Here's chapter 6, enjoy! [I don't own the last 2 lines of dialogue, I used them from Casualty Series 24 Episode 34]

That evening after her shift, Zoe had agreed to meet Nick for a drink, she knew she had treated him badly since he had been back and she wanted a chance to explain everything. They were meeting at 'The Vine', the wine bar they usually went to. She walked in and Nick was already there waiting for her.

"Hi, sorry if I'm late" Nick stood up and hugged her.

"No, it's fine" he smiled and they ordered their drinks before going to sit down.

"Nick, I'm sorry about everything today, I should have told you about Matt earlier... I just never expected you to come back here"

"It's fine Zoe, I understand, I just never expected you to be engaged" Zoe could see the sadness in his face, she instantly felt awful, Nick had just declared his love for her and she hadn't had the heart to tell him she was engaged. His last words to her were 'You'll be great without me', she thought he meant that he would never be back, that she should move on, without him. Nick didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, it wasn't her fault, she had every right to move on.

"Soo, what have I missed?" he said, hoping to change the subject. He didn't want to end up losing Zoe forever. They spent the rest of the evening talking away about how the ED had been, what Nick had been up to in Michigan, it was just like old times. It was nearly midnight and they decided to get a cab back together, stopping at Zoe's first.

"Do you want to come in for a tea.. or coffee?"

"I better not, we don't want to upset Dr. Reed now do we?"

"Oh haha, we aren't living together yet anyway"

Nick followed her inside, her flat had barely changed since the last time he was in it, the last time they were together. The same familiar smell that made him burst with happiness inside. Zoe made them some drinks and they sat on the sofa together. Nick looked into her eyes, she was always so beautiful, to him she was perfect. He leant over and kissed her, there was so much passion between them, when suddenly Zoe pulled away.

"I'm with Matt now..."

"You know that a drink is never just a drink with us..."

Hope it was okay! Please review! :)
