Part four - wide awake
They head back inside the department after they had managed to talk things through,
"Hey there you are it's been dead busy!" Honey says looking slightly frazzled,
"Sorry I got talking to iain...how about you take your well earned break now?" Honey rubs Natalie's arm as she goes on her break as Natalie began to serve customers,
"Hey iain is Nat alright?" Rita asks concerned,
"Why don't you ask her yourself!" Iain snaps annoyed how people are reacting as he headed back to the ambulance ready for the next call out,
"Was there need to snap at Rita like that mate?"
"Dix just don't for now please!"
"Something else happen?" Dixie frowns making Iain sigh,
"Just into deep ain't i!"
"Ah and you wanted uncomplicated"
"Yes. Just no hassles you know"
"I see. Kiddo there's no such thing as a easy relationship mate...especially when sex is involved. Do you like Natalie?"
"Yes course I do! She's funny and sweet the most easy person to be around but I'm not sure if I you know love her?"
"Ah the dreaded L word! Listen Iain I saw some sort of connection the other night so whatever your feeling just follow it and be honest with her and yourself mate!" Iain nods his head slowly knowing that Dixie once again was right!
It was the end of their shift and they both walked arm in arm over to his flat,
"You alright Iain? Been quiet!"
"Yeah fine. Just been a really long shift!"
"Tell me about it could murder a huge glass of wine!"
"You sure you can drink?"
"Yes why you ask me that?"
"Just checking Nat don't get all annoyed!"
"Oh my god! This is exactly what I was afraid of!"
"What me caring?"
"No you treating me differently like I'm...fragile! I don't want that me and you...I'm still the same Natalie!" Iain takes her hand,
"I know you are. And I really didn't mean to make out that you were fragile I just was looking out for you that's all!" Natalie softens slightly,
"So you still want to do the benefits thing then?!" Iain kisses her making her deepen the kiss. They enter his flat both kissing passionately as they make their way into the bedroom, as they lie onto the bed Iain lightly kisses her neck making Natalie close her eyes and biting her lip,
"I really am sorry for today Nats!"
"Shh just shut up and kiss me you!" Iain smirks as they kiss again both breathing heavily as they fumble getting clothes off of each other!
They lay out of breath both smiling happily to themselves,
"I think we get better each time!"
"Definitely. Nat about earlier with the whole counselling buisness..."
"Don't say maybe you should go?"
"I'm not. I was just going to say that don't need one cause I'm here for you!" Natalie smiles kissing Iain before resting her head onto his chest as Iain strokes her hair,
"You know Iain I'm so lucky to have met you!"
"Just realising it now!" He jokes making Natalie playfully hit his arm,
"Here I was being nice Iain and you can't return the favour!" Iain begins to kiss her neck again making her smile,
"What you doing?"
"Being nice!" Natalie smirks before lightly closing her eyes lost in the moment.
