This Is Your Song | 10
.: General Hospital :.
Another fucking emergency Hospital Board meeting.
Johnny growled to himself as he stepped off the elevator. He hated these damn things. Sure, it gave him an excuse to come by the hospital and see Nadine, but other than that? Total bust. He hated all those other idiots on the board and wanted to tell them all to just die already and spare him the torture of having to attend these damn things.
Okay, maybe that was a little petulant of him.
But he was in a bad mood this morning, so he really didn't care.
He heard her laughter as soon as he stepped onto the fifth floor and when Johnny looked over, sure enough, there she was. She was standing in a group of interns and orderlies, all of them dressed in different colored scrubs. She wore pale blue, a good color on her, and was laughing at something a doctor in dark pink wore.
Johnny wrinkled his nose. What kind of self-respecting man wore that color?
The fucker in pink leaned an arm against the counter, but Johnny saw it for what it really was: an excuse to get even closer to Nadine. He said something that made her laugh again – oh, what a funny man – and his fingertips brushed against her arm playfully.
Johnny rolled his eyes and headed toward them. Really, was it his fault that the board room was right down that hallway? Not at all. And while he was here…
He felt her jump a little when his palm found the lush curve of her bottom, right where his hand had rested on many occasions, and when Nadine gaped at him he offered her only a polite smile.
"Beg pardon, miss. Late to a meeting. If you'll excuse me."
He slipped past her and walked down the hallway to the board meeting, feeling her eyes on his back the whole time.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Nadine walked down the hall, humming to herself, and smiled at Leo when he walked past. Leo was a nice guy. A nice, dependable, upright kind of guy. She enjoyed being able to work with him, even though she was a pediatric nurse and he was a resident, so their paths rarely crossed, but he was handsome and charming and polite and supportive and God, she loved it when he flirted with her. He flirted with every woman there, of course, but he did it in such a charming way that no one took it badly or seriously. He was one of those guys that just loved women in general, and that the women at General Hospital liked to be around.
Johnny Zacchara sure didn't like to be around him, though, from what she'd gathered. God, that stupid boy had scared the crap out of her when he grabbed her ass like that. For someone who insisted that they keep their relationship on the down-low so that no one else had a chance of finding out, he was very possessive, even in public.
Stupid boy.
Leo would never dream of grabbing her ass. Only stupid apes like Johnny Zacchara would dream of doing so in public, where anyone might have seen them.
God.
But she had to admit, it was thrilling. It made her stupid, she knew this, but she couldn't help but feel a little thrill every time he touched her or looked at her in that way that screamed for everyone else to back off – even though it was a sentiment that couldn't be voiced for obvious reasons, but she saw it all the same.
No boy had ever looked at her the way Johnny did, and no boy had ever touched her the way he did, equal parts gentle and possessive. She'd be sure to put him in his place if he came to be an asshole about it, but sometimes she just like to sit back and let him be snarly about her and go completely caveman on her. He really was just that cute.
God, it was so stupid, the things she'd let him get away with just for the sake of that cute smile and even cuter tush.
Nadine giggled to herself and made a mental note to refer to his ass as a 'tush' in front of him some time, no doubt ensuring a major freak out on his part since apparently macho men like Johnny Zacchara were not in the possession of a tush, and she was altogether unprepared when a door to her right opened and she was yanked into the darkness and slammed up against it.
He kissed her sweetly before she could scream, and Nadine relaxed against him as soon as the familiar scent of citrusy cologne hit her. Johnny braced an arm on the door above her head and when he pulled back, she could make out his bright eyes.
"So." His fingers grazed the line of her jaw. "Who was the asshole with the ponytail?"
There were two ways to handle this: she could either get mad at him for being a jealous loser, or she could have some fun with him.
"Who? The guy who gave me a free milkshake just now? That's Kevin, he works in the cafeteria and knows I like mine extra thick."
Johnny closed his eyes in exasperation. "No, the one in pink."
"Oh, the pink dress shirt? That's Doctor Mulligan, our new gynie. He had a golf date with Doctor Ford this morning, that's what's with the fancy duds. All of the girls are running to him for check ups, and get this, I beat all those dumb whores and totally scheduled a pelvic exam with him for later this week. Score!"
He was looking downright cross, and it was terribly amusing. "No, no, the asshole in pink scrubs and the ponytail who was all over you."
"Ohhhh," she feigned, grinning cheekily up at him. "That was Leo, one of our residents. You're going to have to be more specific, Zacchara, there are tons of guys around here who are 'all over me,' as you put it."
Even in the darkness, she could see his eyes narrow dangerously. "…You're making fun of me."
"Only a little," Nadine grinned. "And only because you deserve it."
"Yeah?" he challenged, backing her up against the door again. "And let me give you exactly what you deserve…"
She pulled him to her without any preamble, running her fingers through his thick, dark hair as Johnny slipped a leg between hers and rocked his hips gently into hers. He didn't even need to keep her pinned to the door: she knew how it went by now and in the tiny little supply closet, the door really was the best place to go at it.
His hands were at her sides, slipping under her scrub top and the baby tee she wore underneath, eager to feel her smooth skin. She was always so warm and soft and curvy, so perfect under his rough, dry hands. Nadine was impatient and whipped the shapeless scrub top off, flinging it onto the shelf before reaching for him again.
She knew just how to get him worked up and before long he was hard and straining against the fabric of his pants. Nadine groaned as Johnny nibbled and sucked on her neck, that one spot that just drove her wild, and frantically grappled with his belt. She had it undone in seconds and was pulling his zipper down, eager to feel him in her hand.
He kept kissing and nibbling on her neck, driving her absolutely crazy, and she let out a sigh of relief when she wrapped her hand around him, finding him hard and absolutely burning. Johnny groaned, resting his head against her shoulder as she ran her fingertips up and down the length of him. He growled and nipped at her ear and she knew it was his way of letting her know he was too close for her to play with like this. God, she loved it when he was like this: so reckless and wild and focused on only one thing, the one thing she could give him, the one thing she had total power over.
Johnny was yanking at the drawstring of her scrub bottoms, shoving them down and tugging down her underwear with them. Nadine didn't even bother with his shirt or jacket, just shoved his pants down to his knees along with his boxer briefs, and reached for him.
Johnny prodded her to lift her legs, though she was somewhat constricted by the scrub bottoms at her ankles, and Nadine managed to grip him with her thighs as he positioned himself. He looked deeply into her eyes, his strong arms holding her up, before he entered her smoothly.
Nadine groaned and threw her head back and Johnny kissed her neck, holding himself still, deep inside of her. He kissed her neck, his arms trembling now a little as he held her up, and began to move fast. He was sure they were making a racket, going at it against the door like this, but as long as no one busted them before he finished, he was fine with it.
Helping her along was no trouble; he knew exactly how to move and exactly how to touch her to get her off. Really, it was alarming how good he'd gotten at getting her off. He never stayed with a woman long enough to really learn her body this way, but with Nadine, it was practically second nature.
He removed his lips from her neck just in time to catch her cry when she came, her muscles clenching down around him, and moved just a little faster to find his own release. His arms trembled, stronger this time, when he finally let go, and Nadine gripped him as tightly as she could with her hips to keep them both upright.
He was breathing hard, his forehead resting against hers, and she brushed his hair back and kissed his chin. Johnny purred and nipped at her lower lip, and they stayed that way until their breathing returned to normal. He reluctantly let her down and she yanked up her scrub bottoms as he looked around for a tissue with which to dispose of his condom. Once that was settled, he yanked up his pants and quickly zipped them and fixed his belt.
Nadine ran her hands over her hair, trying to make herself look presentable, and he surprised her by batting her hands away and tucking her hair behind her ears.
"Don't you have a meeting or something that you were late to?"
He grinned and gave her a quick peck of a kiss. "It's been delayed. One of the executive members was running late."
Nadine grabbed him around the waist and pulled him close, kissing him deeply, and as she did so, reached around behind him and gave his ass a good squeeze. Johnny jumped, startled, and Nadine grinned as she discreetly reached for the door knob.
"Turn about's fair play, Zacchara."
And with that, she opened the door and moved with it, and Johnny fairly fell out into the hallway, turning around in surprise when she quickly closed the door, locking herself back in the closet before anyone saw.
He straightened his jacket, glaring at the people that stared at him, and walked briskly down the hall, absolutely certain that he heard her giggle behind that blasted door.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh, my gosh, what is that?"
"Do you see the size of that thing?"
"Holy crap."
"Was that there this morning?"
Johnny walked out after the board meeting and passed the hub, where that asshole Leo and a bunch of others, including Elizabeth and some nurses he barely recognized from his party, were watching Nadine go through her patient binders.
"That is one monster hickey."
"Wow."
"I didn't know she was with anyone."
Well, that asshole Leo sure knew it now. Sure enough, right on the side of Nadine's neck, high and prominent, was a dark, fresh hickey. Personally, Johnny was amazed that she hadn't noticed how he'd been sucking on her neck the whole time, but it was obvious that everyone else noticed now.
He smirked and walked past her, making sure to smile at her politely before he got in the elevator.
