Jealousy: A Diane-Callum-Nikki Story
Ch. 9
It had been 3 hours since Diane had run into on coming traffic and been brought into St. Hugh's and she still hadn't woken up. She had fractured and broken multiple ribs, dislocated her arm and twisted an ankle; she also had a big gash along her forehead.
'How is she doc? Do you think she'll wake up soon?' Callum asked concerned. Gina had let him stay till his shift ended; he hadn't left her side the whole time.
'Her vitals are good, and she should wake soon although she did have a big head injury.' The doctor said trying to reassure Callum.
Meanwhile outside in the waiting room Nikki was seated with her head in her hands trying to decide if she should go in and see Diane. But Nikki didn't know if she should, considering that Callum was with Diane and may not want to see her. After all, it was me who made her run out of the station. If only I hadn't of pushed her, Nikki thought sadly. Nikki sighed as she got up to leave, she knew she should be at home with her kids and loving husband Doug, not sitting worrying about someone who doesn't love her back. She knew something was up when she cringed at the thought of going home and making love to him and just relishing the mere thought of Diane. Nikki couldn't believe it was happening again. It had happened in her first marriage to Richard. They had been married for 2 and half years before she met Carrington Lieghes. She had been 22 years old and Carrington had been 20 and a copper. Nikki realised something, coppers where her weakness; blonde, female coppers. She had made the mistake once of falling in love with a woman and now she was doing it again. Her affair with Carrington had decimated her and Richard's marriage. She was glad she hadn't had kids with Richard; because what if the same thing happened to her and Doug as it did with her and Richard. For once she was actually grateful that Richard hadn't been able to have kids. At least she wouldn't have to put them through that pain again. She had to stop her feelings for Diane, she couldn't love her, and she couldn't let it destroy her marriage, if not for Doug for her kids. Nikki had made up her mind; she was going to leave the hospital and her love for Diane, forever. But leaving that that feeling behind was not as easy as Nikki had just anticipated, as someone called her name; Callum.
'Nikki! Nikki wait; I didn't expect to see you here, but, ah, Diane wants to speak to you.' Callum finished as he came closer. Nikki was shocked; she nodded and followed Callum to Diane's room. Diane looked like crap but Nikki wasn't about to say so.
'Cal, can I speak to her alone please?' Diane asked. Callum nodded then left.
'Nikki I'm so sorry about before.' But Nikki cut her off.
'Don't apologise Diane, I shouldn't have pushed you. You're with Callum and I'm with Doug. I'm so, so sorry, Diane! It's my entire fault!' Nikki exclaimed, holding onto Diane's good hand and stroking Diane's pale cheeks.
'Nikki what I said about being too late, well it's not. Nowhere near too late.' With that Diane pulled Nikki's face to hers and kissed her softly but passionately on the lips.
