Jenny thought deeply, and, gathering up the courage, replied “Yes. Okay. Let’s do this.” She squeezed my hand tightly as she said this.
“That’s great. Just great, Jenny.” Dr. White said with a smile. She glanced over at Gina, who gave a nearly imperceptible nod. Dr. White glanced at me.
“Besides Matt, I think this will give you a chance to get to know Gina better. I hope you don’t mind me saying, Gina, but she told me how unhappy she is that she barely knows the man that makes her daughter so happy.” Dr. White said.
“Yeah. Definitely.” I said, unsure of how good of an idea this really was.
“I look forward to it.” Gina said.
“Where will I go? Should I get a hotel or something, or go out of town?” Jenny asked.
“Well, Jenny, I had a thought.” Dr. White started. “Jenny, I consider you a friend. A good friend. And, if you don’t think it’s inappropriate or unprofessional, maybe you could stay at my place. I know we’ve always talked about meeting outside the office. This would be a good chance to do that.”
“That would be great.” Jenny said happily. “So, when does this start?”
“Well, you guys were my last for the day. So, we should probably head out now.” Dr. White stood up, as do we. She started to grab her things. We followed her out as she started to close everything up. She let her secretary go, and we walked down to the lobby of the building.
“Excuse me for a sec.” Gina said. “I left my bags over there at the security desk.” She sauntered over to the desk and the guard stammered as he handed over her bags. Her hips swayed as she walked back over. We walked out into the parking lot.
“Well, I guess this is where we split up.” Dr. White said. She stood next to Jenny, as I stood next to Gina, as we faced each other, about to separate. Jenny walked over and hugged me. “I’ll see you Sunday, baby.” We hugged each other tightly. Dr. White shook Gina’s hand, and as the hug ended, she shook mine. Jenny turned to Dr. White.
“I need to run home first. I need to get some clothes, and supplies. I hope that’s okay?” Jenny asked.
“Well, I was kinda hoping for a clean break here. I didn’t really want us all to go to your place then split up.” Dr. White explained.
“Don’t’ worry.” Gina started, “Matt’s gonna take me out to dinner. That should give you time to get your things before we get there.” I was taken aback by Gina’s decision, but I accepted it, thinking she was a very forward type of woman.
“Works for me.” Dr. White said.
“Did you drive here, mom?” Jenny asked.
“No, I took a cab. So, I’ll be riding with Matt.” Gina said, glancing at me.
“So, I guess this is it.” I said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Dr. White started walking to her car, and Jenny began to follow. She looked over her shoulder and gave me a cute little wave.
“Havea good weekend!” She called out. I now stood next to Gina, as they walked away. I nervously looked over at Gina, and she looked at me.
“Let’s ride.” She said.

I drove though town, heading towards a classy little local restaurant I’ve taken Jenny to a few times. I glanced over, and couldn’t quite take in the fact that my passenger seat, usually occupied by Jenny, was now occupied by Gina, her gorgeous looking mother.
