One month later
Nadine was at work and was in the supply closet taking inventory. She went up on the step ladder so she could take inventory of the items higher than she could reach. She heard the door open and looked back to see who came in. It was Dr. Harrison looking for some supplies.
"Hi. Dr. Harrison."
"Please call me Greg."
"Okay."
The doctor asked her for some supplies. She looked for them and reached for them. As she was reaching Greg was admiring the view; the view of her ass as she reached higher. Nadine started to lose her footing and fell backwards and before she knew it she was in Greg's arms.
Nikolas came by the hospital to surprise Nadine by showing up before her break. He gets off the elevator and goes to the nurse's station and asks where Nadine was and they let him know she was taking inventory.
Nadine fell into Greg's arms when she fell off the ladder to the get the supplies that she needed.
"Thanks…You can put me down now."
"Okay."
Greg puts her down but his hands were still around her waist.
"I've been wanting to do this for a long time."
Before Nadine could say or do a thing he pulled her closer to him and pulls her head towards him and starts kissing her.
Nikolas opens the door to the supply closet and sees Nadine kissing another man. She was kissing that doctor who she was flirting with before. Nikolas walks out furious with her for wanting to kiss any one other than him. She was the only one he wanted or thought about kissing. Their relationship meant a lot to him but maybe it didn't mean as much to her. Nikolas got on the elevator and there was no sign that he was ever there.
Nadine was standing there letting this guy kiss her. She was shocked that he would make such a bold move. She had no idea it was even coming. But she didn't want it. She was not kissing him back but she wasn't pushing him away either. She finally got over the initial shock and wondered what the hell she was doing and finally pushed him away.
"What are you doing?"
"Kissing you…what does it look like?"
He tried to make a move to kiss her again but she pushed him away.
"In case you didn't know I'm in a relationship."
"Yes I know. But he doesn't have to know about this."
"I think you got the wrong impression of me. I don't do this sort of thing."
"Admit it you liked it."
"No I didn't that's why I pushed you off of me. I didn't even kiss you back."
"It took you long enough. Admit it you're attracted to me."
"Sorry to break it to you but I'm not and you're a total jerk if you think I would cheat on my boyfriend."
Nadine walks out of the closet furious.
Later that night
Nikolas was at Lucky and Liz's telling them about what he saw earlier that day.
"I can't believe she is cheating on me. I love Nadine but obviously she doesn't feel the same way about me."
"Nikolas, calm down. Don't fly off the handle yet. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation. Get the facts first then react," Liz responded.
"REASONABLE EXPLANATION! Her lips were on his that is the only fact I need."
"Calm Down."
The doorbell rings.
Liz goes to answer it.
"Hi Nadine." Liz kisses Nadine on the cheek.
Nadine walks in the house and goes over to Nikolas to kiss him but he turns his head.
Nadine looks at him strangely. Nikolas couldn't even look at her.
"Lucky I need your help in the kitchen." Liz said pulling Lucky's arm.
Nikolas gives them pleading looks not to leave him alone with her.
"Nikolas what's wrong?"
"What makes you think there's something wrong?"
"I don't know. Maybe the cold shoulder you're giving me."
"I'm not giving you a cold shoulder. Maybe it's your guilty conscience."
"Guilty Conscience? What are you talking about?"
Liz and Lucky reenter the room; neither of them even realizing their presence.
"Nikolas, what are you talking about?"
"I saw you. At the hospital."
"You saw me what?"
Nadine gives him a look like she has no idea what he's talking about.
"I saw you kissing that doctor."
Nadine starts laughing.
"I don't find this the least bit funny," Nikolas says while giving her the dirtiest look.
"I'm sorry Nikolas. I didn't mean to laugh but you actually think there's something going on between me and Greg."
"So, Greg's his name."
"Nikolas, there's nothing going on. If you waited two seconds after you saw us in a lip lock you would have seen me push him off of me.
"Oh"
"Oh…Nikolas, don't you know me better than that? I would never do that to you."
"I'm sorry. I overreacted and jumped to conclusions."
"Nikolas, it's okay. But you have to trust me okay. If this is ever going to work we need to trust each other."
"Okay. I do trust you baby. But when I saw you in his arms I guess I got jealous and all reason went out of my head."
"It's okay…I've been there."
She kisses him on the lips and turns towards Liz and Lucky.
"I'm so sorry we just had a fight in front of you."
"It's okay. We're just glad you cleared the air." Lucky said
"Come on let's have dinner." Liz said
Nadine intertwines her arm with his and he puts his arm around her and kisses her earlobe and they walk into the dining room together.
