Zoe was about to head back in when suddenly see started sneezing none stop.
"Max" Zoe said in-between sneezes.
"Oi, don't blame me for this" he said chuckling and holding his hands up in surrender.
The only reply he got was Zoe sneezing again.
"It's you" she said and as soon as the words left her month she sneezed again.
"What's me?" Max wondered, knowing full well what she meant.
"What did you do?"
"By the way you stick of sick" Max said trying his best to imitate Zoe's voice.
"Max..." she sneezed again "That was..." sneeze "Pathetic..."
Max just sat there laughing his head off.
"This is not funny" Zoe said as another sneeze came.
"Oh come on doc don't say you're allergic to me" Max said wiggling his eyebrows at her.
Zoe just sneezed in response.
"Sorry, I sprayed my new aftershave Robyn got me, bit strong?"
"Yes, very" she said as she tried not to sneeze again.
"Anyway I need to get back to work, trolleys to push and all"
"Oh, so you do actually do some work then" Zoe said as she hoped her sneezing fit was over.
"Oi cheeky, these hands are very talented" Max winked as he stood up and started heading inside.
"Yeah, for pushing trolleys maybe"
"Amongst other things" Max called with a grin on his face then he disappeared back into the ED.
Zoe soon followed deciding she best get back to work herself.
The rest of the shift went by pretty quickly.
"Hey Zoe" she heard Max call as she left her office "How about I buy you a drink?" Max asked as he came to stand in front of her.
"No, I'm just going to go home and take a nice long bath" she sighed after her long day.
Max just grinned at her as thoughts of Zoe naked filled his mind.
"Earth to Max..." Zoe called snapping her fingers in front of his face to get his attention "I said maybe another time yeah?"
"Definitely" he said before walking away to meet Rita, Fletch and Robyn.
In the pub Max was chatting up a leggy brunette but as they stood chatting he couldn't help but think of Zoe and how much classier and better looking she was.
Max slammed his empty glass on the bar "How about we get out of here?" he asked, thoughts of Zoe frustrating him; he wasn't the type to turn down a good night, if you know what I mean, nope, not even for Zoe; he would have her eventually.
Max and the girl got back to his but something told him to stop; he couldn't do it, so the girl left, leaving an almighty slap across Max's cheek.
Max sighed as he lay back on his bed and flicked the TV on.
The next day came and Max rolled into work twenty minutes late much to Zoe's annoyance; this was the third time he had been late this week.
"Max, a word please" Zoe called as Max walked through the doors.
Without replying Max walked to the office and walked in, leaving the door open as he did.
He sat down on the sofa in the corner and put his feet up on the desk as Zoe slammed the door shut.
"Max, get your feet down" Zoe said walking over to him and slapping them so he took them down.
With an eye roll he took them off the desk and spoke.
"Look, I'm sorry I'm late" Max said honestly.
"Are you? You've been late three times this week..." Zoe started lecturing him.
"You spying on me now?" Max asked getting up from the sofa and stalking towards her.
"Max, I'm your boss" Zoe replied firmly.
"How could I forget" he said, looking her up and down, admiring how she looked in her tight bodycon.
Max was still walking towards her so she started to walk back until her back hit the desk leaving her with know where to go.
"It won't happen again" Max said in a husky voice "I promise" he whispered in her ear.
Max was never one to miss an opportunity so he placed his hands either side of her hips.
"Max..." Zoe said in a whisper as her face inched closer to his "You should go"
Zoe felt one of his hands move down her body so she quickly caught it "Max"
"Okay, Okay I'm going" he said holding his hands up in surrender before walking off with a big grin on his face.
Zoe felt flustered so she quickly went out deciding a cigarette was what she needed to calm her nerves.
