Hello everybody, this is the second chapter, called "Sunday" it is also the name of a Hurts song :D Anyway, enjoy.
CHAPTER 2:SUNDAY
Zoe's eyes fluttered open. A small gap in the curtains let a ray of sunshine into the bedroom, which shone on the beautiful pair of hazel eyes looking down at her.
"Morning sleepy head, what would you like for breakfast?" Nick Smiled.
"Toast please, Mr. Jordan, oh and would you get a glass of orange juice too?" Zoe said, yawning.
"Certainly Dr. Hanna." Nick winked at her. Zoe loved it when he did that, it was one of the many things she had missed when they split. Nick climbed out of bed and went through to the kitchen, while Zoe drew the curtains to let the dazzling sunshine through. Last week it would've just been another lonely Sunday for Zoe, sitting at the table eating her breakfast, with no one sitting at the seat opposite her. But today was different.
Three minutes later, Nick came through with the orange juice and a plate of crumpets.
"Ummmm what happened to the toast?" Zoe said.
"Well I saw these and as I know you love crumpets I thought you would like them instead." he said jokingly.
"Not as much as you do Nick!" Zoe shoved a crumpet into his mouth. "You know I don't like crumpets!" She laughed as Nick bit off a large chunk, pretending to look annoyed with her.
"Yes I know, Zoe. I'll be back in a few minutes." Nick smiled. He went back into the kitchen, taking his crumpets with him. Zoe smiled when she heard the sound of something frying. Obviously the toast would be accompanied by an egg or something.
Later, Nick came back with fried egg on toast.
"Better?" He said.
"One hundred times better thank you." She smiled and kissed him.
After eating her breakfast Zoe said,
"Nick why did you forgive me so quick? I still feel terrible about what I did, I thought you would never forgive me."
"Because I was too stupid to stop and think about why you lied. I understand why you did it, but I do wish you had told me sooner, Zoe. You can tell me anything."
" Nick I'm so sorry" Zoe's eyes started to well up. "I should've told you, I should've known I can tell you anything. But I was so scared I would lose you, Nick. All I did was dig myself in deeper. I wish I could go back in time and start again, and make it all right."
"Zoe it is alright. I'm here now, and I'm never going to leave you again." He kissed her tenderly, and Zoe felt much better.
"Well I suppose we'd better get ready." Nick said, and he went to choose a shirt to wear. When he picked up a white one, Zoe said,
"No Nick, I like you in blue better." She smiled.
"And what tie do you think then?" Nick said. "You have a good eye for fashion." He thought of the lovely pencil skirts she wore and smiled.
"The dark blue with dots." Zoe replied.
"Good choice." he said, and went into the bathroom to get changed and put on his Hugo Boss aftershave. Zoe changed into her usual pencil skirt and pink shirt, complete with black heels.
After they were both ready, they got to work to find a load of drunk people who had been clubbing and fell into a large ditch, leaving them with cuts all over.
There was also a boy who had a saucepan stuck on his head, and an old lady who had broken her leg. Nick took the boy, Zoe the lady, and Lenny, Kirsty and Adam took the clubbers. Noel whispered to Big Mac,
"Are they back together then? Did you see how close they were walking to each other when they arrived? Mr. Jordan ran out of his office yesterday before even letting me finish what I was saying, typical Mr. Jordan eh?
"Indeed." said Big Mac, "they definitely look back together alright."
At lunch break, Zoe went into Nick's office to find him dealing with patient documents, as usual. He greeted her.
"Hello Zo, is Mrs. Simpson (broken leg lady) all right?"
"Yes she's doing well, Nick."
"Jolly good. Something you need?"
"Oh just here to deliver your coffee." She smiled.
"Thank you Zoe" He took the cup. Zoe opened the door to leave.
"Oh and Zoe?"
"Yes Nick?" she said.
"How do you fancy fish and chips tonight?" He grinned.
"I'd love to, but Nick Jordan eating fish and chips? I thought you were I
italian, after all" She said jokingly.
"That's HALF italian Dr. Hanna, I'm also half english, so I do like english food as well" He laughed. Zoe closed the door smiling.
Four hours later, it was time to go. Zoe left, only this time with Nick by her side.
They drove to the nearest chip shop, which wasn't too busy as it was sunday.
"Can I take your order please, Dr. Hanna?" He smiled.
"Scampi and chips please Mr. Jordan." Zoe laughed.
He kissed her on the cheek and got out the car, walking across the road to the shop.
She smiled as he looked at her from inside, smiling back. Six minutes later he was back with the food.
"Why don't we go to that spot near the bridge?" He asked. "We can watch the sunset."
"That sounds perfect, Nick."
He started the engine, turning on the radio and flicking through the stations before settling on Classic FM. Zoe smiled to herself. Usually she would switch to Radio One as soon as he did that, but this time she let him have his way. They arrived at the little car park overlooking the river, the setting sun glistening off the calm water.
Nick offered Zoe a bit of battered fish, which she took and nibbled at while he ate a chip. By the time they had finished, the sun had long gone.
"That was delicious, don't you agree?" Nick said
"It was lovely." Zoe said, "Could it be any more perfect, sitting with you watching the sun set?"
"Maybe it could." Nick smiled, and he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lips. She kissed him back. Now it was completely perfect.
