She walked back into her office to see that the resignation letter was missing. She smiled. He had decided to stay. Well that's the first step to show that he still cared.
There was a knock on her door. "Come in." She said.
Jacob entered her office carrying two coffee. "This is for you." He said as he handed her the coffee. "Don't worry, it's decaf." He added and then smiled at her. Connie gladly accepted the coffee. "Thank you." She said. She had to bite her lip in order to suppress the smile that was forming.
Jacob left the office and Connie finally smiled at herself. She was happy. Maybe he has changed after all.
Connie left her office two hours later. She wanted some fresh air so headed towards the entrance. Suddenly, she lost balanced and slipped only to be caught by two strong arms. At first she was scared. What is she fell and something had happened to the baby! She then realised that someone had actually caught her. She opened her eyes to see Jacob. He somehow always seemed to be there, like as if he knew she was going to fall.
"Easy Mrs Beauchamp." He said as he pulled her back. Connie straightened her clothes and then looked at him. "Thank you Jacob." She said. "I owe you one."
"I am keeping a list." He said and then winked at her before leaving her.
He emerged ten minutes later after having finished his shift. Connie was till stood outside. The cool breeze was refreshing. It calmed her down.
"Mrs Beauchamp, allow me to take you to dinner tonight?" He asked.
After much thinking, she decided o refuse him. She couldn't give in so easily. He was to work hard to win her over again. She has been betrayed to many times by him yet she loved him. But she had to keep a guard...she couldn't allow him to break her so easily. "Maybe another time Staff Nurse Masters."
He was disappointed. She could tell but she couldn't let that affect her. Yes, she wanted him. Wanted to enjoy his company but not today.. "We'll see you tomorrow, Mrs Beauchamp." He said and walked off after smiling at her.
She smiled back but her happiness was short lived as what happened after that, caused her too much pain...
Any ideas on how to end it are welcomed. Xx :)
