Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but here's chapter 3, hope you enjoy :-)
Grunting as he flexed his sleep ridden muscles in his usual morning stretch, Max rolled over in his bed in the hope to find Zoe. Much to his surprise, she wasn't there. Running his fingers through his bed hair, he came to the conclusion that she must have left during the night, leaving her knickers behind as a reminder of last nights events. Taking the discarded panties in his hand, he toyed with the lace as he reminisced about the previous night, a beaming smile stretching across his face.
Making his way downstairs, his mind still on Zoe, he entered the kitchen turning the radio up, absent-mindedly dancing to the music that played as he put two slices of bread in the toaster. As she tied her hair up in her usual pony-tail, Robyn waltzed into the kitchen, stopping at the door as she watched her brother.
"How come you're so happy?" She questioned, pouring a glass of orange juice.
Spinning around, Max had to think of a quick excuse, he couldn't tell her the exact reason, "because life isn't so bad sis" he replied, burning his fingers as he retrieved his toast.
"You've been this happy for a while, anything you'd like to tell me?" Robyn asked "is it a girl?" she suggested.
"Uh, no, no it's not" Max stuttered, his cheeks slightly blushing.
"Is it, isn't it?!" Robyn grinned successfully "come on, tell me, who is she? Do I know her?"
"It is a girl, no you don't know her and before you ask - no, you're not meeting her" he said, not wanting to give too much away. Although, part of him wanted to tell his sister about his relationship with Zoe just to see her reaction.

Throughout the day, Max had most of the ED staff antagonizing him about who his secret girlfriend was - he should have known Robyn wouldn't have kept quiet. Much to her amusement, Zoe pretended to play along with trying to find out who Max was seeing.
At the pub Max and Zoe sat opposite each other as they tried not to make anything obvious that anything was going on between them. As the conversation flowed naturally, Max was engaged in a boring conversation of which he was pretending to show any interest in with Big Mac. Seeing him yawn, Zoe knew the perfect way to liven him up. Slipping off her shoe, she teasingly ran her foot up and down his leg, enjoying the side glances he threw at her and the stuttered words he spoke as her foot ran dangerously over his groin.
Growing bored of teasing, Zoe popped her shoe back on, making her excuse for leaving early as she grabbed her coat, sliding Max 'the look' as she went to leave.
"I'm skint and got an early start tomorrow, I'm off" Max finished his pint, pulling his jacket on.
"I can give you a lift if you like, I'm going that way anyway, so?" Zoe offered friendly, she often gave her friends lifts if she was heading in the same direction as her.
"If you don't mind, that'd be great" he smiled accepting her offer before saying his goodbyes to the team.
Rita watched the body language between them as they left the pub, turning to Robyn she said "Max's secret girlfriend isn't Zoe, is it?"
Both thinking about any flirtatious behaviour between Max and Zoe, Rita and Robyn looked at each other before laughing out loud.
"Nah" they both said in unison.
"Zoe is way out of Max's league, plus, she'd never go out with a porter" Robyn laughed at the thought of a doctor and a porter in a relationship.
Back at Max's house, he and Zoe crashed through his front door, passionately kissing each other as they made their way to his bedroom, removing items of clothing from each other as they went, making the most of an empty house.
A review would be lovely as I adore reading them, they urge me to write! Follow my twitter - ymasunicorn
