Indi: Thank you for the review, I'll get back to writing Iain and Ruby soon.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 454
Ethan's POV.
I didn't think anything could get me over Alicia, in the days, after she'd left, I called her phone, but all I got was "Hi, this is Alicia, I can't take your call right now, but leave a message"
The first message I left her was: "Alicia, it's Ethan, call me, I hope your ok"
She never did call back.
The second message I left was:
"Alicia, it's me again, just calling to check how you are"
After the third voicemail, I thought it was best to leave it, she was my past, I had to move on. What was it, Cal had always been saying: "You only live only, Nibbles"
He was right.
But where to start? I wasn't the type to bring home one night stands as Cal had been. I didn't fancy signing up to a dating website. After work one night, Will persauded me to join him, Jacob, Charlie and David in the pub, I agreed. Will brought the first round.
"Let's play a game of truth or dare" He suggested, as he put the drinks down.
All of us boys were up for it, Cal would have had a right laugh with us if he had been here.
"Right, Ethan, true or dare" Said Will, spinning an empty beer bottle.
"Dare" I said, I already had a tatto saying "Be More Cal" What could be more painful than having ink permantly on your skin?
"I dare you to kiss her" Will pointed to a nurse who worked at the ED, I vaguely recongised her as Jess, a quiet nurse.
"Alright, " I replied, pushing my chair back. "Be more Cal" I kept saying to myself as I walked over to her. "Hey" I said.
She looked up at me. "Hey, " She replied, a small smile on her lips.
"Can I get you a drink?" I asked, wanting to get to know her a bit better before I kissed her.
"OK" She said.
"What can I get you?" I asked, noticing she had a empty glass in front of her.
Behind us, I could see Will mouthing "kiss her"
"A white wine, please" She replied quietly.
"Coming up, I said, telling the barman. The barman puts a white wine and a larger in front of me.
After we both drowned our drinks, I decided it was time.
This was it, I pressed my lips to hers.
"What are you doing?" She asked, shocked.
"Kissing you, " I replied.
"I don't know you" She said.
"We work together" I replied, as she brushed past me and left the pub, I walked over to the lads.
"Smooth, Ethan" Will smirked.
I sat down, groaned and put my head in my hands. I had wanted to get over Alicia, but I had just made a fool of myself. I could see Cal teasing me now. "Nice one, Nibbles"
I enjoyed writing this. Hope this was something along the llnes that guest had in mind.
