Hi! It's me again. I got to thinking that I have not read any stories where Mike is the center of a love story. So, this came to me the other night. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks to Soldier Heart for being my ever faithful beta reader. I couldn't do it without you!
Please read and review. Your opinions and ideas matter to me. Let me know what you think!
Disclaimer: I do not own the guys, wish I owned Mike, but can't, so I write stories instead.
Mike Stoker walked in the Fast Check store, telling himself he would be in and out. One thing he hated most was going shopping. All those people who didn't know how to drive those little carts. Mike always thought they should give lessons on how to drive one.
He began walking down the aisles, getting the items he needed. He sighed as he neared the end of his list. Only a few more things and I can get out of here.
He was getting a loaf of bread when he felt his cart hit him in the hip. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"
He looked to the source of the voice and his eyes met with the most beautiful caramel brown eyes he had ever seen. It took him a few moments to answer.
"Oh, I'm okay, Miss...?
"Kent. Elizabeth Kent. You are?" she asked, extending her hand to him.
"Mike Stoker. It's nice to meet you."
"Same here. Are you sure you're okay?" she asked.
"Yes I'm fine. I've had worse things happen to me on the job," Mike replied grinning.
"Oh really. And what do you do for a living?"
"I'm a fireman. I drive the fire engines. You?" he asked. Boy she is cute!
"Oh, I work as nurse." God, he's adorable!
"Really, where?"
"Rampart General."
"No way! The two paramedics that I work with are based out of Rampart. What department do you work in?"
"Pediatrics. Who are the paramedics you work with?"
"Roy DeSoto and John Gage. Do you know them?"
She chuckled before responding. "Oh yeah, I know them. When I first started working there, Johnny asked me out. I turned him down. I felt bad about it later on."
Mike started laughing too. "Believe me, you are not the only one. He gets turned down all the time. But he always bounces back. Johnny just likes anything in a skirt that moves."
"I believe it. Well, I have to be going. It was nice to meet you Mike Stoker," Elizabeth held her hand out again. Please ask me out! Please ask me out!
"It was nice to meet you too." Should I ask her out? Go for it Mike, you can do this! "Can I take you out to dinner?"
"I'd love that." She wrote her name and number on a piece of paper and put it in Mike's pocket. "Call me soon." With that, she walked down the aisle and out of sight.
Mike sighed with satisfaction as she walked away. He took out her number as walked down the aisle to finish his shopping.
You'd better believe I'm calling you soon. The other guys will be jealous!
