Katie was rushing to work, there had been some sort of emergency at the hospital and she needed to get there now. She was running along the streets, weaving in and out of the crowds of people. She briefly glanced down to look at her watch when she collided into something hard. "Dammit," she yelled, rubbing her head.
"I'm sorry ma'am." Came a man's voice, "Let me help you up." She looked up at the young man with blonde hair. She took his hand.
"I'm so sorry," Katie said as she was supported by him to get up off the floor. "I'm running late and need to get to work." She could feel a trickle of something warm running from her nose.
"Your nose is bleeding. You should go to the hospital." The man said to her, she studied his face. He was gorgeous, and his blue eyes were striking.
"Yeah, yeah. Thanks for helping me up but I have to go." Katie said, mentally groaning that she needed to stop talking to this guy. She tried to get past him, but he stopped her.
"Miss you really should go. You could be hurt." He basically repeated his previous statement, and this was starting to wind Katie up.
"I don't know who you think you are but step away. I am late." Katie pushed past him rushing off.
She could hear the guy shouting after her, she sighed and turned around.
"It's fine, I'm a doctor." She called out before turning back around and rushing off.
It was late and Katie had just finished her shift at the hospital. She was exhausted, she left the hospital spotting that the diner across the street was still open. Coffee, she needed coffee. She walked inside and asked the waitress at the counter for a cup of coffee to go. She looked round the diner and saw the blonde man from earlier sitting in a booth. She mentally groaned at what an asshole she had been to this guy. He was trying to be polite and make sure she was okay. She sighed and she then realised he was looking at her. Shit…
Katie approached his booth, "You're the guy from earlier?" She half asked making it sound less of a statement and more of a question. "I'm really sorry about earlier, I try not to be an ass to complete strangers that I run into." She noticed the guy smile and do a small laugh.
"Its no problem. Steve," he held out his hand.
"Katie," she responded taking his hand and shaking it.
"Miss your coffee is ready." The waitress called from the counter, Katie turned and smiled at the waitress and turned back to Steve.
"It was nice meeting you Steve, see you around." She said smiling at him and leaving with her coffee.
