Please reviewJ, the fight us coming up soon!
Nick could feel the staff's eyes on him as he walked from the staffroom, around the ED and into Zoe's office, well the office she now shared with Connie Beauchamp.
"Connie, can you give us a minute?" said Zoe who was clearly telling Connie not asking her
"Sure" said Connie who was trying to act as if she was concerned "if you need anything"
"I will tell you" said Zoe smiling as Connie walked out the door
"Not" said Zoe as soon as the door closed
This made nick laugh as Zoe was sorting through some papers which were scattered along her desk.
"I see you haven't lost your attitude" said nick smiling
Zoe never answered as she knew that she was going to have to say no to nick, no to her supposed dream man, the man she had loved for the last 6 years and was just starting to get over.
Zoe wanted this to go quickly and smoothly so that nick could get out of her life as quickly and as quietly as possible.
"Nick, listen" said Zoe who was getting down to business
"You have moved on" said nick immediately "I get it"
"Do you?" said Zoe who wasn't sure if nick had actually got the message because after all he hadn't when Zoe had been with matt, or was max going to end the same? With Zoe running back to nick, cause had she really changed that much?
"Yes, I get it" said nick "you probably have someone way better, young, handsome, smart"
"You are all of those things" said Zoe smiling "well except young"
Nick smiled and laughed at this and so did Zoe, when her eyes met with his.
"But you need a young man who can keep up with your party lifestyle" said nick
"I am not like that anymore" said Zoe looking at the ground "those days are gone"
"So Tess told me" said nick who smiled slightly
"What else did Tess tell you" said Zoe who unknown to Tess had seen her with tears in her eyes
"Just what has happened since I left, in her personal life" added nick in almost a whisper
Zoe's eyes widened
"Nick don't repeat any of what she said to you, to anyone" said Zoe in a serious voice
"Well Charlie was in the room, so he knows" said nick in a relaxed tone
"Nick I am being serious" said Zoe
"Ok, ok" said nick surrendering "but I don't see what the big deal is"
"The big deal is that the first time I ever saw Tess cry was when that happened" said zoe "it broke her heart when she got rid of the baby"
"What?" said nick that was completely confused "you are telling me that Tess…"
"Nick we are not in here to talk about that" said Zoe who was trying her best to end the conversation that she had just started
"What are we in here to talk about?" said nick
Zoe sighed and sat down
"So what has he got that I don't" said nick as he sat down
"He makes me laugh, he makes me smile, he makes me happy and most of all he doesn't care that I'm a doctor" said Zoe
"Well there is still one thing that he hasn't got but I have" said nick
"And what is that?" said Zoe looking at her computer screen as she wasn't remotely interested
"Love" said nick
"What?" said Zoe who shot nick a dirty look
"You never said that he loves you or you even love him" said nick
Zoe looked at the ground as she suddenly stopped typing, nick had her cornered
