Edward POV
I made it to the office with three minutes to spare. I gave my receptionist Kate a quick "Hello" and then headed straight to my office. I threw on my white coat and placed my stethoscope around my neck. I grabbed my glasses off of my desk and snuck a quick peek at the line-up for today. I had a quick check up for a new patient waiting in room A, and one of my regulars claiming to have the flu in room B. I took a quick minute breather and then headed towards room A.
"Hello" I smiled widely as I entered the room. "I'm Doctor Cullen, and you must be Lilly." I smiled at the little girl sitting on the table.
"Yes." she smiled as she looked toward her mother.
"Is this your mommy?" I smiled
"Hello, I'm Carmen." her mother nodded.
"Hi Carmen, I'm Doctor Cullen. So this is your first visit?" I asked the child's mother.
After getting Lilly's check up out of the way, I saw them out to the checkout area and headed over to room B. My least favorite patient Lauren Mallory was waiting in there. I was just happy this was her last year with me. She was 17 year's old and didn't understand the fact that she was trying to flirt with a twenty-eight year old man who was not looking for an "Easy" teenager and was definitely not looking for jail time.
I knocked once on the door and entered with a half assed smile. I wanted to walk right out of the room when I saw Lauren not accompanied by a parent and sitting there in a pair of knee high leather boots and a short pink mini skirt on and a very low cut black v-neck. Her oily blond hair was thrown over one of her shoulders and begging for a washing and her face needed some water thrown on it too, it looked like it was painted on in masses.
"Hello Miss Mallory. How are you doing today?"
"Hi Doctor Eddie." she purred. "Not so good, I feel extremely congested." she sniffled.
I wanted to tell her that was just her nasally voice, but I chose to skip over that comment.
"How long have you been feeling nasally Lauren?" I feigned concern.
"Mmm, a few days." she said as she uncrossed her legs and made sure too flash a view of her undergarments as she switched and crossed her legs the other way.
"Are one of your parents joining us today?" I asked hopeful.
"Nope, just you and me." she smiled and then I could have sworn she winked.
"Ok, give me one minute." I smiled.
I hurried out of room B and went to look for my nurse and Alice's sister in-law Rosalie.
"Rose!" I called as she was filling syringes.
"Ah, Fuck. You scared me ass hole." she jumped as she almost dropped the syringe in her hand. "What?"
"I need you." I begged.
"Now?" she purred and then laughed.
"Please Rose!" I begged.
"Lauren giving you trouble already?" she laughed
"Yup."
Rose sighed and headed back to room B with me.
"Lauren you remember Nurse Rosalie right?" I asked
"Yea," Lauren mumbled seeing it wasn't just me and her anymore.
"She's going to check your heart beat and blood pressure to make sure it's not the flu or anything ok?"
"Mhm." Lauren agreed.
Rose rolled the stool over towards Lauren and took out her stethoscope.
"Honey, if you didn't wear such low cut shirts and covered up your chests more often, you would most likely not keep catching these colds." Rose said in her sweetest tone as she listened to Lauren's breathing.
I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing at Rose's comment. Leave it to her to put Lauren in her place.
After coming to the conclusion Lauren was fighting a cold I saw five other patients and then headed to lunch with Jasper.
"What sup man?" I asked as I spotted Jasper sitting in the corner booth of the deli across the street. "You look like shit." I chuckled.
"Thanks, ass wipe." he laughed. "I feel like shit, had an emergency open heart surgery last night. It was touch and go, but so far he's still hanging on." Jasper sighed. "Plus I just spent twenty minutes on the phone with your sister. Her aid brought her a cup of coffee." Jasper laughed.
"O God, poor kids. She must be bouncing off the walls." I chuckled.
"Mhm, Damn that dude's huge." Jasper mumbled as he looked off behind me. I cocked an eyebrow at him and stole a glance behind me. "Fuck." I Laughed. "Yea he is. He's got to be like what 6'4, 275lbs?" I asked slack jawed as I turned back to Jasper. "That poor girl. He's going to break her." Jasper laughed as he continued to look at the big guy. I stole another look and almost fell out of the booth. It was my brunette. Ms. Swan. Isabella. Being hugged to death by the monster looking dude.
"Earth to Edward? Stop staring dude. I aint backing you up against Hulk over there." Jasper said frantically.
"Sorry. I just know that girl. Well kind of." I mumbled.
"Kind of? One night stand? Booty call?" Jasper taunted with a mouth full of his sandwich.
"No ass hole. I'm not a whore like you." I joked.
"Hey, I'm not a whore. I'm a happily married man." Jasper drawled.
"Yea, well I aint a whore. I haven't had a "One night stand" since College ass hole."
"You haven't had sex since college?" Jasper laughed. "Bull shit."
"I didn't say I haven't had sex, I said a one night stand." I chuckled.
"Typical doctor with your loop holes. Ok, so how do you know the broad over there?" Jasper asked as he nodded towards Isabella.
"I actually met her today taking Ty to school. She's one of the parents to Alice's student." I said quietly.
"Oh, yea Ali told me about that. She said she had to pry your eyes off of Ms. Swan." he laughed.
"Ah, shut it. It wasn't like that. She's beautiful though." I sighed.
"Yes she is. Seems her husband knows it too the way he's mauling her over there." Jasper chuckled as he nodded behind me. I stole a quick glance again and saw the hulk of a man nuzzling his head in the small woman's neck while he whispered things to her and rubbed her shoulders.
"I don't believe that's her husband, but he's definitely claiming his property. Shit. You think he saw me staring?" I asked worried that I was going to get my ass kicked.
"Nah, maybe he's just horny." Jasper laughed as we finished our food and stood from the booth. As we passed their table I felt eyes boring into my back. I stole a look to the side and noticed the hulk staring daggers at me. I looked toward his mate and saw her talking on the phone to someone. She had just hung up and looked from her companion over to me. I saw recognition hit her immediately as she saw me and she offered a small smile and I gave her a friendly smile back and headed towards the exit to meet Jasper.
"Dude, I think Hulk wants to kick my ass." I mumbled as I stepped outside.
"Why's that?" Jasper asked curiously.
"He was staring me down as I walked out." I stammered
"Hm, well let's get outta here then. I aint fighting him for you." Jasper laughed.
"Thanks ass." I laughed. "You heading home?"
"Yea. I'm going to steal a quick nap before I go get Tyler at 3." he yawned.
"Alright dude. I got to get back to the office anyways. See you tomorrow night at mom's for dinner?"
"Don't I see you there every Tuesday? Why would this Tuesday be any different?" he laughed
"Alright grumpy bitch. Go get a nap, your PMSing." I chuckled.
"Ok bitch ass. See you." he said as he patted my back. "Adios."
"Bye bitch." I laughed as I walked across the street back to "Children's Place".
I stole a glance at my watch as I entered the office. 1pm, 4 more hours and I'm out of here, I thought to myself. Almost there.
After seeing eight more patients, I saw it was ten till five. I headed to my office and took off my coat and made sure I completed all the paperwork that was left for me on my desk. I left Kate to lock up and headed to my car.
I picked up some dinner for myself and headed towards my house. It was a 3 bedroom house, only ten minutes away from everything, right in the middle of town. I had purchased it when I was engaged to my ex fiancé Tanya. After we broke off the engagement I decided I'd decorate it and keep it for myself. It's been my bachelor pad for the last two years.
I sprawled out on my sofa and began digging into my juicy burger and fries. Healthy I know. I pushed all thoughts of Tanya out of my mind. I was lucky I found out about her infidelity before we ventured down the aisle.
After dinner I watched some TV and then went to take a shower. After my shower I got my clothes ready for the next day and then tackled my bed. It was only nine pm and I had nothing to do. I flipped the TV on and looked for something to keep my attention.
Nothing.
It was nights like these the whole bachelor thing didn't work for me. I was twenty-eight years old. I should have a family by now, if not a wife, or at least a potential girlfriend. I always wanted to be a family man, always have wanted kids, and a big house, I think that's why I stayed with annoying ass Tanya for so long, hoping she would morph into what I wanted. Seeing my younger sister so happy made my heart ache a little. I'd never let anyone know I had a soft spot like that, but I wanted my own little family two.
Alice made it look so easy; married at twenty to her high-school sweetheart, baby at twenty-two, and now at almost twenty-seven she was working with kids, what she always wanted. She's got a perfect son and a husband that treats her like a queen. Then again Jasper is pussy whipped with a capital P.
I always wanted a relationship like my parents.
They met at eighteen, married at twenty one, had me at twenty-two and Alice at twenty-three. Now, even at fifty with almost thirty years of marriage under their belts they were still in love as ever.
I wanted that.
I still did.
My thoughts drifted to the two brunettes I met today. The mother and daughter intrigued me. They had a beauty to them. A unique beauty, with a shy exterior. They were both so closed off I couldn't get a good read on them. I usually could read people so easily, and who the heck is that Hulk dude and why was he staring me down. I certainly am not a home wrecker. No matter the pull I felt toward the woman I wouldn't ruin a happy home. I stopped wracking my brain when I felt my phone vibrating on the side of my bed.
"Hello Alice." I sighed.
"Well don't sound so happy to hear from me butt head." she huffed.
"Butt head Alice, really?" I chuckled.
"Oh whatever Edward. How are you?" she asked.
"I'm great Alice, but I'm sure that's not the reason you're calling." I joked.
"Well, no. Jasper works till seven tomorrow and I have a meeting with the owner of the daycare tomorrow to get some information I need and things like that so I probably won't be out of there till six. I would ask mom or dad, but dad works until six and mom has dinner to prepare for us tomorrow so I didn't want to bother her when you have to pass the daycare any ways, but if you can't I can ask them." Alice rambled
"Ali, slow down. Are you asking me to pick up Tyler from daycare?" I chuckled.
"Yes, his teacher can only stay till five." she said sweetly.
"It's fine Alice, I can leave a few minutes early from the office and pick him up at five." I agreed,
"Thanks Edward, I know I said I wouldn't bother you with taking him and picking him up." she said guiltily.
"Hey, don't worry about it. He's my nephew. I'd do anything for my sister's child." I laughed.
"Thanks Edward. I'll let him know you'll be picking him up. I'm sure he'll be excited. Then we can just meet you at mom and dad's for dinner." Alice squealed. "Oh, Jazzy said you saw Isabella at lunch." Alice added.
"Yea, she was with some big dude." I huffed.
"Yea I met him today, he picked Sophia up. He's not her father though, she called him uncle Emmy." Alice giggled. "He seems very nice."
"Really? Well if looks could kill I'd be dead. Dude was staring daggers at me as I left the deli." I mumbled.
"Hm, he seems nice. Maybe he just doesn't like you." Alice giggled. "Anyways stop by tomorrow before you two leave so I don't worry if you remember or not." Alice sighed
"I'm not going to forget, but ok we will. See you tomorrow. Night."
"Love you E. Thanks again. Night."
I was excited to pick up Tyler tomorrow. I don't know what excited me more though, picking up little man, or maybe running into the mysterious brunette again.
I couldn't decide.
Ok, twice in one week!
Don't get too excited I don't know how often this will happen!
