He kissed Zoe passionately and then looked straight into her eyes. ''I love you Zoe'' said Max. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him tightly, gently saying the words 'I love you too' right back at him.
The next morning Zoe was woken by a loud sound, only to find that it was Max singing to her. What are you play… but she was cut off when he kissed her on the lips. ''I presume you enjoy my lips better than the sound of my voice'' he said, laughing. She throws a pillow at him and proceeds to get out of bed. ''Oh, and Max, Don't you dare breathe a word about last night, to anyone, not even to Robyn. If you do, then you can say goodbye to these devastatingly, gorgeous lips of mine'' Zoe said, winking at max in the process. He looked at her with wide eyes and said ''No chance of that happening. I wouldn't screw up my chances of being with you for anyone'' She blew him a kiss and walked into the bathroom, letting the door slam shut behind her.
Max laid on the bed for a while, thinking about last night and smiling to himself. He felt like the luckiest guy alive in those few moments. He didn't know how he had managed to get his boss to like him, let alone get her into bed. He quickly got dressed and said goodbye to Zoe, leaving her flat to go to work. Zoe came out of the bathroom and walked towards the bed, there she saw a piece of paper set on the bedside cabinet. It was a note from Max, thanking her for last night and expressing his love for her. She shed a tear and smiled, putting the note inside her drawer for safe keeping.
No sooner had Zoe stepped foot inside the ED, she was met by Max. ''Nice to see you again'' he said happily, placing his hand on her cheek. Zoe sharply said ''Behave Max! People will see you'' He quickly removed his hand from her cheek and walked in the opposite direction. She felt bad for shouting at him, but she couldn't handle being the talk of the whole hospital. She isn't a huge fan of idol gossip, especially when she's the centre of it. As she walked over to her office she was called into resus, a young boy involved in an RTC had been brought in. She threw her coat over her chair, put her bag down and went straight over to resus.
Max, the porter on duty, came in to take the young boy to CT. She looked at him and smiled, he did a half-hearted smile back at her. Zoe was taken aback by this as she didn't understand what she had done wrong. Was it because she snapped at him earlier on? That was the only reason she could think of. She followed him and whispered in his ear ''Talk to me, in my office, after you have finished up here''. He blankly stared at her and carried on with what he was doing. He thought to himself why should I have to tiptoe around and keep the love of my life a secret? It's just so unfair. I want to let the whole world know about this truly amazing woman. I've never loved someone so much in all my life.
