Queen of Pain:

Simone’s Notes:

A nymphomaniac is a woman who whose behavior deviates from what is acceptable especially in sexual behavior. She wants to have sex with any men that cross her path. Many call her a slut. But, it’s only because she is a hypersexual. Hypersexuality replaces the concept of nymphomania. But, the word is still used today. Nymphomania was believed to be a psychological disorder characterized by an overactive libido and an obsession with sex. The threshold for what constitutes hypersexuality is subject to debate, and critics question whether a standardized diagnostic threshold even exists. Sex drive varies widely in humans, and what one person would consider a "normal" sex drive might be considered excessive by some and low by others. The consensus among those who consider this a disorder is that the threshold is met when the behavior causes distress or impaired social functioning. Hypersexuality may also be expressed in those with bipolar disorder during periods of mania. It is something not often openly discussed, but it can cause a great strain on relationships and marriages.

Madeline lied close in Daniel’s arms on his sofa as they kissed. This was how there night together ended. She and him would cuddle together, make out for a while, and she would unbutton his jacket completely and two top buttons on his white pressed shirt. This was as far as he had allowed her to go. She was still adjusting to this level of affection. The woman still wished to go farther. “Keep behaving like you have been lately,” Dan told her repeatedly. “And you’ll probably get in bed with me.” The nympho would smile and nod at him sweetly. “This is so good!” Maddie thought as she kept kissing him. “My only worry is knowing when to stop! He is so gorgeous!” Then, she stopped kissing, laid her head against Dan’s chest, and smiled sweetly. “I love this arrangement.” Madeline said softly. “Me too.” Daniel said as he stroked her short red hair. The major had grown close to this nymphomaniac. He enjoyed having her in his company more often. She was a sweet woman once you got to know her. They didn’t have to struggle with the affection limit so much anymore. No jealous perverts and flings had come by to harass them lately. Madeline was behaving like an adult now. Plus, she had stay sober for weeks now. But, Maddie still made commitments about how hot he was that made him blush. He liked those, but sometimes he wished that she would just keep them in her head at times.

“Should I go home now?” Madeline asked him as she looked deep into his eyes. “No!” Daniel said quickly. “Stay if you like!” The woman smiled at him as she slowly shut her sweet brown eyes. “Thanks,” the nympho replied. “Good night, Danny.” The major couldn’t help but to smirk to himself. He lightly kissed her on the lips. “Good night, baby girl.” Dan replied softly to her. Then, he lightly picked her up and carried her up the stairs. The major lightly laid her into his bed and covered her with the blanket. He smiled to himself as he did so. “Good night,” he whispered to her. Then, Dan lightly kissed her on the lips again and left the room. He put himself on the couch downstairs and went to sleep. This was how their nights were. She had his bed and slept on the couch. “Why do you always sleep on the couch?” Maddie would ask in the morning. “Why not sleep in the bed with me, I promise I won’t try anything!” Daniel would just smile at her and say, “Because I am a gentleman. Gentlemen don’t try to put themselves in positions that would put the guest and host into trouble. You’re too good for that, you know?” They would laugh about that afterwards. Yep, they had a good arrangement so far. But in the morning, their relationship would be put to the test.

That moment would come at St. Mary’s Touch Hospital. Maddie was there getting herself tested for STDs. If she and were going to sleep together, then she was determined not to get him sick with anything she had. Maddie decided to be quiet about it just to be on the safe side of things. Anyway, the nurses were at their work when the doors sprang open. Everyone quickly looked up. Dr. Bob James stood in the doorway in a hateful mood. Dr. James was the chief of medicine at St. Mary Touch. He was a spiteful little man. To sum it up, he is like Dr. Kelso from Scrubs. The man was fifty-nine and a crass leech. He was always hitting on every nurse that crossed his path and he frequently engaged in businesses with the hookers in the city. Jaks and the rest of the nurses didn’t understand why women found him attractive with his short grey-white hair, dusty brown eyes, and wrinkled paper bag face. The only people brave enough to stand up to him were Dr. Howard and Dr. Mathis. Sometimes, the nurses would challenge him. Today was not a good day to do some. Dr. James was out for some blood. He wanted someone to screw up so badly that way he could pick on them until he got bored with them. Anyone was up for his torture. No one was safe on these days. Attending surgeons, other doctors, nurses, patients, no one was safe! It all depended on who screwed up. The doctor was looking right at the nurses as his main target today. Jaks and her friends prepared to fight back. Dr. James looked up and saw Derdra. Then, he looked around and saw another junior nurse. “Nurse Chopin, Nurse Browning! Come!” he yelled out. Derdra swallowed hard and followed the other junior nurse to their fate. The key was not to mess up at on the stats. But that is sort hard when you’re under pressure. “Tell me girls,” Dr. James began. “How many patients were discharged yesterday?” “Twenty-seven!” they both answered together. “Good,” the chief of medicine replied. “What did you all do yesterday?” The girls drew in a deep breath. Derdra’s friends watched closely. “Should we jump in?” Suri asked. “And be targets as well? No f*****g way!” Daphine whispered back. They all kept watching closely and hoped Derdra would swim above. “I cleaned the bed pans yesterday!” Nurse Browning cut in. “Well, I tended to the kids all day yesterday!” Nurse Chopin fought back. The junior nurses kept fighting back and forth for their grace. Dr. James was enjoying the battle. But after a while, he became bored with it. “Okay, time to pick one and move along!” Bob thought. Then he said, “Well, I guess I’ll let…” Suddenly, there came a loud crash! Everyone looked up and saw Madeline lying on the ground in pain.

She had tripped over a chord and fell over. In the process, she had knocked over a cart. Now, twisters, cotton balls, and tongue depressors were all over the floor. And to top it off, she splashed the three open containers of urine on Dr. James’s coat. The nympho slowly looked up. “I’m so sorry!” she exclaimed aloud. The chief of medicine looked at her coldly. Then, he recognized her quickly. A dark smile came across his cold face. Right then, he had found his victim. “Well, well, well!” Dr. James called out. “Ms. Sampson! It’s been a long time!” Madeline froze at that voice. “Oh no… It’s him!” she thought in worry. Bob stepped closer to her. “What brings you down here to St. Mary’s Touch?” he asked. Madeline looked away nervous. Then, the nurse from the office stepped out smiling. “I forgot to warn you about the chord, Ms. Sampson,” she said. “But anyway, your results should be back by tomorrow.” Then, she went away to tend to other patients. Maddie sat on the floor pale. Bob grinned right at her. “Oh!” he called out. “An STD test, huh? It’s a about time! I never thought that you would be scared of the viruses! Well, there’s a first time for everything! Good luck, you little slut!” Maddie felt like she was going to cry. “It’s not like that!” she yelled out. Bob raised an eyebrow at her. “Oh?” he asked. “Then, why are you doing that?” The nympho wanted to answer, but she looked away nervously. Could to even tell him without embarrassing herself? But, Dr. James already figured it out.

“Oh!” he called aloud. “Could it be because you have a boyfriend?” he asked aloud. Madeline looked away blushing. She could feel all eyes upon her. The nympho felt as if she was a woman being tried on the Salem Witch Trials. She just couldn’t answer him. Bob grinned again. “I see!” he yelled out. “Is he the real deal or will he leave you just like the others? I don’t know! You have such lousy taste in men!” “Stop it!” Madeline yelled out. “He’s good to me and we’re taking things slowly! He knows what I am and he accepts me!” Bob laughed out loud at that statement. “Aw!” he called out. “And how can you be sure he’ll stay if your results are positive?” Madeline sat there speechless. She couldn’t come back with another statement. The chief of medicine grinned at her coldly. “That’s what I thought!” he said aloud to her. Then, he walked away laughing. Madeline sat there disappointed. He now knew her secret. What if he was right about Daniel? Now, she was really afraid of what her results would be. The woman tried her best not to cry. Derdra and her friends looked at her in pity.

“How do you Dr. James?” Daphine asked once they all took her to dinner. They were all in the hospital cafeteria. Madeline sat there staring at her food. She looked as if she was going to cry. “It was four years ago!” the nympho spoke up. “We were all at a New Year’s party. I don’t remember what all happened. But he and I woke up in a room with three other men. I don’t even want to remember!” She shuttered for even bringing up that night again. Now, she wished that she had kept her big mouth shut. She just wanted to disappear now. The nurses all stared at her sickly. Why would this woman even want to sleep Dr. James? He’s just so old! Madeline stared at them nervously. “Don’t judge me!” she snapped. Then, the nympho stood up and stomped out disappointed. The nurses all looked at her in pity again. “Poor girl!” Anjia spoke up. “I know,” Izzie said. “We should do something.” Derdra replied. “But what?” Suri asked. The nurses all sat there in silence.

Madeline left the hospital in tears. How could Dr. James call her out like that in public? That was disrespectful. That information was too personal to be broadcasted in the hospital. How could she ever show her face in St. Mary’s Touch again? Dr. James was the last person she wanted to ever see again in her life. That was just wrong for him to announce her business to the whole hospital and make her doubt her feelings for Daniel! But, what if he was right? What if Dan left for the exit when he found out that her STD tests returned to be positive? Would she be able to change her ways in order to make her relationship with Daniel? What if Dan turned out to be just like all of the other men she had slept with? The nympho stopped in her tracks in the middle of the street. The whole was making her head hurt. She needed a drink badly.

Then, Maddie came past a sports bar and looked inside. The place was really packed. Falman, Breda, and Daniel were inside on the couch having a good time. The nympho began to cheer up a little bit. “I’ll go inside to visit Danny and them!” she thought cheerfully. Then, Maddie fixed herself up a bit and went inside. The men were all in the sports bar talking away. Some were smoking and playing pool. Madeline walked in with her purse held close to her. She was nervous like a pure little cheerleader at a college frat party. So far, none of the guys noticed her. Maddie didn’t know whether to relax or not. “This is both a good and bad thing!” she thought. Good because less temptation and bad because she seemed to old news. A couple of guys looked at her and she waved back. But that was it. Madeline finally made to the right guys. Daniel wasn’t with them. But, that didn’t stop her from trying. Breda and Falman were talking when they noticed that someone was standing over them. Something told them that wasn’t Daniel. They slowly turned up and saw Madeline smiling at them. She was dressed tastefully in a nice skirt and nice tank top. She had her purse tightly to her chest. The men looked nervously at her. They resisted asking, “What are you doing here, girl?” “Hi guys!” the nympho called out. “What to see what’s in my purse?” “No!” Falman and Breda yelled. Maddie smiled anyway. Then, she opened the purse and dumped it all over the table. The boys looked at the materials closely. Condoms, a small bottle of warming lubricate, lipsticks, and a keychain vibrator in the shape of a penis were all on the dark oak coffee table. They had never seen so many sex things on the table. Maddie tried to keep smiling.

Breda and Falman slowly looked up at her. She looked as if she was going to cry. Now, she didn’t know why she did that. “I don’t get it,” Breda spoke up. “Are you trying to get laid tonight or are you some sort of a hooker or something?” Madeline’s face went pale. “No!” she snapped in offense. “Then,” Falman spoke up. “Why all of these condoms? You seem to want to get laid or you want everyone to think you want to get laid!” Madeline became angry and sad. “Don’t judge me!” she yelled out. The lieutenant raised an eyebrow at her. “You’re the one who dumped your things onto the table!” he argued strongly. “You’re the one who opened us to your problems!” Maddie felt himself being crushed. She felt the whole room staring at her. This was worse than talking with Dr. James. “Eat shit!” she yelled at last. Then nympho ran away as fast as she could. She ran past Daniel who was getting more drinks for the guys. He noticed his gal pal running by and hurried over to the lieutenant and warrant officer. “What’s wrong with her?” the major asked. The men shrugged. Then, Dan saw her things on the table. He instantly put two and two together. “I’ll go talk to her.” Daniel said at last. Breda and Falman said nothing and nodded. Then, the major headed out the door after her.

Daniel found Madeline standing on the curb crying. Tears were ruining her tasteful make-up. The major felt sorry for her. He slowly began walking towards her. Maddie looked up with tears in her eyes. The major still kept walked towards her. “Just go away!” she yelled out. But, he didn’t. Instead, Dan kept walking closer. He finally made it to her and put his arm around the nympho. Madeline looked away crying. “Aw, tell me what’s wrong,” Dan whispered to her. His baby girl didn’t answer at first; she just kept sobbing and crying. But then she said, “I’m too scared.” The major looked at her concerned. “Of what?” he asked. The woman didn’t answer at first. She broke away from his grasp and turned to him with more tears in her eyes. They stared at each other for a long while. “I don’t want to be abandoned!” she said at last. Daniel took her into his arms. “Aw babe,” he whispered to her. “You won’t be abandoned.” Then, he took her home with him. Along the way, Madeline told him the whole truth about what happened to her today.

The next morning, Daniel and Madeline were at the hospital getting her test results. The major insisted on going with her for support. Then, Dr. James walked by the pair and grinned. “Oh, Maddie!” called out at last. She and Dan looked up. “Oh, is this your latest squeeze?” Bob asked aloud to draw attention. “Hm! I wonder how long this will last! Two weeks? One month? One week?” Maddie felt herself shrinking again. Daniel became angry. “Shut up, you jackass!” he snapped. “Oh!!!” Dr. James said aloud. “What’s wrong? Truth hurts? Doesn’t? Not my fault your girlfriend is a little slut! She’s just a nymphomaniac who is addicted to sex! Why, I bet she can’t go six seconds without thinking about sex! That’s how needy she is for it! She’d probably give it up to you right this second! That’s how she usually is!” Then, the doctor laughed aloud at his cruel jokes to his latest victim. BIG mistake! “Hey Bobbo!” the doctor heard someone yelled behind him. Dr. James turned to see a long black and gold cane strike him right in the face! The last thing the chief of medicine remembered was a great scene of black as he fell back to the floor. Gail stood over him smirking. She had been dying to do that all day. “Anything to shut you up in the morning!” the doctor said aloud. Then, she looked around at the audience staring at her happily as they clapped. “WHAT?!?” she snapped. “Show’s over! Get back to work!” Everyone went quiet and did so. Suddenly, Madeline felt herself begin to smile again.

Maddie went in to get her results by herself. Daniel waited outside faithfully. Within minutes, his baby girl came out with a neutral face. The major rose to his feet and came to her. “Well?” he asked. Madeline’s eyes welled with tears. “I’m clean!” she said in a soft happy voice. Dan’s face lit up with joy. “That’s great!” he called. He hugged her tightly. “Don’t leave me, Danny!” Madeline whispered in his ear as she held onto to him. “I won’t, baby girl!” the major whispered back.
