Game Changer
Chapter 1
She was a well respected junior doctor. Kept work life and personal life completely separate. Until him. He was a cheeky, charming porter. He was a game changer and he changed her game.
Until he walked into the ED with the drugged up girl and his injured hands she never looked at anyone in the ED. She treated patients, she did her hours and she went home. Don't get me wrong she wasn't a recluse she had friends within the hospital. She went for a drink with them most Friday nights. She was just partially anti – social. She had close group of friends from childhood but after high school and college they spread to different unis and then different jobs and now only kept in touch via phone, text and social networking. At the age of twenty four she'd never had a boyfriend. She had been interested in boys been on a couple of dates but they all seemed to want one thing and she was just not that kind of girl.
Then he walked in and now he was working there. She was outside getting some fresh air.
"Got a cig?" asked a voice.
She turned her head and there he was.
"I don't smoke. I just need some air. When I get a minute I come out here," she answered.
"Never even tried it," he asked.
She shook her head.
"Ever wanted to?"
"I thought about it," she replied. "But then I thought about drinking more alcohol."
"Why don't you drink more alcohol?"
"I can't stomach it," she replied.
"So you're strictly a soft drinks girl?" he asked.
She nodded.
"I'll keep that in mind," he replied.
"Well I'd better get back in," she smiled.
"Do I get a name?" he asked.
"I don't know your name," she replied.
"Max Walker," he answered.
"I knew that."
"Why'd you ask them?" he asked.
She shrugged and headed in.
"Hey!" he called. "What about a name?"
She popped her head back around the entrance of the ED.
"You'll just have to find out," she answered.
