Teasing My Dad's Best Friend (BBW Contemporary Medical Romance)
doctor,” Emma’s voice was weak.
    “Right away, ma’am,” the voice said.
    Emma waited as the front desk quickly connected her with a doctor that was only a few blocks away.
    “Dr. Silvio Nicolella’s office,” a voice quickly answered.
    “Hello,” Emma began, “My name is Emma and I am on vacation. I need to see the doctor as soon as possible I am very sick.”
    The receptionist asked Emma what her symptoms were and Emma struggled to put the words together to answer her, but soon was told that although the doctor was canceling all of his appointments for the day due to the air conditioning system going out he agreed that Emma could come in right away and see him.
    Emma hung up the phone, then called the front desk again. She told them to charge her card for another night knowing that she was not going to be traveling that day.
    Emma groaned. My first day away from my parents and I am sick. What a great way to start my year, ’ she thought to herself. She pulled herself out of bed slowly and began to dress. She slipped on a pair of yoga pants, a T-shirt and tied her hair up on the top of her head. She knew that she looked bad, but she felt bad and did not care about anything but going to the doctor.
    Emma had the front desk call her a cab. Even though the doctor’s office was only a few blocks away from the hotel she did not want to chance walking there and passing out on the way.
    Emma climbed into the cab when it arrived and the driver took her to Dr. Nicolella’s office. Emma quickly paid the driver and headed into the building. As she walked through the door, she was hit with a blast of heat that made her feel as if she had stepped onto the sun.
    The doctor quickly opened the side door for her allowing her to access the examination rooms.
    “Uh, I sorry for hot,” the doctor said.
    Emma looked up at him, he was a beautiful man obviously just starting his career. He had dark skin, dark hair and the most beautiful brown eyes Emma had ever seen. She could tell by his physique that he worked out. He was everything that any woman would dream of and Emma quickly became aware of her appearance.
    The doctor led her to a room where he told her to put on a gown. She smiled at his broken English and nodded her head. She wished that she had met him under better circumstances and when she was looking better. Emma sighed as she changed into the examination gown and sat on the table.
    The doctor came back into the room just minutes after he had left her.
    “I am Dr. Silvio Nicolella,” he began. “You call me Silvio.” He smiled at Emma as he spoke putting her at ease.
    “I’m Emma,” she replied.
    “Emma,” the doctor said, pausing as if he were thinking about her name, “You are sick no?
    Emma put her hand on her stomach and nodded her head yes. The doctor began to examine her by taking her temperature, looking in her mouth and pushing on her stomach.
    Emma thought she was going to throw up on him right there when he pressed on her stomach and winced in pain.
    “Hmm,” the doctor said as he looked at Emma, “you eat?”
    “Yes,” Emma began not sure what he was asking her, “well not today.”
    “What did you eat,” he asked.
    “Last night at, Serenade. Agghiotta di lumache,” Emma did her best to pronounce the words correctly. The waitress had to tell Emma how to say it when she pointed to it on the menu. She had no idea what she was ordering, but wanted a true Italian experience.
    The doctor laughed loud and looked at Emma, “Snail,” he said, trying to hold back his laughter, “food poisoning,” he said.
    “I have food poisoning,” Emma gasped.
    The doctor shook his head and gave her a bottle of medicine that he had in the cabinet.
    “Help your stomach,” he said, placing one hand on his stomach.
    The embarrassment that Emma felt as overpowering. One day away from home and she was in a doctor's office suffering from food poisoning. The doctor handed her a piece of paper.
    “Write hotel
