Hello people its time for chapter ten.

Nick and Zoe have been caught in the act by Adam, now he has some concrete evidence to humiliate them with Nick and Zoe must decide whether to come clean to the rest of the department or find a way to silence Adam….

Nemesis

As Nick and Zoe rushed into resus Dixie's voice belted out the patients stats "blood pressure is 130 over 90, pulse is high as is his temperature" "right people what we got" enquired Nick confidently strolling up to the male patient "this is Kevin, 31 years old was involved in an explosion, he has suffered a multitude of burns" informed Dixie "ok lets check blood gasses and get intravenous fluids going, we don't want a circulatory collapse" yelled Nick "blood tests show carbon monoxide poisoning" wailed Ruth "got him on oxygen" said Zoe placing the plastic mask over the patients mouth "has he had any morphine" questioned Nick "10mg at the scene" shouted Jeff who was standing observing in the background "ok lets give him another 5mg please" said Nick assessing the burns "ok we have full-thickness, partial-thickness and superficial burns here so we're dealing with exposed nerve endings, cell, arteries and vain damage" "blood pressures dropping 80 over 50" declared Lenny as the team rallied round the patient "right when we get that stabilised we'll see what a burns specialist has to say, Dr Hannah can you deal with that please" instructed Nick "stabilised Mr Jordan BP is 100 over 70" Zoe called out "on heat today aren't we Jordan" muttered Adam in Nicks direction with an evil look in his eyes, Nick pulled him to the side "Adam I can really do without your underhanded sarcastic humour today" "me?" questioned Adam "Mr Jordan, patients stable shall we get him up to intensive care?" questioned Ruth interrupting them "yes, yes that would a splendid idea Dr Winters" replied Nick, he gave Adam a 'keep your gob shut look' and disappeared out of the resus and back to his office.

Nick poured himself a whisky and sat down, knocking it back before getting up to get another one, he was stressed, of course he shouldn't have been drinking at work but at that point he wasn't in the mood to play by the rules.

He grabbed the bottle and sat at his desk, refilling the glass until half the bottle had gone, feeling slightly tipsy he grabbed his phone 'You know how they say skin is the largest organ of the human body? Not in my case x Nick x' he type selecting Zoe's number and pressing send, he poured himself another whisky as he awaited her reply, sat there staring at his phone he began to rub himself through his trousers, BEEP, BEEP 'lol Mr Jordan very cheesy love Zo xxx' was the short reply unfortunately not quite the response he was expecting nor did he have a clue what 'lol' meant, he began to type a reply 'how about you come to my office and I take your temperature with my beer thermometer x Nick x' he hit send feeling very aroused, looking over at the closed broken blinds he chuckled to himself. Downing yet another whisky he was starting to get double vision which made him laugh at himself even more, this wasn't like him, completely out of character and unprofessional, somehow these last few weeks he'd developed a non caring attitude to professionalism in the work place, not when it came to patients of course but when it came to work colleges.

BEEP, BEEP went his phone 'haha oh Nick what are you trying to do to me? love Zo xxx' this made a huge grin appear on his face as he squeezed himself through his trousers, he was solid now 'come to my office and see, you can show me your CPR because your taking my breath away' he was now laughing hysterically, if anyone other than Zoe was to walk in there would be serious consequences.

He began to undo his trousers to release the live animal that was down there, gripping his cock with one hand he held the phone in the other, BEEP, BEEP 'be with you in 5 love Zo xxx' hmmm 5mins he thought again not the answer he wanted so he poured yet another whisky – a larger measure this time.

Wanking himself thoughts filled his head of the recent sexual encounters him and Zoe has shared, he was bringing himself to the point of no return as he moved his hand faster, he began letting out a few groans as he lay back in the chair and closed his eyes, he was so wrapped up in himself he didn't hear anyone walk in as he shot his load…

"um Nick" stuttered Zoe as he opened his eyes "Zoeeee" he smiled in a drunken tone, "Nick what on earth are you doing?" she questioned in disbelief "you've got um well you have you know all over the desk and look at your trousers!" she continued still in complete shock, it was as if she had just walked into the twilight zone, "I love you Zoe Hannah" slurred Nick finishing the whisky in his glass and buttoning up "Nick how much of that stuff have you had?" asked Zoe walking over and picking the bottle up to take a closer look at the content "was this full?" she continued "you will be soon" Nick replied with his hands all over her "um Nick" stammered Zoe shoving him away before turning to look at him "ohh come on Zo give us a kiss" he stuttered moving in on here "Nick your as pissed as newt!" she yelled "Zoe im… not um you know …" "pissed!" Zoe helped "yes that's the word" he stammered "now im off to see Mr Henry about his budgie cutting" he continued swerving towards the door "what? Nick get back here now!" shouted Zoe as she watched him trying to work out what the door handle was intended for "Nick come and sit down before you fall down, you cant even string a sentence together plus you've got… um .. stuff all over your trousers if they were white you might just get away with it" she ranted as she tried to drag him to the sofa "Zoe your beautiful" "yes im sure Nick now come on … sit" she screamed losing the will to live.

Eventually she managed to get him to sit down and some drink some coffee, it certainly didn't sober him up, far from it, but at least he wasn't trying to escape now.

"Right im going to get you something to eat" said Zoe "now you stay here and you do not move until I return" she ordered leaving the office.

Ten minuets later she returned with a full all day English breakfast only to find the office completely empty "oh NICK!" she shouted slamming the food down on his desk and rushing out in search of him, she knew if anyone saw him in the state he was in there would be hell to pay!

She searched the corridors looking everywhere, the wards the cubicles but nothing, where the hell was he, he had mentioned going to see Henry but he was so drunk he wouldn't be able to find Henry's office let alone be that stupid surly thought Zoe "oh shit, that's probably just what he would do" she muttered concerned as she sharply turned and headed to Henry's office praying all the time that he hadn't been so daft.

Upon passing a window on her travels she noticed a familiar figure in the car park…. It was Nick standing with a can of spray paint "what on earth is he up to" Zoe was now talking to herself she ran down the stairs muttering all sorts under her breath. She entered the car park and saw exactly what Nick was doing, just beside Adams car were the spray painted words 'NICK JORDANS SPACE' "Nick what do you think your doing" Zoe wailed getting increasingly hacked off with him, Nick turned as if he'd done nothing at all wrong "im securing my space" he replied with a smile "Nick you cant just go spray painting the car park!" Zoe yelled grabbing his arm and snatching the can out of his hand, by this time he was laughing hysterically, Zoe herself had been drunk a number of times in front of Nick, she'd been rushed into the ED, left flirty messages on his answer phone you name it she'd done it, but she was proud to say she had never been drunk at work.

A little hung-over maybe but never drunk or 'pissed as a fart' as she remembered Nick calling her once.

Stumbling back into the ED it was like a life or death dash back to Nicks office, all Zoe could hope now was that he would fall asleep in there and sober up, she couldn't keep an eye on him for the whole shift.

They burst through the door as Adam swivelled round in the chair behind Nicks desk "had one too many has he?" asked Adam with his snakes eyes "Adam please" begged Zoe "its ok Zoe" Adam cut her off "im not that bad, I was actually here to apologise to you both, iv had a hard time of late and well I wasn't coping with things, looks like im not the only one" he continued looking at Nick who was sprawled out on his office sofa with dribble coming from his wide open mouth "well thanks Adam we can talk later" Zoe replied shoeing him out and slamming the door.

She sat beside Nick as the sound of his snoring filled the room, she was far from convinced by what Adam had said, there was no emotion in his voice at all, she had often thought that deep down there were parts of Adam that weren't very nice, over time he'd become an unknown quantity, so much had happened in his life.

After the tragedies he'd been through was it ever possible for him to be normal?

Nick and Zoe spent the night in his office lucky for them the ED wasn't that busy so Zoe was just about able to hide and keep an eye on Nick.

"ohh where are we" stuttered Nick waking from his drunken stupor "its half seven in the morning" Zoe replied pouring herself and him a coffee "ohh my head" Nick yelped holding it and sitting up "whisky does tend to have that effect on people" chuckled Zoe, she had planned to be angry with him for putting her in such an awkward position, but looking at him sat their helplessly she just couldn't stay angry with him for long, that twinkle in his eye, the puppy dog look just made her insides melt, she walked over and sat next to him "how you feeling Nick?" he turned his head grunting "like iv done ten rounds with Mike Tyson" he whispered, she went in for a kiss just as he shoved her out the way and ran to the bin, dropping to his knees and vomiting "right" uttered Zoe half smiling "Nick maybe you should go home" she suggested walking over and moping his brow with a tissue "ohh il be ok" he stuttered wiping his mouth.

"Nick you smell like brewery, your unshaven and your trousers are a mess" Zoe pointed to the stain around his fly, "oh um how did that happen" he muttered, she laughed and dropped down to his level and kissed him, she didn't care that he'd just been sick.

Forcing him down onto the floor so he was lay on his back she climbed on top, her weight pressing down on his growing bulge, she massaged his shoulders through his shirt then began to unbuttoned it, swooping down kissing his face, neck then chest working her way to sucking his nipples, it didn't matter what state he was in she just couldn't keep her hands off, he responded immediately slipping off her blouse and bra, playing with her tits, rubbing both of them in a circular motion, Zoe felt him getting harder, so hard she felt he might even lift her up with it!

They took in a deep breath as the air became tense between them.

She bit her lip as he squeezed her breasts, the excitement of getting caught again was mind blowing, he pulled her down making her body go rigid as his lips met hers, they kissed slowly, soon she was responding to his kiss with a burning passion. He tasted wonderful now, and soon she was moaning as he pushed his body against hers. His hands began roaming, cupping her breasts, grazing down her thighs. "oh Zoe" He murmured against her lips. His hand travelled up her inner thigh, up her skirt to her knickers, placing his hand inside he played with her pussy which was already wet with want and desire. Unable to help himself, he rubbed her clit with his thumb and pushed his middle finger inside her, sending waves of pleasure coursing through her "oh Nick I want you" whispered Zoe in between moans and kisses, Greedily, she sucked on his tongue as her hands started undoing his trousers. As they fell open he paused, grabbing her hands as he looked into her eyes "I love you Dr Hannah" he whispered before pulling her close again.

Zoe began pulling at his trousers and boxers as he did the same with her skirt and knickers, they just wanted each other so badly.

Once naked Zoe pinned his hands either side of his body kissing him, trailing her tongue down his chin to his neck, sucking on his flesh as she moved downwards. As she came down to his navel, she felt him twitch and knew he was more than ready for her. She released his hands and took his cock into her mouth; she licked his head, teasing. As she heard a groan from him, she took in as much as she could, sucking him hard. She massaged his balls with her hands as she sucked him, moving up and down his dick quicker and quicker. He was so hot and big and raw. She was throbbing to have him inside her.

It was as if he could read her thoughts, because at that point, he pulled her up from his dick back to his mouth, kissing her he slid his hard cock into her wet pussy. He groaned with intense pleasure as he felt her tighten and squeeze around him.

"Ohhh Zoe this is defiantly a hang-over remedy I wont forget" Nick moaned as he slid in and out of her. He filled her completely. She folded her legs around his for maximum deepness as he began moving inside her, She gasped with every thrust he took. "Yes! Yes! Fuck me harder Jordan!" Zoe instructed, He did as ordered and moved harder and thrust faster, wanting all of her.

The sound of the floor creaking and their groans and screams of pleasure echoed through the office.

He banged into her, his thrusts hard with need and fast with anticipation. In a fulfilling climax, he thrust into her one last time with a loud groan as he came with her. They screamed softly as their bodies went completely still as pleasure engulfed them both.

Zoe flopped down on his chest breathing fast, they stayed entwined together for what seemed like hours.

Zoe lifted her head and looked into Nicks gorgeous brown eyes "I love you" she whispered "Mmm I love you to Zo" he replied stroking her face "its times like this I wish life could go on forever" Zoe could see tears filling his eyes "I know baby, me to" she said sniffing back a few tears of her own "your not going anywhere yet Jordan" she insisted "you've got years ahead of you yet" even though her voice was reassuring neither were convinced of her prediction, but the hope and words were good enough.

They dressed and straightened themselves out, "Zoe" said Nick looking thoughtful "do you believe in life after death, and ghosts and all that?" he asked after a brief pause, Zoe walked over and sat next to him "I don't know, iv never really thought about it before" she replied "why?" Nick looked her square in the face with a quizzical sparkle in his eyes "because if there is il never leave your side" he said smiling.

There was a long silence as an emotional atmosphere filled the room, Zoe felt a shiver run down her spine "Nick what's wrong, you shouldn't be thinking like that" Zoe stuttered trying not to cry "its almost like your expecting to drop down dead now" Nick didn't utter a word, he just gave her a haunting stare, his skin looked pail, his eyes were deep, his lips were a dark shade of blue, as he turned his head Zoe saw staples around his skull, blood oozed out of them, as if by magic the room span changing as it went.

Till there she stood, tears steaming down her face, surrounded by headstones in this cold dark graveyard, only the one that stood before her caught her eye, as what felt like a bolt of lightening shooting through her body she read the words;

'R.I.P Nicoló Jordan'

"Zoe, Zoe! Wake up its me" she shot bolt up right and looked in the direction of the voice that had awoken her, shaking her head in dazed confusion, she stared in horror at the sight of which stood before her…

Well there we go people, another chapter done; I really hope you enjoyed reading.

Confused?

Does Zoe believe in ghosts?

Is this the end of the line?

Only you can answer that….
