Chapter one
Everyone has their ways of flirting.
There's the subtle hand wave.
The more outlandish Todd's way.
Then there's Doctor Cox's way.
I lean against a counter at the nurse's station while Carla, Elliot and I watch as Dr. Cox talk it up with a new nurse.
He turns her against Kelso.
"He's either the devil or works for him," He starts out.
Then he talks his self up.
"I can bench press 450," He says while subtly flexing his muscles.
Finally he goes in for the kill.
"So, Friday?"
"I don't think so," She says coldly.
"Husband? Boyfriend?" Dr. Cox says then adds. "Girlfriend?"
"None of the above," She says and walks away.
"No luck?" Carla asks as Dr. Cox walks over to us.
"Lesbian," He chalks up.
"Then why did she just accept a date with Wolfman?" Elliot asks curious.
"What?" Dr. Cox exclaims turning toward the sight. "Damn."
"Guess you're not her type," I say.
"Thanks for the news flash, Stephanie," He growls.
"You could always go back to Jordan," Carla
"Absolutely not," Dr. Cox says forcefully. "I'm done with that she-devil bitch."
"What about Jack?" Carla inquires.
"Joint custody," he sadly says. "He's with her this week."
"Here, Bambi," Carla says changing the subject. "You need to sign this."
I take the chart and pen.
Turning the pen around with one hand, I drop it.
"Oops," I say and bending down at the waist picks it up.
Turning back to Carla and Elliot, Dr. Cox is no where in sight.
"Where did he go?" I ask looking around for him.
"Patient's room," Carla says.
"Yeah after he looked you over," Elliot says ecstatic
"Elliot," Carla hisses a warning to her.
"What?" Elliot asks clearly not getting it.
"What are you talking about?" I ask not getting what they are talking about.
"Ever since he broke it off with Jordan, he been looking at you when you haven't been looking," Carla confesses.
"What?" I ask not believing a word I heard.
"Won't believe if I didn't see it myself, Bambi," Carla comments.
"But it doesn't make sense," I says totally confused.
"Maybe he's looking for other opportunities," Elliot says.
"Because of one no?" I ask.
"In last three weeks, all he has got are nos," Carla says.
"Why are you telling me this?" I inquire.
"Because ever since your first day here you've been trying to get Dr. Cox's attention," Carla says.
"As a mentor," I try to justify it.
"After 5 years, he's not your mentor anymore," Elliot says.
"But he doesn't even like me," I exclaim.
"You never know, Bambi," Carla comments.
"Just to prove you two wrong, how do I find out?" I ask.
"You could wait until he makes the first move," Elliot suggests.
"Or…" Carla starts.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Newbie," Dr. Cox says walking past us. "Come."
I look at Carla who gives me a nod then follows Dr. Cox's lead.
They walk into a private room with not patient in sight.
"What…"
That is all I get out before Dr. Cox closes the door and pushes me on to the bed.
Then he gets on top of me as he takes off his shirt and helps me off with mine.
"What…" I try again but am cut off by Dr. Cox's lips on mine.
I can't help but moan into it.
