Chapter 2
The emergency department doors swung open. In the doorway stood a young; slim woman. Her long, dark chocolate hair flowed down her back. She was wearing a black skirt that hugged her figure tightly and she paired it with a grey, loose-fitting top. On her feet she wore small, black heels. She started making her way towards reception her heels clicking on the floor as she walked.
Noel was sorting through some paperwork trying to get himself organised, the site of the shoes in front of him caused him to snap his head up. He was taken aback as he realised it wasn't Connie. His eyes wandered over the body in front of him, trying to suss this mysterious, gorgeous figure out.
"Can I help you?" He asked, he tried to make his voice sound more seductive but it didn't really work.
She raised her eyebrow as though she were not impressed with his attempts, "I'm looking for Rita Freeman; I have an appointment with her."
"Oh right, you must be the new nurse?"
"Well done genius," she rolled her eyes.
"Ah you must be Emily Roberts," the voice called behind her.
She spun on her heel and was met with the blonde who was holding her hand out to her.
"Rita Freeman, I'm the Clinical Nurse Manager," Rita spoke.
Emily took Rita's hand in her own and shook it firmly.
"It's great to see you again; and thank you for this job," she smiled sweetly, her eyes lighting up.
"Right, how about you get changed into your new scrubs and I'll show you round the place?" Rita guided her in the direction of the changing rooms and handed her a brand new pair of light blue scrubs. "I'll just be at reception when you're done."
Rita made her way back to Noel.
"So, what do you think of her?" She asked eagerly.
"Well, she's fit I'll give you that," he answered, not looking up from the patient notes in front of him.
"But?" Rita encouraged him.
"She was pretty rude."
"I think she'll get better once she knows you Noel."
Rita turned when she heard her name coming from behind her.
"Where shall I put my stuff?" Emily was carrying her bag close to her chest. She had now pulled her hair back into a ponytail and her new scrubs fitted perfectly.
"If you want to follow me," Rita walked through to the staff room, Emily following closely behind. "This will be your locker from now on." She pointed at the last locker on the first row and handed Emily the key.
As she placed her stuff in the locker, the sound of two deep voices trailed into the staff room.
"Ah Cal and Ethan this is our new nurse, Emily Roberts," Rita smiled.
Cal immediately raised his eyebrows and made his way over to her, holding out his hand.
"I'm Caleb Knight," he winked. "But it's just Cal for short."
Emily looked Cal up and down; she didn't seem impressed but shook his hand anyway, so as not to seem too rude.
"Sorry about him," Ethan interrupted. "I find it better to just ignore him. I'm Ethan by the way."
Ethan did not hold his hand out to her; instead he just sat down on one of the stools. Emily watched him, she was glad that he didn't try to make a move on her, or try to seduce her in any way. He was polite and she liked that. Just as she had finished taking in the first impressions of the two men before her, another three people joined them. They too were wearing the same colour uniform as her so she guessed that they were nurses as well.
"Lofty, Robyn, Louise meet Emily," Rita announced. "Right, I'm sure these three will guide you round the place and introduce you to more people, I'm off to a meeting."
As Rita made her way out of the office she bumped into a tall man in a green uniform, she took a step and then realised who it was.
"Oh sorry Iain, should've been looking where I was going," she blushed.
"Ah it's no worries, in a rush anywhere?" he smiled back at her.
"Yes actually I've got a meeting, I'll speak to you later," she turned and made her way out to reception.
Iain watched as she walked away, he grinned and turned to continue his way back to the ambulance. But, as he did so he fell into a young, slim woman with brown hair. Whatever she was carrying in her hands had now gone everywhere.
"Sorry, I should've been looking where I was going," he bent down and started picking up the paper that had been strewn across the floor.
"It's okay it's not your fault," she replied looking up at him. She felt her breath being snatched away as she took in his looks.
Iain too looked up and he smiled as his eyes wandered, he passed her the paper as she tried to make the pile look neat again. "I haven't seen you around here before?"
"No, I'm the new nurse, Emily Roberts. And you are?"
"Iain Dean, one of Holby's finest paramedics," he smirked, holding his hand out.
Emily took it; the contact between the two caused her cheeks to flare a bright red. Iain grinned to himself and bit his lip.
"Well, Iain Dean I hope to see more of you," she winked. It was Iain's turn to blush this time.
"We should have a few celebratory drinks after work and me and you could always sneak off if you like?" He raised his eyebrow, and then burst out laughing. "I'm only joking, I'm not that forward, I like to take things slow but drinks sounds like a good idea!"
"Yeah it does," she nodded. "I honestly don't mind forward men, well as long as I like them back that is." She winked at him then sauntered through to the nurse's station.
Iain shook his head, slightly taken aback as to what just happened.
