Game Changer
Chapter 13
It had been a few days since Hannah's parents and been in. And since Zoe had told Hannah to tell Max how she felt. She hadn't and they hadn't come out to the ED either. She had been avoiding him. Sleeping when he got back to her apartment or going out for groceries. Or having sex with him to avoid talking.
"You've been avoiding me," he said, cornering her outside the hospital.
"No I've not," she said. "I see you all the time."
"Have I done something?" he asked.
"No," she answered.
"Then what is it?" he asked. "I don't feel we've talked since your parents were here. Not that I mind all the sex but we need to talk to each other as well."
"I love you," she blurted out, before slapping her hand over her mouth. "Sorry that just came flying out."
"You should have just said," he smiled, pulling her towards him.
"Well I didn't feel the middle of the ED was the time or place. Then I got scared," she answered.
"I love you too," he whispered.
She smiled and kissed him.
"What about everyone else?" he asked.
"Screw them," she whispered, kissing him again as their colleagues came out of the ED entrance.
"Max, Hannah you coming to the pub?" asked Zoe.
"Yeah we'll be over in a minute," said Max, looking no where but Hannah.
They entered the pub moments later. Got their drinks and headed to sit down.
"So I see Hannah finally fell for the Walker charm?" asked Noel.
"Is that why you wouldn't go out with me?" asked Caleb.
"She feel for it ages ago," answered Max.
"Define ages," said Louise.
"When he first asked me out I said yes just in private," answered Hannah. "I just you guys know me he's my first boyfriend."
"You wanted to get used to it without prying eyes?" asked Louise.
Hannah nodded.
"So Robyn your best friend and your brother," said Rita.
"I found out months ago," said Robyn.
"I caught them outside the pub months ago," added Zoe. "Well I saw them."
"So when Hannah and Max both disappear from the ED you're covering for them?" asked Rita.
Zoe nodded.
"Where do you go?" asked Caleb.
"Max's store cupboard," answered Robyn.
"Hooking up on the job Dr Tate?" asked Caleb.
"A lady never kisses and tells Dr Knight," answered Hannah, finishing her coke.
"That's a yes," said Rita.
"I'm going to the bar," answered Hannah, getting up and walking off.
"Guys lay off a bit," said Max, before following her.
"They mean well you know," he whispered, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and dropping a kiss on her head.
"I know," she whispered.
"I love you," he whispered.
"Love you too," she whispered, kissing him.
