CHAPTER FOUR- COLLIEBOO

A/N Thank you all very much following and adding my story to your favourite list. Also thank you very very much for the review. After the next two chapters there is going to be more Zosia and Arthur scenes, but for now it's mostly all still Colette and Guy.

Zosia had been looking for Colette because she was wanting to speak to someone about what was going on her and Arthur and she didn't know who else to go to. She walked into Guy's and Colette's office unannounced and staring at the pair caught kissing and her mouth practically fell open. It took her a few seconds to proses what she had just seen and as it turns out she wasn't as okay with it like she thought she was.

"Zosia wait…"Called Colette.
"No…. I hate you. I hate you both." Said Zosia slamming the door behind her as she stormed off.
"Now ain't she just charming." Spoke Guy.
"Are we doing the right thing Guy? I mean knew she hated me but she's never actually said it to me before."
"Yes we are. She's over reacting Colette. It has been a year and a month so it's not like we are having an affair."

Sighing she pressed a kiss to his lips and left heading to the AAU ward, where she spent most of the week. Colette knew that Zosia had thought that her and Guy were cheating on her mama which is why Zosia and gone from being close to her to hating her. But actually hearing actually hurt her more than you would think. Of course the rumour at North Church that they were sleeping together since before Anya had gotten sick was exactly just that. It was just a rumour but Zosia had let her get to her and believed them and then her mama had died and that just added fuel to the fire because Guy had and Anya wouldn't tell her the truth. The truth was Colette had lost her best friend that day and she had already lost her mom and her older brother when he was in Iraq (the middle child) and every day she faced the fact that she might lose her brother who is in Afghanistan.

As soon as she was on the ward they could tell Colette was in a bad moon and stayed out her way unless they needed her. Even Harry was on his best behaviour and avoiding crude jokes and well any jokes at all. Nurse Sheward introduced herself to each patient and updated their Obs and charts as she did so. Once that was done she sat down at the nurse's station where you would normally find Mary-Claire and pulled a piece of blank paper out of the printer and began to write.

Zoshie,

You should not have had to find out like that. I'm really really sorry. I know what you're thinking and I promise you we didn't. Please can we talk at lunch or break after, Come find me?

Love Collieboo x

Quickly she went up to the neuro-surgical ward, went into the changing room and slipped the note into Zosia locker knowing she goes there every break. Ten minutes later she was back on the AAU ward cleaning and debriding a leg wound caused by the cyclist colliding with a gravel path making him skid along it. Unfortunately the patient was a very talkative guy who flinched every time she touched him. By the time she was finished and dressed it, she'd learned how was always so clumsy and had been to the hospital more than once and how he couldn't sing to save himself as he proved. Doctor Di Lucca and Colette stood discussing a penitent when out the corner of her eye she seen Zosia walk into and stood waiting patiently for them to stop talking.

"Excuse me. Can I talk to nurse Sheward please Doctor Di Lucca?" Asked Zosia.
"Aye of course you can." Smiled Raf.
" Staffroom okay to talk in?" Asked Colette.

Nodding Zosia followed Colette into the staffroom and she sat on the couch. Colette took a chair over from the table sitting it in front of her and sat down clasping her hands together in her lap. Neither spoke, and if you walked into the room you could easily cut the tension with a knife.

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you before Zoshie but we never ever cheated on your mama. When your mama died I lost someone special too and I know you need someone to take it out on but remember me and your dad lost someone too. But I promise you we never went behind your mama's back. I promise Zoshie.
" But earlier on use were kissing and use have always been so close."
"We've got together a week after I moved in with him after the whole Max thing, Zosh. Your dad and I have always been close but I promise we never cheated."
"I'm sorry I was such a bitch to you. I promise to try make things better with you and dad. Please don't though tell ever tell Dom I called you Collieboo."
"What do you mean called? I've heard you call me that a few times to your dad."

Laughing the bumped shoulders and headed out the staff room to complete their shift. However Colette still had to stay later after her shift because it was once again time to sit down and figure out the rota. She hated doing the rota because someone was always needing time for something or another and there was always someone or more than someone that was not happy with the shifts they had been giving.

Guy was lucky you see because after HR sent through who had asked for shifts off and time off it got sent to his sectary and she did the consultants shifts then the consultants got together and did the rest of the doctor's shifts on their wards. But for her once HR had sent through who wanted time off she had to sit down with copies of everyone else's rotas and figure it out from there.

Finally she finished her shift and changed back into her black skinny tailored suit trousers, a silk royal blue shirt showing just the right amount cleavage and a black blazer as well as black very high heels. Guy is always confused at how woman can walk on such high shoes. Groaning she threw herself into her seat, reaching behind her and pulled her hair out of the bun letting her long dark brown curly locks fall over her shoulder and just past her breast. She had asked Guy the other day about what he thought about her cutting it to her shoulder out of curiosity and laughed when he quite frankly told her he liked it the length it was not too long or short for him to run his fingers through it and tug on it she had thought to herself.

Another hour later and Guy walked into the office seeing Colette furiously rubbing at the paper in front of her with the rubber on the end of her pencil. Smiling he walked over to her and stood behind the stressed nurse. Reaching up he placed his hands on her shoulder and began to massage them. Slowly she began to relax and moaned in pleasure as she felt the tension leave her shoulders. Guy continued to massage but moved down to massage her back as her leaned over her shoulder to see just what it was exactly that she was working on that had her so frustrated and stressed and place a kiss…then another….then another….and another.

"What's up?"
"Nothing just trying to get the new rota right so everyone is happy."
"That's impossible Colette, is everyone who asked for certain shifts or dates off got them?"
"Yeah"
"The no one can moan at you so just do it the way you think is best."

Meanwhile Zosia lay naked tangled in the bed sheets with Arthur. Though she would never admit it not yet anyway, Zosia had fallen for the socially awkward F2 and her dad questioning him did not make things any easier. Maybe that conversation she had planned to have with Colette earlier would defiantly have to happened, maybe. Zosia pillowed her head on his chest and relaxed as she felt his fingers run through her hair. Arthur could tell something was on her mind he knew that if he asked then she'd push him away and he didn't want that when they were finally as close as they were now, so it was better to let her tell him in her own time.

"I caught dad and Colette kissing today" Spoke Zosia quietly.
"You did, how did you react?"
"Said I hated them and stormed off like a spoilt brat, but Colette and I talked. I wouldn't say things were fixed but there better. I think I can come to terms with Mama dying and she'd want him to be happy and I guess that's with her."
"I promise it will get easier to cope with Zosh and I'm always here." Said Arthur leaning down kissing her.

For the second time since they'd started sleeping together fell asleep in each other's arms.

Across town Guy and Colette stood in the living with To make you feel my love playing in the back ground. Colette had her arms around his neck with her hands hooked together and he hand his hands on her hips as they danced as per to Guy's request. Smiling he cupped her cheek in his hand and looked into her eyes.

"I love you Colette."
"I love you too."
