CHAPTER TWO – 1 WEEK

A/N Thank you to people who are following my story and who have favourite it. Also thank you for the review. I have wrote six chapters so far and there are many more to come.

Colette was sitting in the café at the front entrance to Holby City Hospital nursing a very tall cup of strong coffee as she stared at the never ending amount of paper work when Guy approached her. Demanding for her to go with him, she stood up gathering the paper work and followed him into the elevator up to the floor that their office on and the went into the large office. Guy placed his large but soft hands on her tense shoulders pushing her down on to his seat and told her to stay there and not to move. Confused she watched him pull over a metal cart with a blue cover covering the top of it. Immediately she recognised it as a suture kit what they used for stitching up wounds and for removing the stitched and she sighed still a little confused.

"Guy what the hell are you doing with that?" Colette asked.
"Your stitches over your eye need removed Col. I figured you'd rather I did it than anyone else"
"Oh right. Yeah I would."

Gently Guy removed the stitches one by one causing Colette to wince each time he pulled on them. Once they were removed all five of them he ran his fingers down her cheek, practically ghosting over her skin as he touched her. Speaking barley above a whisper he asked her if there was any other place that was an open, stitched or scabbed wound she would like him to check and she nodded sighing once again. Now she was going to have to tell him the only part she hadn't already told him. She explained that he had bit her breast when she told him no to sex after he hit her and it required two stitches which she had done herself instead of getting Arthur to do it after stitching her eye.

"Can I have a look at it, I just want to make sure it is okay and to remove the stitches?" Spoke Guy softly
"I guess but only because I can't remove them myself, I tried this morning."

Lifting her dark blue scrub top up then off she dropped it to the ground and pulled her bra away from the area just enough to be able to move the stitches. Once again he gently removed the stitches and cleaned it with an antiseptic wipe before he placed the tools back while she pulled her scrub top back on quickly trying to hide her shyness. Turning to face her they locked eyes and neither found the strength to look away. Before he lost courage he leaned to in brushing his lips against her lips expecting her to push her away or slap him but she didn't instead she kissed him back so he deepened the kiss. Leaning into his she wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist as they stayed seating in the awkward position they had got them self into. Neither of them care though they were too lost in their world of feeling sparks and fireworks as they kissed passionately. All of their rational thoughts flying into their mind but leaving their mind even faster than they entered, all that matter to them were they were finally kissing each other.

Startled by the sound of Colette's pager they sighed pressing their foreheads together but her pager was relentless and kept going off demanding attention. Pressing another kiss to his lips she got up leaving the office heading to AAU ward. Harry and another Doctor who must be new because she had never seen him before were all standing arguing in front of all the staff and patients. Going over to them she scowled and pointed towards the wards staff room.

"What the hell is going on here? "Demanded Colette
"This new Doctor grabbed my ass and Harry hit him." Explained Mary-Clair hurriedly.
"Harry you know better than that. As for you, Doctor….Austin leave my nurses alone or I swear to god I'll have you out this hospital looking for a new job in seconds. Am I clear you three?"
"Yes Ma'am."
"Good now you're on your last warning Harry. I catch you hitting anyone else on these hospital grounds you will be suspended. Now get out of here before Mr Self catches me rollicking you lot."

Dismissing them she sighed and helped out on the ward for a while seeing how just how busy they actually were. Once it had quietened down the head nurse headed back up her office and shook her head at the thought of the three doctors. Absolutely exhausted Colette walked into the office dropping herself into her chair at her desk. After a quick ten minuet break for the first time that day Colette boosted up her computer and started on the work that had to be done that needed to be completed on the computer. As much as she loved her job as head nurse the paper work was stressful.

Just about to opened her email which she really needed to clear out because even though had just checked them the night her inbox was full, she got called out to help on the Neuro-surgical ward because there was a particularly hard patient who was giving all her nurses a hard time just as much as he was giving the doctors a hard time. Giving up with the feisty patient she ordered the restraints from one of the nurses and restrained him to the bed while Zosia called the psychiatrist on call to come down to the ward immediately.

Giving up on the no more coffee for the day rule she had given herself after the four cups between morning and afternoon she headed back down to the café to get the hot drink. However when she ordered a cup a tea and headed up to her office. Once again she walked into the office closing the door behind her and threw herself back down into her big padded desk chair and re-boosted up her computer that shut itself down after not been used for more than half an hour. Sipping she logged on and pulled up the internet, logging into her emails finally. Finding the very last one that received from Guy she smiled and opened it.

HIYA Col

Been called into an emergency surgery. A penitent with an aneurism. Don't leave without me.

Your Guy xxxxx

Laughing at his little joke at the end of his email she turned the computer off after reading and getting rid of the non-important emails and once again began to work on her paper work. Colette loved her job she really did but the amount of paper work her and Guy had really was absolutely ridiculous and it felt like it never ended. Half way through it was change over for the day shift to leave and the night shift to take over so she went to speak to everyone and inform them of each patient. Of course her nursed could have done it but she felt if she was there and able to do it then she should. She surely could not find any reason why she shouldn't do it.

Now that all paper work was finally done she pulled the stool that matched Guy's desk chair over to her in front of her chair and put her feet up on it. Once she was comfy she pulled a blanket that was thick and fluffy out her bottom desk drawer and pulled it over her. Relaxing into her chair she began reading the book she was reading on her phone as she waited for her…..well she really wasn't sure what he was on what was going on but as she waited on Guy.

By the time Guy had walked into the office having finished his surgery and started to tell Colette all about his fascinating tricky surgery but when he got no response he turned towards her desk and smiled when he seen that seen that she was asleep. Quietly he walked over and sat down on the stool next to her feet and ran his fingers down her cheek as he caressed her soft smooth skin.

"Col…..wake up" Spoke Guy gently still caressing her cheek as her eyes fluttered open.
"Hmmmm, sorry what time is it?"
"It's quarter to eight, come on it's time to go home."

Nodding she stood up and gathered their things, glad that she was already in her clothes instead of scrubs and they headed home. On the drive home Colette once again fell asleep due to the extremely long night shift she got called in to do because of an accident on the highway.

Thankfully when they got home fifteen minutes later she feeling much better and more rested than before. After a quick dinner of cheese toasties Colette changed into her pyjamas and they settled into a game or three of four cards but she refused to play strip poker. Which was just in well for Guy because hadn't won a game yet.

He could remember when the first met all she knew how to play was black jack and she was terrible at it. Not now though thanks to him spending many hours teaching her over drinks, movies and well the noise of just them talking she was just as good as him. If not then you could even say she was better than him. At roughly half past eleven Colette gave him claiming she was needing her bed but really it was just to spare him his feelings and kissed him good night as she headed up to bed.
