The next morning Zoe woke up next to Max in the student house.
"Morning beautiful."
"What time is it" she said reaching over Max for her phone. After she grabbed it Max rolled her back over and positioned himself on top of her.
"I wasn't meant to stay all night."
"And yet you just couldn't drag yourself away."
"Max I've gotta to go before Robyn and lofty get up."
"Okay one minute. I just want to say something."
"What." A smile washed across her face.
"This." Leaning down to kiss her lips. At the point she just couldn't resist. She kissed him back and then rolled on top of him. This led to a passionate encounter. They were so lost in the moment, that at first they didn't notice when there was a knock on the door.
"Max. Max! The door." Zoe spoke in a whispered tone.
"Would you like tea and toast?" Robyn asked through the door.
"Umm yeah give me a minute."
Zoe began to panic, this was it she would be seen for sure.
"Zoe."
"Yeah."
"Get inside the wardrobe."
"Is there someone in there with you" Robyn asked excitedly.
"No" Max replied.
"Well I'm coming in then."
Zoe had had no time to hide so had to fling the cover over her head and snuggle into Max's chest.
"Good night" Robyn asked.
"Yeah it was go.." Zoe had pinched him. "It was amazing."
"Okay well we will leave you to it."
"That was lucky" Zoe exclaimed throwing the cover from her head.
"Well I thought you loved the danger."
"Yes I do but that was just a little to close for my likings."
Zoe got up and dressed. She had to sneak out of the house whilst Robyn and Lofty were in their rooms getting ready for work. She gave Max one last kiss before creeping down the stairs and out the front door. She got into her car and let out a sigh of relief. They really need to be more care she thought to herself.
She needed to make a quick trip back to the boat to get changed and do her hair and makeup. And to pick up her folders from the other day.
When she got to work Max was already outside in their smoking spot.
"Hello again you." Max said smiling.
"Hey. I'm in desperate need and a fag. Fancy joining me."
"Now that's an offer I can't refuse." Giving her a cheeky smile.
She withdrew a cigarette from her packet. And then felt in her pocket for the lighter Max had given her for Christmas and had refuelled a couple of weeks ago. But she couldn't find it and she was as sure she had had it yesterday day. Never mind.
"Have you got a lighter I could borrow."
"Yer here you go." He tossed Zoe a lighter.
After they had both finished their cigarettes it was time for their shifts. They headed into the ED and went their separate ways. Zoe bumped into Tess who informed her that there was an RTC with 3 casualties on their way in and she would be needed in resus.
She put her bag and coat in the office and got her stethoscope from her locker before heading to help the rest of her team.
Meanwhile Robyn unknown to Zoe or Max had found the missing lighter by the front door. She knew straight away it was not Max's as he didn't have to money to afford one like it. So the only other person it could belong to was the result of Max's latest conquest. Unknown to her that the person was Zoe.
Tess passed Robyn whilst she was talking to Caleb about it.
"Robyn can I have a word."
"Yes Tess."
"What are you doing, there's patients that need your attention."
"Yer I was just asking Dr Knight if he knew who's lighter this was."
Tess took a long look at the lighter in Robyn's hand.
"That's Zoe's " Tess said finally.
"What!"
"Why did you want to know anyway."
"I found it by the front door this morning and I thought it belonged to Max's latest girlfriend."
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking."
"Are you thinking that my brother is sleeping with Zoe."
"Yep"
"Then yes I am."
Outside the ED. Zoe and Max were on a break.
"So do you fancy, meeting me in my office at lunch."
"Are you asking me to have sex on hospital premises."
"Now that would be inappropriate." He said with a mischievous smile.
"Okay then. I look forward to it. Our breaks over lets get back to work." Zoe said just before her pager went off.
Have Tess and Robyn uncovered Zoe and Max's secret relationship? All will be revealed.
Please review. There'll be more soon xx
