Nick and Zoe have returned from their random holiday in Blackpool, are they ready to face the prospect of everybody in the ED knowing their business? Is Adam still on the rampage after Nick's harsh words?
What's the next step for Nick and Zoe?
Lets find out…
Love, lies and truth
"What time is it?" asked Zoe rolling over to press pause on the ipod in its doc, it felt like the middle of the afternoon to her, Nick and her hadn't got home till gone 4 in the morning, they stayed awake not wanting the night to end, but they eventually fell asleep on the sofa in front of the shopping channel.
This morning Zoe felt quite cranky "its half nine" yawned Nick cuddling up to her and closing his eyes again "Nick" she snapped shoving him away "come on shake yourself we're in work soon, Nick looked at his watch double checking it" "oh we got hours yet Zo" he said sleepily "no Nick not hours come on! my cars still in the ED car park I need to get to my place for a change of clothes" she wailed, Nick sat up tilting his head with one raised eyebrow "correct me if im wrong but your trained observer is giving out a signal suggesting that something might be wrong with you this morning"he said with a cheeky grin.
"Nick, oh just leave it, shut up and get changed, you look a mess, I need a lift to my place" she shouted heading out of the room "NOW NICK" she instructed, he grunted and lifted himself off the sofa "alright, don't get your knickers in a twist" he muttered under his breath "I heard that" Zoe yelled back, she had the hearing capability of a bat this morning thought Nick as he wondered to the medicine cabinet and took his pills, he stood for a moment holding his back, it still wasn't right, Zoe stampeded her way past him and stood leaning against the front door "Nick come on we don't have all day!" she screeched "what's the matter with you this morning Zoe" Nick enquired sounding hurt, Zoe could see that watery look in his eyes, she felt bad now here he was trying to look after her, trying to make sure she was ok, letting her know he was there for her, she watched him wipe his eyes and pick up his car keys, "catch" he said throwing to them to her "you go il stay here" he continued sharply turning and walking away. Zoe heard the bathroom door slam.
She shook her head whist unlocking the front door and proceeding to Nicks' car, why am I such a bitch sometimes she thought to herself, she didn't mean to be so nasty, she was just worried about going back to work, walking into the ED having people thinking about how she let them down, on a day they were short staffed of all days, she had just dropped everything and disappeared with Nick "hold on why am I feeling bad" she shouted "it was Nick's fault!"
Back in the flat Nick had made himself a coffee, he contemplated making some breakfast but he wasn't that hungry, he was confused; him and Zoe had had such a fantastic week, his mind drifted to a cloud of loved-up bliss but he was interrupted by a shooting pain in his head "ahhh" he groaned wrapping his hands around his skull, leaning forward blood dripped to the floor, his nose was bleeding, he quickly got up and stumbled to the bathroom just in time to throw up in the sink.
He leaned over the sink holding his nose, it took at least half hour for the bleeding to stop, he stood there staring at his reflection in the mirror, he got cleaned up and returned to the sofa, resting his head on the back, he felt scared, he always had a headache in the mornings, sometimes he felt a bit sick, but a nosebleed is something that had only happened once before and it turned out to be nothing, but he knew his time was running out, maybe the big man upstairs was finally calling his number out, he shook away the thought, he was starting to frighten himself as his heart raced, he took a few deep breaths and forced himself up, walking to the bedroom he stopped, his vision was blurred, ears were whistling, echoing sounds rang out from somewhere, he was sweating as he fell against the wall.
Zoe came in just in time to see him collapse to the floor.
"Nick" she cried running over "Nick can you hear me" she pulled her phone from her pocket and began to dial 999 "Zoe no" slurred Nick grabbing the phone and throwing it as far away as possible, he grabbed her arm to stop her chasing it "please Zoe, hold me" he whimpered tears steaming down his face, she looked into his eye and saw pure fear "oh Nick come here" replied Zoe holding him tight as he burst into floods of tears gripping her as if it was the last time he would ever see her, Zoe was crying to now.
They held each for what seemed like hours "come on Nick" said Zoe helping him up "lets get you to hospital" "NO" he shouted "im ok, just had a bit of a dizzy spell that's all its nothing, I feel fine now" he continued, Zoe knew he hadn't completely lost consciousness's but that meant nothing "right get ready im taking you to Francis" informed Zoe "but" "Nick I mean it" she yelled cutting him off, he did as he was told and got into his work clothes, he knew something wasn't right he hadn't had any trouble for months, this was a bolt out of the blue, he was trying to fight the tears back, but they wouldn't stop drowning his eyes.
They got to St James hospital, Nick had called Francis on the way to inform her of his arrival. Straight away they did a CT scan. Zoe and Nick patiently waited in Francis's office, they didn't speak they both sat staring into space hand in hand until Francis burst through the door, she walked over to her desk and sat down "im glad you have brought someone with you Nick" she said giving them each a short sharp glace, oh god, no good has ever come from those words Nick thought. "can you tell me what happened" she continued looking at Nick "um well I just felt a bit dizzy that's all" he muttered "No he did not just feel dizzy he collapsed" interrupted Zoe looking at him with rolled eyes "anything else?" questioned Francis "Nick its important you tell me" she said firmly "Nick" yelled Zoe nudging him "ok, ok I felt a pain in my head, had a bit of a nosebleed and I might have been a bit sick then I went dizzy" he shouted putting his head down, he didn't like being pressured, he could feel Zoë's eyes burning into the side of his head "what, You never mentioned anything about half of that to me" Zoe fumed "Zoe I told you im fine" he snapped back "well your clearly not fine Nick are you, you have a brain tumour it could bleed at any moment you could…." "I think we are forgetting why your here" interrupted Francis cutting Zoe off, there was an awkward silence for a few moments, "right now we are all calm lets get to the results" said Francis turning her computer so all three of them could see the screen, she used her pen as pointer "there is some slight swelling in this area just here" she said pointing "however this is perfectly normal, its not significant enough to worry" "oh thank you lord" Nick sighed "so what was wrong with me this morning" he questioned with relief "well it was probably just a glitch, lack of sleep maybe" she answered "well I didn't really sleep that much last night" confessed Nick "I was driving most of the night" Francis gave Zoe a suspect look "well I suggest you start taking it easy, you need to look after yourself, however should anything like this morning occur again I strongly advise you to call an ambulance, if the tumour should bleed time is of the essence" she informed as Zoe butted in "I tried calling an ambulance and he wouldn't let me" "I wouldn't let you because there was nothing wrong" Nick argued "ok you too, lets keep calm here" said Francis cutting them both off "lets just be thankful that there is nothing to worry about" she continued ushering them out of the room after shaking their hands.
Back in the car Nick turned to Zoe who was still angry and said "Zoe im sorry, I was just scared this morning, I just" "Nick its ok" replied Zoe kissing him, then starting the engine, Nick sat looking out the window, he knew that if and when the tumour did decide to bleed that it would be game over for him, over the last few months he'd realised just how precious and fragile life was, also how unfair, he couldn't help but think he hadn't yet fulfilled his dreams, he still had so much more to give, so much more to do.
Someone once told him that what we do says what we are – and what he did was saved lives, he gave people that second chance, looking at Zoe he saw the woman who gave him his second chance - at life – "nothings fair in death" he muttered without realising it, Zoe turned "um what Nick" she asked "oh nothing Zo, I was just thinking" Zoe couldn't help but notice he looked like a scared bunny, it wasn't like him, Nick Jordan wasn't scared of anything. He had come face to face with his own mortality; she placed her hand over his and squeezed it.
They stopped at café for some lunch as they still had a few hours before they had to go to work, Nick had his usual bacon sandwich with brown sauce, Zoe on the other hand went for a more healthy option being a plain salad "what you eating the rabbit food for?" questioned Nick with his mouth full "turning vegetarian are we" he chuckled, Zoe lifted her head and half smiled "im not that hungry" she answered moving the food around her plate "never understood people who don't eat meat, what do they think teeth are for" said Nick "maybe its because they care about our world Nick, killing animals for Sunday dinner and Christmas offends some people" stated Zoe half smiling "oh right so if their so concerned about the animals why do they eat all their food?" replied Nick looking smug, this man was not only the biggest risk taker she'd ever known he was also the man who always had an answer for everything. "I don't know Nick" she answered admitting defeat steeling a piece of bacon that had dropped out of Nicks sandwich, "I like a women who likes her meat" smiled Nick shoving the remainder of his food into his mouth causing brown sauce to dribble down his chin.
Zoe noticed an old bloke eating an all day breakfast looking over at them with a frown on his face, he picked up his paper pointedly and lifted it up to his face "fuck you" Zoe mouthed to the daily mail "what's up?" questioned Nick wiping round his mouth with a napkin, Zoe didn't answer she just flashed him a smile and stood up to walk round to his side of the table, he turned to get up to but Zoe stopped him, she was standing between his legs, she took his arms and placed them round her pulling his head into her stomach, she ran her hands through his hair and they hugged lovingly, they were each others first love, they both felt it would almost certainly be their last, no matter what happened they would never love anyone else as much as they loved each other.
Some time later they made their way to the ED, Zoe wouldn't allow Nick to drive in case he had another funny turn, she pulled his Mercedes into the car park "some bastards nicked my parking space" yelled Nick, Zoe looked at him "um I wasn't aware you had your own parking space" she said looking confused "I always park there, everyone knows that, there for its my parking space, and that's Adams car! im going to kill him!" Nick yelled.
As he went to get out the car he was pulled back by Zoe "Nick we'll find another space" she backed the car out and turned into the underground car park where she parked up "you should watch your blood pressure" she said looking at Nick who was already half out the car.
Zoe followed "Nick" she called "yes Dr Hannah" he replied clearly in work mode, it was like someone had flicked a switch and he'd turned into pig headed Nick Jordan clinical lead again.
She marched up to him and kissed him hard pulling him by his tie over to the car, plonking herself down on the bonnet "be careful Zo you might scratch the paint work and the way you were driving I was going to say its only just passed its M.O.T and I don't.." she kissed him cutting him off "I want my M.O.T Jordan" she said passionately in a demanding voice, he was quite taken back by her advances as she shoved her tongue into his mouth whilst unbuttoning his shirt and disposing of his tie "ohh Zoe no, we cant" struggled Nick, but he couldn't fight her off, her hands were everywhere "oh yes we can" insisted Zoe like a woman on speed as she grabbed his package, she squeezed and rubbed furiously, Nick had to let out a short groan, she could tell he was loving it, once he gets started he cant stop, he kissed her neck and put his hand up her top and into her bra, she unzipped him and let his stiff cock out wanking him hard as he moaned into her neck whist playing with her breasts, Zoe was soaking and throbbing between her legs now, she wanted him, she took his belt off and undid his button to release the beast fully, she cupped his balls and stated squeezing them, he pulled away and turned her round to face the car, she knew what was coming next, he lifted her skirt up, pulled her knickers to the side and lifted her leg up before he thrust into her, she let out a loud moan as he hammered his solid pole in and out of her, she smashed her hands down on the bonnet to steady herself but it didn't work, her upper body was slipping and sliding everywhere, but his cock stayed deep inside her, "ohhh ohh Zoe" Nick panted getting faster and harder, Zoe thought he was going to rip her open "ohhh Nick im coming" she yelled just as a car sped into the car park, Nick pulled out and fell to the floor as he go tangled up in his trousers that were round his ankles, Zoe pulled her skirt down and leaned on the bonnet just in time to hear "everything ok Zoe" came Charlie's voice from the rolled down window of the passion killing car, "Charlie um yes absolutely" "that's Mr Jordan's car is it not? Is he here?" he questioned "um yes, yes he's around ….somewhere" stammered Zoe "well see you inside" replied Charlie having a good look round before driving off.
"Nick come on lets get inside" whispered Zoe as Nick appeared from behind a near by car "hiding from your staff" Zoe chuckled, Nick shot her a look of horror whilst fiddling with his tie "Zoe I am professional surgeon I do not hide from my staff" he replied doing a funny walk out the car park.
He headed straight to his office ignoring all the 'good afternoons and how are you's' Zoe followed, she closed the door behind her as Nick shut the blinds, he moved closer to her and kissed her, she could feel he was still aroused as he pressed against her "Ohh Mr Jordan" smiled Zoe moving down, releasing his cock and placing it in her mouth sucking hard, he held her head in place and began penetrating her mouth "ohh Zoe yes now" he yelped, getting his balance by forcing his hands against the blinds, breaking them as he filled her mouth with hot watery spunk just then the door sprung open "Mr Jordan I" Nick and Zoe both turned in panic as they saw Adam standing there with his mouth wide open "um" muttered Zoe after swallowing the contents of her mouth "I can explain" added Nick hiding his manhood with his very fortunate long shirt "don't tell me she was checking you for testicular cancer" interrupted Adam "oh um you might wanna sort out those blinds" he added "your needed in resus" he finally said closing the door behind him "shit" muttered Nick composing himself.
They sat there staring silently ahead "well that's a part of me I never thought Adam would see" Nick said turning his head towards Zoe, she didn't reply she started giggling and then the two of them burst into fits of laughter…..
