First ever fanfic, proper nervous about writing this but have been spurred on by all the amazing stories already on here.
Nick's phone bleeped again. It hadn't stopped since he had left Lara in bed that morning; he had woken up in her bed nearly every morning for the last month. Lara was young, tall and beautiful… everything Nick thought he wanted, but it still didn't feel right, not that this stopped him from sleeping with her most evenings.
'Babes… what time is your shift finished tonight ? L xx'
A pang of guilt came across Nick; he didn't want to reply because he knew he had already led her on too much, but he also knew that she was too hard to resist… her body was unbelievable and Nick found himself falling at her feet every single time he saw her. This, for Nick, was simply about sex. He wanted someone there at night to fulfil his needs, but didn't want all the hassle. Part of him thought that Lara was fine with this situation but part of him felt like a total prick for taking advantage of her. He had recently tried to have a relationship with Yvonne; a police officer, but the fact they both had high stress jobs and mainly worked anti-social hours meant that the relationship was doomed from the beginning and they both knew it. They had ended on good terms, something that rarely happened for Nick, but it was just never going to work. This is why Nick had this attitude towards Lara, he had tried and failed so many times at the whole 'relationship' thing that it was almost as if he wouldn't allow himself to get too interested in someone again for fear of it failing. If he was only in it for the sex then surely nothing could go wrong?
'Not 100% sure. Probably soon, you want me to drop by before you go out tonight? N x'
Lara was young, maybe too young, 24 years old to be precise. This meant that she had a burgeoning social life, and Nick saw this as a positive; she was very unlikely to want to settle down and probably wasn't going to drag him off to meet the parents anytime soon. "Nick get a grip, stop feeling so guilty, this is just a bit of fun and she is totally ok with it."- he murmured to himself as he waited for her reply.
'Yeah! can't wait to see you big boy! L x'
He smiled to himself and thought about fucking her and his pants suddenly got tighter, he would definitely be leaving the ED soon!
'Ok ;) N x'
His office door flew open; it was Zoe. She was still the only one in the whole place who didn't bother to knock. They had such a history; he still loved her and she still loved him. He knew it. Every single time he saw her he felt like his heart was in his mouth but it was just never going to work as too much water had passed under that bridge and it broke his heart. "Here are those files you wanted." Zoe said as she smiled at Nick with that beautiful smile. Nick replied with a wink, "Thanks Zo, have a good weekend yeah?" "Yeah I will! You too! Behave yourself Nick! " she shouted as she closed the door. Nick just grinned to himself, she knew him like the back of her hand and she knew he was seeing someone. He couldn't keep anything from her… but he was ok with that.
