Chapter 3

"Jas! Jas!" cried a young blonde nurse hurrying down the road. "Jasmine wait!"

A young girl of about 20 turned her head to look at the girl running after her. Her brown curls swirled around her shoulders in the gentle breeze. Her lips curved up into a smile, and her bright blue eyes sparkled.

"I am barely walking Betty," she said laughing.

Betty stopped next to her taking dramatically deep breaths which caused both girls to dissolve into a fit of giggles.

"Com on or we will be late!" Jasmine said grabbing Betty's arm and leading her towards the hospital.

Today they were giving eye exams and shot to the pilots on the base. This was the first time Jasmine was going to be dealing with pilots. She just hoped they were as nice as the Navy boys had been. She almost laughed out loud at the memory of all the guys that had tried to get a date with her.

When Betty and Jasmine reached the hospital they were surprised by how many pilots were still waiting in line outside. Ignoring the whistles and the cat calls they received, they walked into the hospital and closed the doors.

Danny could have sworn that he had recognized the one nurse that had just walked past.

'That looked like Jasmine...' he thought, then shook his head to rid himself of that thought. 'Jasmine wouldn't be a nurse, she liked flying better.'

Dismissing the thought he followed behind Rafe in the line heading into the hospital.

Jasmine looked at the chart that held the schedule for which nurse's would be at each station. She saw that she would be giving shots first and then switching to eye exams late. Sighing she headed toward her station.

She was preparing the shot when the first pilot walked in.

"Drop your skivvies pilot" she said without looking up.

The pilot dropped his file on the table next to her and did what he was told.

"Have you ever had this shot Mr..." she looked at his chart, "Walker?"

'Walker...Now why does that sound familiar?' She thought, 'It can't be Danny Walker...Can it?'

"No, Ma'am" Walker said "I haven't, but there is a first time for everything I guess."

She let out a small laugh at his attempt of a joke.

"Ma'am, can I ask you something?" he asked, his back still turned.

"You just did," she said, slight amusement in her voice, "But go ahead."

She still hadn't looked at him because she was busy getting the shot dosage right.

"This won't..." he paused then continued in a quieter voice so she had to strain to hear him. "This won't hurt, will it?"

Jasmine finally looked up at the back of his head.

'A pilot afraid of a shot!'

She took the needle and walked quietly to stand next to him.

He looked over at her and became mesmerized by her bright blue eyes.

"It won't hurt if you don't think about it" she said quietly.

"I am having trouble thinking about anything right now."

As he said that he felt a small prick but ignored it. He couldn't believe how beautiful she was. He loved how her curls framed her face and tumbled down her shoulder.

"Ok, move on I have other patients to attend to" she said.

Danny blinked out of his trance.

"Don't I need the shot?" he asked slightly confused.

"Well," she said slowly moving closer, "as much as I would love to stay here and chat with you..."

She leaned over his shoulder.

"You have some piloting skills to master and I have more patients to attend to."

As she said that she jabbed him with the needle.

Girmacing he straightened up and giving her one last look that clearly told her he wasn't happy, left the cubicle.

As she was preparing the next shot she couldn't help thinking, 'I wonder if I know him...He seems so familiar.'
