“I already told you I’d give it to you.”
He’s about to hand my phone back to me when a YouTube notification comes across it. He swipes the announcement, and a video of a doctor removing a cyst pops up.
“So, you really do love this stuff.” He grins at me.
“Yep. I get sucked into it.”
“You are seriously the hottest girl I’ve ever met, in so many ways.”
My cheeks heat.
We watch a few minutes of the video, commenting on things and laughing until he throws the phone on the bed and turns into me, resting his face on his elbow. “Do you ever go to New York?”
“Only once. I went with the girls to Times Square for New Year’s Eve.”
He rolls his eyes. “That is not the way to experience New York.”
“It was okay. I take it you don’t like drunks throwing up and peeing in the streets?”
“I always hated New Year’s Eve. The ambulance could hardly move.”
“Surgeons go in ambulances? Is that a New York thing?”
He strokes my hip. “No. Noah and I were paramedics. It’s how we paid for school.”
I jerk back inshock. “Really?”
“Yep.”
“Wow. That must have been a crazy schedule.”
He shrugs. “It was worth it.”
“So you were a paramedic and in med school. How is that even possible? Did you ever sleep?”
He grins. “I can run on very little.”
“So, when you leave my place, you won’t go crash at Noah’s?”
“Probably not. Speaking of Noah, what’s up with him and Piper?”
“Honestly, no clue. She said he’s an asshole. Is he?”
Xander shakes his head. “Not that I’m aware of. Noah said she hates him?”
“She didn’t act like she did.”
“Sounds messed up to me,” he comments.
“You said you move in a few months?”
“Probably four. Dr. Richardson hasn’t set his retirement date yet.”
“Dr. Richardson is who you’re taking over for?”
“Yeah, you know him?”
“I do. I assist him in his surgeries.”
