Connie pulled her striking blue coat tightly around her and walked into the ED, her trademark Louboutins clicking against the tile floor. She looked around her department before going into her office and closing the door. Connie sighed and put her bag down the desk and sunk into her desk chair, not looking forward to the shift ahead. 4 staff had called in sick and she had ended up going in for a nightshift she wasn't supposed to do after having doing a 6am – 11pm shift. She checked through her emails before grabbing her stethoscope and venturing out to the nurses station.

"Right could I have your attention for a moment please" she called after clearing her throat. She waited until her staff gathered before she continued "As you are probably aware many of our colleagues have been struck down with the norovirus and are unable to work so we are understaffed and over run. Please keep hydrated and take regular breaks and if you start to feel run down come to me and I will send you home..."

Jacob listened to every word she said and smiled slightly as he heard her being uncharacteristically nice. His mind wandered as his stomach filled with butterflies. The woman standing in front of him was so perfect he could not stop staring.

Connie continued to talk and eventually sent everyone back to work, going back to her office and resting her head on the desk as she battled her tiredness. Jacob saw her and sighed gently watching her, knowing how many hours she had worked. He checked the clock and smiled as he realised he was due a break. He went to his locker, got his wallet and walked to the shop buying a gigantic redbull and a bar of chocolate and walking back to the hospital. He knocked on her office door before entering

"I have a present for you Queen B"

Connie looked up "Mrs Bea-"

"Beauchamp yes" he chuckled putting the can and bar on the table "I know you're a heart specialist and that and probably won't approve but you are in serious need of some energy"

Connie looked at the stuff, a small smile creeping onto her face "Thankyou… you are right I don't approve but thank you"

Jacob smiled and nodded "no worries sweetcheeks…keep your pecker up" he said leaving

Connie sat up properly and cracked her back as she yawned, looking at the energy drink can.

Jacob went back to work, smiling to himself as he realised he had gotten away with the sweetcheeks remark he had made.

His mind wandered as he thought of her and his eyes glazed over.

"Jacob resus please" Connie said approaching him. He snapped out of his day dream and looked up at her "Sorry what? I didn't hear you coming"

"Resus please…we have a 18 year old girl who has been involved in a hit and run and is in a critical condition" She said looking at him "Have you…taken something…you seem really…I don't know…day dreamy"

"No! of course I haven't…I'm just tired…what do you say we go and take a nap in the on call room" he winked

Connie chuckled gently "As appealing as that sounds I'm afraid I have to decline…Resus…now" she said walking off in direction of the heart of the ED.

Jacob chuckled and walked past her office, smiling to himself as he saw the can open and half the chocolate gone. He headed towards Resus with a massive grin on his face, knowing he had helped her in some way or another.
