It was 2am the next morning and Zoe couldn't sleep. Nick went home hours ago. She lay there thinking about what had happened and didn't know what to make of it all, after they made love Nick didn't stick around for very long, he got dressed gave her a kiss and left. She was so confused, she didn't know what this meant.
Did this mean they were back on? Or was it just one final screw? She asked herself. All she could think of was the way he was with her, the way he held her, like nothing had happened. She got a churning in the pit of her stomach when she thought about him not wanting her anymore and she didn't like it, it made her feel sick and emotional.
Before she knew it she was waking up to the sound of her alarm going off, I must of drifted off in the early hours she thought to herself. She got up made herself a coffee and trottled off to work, she was nervous about seeing Nick, she didn't know how he'd be with her.
She walked in and it was quite for a change, there was no patients shouting to be seen because they'd been sat there hours and hours and no Mr Jordan barking orders at some unsuspecting F2. There was no doubt in the least that she was shocked, she went to put her things into her locker and get ready to see today's patients. Later on she was stood at the nurses station signing some prescriptions and discharge forms and asked Tess "so where's the little ray of sunshine that's Mr Jordan today? Is he in a good mood or his usual trying self?" "erm.." just before she could finish what she was saying a voice popped out of the blue "good morning Dr Hanna how are you this fine day?" it was nick, she replied "Hello Mr Jordan I'm fine thanks, you seem happy this morning" with a smile, Nick said "well I've suddenly realised life isn't so bad after all, so what isn't there to be happy about" and gave her a cheeky wink and walked off. Tess then said to Zoe "well someone's happy this morning" she replied "yeah someone must of put something in his tea" they both laughed and off they went back to work. Zoe didn't really see a lot of Nick that day he was busy with admin and audits and was mainly in his office, she really wanted to see him and knew he was in a good mood, all because of last night's antics she hoped. So she went up to his office at the end of the shift and he was still sat there doing paperwork, he was pretty fed up with it. She knocked on the door as she was walking in, she was the only one who could get away with walking in without his permission, he looked up and smiled at her stood there and said "yes Dr Hanna what can I do for you" she replied "erm well I just wanted to see you really" "yes what about?" he replied quickly. Walking towards and round to his side of the desk she replied "oh nothing in particular just you" she stood next to him as he sat in his chair, still looking down at his paperwork. She put her hand under his chin, moved his head to make him look at her with those gorgeous eyes and planted a soft kiss on his lips, they both smiled. Zoe said "you looked like you needed that" Nick smiled at her, took her by the waist and cuddled her, one hand on her back and one on her bottom whilst she cuddled him back, one hand on the bottom of his neck and the other down his sleeve rubbing his arm. Nick suddenly said "I've missed you" Zoe replied "I've missed you too" they stayed in that embrace for what felt like an eternity when it was really only a few minutes. Nick then pulled his head back, stood up and kissed her soft lips ever so gently as if they were going to shatter and said "come on lets go home" took her by the hand and led her out the door. They walked through the ED and to the car park hand in hand, Nick didn't care who'd see them he just wanted to be with her, they got into his car and drove to his flat.
Once there they had a cuppa, put on the tv and sat together on the sofa, Nick had just bought himself a new corner leather suite, so he sat on one end and Zoe on the other with her legs sprawled out towards him. Zoe was tapping her fingers on the sofa so Nick took her hand gently and kissed it and said "now stop it" and smirked she just said "make me" and smiled then went back to watching the tv again. They were watching Eastenders Nick never liked it but Zoe quite fancied a character called David in it she said he reminded her of Nick but he couldn't see it. 5 minutes later she started tapping her fingers again and Nick said "that's it" jumped up grabbed her legs, pulled her towards him and started tickling her, he knew how she hated to be tickled all the time she was screaming with excitement trying to stop him but the more he carried on. Then suddenly he stopped looked into her eyes, (he loved it when she laughed) and kissed her as passionately but as gently as before whilst caressing her cheek, he saw the Zoe he fell in love with all those months ago and the feeling was coming back like a wave, thick and fast and there was nothing he or anyone else could do about it.
They lay there for a while Nick in-between her thighs so she couldn't move even if she wanted to, him leaning on one hand for balance as to not put too much weight on Zoe, whilst Zoe had one hand rubbing his back and the other on his lovely round bottom, which she loved to squeeze when getting intimate. Zoe then leant forward and kissed his neck, he loved being kissed around his neck and so did she. As she kissed his neck she unbuttoned his shirt, she loved to see his gorgeous manly, hairy chest and to run her fingers all over his body, as she was doing this he started to kiss Zoe's neck whilst also unbuttoning her shirt, every button that was undone was followed by a kiss and soon enough he was kissing all the way down her body which made her moan in ecstasy, he chuckled to himself. He then slid down her skirt and smiled to see her black lace underwear he'd bought her for her last birthday. Nick went back to Zoe's lips as her hands went to his trousers to unbutton and unzip them. They took their time and kissed every inch of one another but it wasn't long before neither of them could wait any longer, Nicks trousers and boxers were down to his ankles, Zoe's panties were flung across her room somewhere and they were entwined. All the time kissing and touching one another, they were making love and it felt so right. Nick was going slow but deep and hard and Zoe loved it, groaning in ecstasy all the time when they did eventually hit breaking point they both let out the almightiest moan.
Nick placed his head down on her shoulder to get his breath back and whispered "now that's what I'm talking about" Zoe let out a laugh, he picked his head back up looked into her eyes, said "I love you" and gave her the most passionate kiss a man could ever give a woman, then laid down behind her under the throw with his arm around her gently kissing her neck, Zoe gave him a kiss and got up, he said "where you going?" she replied "to freshen up be back in a min" he replied "okay don't be long" and smiled, she bent over and kissed him, he tried to pull her back onto the sofa but she wasn't having none of it and walked to the bathroom.
Looking at her reflection in the bathroom mirror she looked really happy, really tired as well, her hair was a mess too but she was happy and that's all that mattered, she freshened up, put on Nick's dressing gown which was obviously too big for her and went back into the living where Nick was fast asleep on the sofa he looked so peaceful so she climbed back on with him, turned around, put his arm around her waist and laid there looking at him. She couldn't believe that it had happened again. She couldn't believe that the man she loved had forgiven her. She couldn't believe that she was lying there minutes after making love, in his dressing gown cuddled up to him and she wasn't dreaming. Most of all couldn't believe that he said he still loved her, she was so happy and vowed it was going to work this time and not she or anybody would screw up this their final chance of happiness!
