It's your first time. As you lie back your muscles
tighten. You put
him off for awhile searching for an excuse, but he refuses
to be
swayed as he approaches you. He asks if you're
afraid and you shake
your head bravely. He has had more experience,
but it's the first time
his finger has found the right place. He
probes deeply and you shiver;
your body tenses; but he's gentle like he promised he'd
be. He looks
deeply within your eyes and tells you to trust
him-he's done this many
times before. His cool smile relaxes you and you
open wider to give
him more room for an easy entrance. You begin to
plead and beg him
to hurry, but he slowly takes his time, wanting to cause
you as little pain
as possible. As he presses closer, going deeper,
you feel the tissue give
way; pain surges throughout your body and you feel the
slight trickle of
blood as he continues. He looks at you concerned
and asks you if it's too
painful. Your eyes are filled with tears but you
shake you head and nod
for him to go on. He begins moving in and out with
skill but you are now
too numb to feel him within you. After a few frenzied
moments, you feel
something bursting within you and he pulls it out of
you, you lay panting,
glad to have it over. He looks at you
and smiling warmly, tells you, with
a chuckle; that you have been his most stubborn yet most
rewarding experience.
You smile and thank your dentist.
After all it was time to have a tooth pulled.
Naughty, Naughty! What were you
thinkin'? I know what you were thinking!
