Chapter 7
Here's the next chapter. It's quite short and I'm not completely happy with it but it'll have to do. Please review I love hearing what you think! Any ideas you may have would be much appreciated! Enjoy. Nicola xox
Zoe slowly closed the door behind her and leaned back against it, her eyes fixed on Max the whole time. He was standing in the middle of the dimmed room holding a bunch of flowers. On closer inspection she noticed it was a bunch of roses - a mixture of white and red. Max took a few cautious steps forward and handed the flowers to Zoe. She took them and looked up at him.
'They're gorgeous Max' She took a step forward. 'What's all this for?'
'I need to show you how sorry I am and how much I love you'
'Max I…' She was immediately cut off by Max's index finger resting on her lips. No man had ever had this effect on her - not even Nick Jordan.
'Just let me speak' He took Zoe's hand in his and looked straight into her eyes. 'From the first moment I set eyes on you I fancied you. I wanted so badly for you to be mine. Well…actually at first I just wanted you in my bed but anyway' Max smiled when Zoe chuckled at this comment. 'I've never sent anyone flowers before so that just proves that you mean something to me. When I started falling for you it scared me. I'm a skint porter and you're a beautiful consultant. I thought that maybe you'd think I was using you for money or sex or something. I thought 'Why the hell would she want to be with me when she can have any rich consultant or surgeon she wants'. I should never have gone up to that girl and I certainly shouldn't of kissed her. I know I've probably ruined any chance of there being an us but Zoe Hanna I have fallen in love with you. Fallen harder than I could ever imagine and I'm truly, truly sorry'
They stood for what felt like an eternity staring into each others eyes until Max broke the silence that had come upon them.
'Well?…Look, I know I've don-' He was cut off by Zoe's lips on his. The kiss was short but full of love, exactly what he wanted.
'Does this mean I'm forgiven?' Zoe felt a smile creep onto her face.
'No. It means I've forgotten. You've still got a lot of making up to so Mr' Max smiled and kissed Zoe, putting his hands on her waist.
'I should get back before the Iron Lady has my head' Max laughed and nodded.
'Yeah you probably should'
'I expect to see you at mine tonight. 6 on the dot and not one minute later' Zoe smirked and cautiously opened the door, looking around the corridor.
'Oh don't you worry. I'll definitely be there' He smiled watching her walk out the door. 'You might want to put those in water Dr Hanna' Max said pointing to the flowers. She glanced back at him and grinned before walking down the stairs back to the chaos of the ED.
