"How was the wedding?" Max asked as Zoe walked into reception, having not seen her in days.
"Miserable" She answered, placing two boxes of admin on the reception desk for Louise to carry to her office. "The church was cold, the service was boring and the grooms father made a creepy pass" She complained, her face turning disgusted as she re lived the event "But, you can't beat a couple of days in Dudley... Did you miss me?" She teased, raising her eyebrows at him.
"Just a bit" He chuckled. In fact, he had missed her a great amount but no doubt they'd spend tonight together. "I still can't believe there's a bride who'd risk inviting you to her wedding"
"I didn't drink that much!" Zoe exclaimed, Max knowing her too well.
"No, what I mean is, there's a man in a marrying mood and then he sees you" He sweet talked her watching her grin "Bit risky that isn't it!"
"Are you trying to tell me something, Max?" She teased; the way he spoke was as if he wanted to marry her.
"What I'm saying is that every man wants to marry you, and the man who does finally make an honest woman of you will be the luckiest guy in the world" He said in a serious and loving tone, making Zoe blush; she wasn't used to people being nice to her. Watching her do so, he quickly changed the subject "Anyway, I hope you knocked granddad back when he made a pass" Max said, jealous of another man giving Zoe attention.
"Of course I did" she replied, batting her eyelashes proving her innocence as he followed the trail to her office.
"Good I'm glad" He said, shutting the office door with a swift kick. Drawing the blinds so the two had complete privacy, Max kissed Zoe as she leant again her desk. Breaking away, he undid the belt of her coat and snaked his arms in and around her waist pulling her closer, running his fingers up and down her back as she responded by looping her arms around his neck. "His pace maker would give up if he had a session with you" Max cheekily grinned making Zoe laugh.
"That's why I like them young, so they can keep up" She mumbled against his lips, once again her lips connecting with his. As their embrace got heated Zoe, drew away in time as Charlie came bursting into her office, making the two lovers jump.
"Everything okay?" Charlie asked Zoe as Max stood with his hands in his pockets, looking very shifty.
"Yes, I was just telling Max about the basic life support course he'll need to take, for when he's ever alone with a patient" Zoe lied, quick thinking.
"That's a good idea" Charlie nodded, agreeing as he believed Zoe.
"Anything you needed?" said Zoe.
"Yeah, RTC in bound, ETA roughly 5 minutes." the senior charge nurse informed the clinical lead.
"Thanks, I'm coming now" Zoe smiled gratefully taking her coat off and grabbing her stethoscope as Charlie exited her office.
"Go on then" Max said ushering her out of the office "do your thing boss"
"I'll see you later" Zoe whispered seductively, winking at Max as they parted ways.
