Max's POV

I walked towards the ED when i walked into the hospital grounds for my first day to do my training to become a porter, it was cold and I didn't really want this job but i needed it. I got the job offer by my step sister Robyn because she works here as a nurse, that's a good thing because at least I knew someone while I was at my new job. I walk inside the automatic doors towards the reception looking for Big Mac who is my mentor for the day before he leaves this job.

"Hi, I'm looking for Big Mac, I'm the new porter Max"

"I'll see if i can find him for you, my names Louise"

I went and sat down until Louise could tell me where Big Mac is. I'm hoping I can meet a nice girl who is funny, sexy and can handle me. Someone immediately caught my eye, she was tanned, short hair in a bob, dressed in a black blazer,blue top and tight black skirt. She looked amazing I don't know what she works as but I hope I can see her again as she turned towards some doors that opened. As she walked through the doors, I see a man who was wearing a red top and blue tracksuit bottoms. He walks towards the desk where Louise and Noel are stood dealing with the patients who walk in with all kinds of accidents that have happened.

"I was paged"

"There's a guy called Max over there looking for you claims he's the new porter"

Big Mac walks towards me looking angrily wondering where I was, asking why I was so late. I don't really see what the problem was. He told me to go to the changing room where I was going to put on my porters uniform. After i put it on, I looked into the mirror to look at what I looked like, I had brown hair that fell on my forehead so it wasn't all filled with gel so it was natural, I had a red top with black tracksuit bottoms on which made me look ridiculous - I'm a man who cares about my appearance so wearing this will take a lot of getting used to.

2 hours later

I walked in the ED and saw that it had gotten busier. I had just came back from taking a patient to another ward where Big Mac had been following me around, all the time that I have been here - it was starting to get annoying. On our way back from another ward I bumped into three people, Tess who was the senior nurse manager, Charlie who has been here forever and Fletch even though he's been there quite a while is still new compared to some other people. He gave me a pager which he told me that I had to answer straight away because they;re might be a patient or a member of staff that needs a porter quick and there might not be any available but me so I had to keep it on me at all times. When he turned his back and went and spoke to Noel and Louise i sneaked outside to take a break when I saw the women I wanted to see again.

"Have you got a lighter I can borrow?"I asked politely

"You don't have a cigarette do you?"

"Your new aren't you" she replied handing me a cigarette

"Yeah, first day, first break actually, so I better make it quick, I got some rugby player in CT I need to get back too" I explained

"So, apart from the obvious success of bombing cigarettes hows your first day going?"

"It's a good question"

"What is it to difficult to answer?" She asked after I took a long pause

"No it's too soon to tell, see my degree didn't really prepare me for pushing trolleys so - how about you? What do you do?"

"Me?" She asked surprised

"Too difficult" I said jokingly

"Very funny, no I'm -" She said smiling

"Come on, let me guess" I asked up for a challenge

"I don't know receptionist?"

"I'm the clinical lead here"

"Are you?" I replied shocked

"And they make you stand out here to have a fag?"

"And they make me stand out here to have a fag" She replied laughing

"It's tough and I'd fight that if I were you"

"Would you?"

"Yeah"

"Anyway I better get back, can I ask you out for a drink as a thankyou?"

"I'll take a rain check if that's okay with you"

"It's not really but seen as though your one of the bosses i better not push it"

I walked back into the ED after talking with the Clinical lead. I was so shocked he was the head of the ED but it made me want her more. As soon as I walked in Big Mac looked towards me looking unhappy that I had walked out without telling him.

"Where have you been?" He asked me unimpressed

"For a break"

"You can't take your break whenever you fancy it you know, you gotta be on the ball 24/7, ready to assist people, like that police officer for example, they're on our side, well go on ask if you can help him"

I looked at him hoping he would get the message that he could ask him if he needed help. Unfortunately, he wouldn't so I had to - I was hoping he would be a pushover. I sighed while I was walking over to where the police officer was stood.

"Can I help you?" I asked not really wanting to be there "Yes, they just brought in a colleague of mine, I was wondering where he was"

"Cubicles" I answered after thinking about where his colleague might be

"Do you know where that is?"

"No"

I hear Big Mac sigh behind me and he knew that he had to come and join our conversation because I didn't know where everything is yet.

"Useless, sorry sir if you would like to go into admin and turn left "

"Show him"

"Yeah but -" Big Mac cut me off before I could finish my sentence

"Then to CT, they're waiting for you"

Fortunately, that's when I went to show him where to go because the head of the department walked in after finishing her cigarette.

"When you get payed i'll be expecting that cigarette back" "Come on let me spoil you, i'll get you two"

"Just a mate" I said this to Big Mac who looked confused

Zoe's POV

After I finished tidying up my desk I went straight to resus because I knew that another patient had been brought in who was already in the hospital when he collapsed. I didn't interfere because I knew that my nurses and doctors had everything under control. I went and checked on him and he said something to me which I asked Jamie about.

"What did he mean about the new porter?"

"Max, the new porter,he brought him in he thought something was wrong" Jamie explained

"Right i'll call the cardiologist" I said after being in shock for a few seconds

After I finished on the phone with the cardiologist Max peeped his head round the door checking to see if it was okay to come in.

"Hey"

"Hello"

"Err, Alan's wife's here, yeah I gave her a call"

"Alan?" She asked him for conformation that he wanted her here which he responded by nodding

"Send her in then, thankyou"

I received a phone call from the Darwin ward telling me that they had a bed free and that Alan could be moved up there straight away.

"Right let's get him off" I told Max and Sam

"Thank you" his wife said to me

"Not bad for a trolley pusher and a receptionist" I joked with Max which he looked at me and smiled

I went to my office where I checked to see if everything was in order for when I came in the next day. I wanted to go straight home seen as though I have done paperwork, checked to see if everything was right with what my staff have done and a long shift but I had to go to the pub because Big Mac was leaving. I arrived in the pub and went to sit down at the pub and order myself a Gin and Tonic where I started a conversation with Tess and Noel.

About half an hour later Noel had to go and surprise Big Mac with a sofa so he could relax for the rest of the time he was in the pub. We were all congratulating Big Mac on his new job when I turned around and saw Max talk to Sam and Fletch die to the fact that he was new and he needed to meet new people while he was working so he had people to talk to. He looked up as I was looking at him and he instantly smiled which made him look more attractive - if that was even possible. He winked at me while I nodded and smiled at him so he knew that I wasn't ignoring him. He started to leave Sam's and Fletch's conversation so I though he was joining new people or going to the toilet but I was wrong.

That's when he started walking towards me...
