A Doctor's Man

Chapter 12 - Another Meeting

Hey guys! Here's #12! Enjoy!

A week after the Reunion.

Chloe still couldn't believe it. John has been brought back from the dead, her grieving stopped, but her worrying was somewhat started once again. She was glad, though. She's was willing to trade torture for less torture.

She was at work in the Huerta Memorial Hospital as usual, but with a smile on her face. She was riding through the promotions for her determination and her hard work. She was glad, again, for the paying off.

She sat on a bench in a hallway, on her data pad, looking through the news.

"Mysterious 'Archangel' cleans out major mercenary groups on Omega," One Article title she read.

And on the same day, "Omega Plague under control."

She wondered, could it be him? There's a good chance it was. He's the only person she knows who is capable of performing such dangerous tasks that quickly.

"Chloe!" She heard.

She looked down the hallway to see a man with his arms open, she smiled, standing up, then walking over to him.

She opened her own arms as they embraced. They squeezed slightly before easing the grip.

"How have you been?" He asked.

"I've been great, now that we'll never be separated again," she told him with a smile.

"Not even death will put a line between us," John told her.

She nodded with agreement, "Even if it did, I would and will step over the line."

"So would I," John replied.

"What about you, how have you been doing?" She asked.

"I, I've been busy, trying to build up my team."

She nodded, "Is it hard work?"

"Sort of."

She nodded, then resting her head on his chest. John rested his head against hers, sniffing the sweet fragrance of what seems like strawberries. It felt like heaven to him at this point.

"Mmm, I missed your hair, that strawberry smell..." He told her.

She laughed, "I figured it was your favorite."

"And it is..." He muttered, losing himself to the perfume.

She laughed again.

"Ok, I just wanted to drop by. I've got to get moving, a lot of work to do," John said, releasing Chloe.

She nodded again as she let go. They held hands, looking into each other's eyes.

"I love you," Chloe told him.

"I love you more," John said with a grin.

She shook her head, "Nope, I do."

He smiled, "I guess you do..." He said as they closed the distance between each other, Chloe laughed softly.

Their lips sealed, and didn't depart until air was needed.

"Stay safe," were her words that exited her mouth afterwards.

"I'll make it back to you, if that's what you mean," John replied.

"Ok, go ahead and do your running, I've got to get back to work," Chloe said to him.

He nodded, "See you later, Chloey-Chloe," he said with a grin, backing up.

"Bye, Johnny-John," she said with a small wave of her hand, eyes blinking, lovely smile, and sticking her hips to the side.

He laughed as he stopped, then smiled, "That is beautiful, right there."

She laughed as well, "Really?"

"Well...it isn't as beautiful as you are," he flirted, still smiling.

She blushed, wrapping her hands together and letting them all the way down as she rocked them side to side, bowing her head, looking at him with puppy eyes.

And that, killed his manliness. It melted his insides.

"My god..." He said, speechless, "You've been practicing, haven't you?"

She giggled, "Maybe..."

"But, I love it! And you even more." He said to her.

She gave him a smile after returning to normal, "Ok, That's all for today."

"Aw," he groaned.

She laughed at him once more, "Don't worry, I'll do it again another time."

He chuckled, "I'll be waiting."

"I'll be here," she replied.

"Ok, really, I've got to run before they send out a search party. I'll see you again soon," John told her, beginning to walk backwards slowly again.

"Bye! Be careful," she told him.

"I will," was his response before spinning around and heading off.

She let out a happy sigh as she watched him go.

"You'll always be in my heart," she said to herself, directing the phrase at John as he disappeared into an elevator, he peeked out and waved at her. She did the same back with a smile, then he was gone again.

It felt as if they never said good-bye.

And there you have it!

I liked that part, adds a romantic, yet humorous good-bye.

Thanks for reading, and please leave a review!
