Chapter 7: Dr. Finch

The first thing I did when I got home was strike the wall with my fist. The pain was numbing, I wasn’t sure I had felt such a burst of pain in a very long time, certainly not since the days of our training to work in military hospitals. Punching the wall was not something I did often, but I felt I deserved some sort of punishment for not building on the beautiful moment I had shared with Francine. That kiss had been awesome, even more so because I hadn’t planned it. It had just happened naturally. I had wanted it and could see that she wanted it too.

“Oh, damn it! You’ve lost the girl,” I growled.

I was far from happy with myself. I had hoped I had a good chance of winning Francine’s heart through the evening and maybe even convince her to come home with me, but I had hesitated when it was time for us to go our separate ways. She had hugged me tightly before she left, and I thought she had whispered see you soon, before winking at me and walking towards her car.

The art I had wanted her to see, the reason I had brought her to the art gallery close to Knox’s Place, hadn’t been on display. Holding hands with Francine, I had walked down the gallery in the direction where I had met that artist whose work had wowed me the last time I visited but someone else was set up there. My cheeks were on fire when I saw the paintings of naked women and big phalluses on muscular guys on the shelf where I had been so impressed before.

“Is this what you wanted me to … ”

“No, of course not,” I said quickly. “It looks like the person who was here before has moved. Excuse me, do you know where I could find the stand of the artist with a gold tooth in his mouth?”

“Oh, that’s Spencer,” the new artist replied. “He hasn’t been here in three days. Maybe he has a new project to execute.”

“Okay, thank you,” I had said before I led Francine away from the erotic paintings.

“You look flustered,” Francine had said, giggling. “It’s fine. I know you didn’t mean to show that to me.”

“Yeah,” I said, wondering why I had felt so repulsed. She was a doctor, private parts weren’t anything new to her eyes. But I didn’t want her to think I had brought her here to see those erotic paintings. Why were they allowed there anyway? Couldn’t kids have come that way?

I snapped out of my train of thought as I heard loud music coming from the other house. I rolled my eyes as I thought of the noisy sex that was sure to follow. If it continued this way, I might have to speak to Jason about keeping it down.

“Damn it!” I grunted as I settled on the couch.

I should have done better, really should have done a lot better. But as she has said, we will see each other tomorrow and hopefully continue from where we stopped.
