Chapter 1
Throwing her coat over her back Neela hurriedly rushed out of the doctors lounge. Her double shift had been exhausting, filled with traumas and thousands of er consults, and it didn't help she still had Harold breathing down her neck asking her question after question about sex. She smiled at Frank on the way out giving him a quick wave of her hand.
"Bye Frank."
"Yeah sure, whatever." was her reply from the obviously uninterested Clerk.
Rushing out into the cold she sighed, at last she was free, fresh air and 24 hours before her next shift. Pulling her coat tighter around her body against the cold she hurried to wards the el station.
"Hey Neela wait up." She sighed inwardly, halting her brisk walk and turning on her heel to see a very puffed out Harold. 'Just great' she thought to herself. "You getting the el?" Fighting the urge to roll her eyes she replied.
"Yeah." He wasn't too bad, you just had to get used to him and once you got used to him he would be just fine. He smiled at her, showing a goofy set of teeth.
"Cool, maybe we could take it together." She smiled sweetly.
"Yeah, I can see why that makes sense." The sound of humor in her voice. "But no more sex questions or else I'll push you in front of the el." He smirked at her and they began walking towards the el.
"I promise."
"So you'll save it for the guys." His smirk grew wider and she couldn't help but laugh at him.
"I'll save it for the guys." She nodded slightly as they made their way up the stairs.
Neela made her way to her door, scrapping through her bag for her door keys, and after finally finding them placed them in the lock, twisted them and swung open the door to her (technically Abby's) apartment. Tossing her coat and bag onto the sofa she sighed and made her way to the kitchen. She put on the kettle, pulled out a mug and placed it gently on the bench. Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil she wandered into the lounge and pressed the flashing answer phone. She had two messages. Still listening to her messages she returned to the kitchen to finish making her coffee. One from her mom, another from Abby about a girls night out. Nothing too surprising. The last one was the one that surprised her though.
"Hi Neela, It's Lucien." She closed her eyes hoping he wasn't going to confess more feelings for her, he never called, why was he calling now?
"There's been a slight problem. Look I know you just got off and you've been on a double but Dusty can't come in, he's really sick apparently. So yeah I've called around and I have everyone that can coming in actually coming in. I mean you know you've been and in we're short as it is and there's been a major trauma on the freeway, at least ten cars involved, fires etc. Anyway I won't bore you with the details, at least not yet. So erm. . . if you could let me know as soon as possible I'd be really grateful. Bye."
Letting out a frustrated groan Neela sank into the couch hardly able to believe the events of the day. Taking a large sip of coffee and picked up her bag and coat from beside her. Taking one more sip of coffee she put down the mug and made her way back to work for what seemed to be the most exhausting shift of her life. But unbeknown to her it would turn out to be a lot better than she assumed.
Walking, actually walking through the ambulance bay Ray greeted Frank. Taken slightly aback Frank gawked at him.
"Yeah don't stare Frank its me. Have you seen Neela about?" Recovering from the original shock Frank replied.
"Erm yeah she went home about. . " He glanced at his watch. "Half an hour ago, but we have a massive trauma coming in and she's been called back." He glanced at his watch again. "Yeah she should be in any minute. Oh speak of the Devil." Turning round Ray became face to face with her for the first time in months Ray's heart leapt into his mouth. She looked good, she looked more than good, she looked beautiful and she was his Roomie. He took a step towards her and she swayed in front of him her eyes wide.
"Neela?" Suddenly her eyelids fluttered and her legs buckled beneath her before she fainted, collapsing gracefully into Ray's arms. "Oh my God, Neela?"
