Luke
I dig myself into work to forget about the embarrassment that I felt this morning at the hospital. After I arrived at the workplace, I attended meetings continuously and then settled in my office busying myself with other works.
The knock on my office door caught my attention, "Come in," I said without looking up from the file that I was looking at for the past hour.
"How was your doctor's appointment?" I cringed at Gabriel's voice. I hissed, "Can you not come inside first and then speak."
"Is that a new rule in your company?" Gabriel asked taking a seat on the couch far from my table.
Gabriel Moretti was undoubtedly a handsome and charming man. He also happens to be born into an old money family. So, working and earning was the least of things he was bothered to do. Being born into an American mother and Italian father, he was a different kind of hybrid child. He and I had been best friends since our births. But there are some times when I cannot tolerate him.
"Yes. Specifically for you," I gritted my teeth about Gabriel's question and the answer to that.
"Oh, man. You are becoming more and more insane by the passing days," Gabriel said smirking at my behavior. And I know that I was being on the edge but I could not help it either.
Gabriel was no different from me. He too comes from an affluent family and had big connections in all the industries. He was equally charming and talented. Just a playboy though. He did not do relationships but that does not mean he did not take girls outside in front of the media eyes. He simply did not care about what others think of him. And he is carefree, that is what I love him for.
I got off my seat and went to the couch. I sat down sighing and leaning back my head. I had overworked quite well and my tiredness was starting to show.
"What happened? Did you not meet the doctor?" Gabriel asked me.
"I met the doctor and he said that I have to go through some tests before going further into the treatment,"
"Are you worried about the results? Don't be. It will all be fine. Even if there is any problem, you can get it treated," Gabriel said with genuine concern. We are best friends, best mates, I know that he cannot afford to see me going through pain. And me neither.
"It is not the results," I muttered in a low tone.
"Then what is it?" Gabriel asked with curiosity.
"I had to give urine sample and semen," Gabriel did not need any more explanation from me. He burst out laughing loudly making me shoot him death glares.
"Let me guess further, the nurse must have given to strange looks or probably shot glances at your big dick," Gabriel winked at me and I was showing more and more irritation.
"Nurse... Along with the receptionist," I said and went back to my table and opened the file that I was looking into before Gabriel came.
"I am not in the mood to offer you drinks. See yourself out," I said without taking my eyes off of the file. I was already embarrassed enough, I did not need anymore. Especially, from my best friend.
Gabriel tried his best to not peel off another laughter from his mouth, "That is all okay. You carry on. Your secretary will be in the mood to offer me drinks. I will have it with her."
I sighed when I heard the door close. I shook my head and got back to the work. I did not want to think about that incident ever again.
The day went on like that with me being immersed in work and when the clock ticked and I was done with work, I headed back home. My night consisted of dinner followed by a few drinks to forget about the day and I was soon in bed.
When it was the next day morning, I found himself getting ready to start the day with a fresh feeling. But little did I know what was in store for me.
My phone rang and I picked up the call without looking at the caller ID.
'Hello,"
"Hello, is this Mr. Luke Sawyer?" a female voice came out.
"Yes, and who are you?" I wondered who was this girl. I did not have any girlfriend. And I surely do not give my phone number to any of the one night stands or flings.
"I am Linda, the receptionist from the hospital you visited yesterday," My skin went pale at the mention of her identity. I did not want to even see that woman ever again.
"What is it?" I asked coldly.
"Sir, there was a little incident that happened yesterday at the hospital and we seem to have misplaced your semen test sample. If it is possible could you please give us another sample of your semen," she spoke softly and calmly.
"What do you mean by you misplaced it?" I was angry by now. I was definitely not going to do the embarrassing things again, and definitely not in the hospital.
"We are extremely sorry sir. If it is uncomfortable for you to come to the hospital, I can send one of our male staff to collect it from you," she tried to persuade me.
I wanted to scream at her but refrained from doing so. I did not want to take this any further. I sighed and spoke, "Fine. Send someone to my office." I disconnected the phone call harshly without waiting for her response. I was expecting to start this day pleasantly. But it was already ruined. Any man would be happy to have a good release in the morning but definitely not this way.
I dashed out of my room and walked straight out of the house. The cook was perplexed about my behavior. I could sense it. I did not have breakfast and left to work. I even had to glare at the driver and other employees because of my unpleasant mood. It is not like they complained about it. They had all become used to it by now.
