“Yeah,” Blake agrees, “it is pretty cool. It’s always nice to visit new places and help people. Why? Are you thinking about going?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” Hannah says.

“You should,” Blake tells her. “It’s really rewarding and it’s always fun to explore new places.”

“Don’t you have to worry about getting sick?”

“Yeah, but there are vaccines for almost everything,” Blake explains.

“Have you gotten your vaccine for Cholera?” Hannah asks.

“I have, and I’m up to date on everything else, so I should be good.”

“But what if you’re not?” Hannah asks, “aren’t you worried?”

“Not really,” Blake says. “This isn’t my first rodeo.”

Hannah laughs. “I suppose that’s true,” she says. “Well, in any case, good luck and I hope you have fun.”

“Well, I don’t know how much fun I’ll be having since this is a work trip, but I’m sure I’ll find something,” Blake says.

“Or someone,” Hannah says, giving her a knowing look before Blake feels a hand on her waist.

“And what are you two talking about?” Dr. Taylor asks, joining the conversation.

“Doctor Gold’s trip,” Hannah answers.

“Oh yeah?” Dr. Taylor asks, looking at Blake flirtatiously. “Are you excited?”

Dr. Gold and Dr. Jenna Taylor aren’t in a real relationship or anything, but the sex is good. Jenna has made it clear multiple times that she’s not interested in anything more serious than fuck buddies, and Blake doesn’t think she even knows how to be in a relationship. The closest she ever came was with Natalie, but she didn’t have Natalie’s heart. At least, not completely.

Dr. Gold smiles at Dr. Taylor and gives her a wink. Hannah leaves, letting the two of them converse alone.

“So, are you coming over to my place after work?” Blake asks.

“Don’t you have to pack?” Jenna asks, but she doesn’t sound too concerned. Jenna knows Blake well. They were friends for a long time before they decided to start having sex with one another.

“Eh,” Blake says with a shrug, “it can wait.”

“Okay,” Jenna says with a laugh, “in that case, I’d love to come over. I need to head home first. Maybe I can show you my new toys.”

“That sounds like a plan,” Blake says.

Jenna looks around to see if anyone’s watching before she leans in and gives Blake a quick kiss on the cheek.

“I’ll see you later,” she says.

Jenna leaves, going back to her job, and Blake goes back to work as well. She knows that these next two hours are going to be incredibly slow. Especially as she fantasizes about having Jenna on her back, moaning for her as she fucks her. Jenna is fun, but Blake knows they aren’t right for each other in any way other than the bedroom.

It is just a bit of fun and Blake wonders how long it will last and what or who will be next for her.

When Blake leaves the clinic where she works, she gets a phone call. It’s Jenna, and she answers immediately.

“Hey,” she says, “what’s up?”

Jenna takes a moment to respond, and Blake can hear shuffling in the background.

“I’m packing my stuff right now, but is it okay if I spend the night at your place?”
