Chapter 11:
Max shut the door behind him and stood in the middle of Zoe's office whilst Zoe just looked at him and let out a loud sigh whilst pulling her hair back out of her face.
"You like to cause me trouble don't you?" She said in a joking manner.
"Well although I didn't intentionally mean for you to find out about all of this, it did allow us to spend more time together." He said with a big grin on his face.
"Hm..." Zoe replied not knowing quite what to say which made Max feel slightly hurt.
"Well I for one enjoyed our time together, didn't you?" Max questioned.
"No Max because for a second I thought that you'd seriously injured yourself. You scared me half to death and ruined my favourite jacket."
"... I didn't realise you cared." Max said realising that he was experiencing a different side to the Zoe Hanna that is presented around the hospital.
"Of course I care Max but you do something like that again and I swear you won't just have a bad arm next time." She said with a smile on her face. Max walked around the desk to where Zoe was sitting and she stood up to face him.
"How's the arm?" She said lifting it up to her eye level.
"Well the best doctor in this hospital stitched it up for me."
"She must be a pretty good doctor then."
"Yeah and a good looking one too." This made Zoe smile which automatically caused Max to smile. He bent down slightly and she placed her lips on his with force. They both broke apart to get their breath back. They continued to stand close to each other enjoying the presence of each other's company without words.
Zoe sat down and continued her work whilst Max trailed kisses down the back of her neck.
"You are a bad influence on me Max Walker. I've got to get this finished." Zoe said enjoying the pleasure that Max was giving her but she knew she had to get back to her report.
"Well you just say the word and I'll leave, but I think you and I both know you're enjoying this too much." This made Zoe grin and Max leant in closer but at this moment Linda walked in to Zoe's office making Max take a few steps away from Zoe. Zoe smiled at Linda who was shocked as to why Max was so close to Zoe and why the blinds were closed.
"Hi Linda, come in and take a seat. I just need to finish sorting Max's course out." Linda nodded suspiciously and Zoe turned to Max who stood awkwardly in the corner.
"So, you're okay to go on this course on the date that we arranged?" Max nodded and could see where Zoe was going with this cover story.
"Yes that's great thank you Dr. Hanna. I will remind you to book cover nearer the time like we also discussed." Zoe gave Max a thankful smile.
"Well, that is all Max. I shall send you the details." Zoe said as Max walked out of the room closing the door behind him letting out a loud sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Linda just gave Zoe a suspicious look.
Thank you for the lovely reviews. I really hope you are enjoying this story. Sorry for my lack of updating, I myself have been in hospital and ill (trust me it was nowhere near as interesting as Casualty) ;) . Please R&R it means a lot, I will update again tonight.
