Sweeet-as-honey; I'm so happy you're liking this! It truly means a lot. I'm sorry for constantly messaging you. I feel so bad for it. I'm glad you're liking Mia. It's the way I wanted to create her. Cheeky and fiesty but caring too. I think Iain has respect for everyone he works with. Mia does have a crush on Iain but after what he told her about Rita, I don't think she wants to rush things. I just had to include Mia's little undressing scene. Thank you for the review.
LoveFiction2016; Thank you! I'm glad you think it's a good start! Thanks for the review.
Thank you to Sweeet-as-honey, LoveFiction2016, for following and favouriting!

Mia woke next to Iain. She grinned but she had a slight hangover. Mia climbed out of bed and grabbed her dressing gown. She wasn't due in work until 8am. It was only 6:30.
Mia made some breakfast. She heard scuffling so turned around. She saw Iain standing there. "Morning. Fry up?" Mia asked.
Iain nodded and thanked her. He took the cup of coffee from Mia and drank some. "You make a good coffee," he said.
"Thanks."
X-X-X
Cal, Max and Jacob were standing outside the ED. "Is that... Iain and Mia?" Max asked. He had noticed that they had walked in together.
Cal smirked. "Lucky sod. Her first day and he got her into bed. No one I've been with has been that easy."
Jacob rolled his eyes. "Just because they walked in together, doesn't mean they had sex," he said in an attempt to prevent rumours.
X-X-X
Iain and Mia were talking by the ambulance. Cal came over. "I'll see you later, Iain. Cal."
Once Mia had gone, Cal looked at Iain and smirked. "You and Mia then? Good is she?" Cal asked.
"You think we had sex?"
"You arrived at work together, Iain," Cal stated as though it were obvious. "You're a lucky man."
Iain rolled his eyes. "If you must know, Cal, then we both had a bit too much to drink so I crashed at hers on the sofa to save on taxi fare. No funny business were involved. Unless you count me and her stripping in front of each other."
Cal's eyes widened. "She stripped for you?"
"Yeah."
"Lucky devil!"
X-X-X
Mia was helping a patient. Robyn came over. "You're lucky," she said.
Mia looked up and frowned. "Sorry?"
"You and Iain! Max told me he saw you arrive together and you were giggling. You're the first girl he's been with since Rita," Robyn said.
Mia rolled her eyes. She excused herself from the patient and took Robyn to the staffroom. "Look, Iain and I got drunk last night. He fell asleep on my sofa. The only intimacy that went on was me making him coffee and a fry up!"
"Okay."
X-X-X
Iain had just arrived with a casualty. "Alright short stuff?"
"Snuffles!"
Iain rolled his eyes and he began telling Mia the details. "Okay, into HDC please. Iain, can I speak to you on your break please?" Mia asked.
"Sure shorty."
Mia grinned and thanked him. She began treatment on the patient. Cal winked at Mia. "Giving Iain a repeat of last night?"
Mia rolled her eyes at Cal. "If by repeat you mean passing out in bed and making him a fry up a repeat of last night, then yes."
"Lucky."
X-X-X
Iain was standing in the office. Mia opened the door and walked in. She had her hoodie on. "Cold shorty?" He asked.
"I'm freezing, Snuffles," Mia replied. She sat on Iain's chair. "Someone has been going around telling everyone that you and I had sex last night."
Iain groaned. "Cal and Max."
Mia smirked. "What do you say, you and I give them something to whisper about? We could pretend that we're in a relationship and act like something happened last night but we've been playing it cool," she suggested.
"I like your thinking shorty."
X-X-X
Mia went back inside as she was freezing. She saw Cal. "Doctor Knight."
"Mia."
Mia grinned and took off her hoodie. She made sure she left her phone on the side. She had changed her lock screen to a picture of her and Iain both topless. Cal picked it up. "Mia, I think you left this behind," he said.
"Oh thanks! Can't lose this. There's some intimate pictures on there," Mia told him. She winked and walked off. She text Iain -
We're on! Remember, we've been playing it cool! - M
Got it shorty! - I
Mia grinned and turned her phone off. She felt bad for playing a practical joke on Cal and Max but they had been telling everyone that Mia and Iain had sex.
X-X-X
Iain went out to the ambulance. Jez was waiting. "You're literally a dark horse."
"Why?"
Jez smirked. "Cal told me about you and Mia last night. You're a lucky dark horse. She's hot," he said.
Iain rolled his eyes but smirked. "Yeah. She's quite good in the sack. I've got no complaints," he said.
X-X-X
Soon enough, the end of the shift arrived. Mia got changed and sighed. She turned to see Iain. "Figured we could leave here together."
"Happily! You do realise that we will need to kiss on occasion," Mia said. She grinned. "Don't worry. No tongues."
Iain smirked. "Listen, shorty, I'd leave you breathless by the time I was done."
Mia grinned. She went over to him. "I felt what you have and it's slightly good."
"Slightly?!"
X-X-X
Mia walked over to her car. She jumped a mile when she saw Robyn. "What can I do for you?"
"I thought nothing happened between you and Iain," Robyn said.
Mia smiled. "Well, after we got drunk and went back to mine, we had some wine and beer. Then one thing led to another and we had sex. It was my idea to keep it quiet," she said. She felt bad for lying to Robyn but she knew she could be a gossip.
Robyn grinned. "I can't wait to tell Louise, Noel and Max!"
X-X-X
Arriving back home, she kicked off her heels and groaned. Just as she sat down on the sofa, she got a text from Iain -
Fancy sharing a Chinese? Could come and keep you company - I
Sure! Come on over! But I'm in my pyjamas which are quite short - M
I've seen prettier ;) - I
Cheeky! :P - M
Mia grinned and went to get some wine for herself and Iain. She put on her dressing gown and waited for Iain.
When the doorbell rang, Mia jumped out and let him in. "Thought I'd cover up. Just in case you couldn't handle yourself," she teased.
"Course, Shorty. Maybe you can't handle being around me," Iain replied. He handed Mia the Chinese. "You fancy dishing up?"
"Sure, Snuffles."
X-X-X
They were eating their Chinese while watching Titanic. "Why do girls always watch this?" Iain asked.
"Because, Snuffles, it's a good film and has romance, drama and it's damn emotional," Mia replied.
Iain rolled his eyes. "It's for girls."
"I can always put on mama mia. I'll get you singing along to that," Mia warned as she took a sip of her wine. "So what's it going to be, Iain? Titanic or mama mia?" Mia asked as she stroked Iain's hair.
"I'll stick with Titanic. Miles better then them crappy sing-a-long movies... Shorty."
X-X-X
A few hours later, Mia was in bits at Titanic. "Typical girl you. Crying at soppy films like this," Iain said.
"Hush! When she says, I'll never let go, Jack, is highly emotional. You're a guy so you wouldn't understand," Mia replied as she wiped away her tears.
Iain smiled slightly. "Right, Shorty, I should go."
"But I was enjoying having someone to cuddle up with," Mia said as she took the glasses and plates into the kitchen. "You could always stay the night again?"
Iain sighed. "Mia, I'd love to. But it would make things awkward between us. We're not drunk."
"Please? I've never told anyone this before. But, I have trouble sleeping since Shaun did what he did. Last night was truly the first time I had an okay nights sleep," Mia admitted.
Iain nodded. "No funny business though."
"Totally."
X-X-X
Mia and Iain went up to bed. Mia got in and pulled down the duvet for Iain. "Thank you for this. I'm just terrified that Shaun will come back."
Iain planted a kiss on her head. "I'll keep you safe, Shorty. I promise."
"Thanks, Snuffles. It means a lot."
"Okay. Go to sleep now."
Mia cuddled into Iain and she dozed off. She felt safe with Iain. She didn't know what it was but he made her feel like nothing or no one could hurt her.

A/N - I hope you liked this chapter. It only took me an hour to write! Quickest I've ever written something.
Just to clarify, there won't be any mentions of Ethan and Alicia's relationship. If anything, the only time I'll write them together is at the pub.
Hope you liked this chapter.
