Better
Chapter 3
She was gone before he woke the next morning but he knew she had an earlier shift then him. From his place in the hospital shop he watched her headed though into the emergency room.
Within minutes, two coffees in hand and a chocolate doughnut balancing on top of one of them he was heading after her.
"Mind your backs emergency medicine coming though," said Max.
Hannah watched him from across the ED, he'd better not be bringing that coffee to her. God knew she needed the caffeine to give her a boost – she'd had a late night with Max despite saying she wouldn't he was to damn irresistible – but coffee made her sick to the stomach.
"You're having a doughnut for breakfast?" she asked, picking it off the coffee cup.
"Well I was," he said, as she bit into it, grinning.
"Coffee?" he asked.
"I um I can try it," she said.
"You don't drink coffee?" he asked.
She shook her head. "Can't stand the smell. Makes me feel sick."
"Well then you don't need to try and drink it," he said. "I'll give it to someone else."
With that he headed off and she smiled after him before turning to her chart and quickly finishing her doughnut.
After a few hours the ED quietened down and she headed outside for some fresh air in the hope that it might wake her up.
"You haven't seen me," she whispered, as he came to sit next to her outside.
"What naked? Or in general?" he asked, with a grin. His arms folded against the cold as he sat down.
"Shut up," she groaned and leaned back against the bench.
"Bad day?" he asked.
She nodded. "Everything aches."
He smirked and she smacked his arm.
"Hey."
"Don't look so proud," she hissed. "God I have to go back in now."
He lit a cigarette and she coughed.
"Do I need to get rid of my dirty habit around you?" he asked.
"I can live with it, for now, some of my family smoke," she answered, as she stood up.
She walked off and resting his elbows on his knees, cig his mouth and his eyes trained on her bum.
"Stop looking," she shouted.
He laughed and leaned back eyes skyward.
