her car.
Ben: Hey Dr. Delgado!
Lu: Its Lu... call me Lu
Ben: Ok Lu how's it going? Did you think about what I asked you yesterday?
Lu: ummm... I don't even know what you asked me refresh my memory please.
Ben: I asked if you would go on a date with me? Do you remember?
Lu: Oh Yeah
Ben and Lu are walking into Lu's office
Ben: So what's your answer?
Lu: No
Ben: Why? I apologized about being an ass yesterday...please just tell me why
Lu: The reason why is because I know how men are, they just want to get in my pants and that's it! And if I don't let them then they brake up with me...believe me I know what yall do!
Ben: Well probably all the guys you know do that but I'm not like all the guys you know. I don't want to get in your pants I mean I do I mean I don't I mean I want to when you want me to and if you don't want me to then I will have to accept that but all I'm asking is that you give me a chance please I'm begging you.
Lu: Ok, ok sense your begging I'll go on a date with you.
Ben: THANK YOU GOD! We're going to go somewhere really fancy!
Lu: Whoa! Not that fancy...wont you cook for me at your house? I would cook for you but I don't think you like burnt macaroni and cheese...
They both laugh
Ben: That sounds great well not the burnt macaroni and cheese but me cooking for you!
Right when Lu is about to say something one of her patients burst threw the doors of the clinic
Harmony: LU! OH MY GOSH I NEED LU!
Lana goes in Lu's office
Lana: Lu, Harmony is in labor right now!
Lu: Ok! Well Ben I'll talk to you later
Lu goes to exam room 2
Lu: Hey Harm.
Harmony: Lu please get this baby out of me right now!
Screaming at the top of her lungs
Lu: O ok calm down Harm. Keep pushing! Push one more time... Oh it's a girl!
Harmony: Awww can I see her she so beautiful...I'm going to name her Rosa
Lu: That's a beautiful name
2hours later:
Lu: Hey Lana who's up next?
Lana: Nobody kid...so what's up with you and Mr. Good-Looking?
Lu smiles
Lu: He asked me out on a date
Lana: YOU GO GIRL! So where is he taking you?
Lu: I told him to make dinner for me at his house
Lana: That sounds nice...I know I shouldn't bring this up but have you told him about your past?
Lu: No not yet...he just asked me out, why would I bust out with oh yeah I've been rape so please take pity on me.
Lana: Well Luisa you better tell him soon because if he tries something...
Lu cuts her off
Lu: I'm going to tell him ok don't worry
Lana: Be careful kid!
Later on in Lu's office:
Ben: Hey Lu I heard you wanted to see me
Lu: Who told you that?
Ben: Ms. Hawkins
Lu: Yeah I do want to see you and talk to you
Ben: Ok... What about? Oh no please say you still want to have dinner with me.
Lu: Oh no yea I'm still coming
Ben: Whew! Ok then what did you want to talk about?
Lu: Well remember when I was telling you about all the guys that I know only want one thing?
Ben: Yeah
Lu: Well the reason why I said that was because I... I was raped a year ago and it was by a man I knew...and I'm not telling this so you can take pity on me but I just wanted to tell you.
Ben: Oh my gosh! Really? I'm so sorry
Lu: No it's ok I just needed to tell you so you wouldn't try anything when I come over tomorrow night.
Ben: Even if I didn't know I still wouldn't try anything even though I would love to but I'm not that type of guy.
Lu: Thank you for understanding really
Ben: No problem...so do you want me to pick you up from your house?
Lu: No I have my own car
Ben: You call that a car?
Lu hits Ben and they both laugh
