right now. Well, I’m only partially ‘not’ talking to him and I’m fully not talking to Roslyn.
Quickly, I put on my coat to cover up the change in my blouse and swaying boobs. I knew my cheeks were probably red because I wasn’t sure what the office heard while we were fooling around. Hopefully not the moans, growls or buttons flying. I cannot believe I let him do that. I’m completely helpless once his hands are on me. I should be stronger than this. Dammit. I flipped my collar up on my coat and exited out the office rather quickly. Nobody said anything, but it was all on their faces. Shit.
I called my gynecologist and she said that I didn’t need to get tested again, since I haven’t had sex in the past year, but she always recommended testing. She did say that I need to have the pregnancy test done before I could get on birth control. She said we could talk about the different types when I came today, luckily one of her patients cancelled. After putting on my workout clothes, I caught the train to the Kelly building for my appointment. Joshua said he’d be out of town, but I still found myself looking for him when I walked into the building.
Min, my Gynecologist, and I discussed the fact that I might start to have sex and the best way to prevent infecting my partner. She said there were condoms for males and females. Basically saying that I didn’t have to give up oral sex all together, because there is something called a ‘dental dam’ for vaginal or anal oral sex. She did explain that there was a possibility that he could be infected even if I wasn’t having an active outbreak and taking the suppressant medicine. It reduces the risk, but my partner needs to understand there is risk involved. So in essence, no matter what we do, condoms and all, he can still get the disease. Funny how one stupid mistake can have such a lasting effect on not just me, but the people closest to me.
Such is life.
Urg.
I have to keep telling myself I should be grateful this is herpes and not a death sentence. Therefore, I won’t complain. So long oral sex. Bon voyage! It was nice while it lasted. At least I’ll have my vibrator. I wonder if Joshua will be okay with using toys. I’ll need to talk to him a little more in depth and explain his risk. He may not understand that no matter what we do he is exposed.
The birth control options were simple for me, because although I wanted to have less to worry about, I wanted to take Orthro, because it inadvertently helped with acne. Every once in a while, I’d would get a huge pimple during that time of the month. That meant I would have to take the pill daily, and that would add to my routine of taking my herpes meds, Vitamin A, C, D, multi-vitamin. That was my process, every morning after breakfast.
My test results wouldn’t be back for another couple of days and then I could share them with Joshua - that is if he still wanted them after I explained how exposed he was to being infected. His response was sweet and all, but hopefully he’ll have some time to think about it more.
Leaving the Kelly building, I stopped by Starbucks to get my macchiato fix. I was feeling so relaxed, I decided to stay and attempt to finish my eBook. In The Chase , Xena was back from her trip and Xavier was outside of her door looking like a hobo. Wow, he was really sick about her being gone. She was starting to get on my nerves. That was such a punk move.
For Starbucks to be a coffee place, it was awfully loud in there. The patrons were yelling over the machines, the baristas were talking loudly as well and it just wasn’t a good place to read. Not sure how people sit in there and concentrate, I left after a half an hour of what sounded like an outdoor market.
When I arrived back home, I developed some alternatives for my employees to look at in regards to our plans with Kelly International. I like giving them options, just in case nobody had ideas. I hate sitting in meetings with everyone
