He was the new addition to the ED. Jess couldn't help but stare when she first saw him. He had dark brown hair and was nearly six foot tall. He was very muscular and had a gorgeous smile which he flashed at her as she walked passed.

Jess could feel her legs getting weak, her heart fluttered in her chest as he walked past. She turned around to watch him walking in the other direction and he turned to see her watching, he winked before stalking out of the ED.

'Doctor Hardy, there's a shout. There has been an RTC involving a lorry and a smaller vehicle' Connie told her. 'Get your things and wait for the paramedics outside in five minutes' she informed her.

Jess ran to the staff room and grabbed her kit. She dashed outside to find the young paramedic sat waiting for her. 'Good Morning, you must be Doctor Jessica Hardy' he spoke, holding out a hand for her. She shook it.

'That would be me' she whispered.

'I'm George Thompson, the new paramedic' he introduced himself before climbing into the back of the ambulance and helping her in.

He kept talking to jess all the way to the scene. Jess ran over to the first casualty before he could stop her. She dealt with every patient and once they had loaded the final patient into the ambulance she took a step back, tripping over some of the debris. She felt a strong hand grab hers and helped her back onto her feet. 'I'd better keep a closer eye on you then Doc' he joked. She playfully slapped him.

He helped her into the ambulance and they began talking again. As they arrived at the ED, Jess helped take the patient out of the ambulance and relinquished the reins to another doctor. 'Why don't I give you a ring tonight and we could go out' Jess told George.

He looked at her with a grin. 'How can you when you don't know my number?' he asked.

'I'll just have to call 999 then won't I' she stated with a smile. They exchanged numbers before Jess disappeared into the hospital.

'Someone's looking rather pleased with themselves aren't they' Cal commented as he saw his niece approaching.

'I'm going on a date' she told him.

'Well I better start cleaning my shot gun then' he quipped as she went to put her things away. Jess smiled as she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She opened the text and read it, '8 o'clock at the pub, dinner after, wear something nice x' it read. Jess couldn't hold back her smile. She left work just after lunch and went home to get ready for later.

She pulled on a tight fitted black dress which fell to her knee. She styled her hair into a sophisticated chignon, and kept her make up simple. She wore a pair of heeled strappy sandals which were also black. She looked really pretty and Cal insisted on driving her to the pub so he could get a drink, but it was more so that he could check out the young man who had captured his niece's heart.

They pulled up outside the pub and George was stood outside waiting for her. He was wearing a dark suit paired with a white shirt and a purple tie. He was looking around nervously but when he saw Jess step out of the car his face lit up. He was rooted to the spot as he took in her appearance. She walked over to him and he wrapped an arm around her waist. 'You look stunning' he whispered kissing her cheek.

'So do you' she replied.

Cal stepped forward. 'Bring her back by 11 and any funny business and you will have me to deal with' he warned. Jess shoved him playfully.

'I can handle myself Uncle Cal, honestly' she muttered.

'If your dad was here, he would do exactly the same, though knowing him he would have probably punched him first just so he knew what would happen if he tried anything on, just be thankful I'm gagging for a pint and I am tamer than him' he told his niece. He kissed her goodbye before disappearing into the pub to join his colleagues.

George offered Jess his arm and led her to his own car and drove her to the restaurant. They ate their meal whilst discussing various different topics. Until they ended up on the topic of her uncle. 'I am so sorry for my uncle's behaviour earlier. He's overly protective of me' she apologized.

'Don't be, I just thought it would be your father or brother' he admitted.

'My brother is in the army so we don't see him very often, and unfortunately my dad isn't around either' Jess told him.

'Oh I'm sorry I didn't realise' George whispered.

'It's not a problem, he died just before I was born, he had cancer, and so my Uncle has been my father figure' she explained.

Jess explained to him about the journal she received from her father. She relayed some of the stories she had read in it which made George laugh.

'He sounds like he was a really cool guy. You sound just like him' he told her.

They got up from the table and walked out of the restaurant. Jess shivered as they stepped out into the cool night. George peeled his jacket off and draped it over her shoulders. He drove her back to her house and took her to the door. 'I had a great time tonight, I really hope that we can do this again' he exclaimed.

'I'd love to, I really enjoyed myself' she told him with a grin. He kissed her cheek and took her hand in his.

'I know I never actually told you this but I really like you and I think you are beautiful' he whispered kissing her hand. Jess blushed bright red, just like her father. She fiddled with her glasses as her father would when he was embarrassed.

'I like you too' she whispered in response.

'You are so sweet, I think it's cute how embarrassed you get when complimented' he exclaimed. He kissed her cheek again before turning to leave.

'George, wait' Jess called.

He turned to face her and she pressed her lips to his, kissing him passionately. 'Thanks for a brilliant night' she whispered as she walked into the house. Cal was stood waiting, holding a baseball bat.

'Did he try anything on?' he asked, worriedly.

'No Uncle Cal, put the bat down you look like an idiot' she told him.

'How was your evening?' he asked.

'Good, I really like him' she told him.

'Is that all?' Cal asked suspiciously. Jess heard his car pull away.

'Yeah, oh and I kissed him' she stated nonchalantly before running upstairs to bed. She could hear her uncle downstairs sitting on the sofa shocked. She couldn't help but smile at the fact that she had found true love.
