I do not own twilight it all belongs Stephanie Meyer
I am Isabella Marie Swan (but I prefer Bella) and I'm leaving the always rainy and always cloudy, Forks Washington, for the warm and beautiful Hawaiian Islands; to be exact, Pearl Harbor. I am an army nurse and have been ordered to ship out to Hawaii along with my best girls Alice, Rosalie and Angela. We were just seeing our last patients of the day before we shipped out, when a tall solider with messy copper hair and piercing green eyes walked into my station. I shook my head to recover myself and turned around and said, "Step over to the table and lean over please."
I started to get all the necessary shots that were required for him and right when I was about to stick him I head this velvety voice say, "Please just give me a second. I don't really like needles." I held back a chuckle. Normally I would have just said 'sorry honey, the big boss says we stick them so we stick them' and jab it right in him but something in his voice made me want to be a little nicer to him. So I just said, "Would you like me to count to three?" He nodded breathing a little heavier when I pulled his shorts down a little more and started to count, "1… 2… " and jabbed him.
His head shot up and he yelped, "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IT ON THREE!"
I couldn't contain my laughter at his reaction; giggling as tears started forming in my eyes. "And what kind of soldier is willing to take Hitler head on but makes a nurse count to three for one shot like a child?" I shook my head in mockery. "And by the way solider, you still have four more shots to go." Yes that probably was not very professional of me but I couldn't help it. He just looked at me with slight anger and embarrassment in his eyes. "Now don't take this in a bad way but is it possible that I can get a new nurse? One that's a little gentler perhaps?"
I rolled my eyes and opened the curtain to Rose's side and asked, "How about her?"
It was perfect timing as there was this gorges blonde sticking in five shots, one after the other and looked up with that 'don't mess with me pretty boy' look. The soldier jumped back. I wiggled my finger around and pick up another syringe.
Before I knew it we were all done so I pulled up his shorts and said, "Okay pretty boy, you're all set now." I turned around and started to clean up my station so I could get out of here because I still had some packing to do before our flight. Unexpectedly, I felt someone grab my wrist (which usually I would've snatched my hand back straight away) caused me to freeze as an electric current that charged between us was so strong.
I don't know how long we stood whilst electricity passed between us, with his hand on my wrist before he said a word. "My name is Edward not pretty boy. Surely you should've known that since you read my chart, didn't you?" He gave me a crooked smile that took my breath away.
I had to blink a couple of times and clear my throat stepping away before I could speak. "I am sorry uh…"
He gave me the crooked smile again saying, "Private Edward Cullen," holding out his hand. I took it, feeling that electric current flow between us again. I knew he felt too because stared into my eyes and mumbled, "What is this?"
I wasn't able to say anything back as a whirlwind of short black hair busted in yelling, "BELLA! BELLA! BELLA! READY TO CATCH SOME SALIORS?"
I jumped back two feet away from Edward and yelled, "Jeez Alice! How about you knock before you come bursting in! What if Private Cullen was half naked in here?"
She looked between me and Edward and had a slight devilish grin on her face. "Well I am sorry. I just figured you were done here seeing how what we thought our last patient left about thirty minutes ago." Apparently Edward and I had been standing holding hands for half an hour. I couldn't get any words out. I had no idea what to say to Alice; luckily I didn't. Edward walked up to Alice apologizing. "I'm sorry Miss. See Bella and I just got talking and I guess we lost track of time."
Alice kept looking back and forth between us. "Well I guess I'll let you two finish up. Uh Bella, our flight leaves at eight tomorrow so you better be up and ready by seven," and skipped out.
I swear I've never hit anyone in my life before but I wanted to hit her now. "Shipping out soon Bella?"
Oh how nice my name sounded coming from his lips. I turned around and said, "Yes but only to Hawaii."
He walked up to me and replied, "Well Ms. Bella, I guess I will be seeing you very soon." He grabbed my hand kissing it and walked out.
'Wow!' was all I could think. I looked up at the clock; uh oh it was already five forty-five. I quickly cleaned up my station and realized that everyone else had left. 'Gee thanks girls. Don't wait for me. Oh well.' I got back to the apartment for nurses and was at once attacked by three very loud, slightly drunk girls. I sighed. This was going to be a long night.
