My name is Henry McAlister though I'm called Hank. My Dad named me after Henry Aaron, his favorite ballplayer. My father, John was a surgeon and my Mom Karen was an RN for many years. I have been married to my Mallory for 12 years and I have a boy Bobby 9 and a girl Jena 8.
I am a physician and have my own family medicine practice. I have about 150 patients and my practice is still growing. In fact I added a couple of doctors, a PA, a nurse and two medical technicians and an office manager and receptionist to meet the need within our community.
I am 39 about 6'1 195. I work out regularly and eat right so I am able to run competitive times in 5k races which I run several times a year.
Mallory is 34, 5'6", 120lbs, 34 C tits with puffy pale pink areola and small pink nipples. She has long sandy blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Despite having two kids she has managed to keep her figure thanks to Zumba twice a week.
We met during a sorority social when I was in my second year of medical school and she was a sophomore working on her bachelor's in marketing. Her parents are Gunnar and Helga Halstrom. My parents, Dr. John and Emma Kennedy McAlister were killed when their small plane crashed while doing missionary work in Peru.
Out of college she got a job with Kenner and Associates and her position is strictly 9-5 Monday through Friday. I am a board certified surgeon but I gave up the operating room and opted for private practice so we could have a family life instead of me being on call and having unpredictable and sometimes insane hours which is the life of a surgeon.
I grew up with my father away most of the time saving lives. He missed many milestones in my life including my high school graduation and the rehearsal dinner before our wedding. I didn't want to raise my children as an absentee father.
I have privileges at the local hospital so I take a couple of days each year and perform surgery on my patients that need it just to keep up with my skills. I also keep up with the latest through colleagues and medical journals.
As a result I am able to coach my son's little league team as well as help my wife with my daughter's Girl Scout patrol meetings at our home. We have dinner together every night and we have or at least I thought we had a really good and happy life.
That is until Mal, that's what I call her, met Marie Duval who joined her firm three months ago. After two weeks Mal was raving about her new friend and how she was so interesting and cosmopolitan. They started having lunch together every day. My practice keeps me busy so it is rare that I have time to meet my wife for lunch.
However, I had taken the day off to perform some minor surgery for a couple of my patients early in the morning and I finished earlier than I anticipated because one of the patients had fell ill with a fever so I could not operate on them safely.
So the procedure was canceled. Since I had already scheduled the day off at the office I decided that I would surprise my wife and take her to lunch; and perhaps have the opportunity to meet the enchanting Ms. Duval.
I arrived at my wife's office 15 minutes before lunch and I asked her assistant Beth, "Is Mallory free?"
Beth replied, "She's on a call but should be finished in a couple of minutes."
I said, "Thanks Beth, good to see you again." I took a seat and waited for Mal to finish her call.
About 10 minutes later Beth said, "Her call is finished and she will be heading out to lunch soon."
I asked, "Is she free?" I know that occasionally she has lunch with clients.
Beth checked her appointment book and said, "No she has nothing scheduled. She usually has lunch with Ms. Duval, but I'm sure she can cancel for the handsome doctor."
I replied, "Great. I had a rare day off so I came to surprise her and take out to lunch."
Beth said, "You can go in now Dr. McAlister."
So I opened the door to her office and said, "Hi babe, surprise, I have come to take my lovely wife to lunch." Mal's eyes were suddenly wide open like a deer caught in the headlights, suddenly blinded and confused as to what to do.
She looked annoyed and appeared to, it seemed to me, resent my unwelcome intrusion. "Hank, what are you doing here? I thought you had surgeries today." Mal asked her displeasure evident in the tone of her voice.
I said a bit dejected, "I had to postpone my second surgery due to a low grade fever." I had scheduled to have the whole day off and I thought I would surprise my wife and take her out to lunch."
Mal replied, "You caught me off guard. I told you that I have lunch with Marie Duval every day. Now I will have to cancel at the last minute and that's so rude."
I said, "Why not have her join us? It would give me a chance to meet your friend."
Mal suddenly looked at a loss for words and seemed to be thinking of something to say. She finished rolling her eyes to the side and said, "That wouldn't work because we are meeting some clients. Mal was scrambling and quickly added, guess she can handle them but I hate to leave her hanging on such short notice. She let out an audible sigh and said with some disdain, I'll just call and cancel."
I had asked Beth, and she told me she was free. Mallory just lied to me. I was thinking, what the fuck is going on? I got the hint and it was not as subtle as she believed it to be. In fact it hit me like a freight train.
She would rather have lunch with her friend rather than me, even though opportunities to have lunch together are rarer than a blue moon. Also, it seems that I am not welcome into their precious inner circle. Both bothered me more than I let on.
So I told her, "No. I get it. I'm rude and obtrusive coming here out of the blue. Keep your lunch date. I'll see you later."
I spun around and bolted out of the door while she was shouting, "Hank wait, it's not like that, please come back!"
I ran down the hallway and took the stairs so she couldn't catch me before I exited the building. By the time she took the elevator and made it outside I was driving out of the parking area. As I drove out I was seething, and I said, "Fuck her and fuck her friend too!"
I decided to be a stereotypical doctor and headed to the club to have lunch and a round of golf. I felt the urge to hit something hard. I got lucky and was able to round out a foursome with some other doctors who play regularly on Wednesdays. Their regular fourth was called to an emergency.
