I meant to write a little something before the story in the first chapter but I forgot. I hope you guys find my story interesting, there is a lot more to come. I don't own any of the characters, but I have used the characters of Underworld and I'm writing my own story with them but there will be things that keep to the story. Just let me know what you think so far!
Chapter 2
MICHAEL
He combed his fingers through his hair. Only a few more hours left and his shift would be over. Tonight was going to be a good night.
He kept watching the clock while trying to remember he was dealing with patients, but today he could not multitask properly. It was something about tonight that just kept his brain distracted. His body knew what going to come and that was all it cared about… all he cared about.
"Corvin!" He spun around at the sound of his name. Mrs. Pots was coming towards him. He tried to hide a smile because it wasn't her real name. It was a name the attending nurses came up with because she was small and round just like the pot from Beauty and the Beast. But by no means was she as sweet as the little teapot. He cleared his throat as she approached him.
"Here." She pushed a chart into his chest. "This patient! Wasting the time of everyone." She grumbled. "An emergency…ppshh. Since when is having sex and emergency!"
Everyone within earshot turned their heads towards the two of them. Michael Corvin raised his hands in surrender and shook his head. The other nurses snickered and continued on.
"Maryellen what are you talking about?" Michael asked in a lower voice hoping to encourage her to speak lower and calm down.
"This patient! Didn't you hear me? She comes in to the ER claiming that something was wrong and she looks absolutely fine to me!" The little woman threw her hands up exasperated. Michael knew he had to leave her or else he wouldn't be able to contain himself.
"Don't worry Maryellen, I'll get to the bottom of this. Why don't you go and sit in that chair over there. Would you like me to bring you anything when I'm done?" He asked politely.
That seemed to calm her down. She pinched his face.
"Oh, you're so sweet. If only I were 40 years younger." She put on a pouty face and then walked away leaving him standing there with everyone's eyes on him.
One of the other nurses passing him slapped him on the back and gave him thumbs up.
Michael shook his head. Just a few more hours… he'd be free.
When he walked into the patient's room she was standing and looking over the charts hanging on the wall. He looked over her quickly. She was petite but didn't look sickly. She had long brown wavy hair that ran down to the middle of her back. She seemed fine, just like Mrs. Pots said. He looked down at her chart for the first time.
"Ms. Knight?" She turned around startled. She was fair skinned but didn't appear pale from any sickness. He wondered what the whole sex business was that Maryellen seemed so frustrated about.
"Just Selene."
What a pretty name, he thought. He wanted to ask her about it and where she came from but all he wanted to do was leave this place. So he carried on. Taking her weight and blood pressure. Michael might have noticed how awkwardly silent he was being if he hadn't been so focused on his watch but it didn't matter.
He would head straight to the park after work. It was the most spacious part in the city and trees and hidden trails everywhere. He would just run and since it was a weekday he hoped he wouldn't run into many people.
But ever since that day a three years ago there was one person he was hoping to run into… him. Michael didn't know his name. Only that he changed his life forever. He just wasn't sure if he should thank him or not.
After writing everything down he closed up her chart.
"I'm going to need you to get undressed." He said.
"Excuse me?"
Something in her voice made him look up. Apparently he wasn't the only one who was distracted. His question seemed to startle her.
What was she thinking about? That thought made him want to laugh.
"For the doctor." He assured her. She seemed to relax but she also blushed. Her face colored and he saw how pretty she really was in that instant. He wanted to reassure her that it was okay and she didn't have to be embarrassed but he wasn't sure it would help or not. So he just decided to go.
As he left he looked at her again. Maybe if they were in a different setting this little first meet would have gone differently but unfortunately it wasn't. She was beautiful and mysterious, and he looked back just remember her. You come across a lot of people in New York City, but some stick out more than others. But the chances of him seeing her again weren't likely.
When he left the room Selene Knight was almost quite forgotten. He looked down at his watch. Three hours left.
Three hours until he was free… free to enjoy the night. It was going to be a full moon.
Please review :)
