I have been writing this tonight whilst watching the Eurovision song contest and have been getting on pretty well with some future chapters but anyway here is chapter three and this one is from Emily's point of view and introduces another favourite from the series.

Thanks for the reviews and for adding this to your favourites and alerts :-)

Chapter Three

One Week Later

Emily

I was sitting in the physio office staring into space, I was beginning physio with Naomi today, the doctor had assessed her and given her the all clear to begin. I couldn't seem to get Naomi out of my mind since our chat last week; she had the most gorgeous blue eyes that have a sparkle to them. I knew I couldn't think like this she was just another patient that I was going to do my best to get moving again. I took a deep breath and pushed any thoughts to the back of my mind thinking that they would go away.

I wandered down the corridor towards Naomi's room and softly knocked on the door, she smiled in my direction as I asked "You all ready to do some work?"

Her smile turned into laughter "As ready as I'll ever be."

I couldn't help but laugh with her, she looked even more beautiful when she smiled, I really couldn't help but think that it was a shame she didn't smile more often "Ok well let me track down my helper so we can get you moving from this bed, he will be off flirting with one of the nurses somewhere."

She nodded "Ok, I'll be here."

I smiled before putting my head around the door and spotted him instantly leaning over the nurses desk "Cook, I need you down here not flirting up there, I have work to do."

He spun around and flashed me his cheeky smile that I'm sure he thought would get him out of any kind of trouble, he should know by now that it won't work on here "Keep your knickers on I'm on my way."

I slapped him on the arm as he finally reached my side, he pretended to be wounded until I threatened to do it again and he quickly slipped into the room, I quickly followed him in before he started cracking on to Naomi, I smiled as Naomi looked past him towards me "Naomi, this is Cook he is one of the porters that works here and now he has stopped flirting with the nurses he is going to help me transfer you into the wheelchair so we can go to the physio room and start putting you through your paces."

Naomi laughed "Well I will put my faith in the pair of you."

We eventually made it to where we needed to be and Cook supported me to lay Naomi on the mat in the centre of the room, I could see his eyes wandering over her body the whole time we were together with her, he looked in my direction "Now then little red I think you will be needing me to stick around for this one."

I rolled my eyes and couldn't help but notice Naomi smile "Cook I will say this politely as we have a patient in the room but I'm sure you can imagine the words circling my head right now but no I do not require your assistance during the session, be back in an hour and not before."

He pretended to sulk but he forgets I know him to well now and he slowly left the room as I turned to Naomi "Ok now he has gone let's get to work, we are going to start really slowly and build it up gradually so today I am just going to work on your leg strength and kick start those muscles again. Does that sound ok?"

She nodded her head slowly "Yeah I think so."

I smiled "Good, now I know you are going to feel some pain, I wouldn't be doing my job properly if you didn't but I need you to promise me that if the pain gets too much you have to tell me, there are ways I can manage it but I can't if I don't know. So do we have a deal?"

She smiled and spoke quietly "Yeah."

I returned her smile "You don't need to look so worried, I will take good care of you."

I couldn't believe it when Cook returned an hour later, I have never had a session go so fast, I know this was only the first session with Naomi but I could already tell I was going to enjoy working with this girl, yes she had an attitude and could be sulky and a little madam but it wasn't anything that I couldn't handle I knew underneath it all somewhere there would be a softer side to her, a side I was determined to expose at some point along the line. I smiled at Naomi "Well looks like that is it for today we will increase your hours over time but as I said we are starting slow, how you feeling after today?"

I could see the pain in her eyes as she replied "Sore but I am determined to get back to where I was before the accident and I know that pain is a part of that."

I looked directly at her "Just sore?"

She grimaced "No I'm in fucking agony but it's not too bad that I can't cope with it."

I smiled slightly "Well let's get you back to your bed and I shall sort you out some pain relief."

She smiled as Cook stepped up beside us "Ok then let the Cookie Monster and Little Red get to work and make you comfortable again."

Her smiled once again turned into laughter as she rolled her eyes at Cook "Seriously the Cookie Monster I'm not even going to ask but I am slightly confused as to why you are calling Emily little red."

I laughed as I listened to Cook explain this one "Well Naomikins I have known Emily here since college, she helped me get the job here and get my life back on the straight and narrow, anyway back in her college days she had the brightest red hair and as you can see she is pretty short so I came up with little red but then when she finished uni and was a professional physiotherapist applying for jobs she decided she should go back to her natural brown."

Naomi laughed "Well I guess you have a good reason for the nickname then." She turned to me "I bet you looked good with red hair, not that you don't with brown." She stumbled a little "Sorry, sorry I didn't mean anything by that."

I laughed "Don't worry about it, I know you didn't." I was conscious that Cook was watching the interaction between us and I was doing my best not to let my mind wander with thoughts of Naomi just because she commented on my appearance "Maybe I'll show you a picture one of these days."

She smiled "That would be nice, might as well know a bit about you sounds like we are going to be spending a lot of time together."

I laughed "Aren't you the lucky one."

Within fifth teen minutes Cook and I had Naomi back on her bed and I arranged for her to have some pain relief with the nurse on duty, as soon as she had it I saw her relax slightly and I could tell she was tired "I will see you tomorrow then and we will take things a little bit further, make sure you get plenty of rest now."

She smiled weakly and her eyes closed once again "Yeah will do."

I walked towards the door as her mum came in; I smiled and quietly spoke "She's just nodded off."

I couldn't help but notice that Naomi had her mums smile "Ok love, I will sit and read one of her books until she wakes again. How is she doing?"

I smiled "I can't say too much without Naomi's permission but I can say she is doing pretty well, she is a strong girl and I think with some hard work we will have her back to her normal self."

I noticed her mums smile grow a little "That is good news, I have been pretty worried about my girl, she has taken all of this pretty badly which is understandable but I've never seen her like this before."

I smiled "I've seen things like this before and I can see that Naomi will get through it. I saw some determination from her today."

Her smile remained "That is one of the best things I've heard since I was told my girl had woken up."

I couldn't help but continue to smile "Well I aim to please."

She laughed "Thanks, Emily isn't it?" I nodded and she smiled "Well thanks Emily I really appreciate you sticking with her I know she can be a grumpy cow at times."

I laughed as I walked away leaving Naomi with her mum.

A few minutes later I was sitting at the desk again writing the notes on Naomi's file from today's session and I couldn't help daydreaming as thoughts of Naomi returned to my mind. I knew I needed to stop thinking like this, she was my patient.
