"You've got to be kidding me," Mike sighed as he ran a hand through his hair.
"It's not like I'm going to try to rape you on the way," Eve laughed. "Come on, it's just two co-workers going to their signing together. Now come on!"
Mike felt as if he had no choice, and followed the diva. They barely spoke during the ride to the promo, and while sitting in the back, Mike pulled out his phone to surf the internet. Instead, he found a text from Taylor.
Ok sounds good. I love you.
I love you too baby, he smirked. I miss you like crazy!
"I know those lovey dovey eyes anywhere. Are you texting your new wife?" Eve smiled.
"If you must know, yes I am. Your very quizitive."
Eve shrugged. "I think it's nice you found someone to share your life with. I just hope she's good to you."
"You know, I really don't feel comfortable discussing my marriage with you. Especially since you and I have a past."
"Ok sorry," she shrugged. "Geez I was just trying to pass the time. Do you not want to talk about…um…"
"Taylor," Mike stated as Eve nodded. "Yes, I like talking about her to friends and family. But I'm just trying to get through this storyline. And like I said earlier, you and I have a past. I don't feel comfortable talking about my present with you."
Luckily, the limo arrived at the promo signing within a few minutes, and neither WWE superstar said a word to each other. Within several minutes, the director of the promo announced each superstar and luckily for Mike, the afternoon went by fast.
It was early evening when Mike made it back to his hotel room. After a quick shower & ordering room service, he grabbed his phone and dialed an all too familiar number. He smiled when her voice came on the line. "Baby, your voice is music to my ears!"
Taylor giggled as she put dishes away. "Has it been a rough day?"
"Put it this way- I had to spend the afternoon with someone I really don't care for. I'm just glad the signing went by fast."
"I see," she replied, fully knowing who he was talking about. "What are you doing now?"
"Nothing, just waiting on room service. What about you?"
"I'm putting dishes away, getting ready to go to work."
Mike frowned, looking at the clock. "Tay it's like 8 in the evening. Your going this late?"
"Someone's dad passed away, so I'm covering the rest of her shift. And in return, I get to come in later tomorrow."
The couple soon finished up their conversation, and Taylor made her way to the hospital. She was hoping it was going to be a slow night, and with the shift change in just a few hours, it very well could be.
After clocking in and going over some files from the afternoon, Taylor headed toward her first patient- none other than Chase. She took a deep breath, and knocked quietly on his door…hoping he would be asleep.
Taylor groaned inward as she walked further into the room to find Chase wide awake. He smiled when he saw his former girlfriend. "Your definitely a lot prettier than my last nurse."
"Is that why you're here? To pick up someone?" she asked, certainly glad he didn't respond. "How's your knee feeling? How would you rate the pain?"
"The knee is fine, and I rate it at like a 7. It's not too bad," Chase replied, watching Taylor write more notes down on his chart. "Tays, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, but don't call me that. You could only call me that when we were dating."
Chase stayed silent for a moment. "Are you in love with this Mike guy? Does he love you like I love you?"
Taylor couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Chase, I don't think that is any of your business."
"I just want to make sure and see if there is a future for us. Taylor I miss you like crazy."
Laughing, Taylor headed toward the room door to close it. "First of all," she began, " You had your chance, Chase. And you have a lot of nerve coming into my place of work and telling me all of this. You had a shot, and if you didn't fuck it up by cheating with someone who was supposed to be my friend than maybe we'd still be together. You made your bed Chase, and now you have to lay in it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get your nurse."
After checking on a few other patients, Taylor stormed back toward the nurses station. "Lindsay do you want to do me a favor?"
"I can try," Lindsay smiled. "What's going on?"
"Do you remember how I told you my ex-boyfriend is a patient of mine," she began, "Well he just tried to hit on me and ask if I was happy in my marriage with Mike. Will you switch me patients for the few hours I'm here tonight?"
"Oh my God! What a creep!" Lindsay exclaimed. "Yes I will definitely switch you patients."
"Thank you! And tomorrow, I'm talking to Cheryl and seeing if I can switch with someone until he's discharged," Taylor said, referring to the nurse supervisor.
"I don't blame you a bit!" Lindsay agreed.
Sorry so short! This was kind of a filler chapter
