The Queen: I would say the same.. Start hiring your new spies because things are getting interesting..
Chapter 23
Ashley's POV
Leo Tolstoy described the type of love where you lose yourself in the other person completely and you no longer feel like you are separate individuals, but one.. I always wondered if that kind of love existed.. Where you completely lose yourself to someone.. I didn't believe to that kind of love.. Till I met her..
"Ash.. Thirty minutes passed and you said only ten.." she said and got up from bed.. I didn't stop her though this time.. I didn't want to be the reason for her to be late at her work..
"I am so sorry Spencer.. I was just enjoying your company.." she stopped what she was doing and came back to bed leaning on top of me, her blond hair on my chest.. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.. She came closer to me and kissed me softly on my lips..
"I don't have any problem with that.. I was enjoying your company as well.." she said and kissed me again, this time a little bit longer than before.. "But we need to hurry up because I don't want to be late.. Ok?"
"Yes maam" I said like she was my captain.. She looked at me and smiled.. That smile.. How I managed to be without for eight months..
"I am not a maam Ash.. Silly"
We got dressed and we drove back to the hotel.. Spencer wasn't late and that was because I was running like I was a lunatic.. Once outside the hospital Spencer suggested not to go inside together.. It wouldn't look nice to the others there.. I respected that and I waited ten minutes to get inside.. When I was there Spencer was nowhere to be found.. I am sure she was already doing her rounds as every morning.. I from the other hand went to Aiden's room to see how he was.. I got surprised when I saw Spencer inside..
"Hey.. How are.. Oh, hello doctor" "Hello Mrs Dennison.. Mr Dennison here is doing better day by day"
"That's a very good thing.."
"I was telling Dr Carlin that I need to go back Ash.. Tell her"
"Aiden, you need to do what the doctor says.. You don't know better than her.. If she says you have to stay then you will stay" I looked at Spencer but she wasn't looking at me.. She was being professional..
"Mr Dennison, you had a very difficult surgery that requires for you to stay calm, and recover.. You are in one of the best hospitals here and if something happens we can fix it.. I am not saying that New York doesn't have good doctors, or hospitals but the flight back to New York it might cause problems.. So one week and we see.."
I believe that I formed a smile while Spencer was talking to Aiden.. One week, if not more.. I would have her for one week and I would try to make the best of it..
"I understand.. I am sorry doctor.. It's just that I am not used seeing myself like that.."
"Everything will be ok.. Now if you excuse me.. I will let you talk with your wife.. Goodmorning Mr Dennison" she said and left the room.. I couldn't let her go though.. I wanted some minutes with her..
"Aiden, I am going to ask her some things.. I am going to be right back"
"Ok"
When I went outside Spencer was already far away.. It was like she was running instead of walking..
"I am sorry.. Dr Carlin?" she stopped and looked at me..
"Yes? What can I do for you?"
"Can I talk to you about my husband's condition for five minutes if you have time?"
"Of course.. Ask me.." I leaned closer and whispered to her ear.. "Somewhere more private maybe?"
I saw her smiling and she just nodded.. She started walking and I followed her back to her office.. Once inside her office I closed the door behind us and locked it.. I didn't want anyone to interrupt my alone time with her.. I know that I was being adventurous but I didn't care..
"So what about Aiden?"
"You see, I am wondering if one week would be ok.. Maybe one week more?" I said while I was walking close to her.. She wasn't moving.. Instead she was there having a well known smirk, like she knew what I had in mind..
"Ash.. I don't know.. One week it's all he needs.. If we see that he has to stay for more I will tell you.."
"And what about my week with you? What if I need more?" now I was right infront of her, putting my hands behind her back, our breasts touching, my mouth inches apart from her neck.. So close to kiss her..
"Mmmm.. Assshh.." I started kissing her beautiful neck and I couldn't stop my hands anymore.. They were under her shirt, caressing.. Her skin was so soft..
"I can't leave you.. I don't want to leave you Spence.." I looked at her and her eyes were a different shade of blue.. She leaned and cupped my lips in a very passionate kiss.. A kiss like we never shared all this long.. Yes, I was losing myself in her.. I was completely lost..
"It will be ok.. We still have a week.."
"It's not enough.."
"Ash.. It's not easy for me as well.. You will leave and you will go back to New York with your husband.."
"I am not in love with him Spence.. I do love him but as a friend.. I love you with all my heart"
"Then we will find a way to be together.. Don't make it more difficult than already is" She was right.. It was difficult.. I hugged her and we stayed there holding each other for some minutes till she had to leave again..
"I am going to finish round 9pm.. If you are still here go to Anita and tell her to find me so we can go together.. Ok?"
"I'll miss you.."
"I'll be around.. You will see me.."
"One last kiss?" We shared our last kiss for the day and both of us took out separate ways.. I went to Aiden's room again where I found the nurse talking to him..
"Dr Carlin is an amazing doctor.. She was a doctor in this war and she came back a couple of months ago.."
When I got inside Aiden looked at me and smiled..
"Did you know that Dr Carlin was at the war Ash? You know, my wife was a pilot as well.. She came back eight months ago.."
"You were a pilot Ms? That is so amazing.. How was it there?"
"It was hard.."
"You and Dr Carlin are a role model for all of us out there.. You must be very proud of her sir"
"I am"
"Now, I am going to let you with your wife.. Have a good day both of you"
I sat right next to him.. He seemed better than yesterday and he didn't have that paleness on his face.. He was starting to get better..
"What did she say?"
"Who?"
"Dr Carlin.."
"Oh yes.. She said that if you are better you are going to be home in a week.. If not they are going to keep you here more.."
"But she said that already when she was here.. You didn't ask her anything else?"
"She said that you will be fine.." I couldn't think anything to tell him.. And he was acting very strange..
"Dr Carlin was a doctor in France.. How come you didn't meet her.. If I remember correct you were in a hospital in France because of the accident.."
"I don't know Aiden.. Maybe there wasn't only one hospital you know.. And maybe Spencer was in another hospital.."
"Spencer?" I didn't realize what I did.. I was agitated with all the questions he was asking and I said Spencer's name out loud..
"Who is Spencer?" I had to remain calm.. But how could I? In his mind I met Dr Carlin yesterday and I was referring to her with her first name?
"Ehm.. It's Dr Carlin.. Her name is Spencer"
"And you call her with her first name? From when?"
"She asked me to.. Ok? What's with the twenty questions Aiden?"
"Nothing.. Nothing at all"
He stayed quiet and I did the same.. What got him to start asking all these questions out of nowhere.. I couldn't help but think that he might knew something.. It would explain his behaviour the last months..
