At the dentist's...

K is in the yellow room at the dentist's while waiting for the doc to turn up. In walks in Dr. Mandeep, quite unobtrusively.

Dr. M:  Hi Kritika! :)

K: oh hi!
Dr. M: How are you? how's it going?
K: oh pretty good. How about you? How are you?
Dr. M: oh, i'm fine too... :)
K: -smiles back-
(Dr. M is on his way out when he suddenly turns around and looks at K. Then frowns.)
Dr. M: Are you ok? you look very different?
K (slightly frazzled): different? how?
Dr. M: your face looks kind of different. you look quite tanned. like you just came back from a vacation in Goa or something.
(touches his own face, the under eye and cheek area to point out)
you look quite red. and seem to be getting redder. sure you ok?
K: umm...yeah... i don't know. I'm quite ok actually... umm. maybe the weather?
(blushing more furiously than previously)
Dr. M: haan, that might be it.
(comes closer with a wad of goop in his hand, holds her mouth and shoves the goop in to get an impression, all the while holding onto her jaw and chin.)
Dr. M (standing above her, at a menacing 6'5'', looking down with those intense dark eyes): so, how's your tooth (pats the jaw at the spot) doing now? is it still trouble you?
K (WITH the goop in her mouth): not really..sometimes, if ever.
(and starts staring intently at the head lamp shining right in her face. anywhere but there!)


Dr. M keeps talking and holding the goop holder and being funny. K stares on.5 minutes more, and we're done.
the end result of the 1.5 hrs of waiting. 


 PS- for the uninitiated, this dentist, Dr. M, is made of stuff fantasies are made of. he's 6'5"ATLEAST, has amazing spiky hair, dresses snazzily, and smells amazing( it's a burberry, if i'm not mistaken..). has these intense dark brown eyes, the most amazing of smiles. and loves to talk and joke and kid around. as if that wasn't perfect enough, he actually comes and helps his wife with her patients (she's my actual ortho by the way!), even holding a glass of water while she drinks up. sigh. dev thinks i've got the hots for that man. he couldn't be more wrong... :/
