'It's freezing!' My flatmate Lleucu shouted over the wind, I hugged my coat tighter around me, walking into the reception of Holby City General. 'Late again, Nurse Lane.' Malik barked at me as I pulled off my coat.'Sorry! Lleucu couldn't find her keys and I hadn't had breakfa-.' Malik cut me off. 'I don't want to hear it, don't let it happen again.' He shook his head, walking in the direction he came.
'Oh, don't worry about him.' I reassured Lleucu as we walked toward the girl's locker room.
After we'd got changed into our scrubs, Lleucu and I went our separate ways; we both had piles of stuff to do. I smiled down at Dr Levy's patient. 'Your blood pressure's fine, Mr. Parker. ' I nodded once, smiling at him once more before turning around and.. Smacking right into Oliver Valentine.
'Sorry!' he stammered, taking my hand and pulling me up. 'Oh.. It's fine!' I murmured, smoothing over my scrubs. 'No harm done.' I smiled at him. 'Let me make it up to you?' He persisted, following me. 'Its fine, Ollie... really.' I giggled softly, shaking my head. 'I'll buy you coffee?' I smiled, giving in. 'Oh... alright.' He smiled at me, leaning forward to peck my cheek. 'Sorry ,again.' He smiled, turning around and walking back to his patient.
'Ooh.' Lleucu bumped hips with me, giggling. 'Hush, you.' I couldn't help but smile, as she walked away. My smile never left my lips as I walked into the back room of Orthopaedics; My smile widening when I saw Ollie with a half-built demonstration skeleton.
"Thought you might want a hand.' I smiled at him. "Only if you promise not to tell Dr. Hamilton." he replied, his eyes never leaving the skeleton."My lips are sealed." I giggled at him. "Ok. Now, I'm about 4 hrs behind the world record set in Stockholm in 1967 and only 1 and a half behind Holby's own Dan Hamilton, the Usaine bolt of skeletal erection." I shook my head.'Theres not really a world record is there?" "No." "See. Its not that difficult is it? Just like a giant jigsaw."I commented, popping a lolly-pop into my mouth. "if you say so."His eyes were fixed on the skeleton."You were really great with Nell earlier."I smiled at him, leaning against the table."Didn't help though did i?"He sighed, attaching a finger bone to a stumpy hand. "Don't be so hard on yourself, its her fault really, shes the one who put herself at risk by not admitting she was in pain." I told him, reassuringly. "That's a bit harsh, isn't it?"He looked up at me briefly."But true. She should've got that seen to months ago, got a sick note and rested instead of stressing over work." He straightened his back. 'You're right.' He grinned at me, Giving me butterflies. 'Oh you're right. You're a genius. Thank you.' He grinned at me before walking out the door. 'I love you!"
