365 Ficlets - Day #279 ~ "Needle"

Jennie pulled the curtain aside and removed her crop top and bra, then lay down on her front on the angled couch. It was only a few moments before she heard the curtain close behind her;

“Hello Jennie. It’s been a long time.”

Jennie craned her head around to look Franklin in the eye. More specifically she wanted to be as sure as she could be that the voice she was hearing was indeed coming from the person that she was expecting.

“Hello Franklin. It’s good to see you old friend. Are we alone?”

“Yes, Stacy, who was in the next cubicle has left.”

“I didn’t hear the bell.”

“She didn’t use the door, but then you were about to work that out, huh?”

Jennie laughed and nodded her head.

“So, Jennie, you want the usual or do you need something else?”

“Just the usual. I presume the price is the same?”

“Yeah, no problem. Pay me once we’re done.”

She lay back down and closed her eyes. She heard Franklin settle down onto his wheeled stool, heard him break open the blister pack containing the fresh needle and the whirr of the machine.
