Chapter Thirty-Three
Luke
“One of the nurses will be by shortly to take a blood sample from you,” I say to my current patient, before leaving the room with a skip in my step.
Most of the people waiting in here today could easily be seen at the minor injuries unit, but for some reason, they always end up coming here first. As if we aren’t busy enough. The plus of today is that Fallon is coming to meet me here, then we’re heading straight over to Maya's place. The shock must have been written all over my face when she told me that her best friend knows about us, because she couldn’t stop laughing. I'm loving it, how at ease she feels around me now, but I'm still shocked at every little step we take.
“Smyth,” my best friend shouts, jogging to catch up to me. “Drinks tomorrow after work? Will is coming, and I was thinking it would be good to bring Fallon.”
“Like a double date?” I ask, turning to check his reaction.
“Erm, well. We have kind of been hooking up again,” he admits, his head dropping to the floor, but he can't hide the smirk he's sporting.
Honestly, these two are made for each other. If only they could get past the ‘fucking’ phase and have an actual relationship. They're friends first, and somehow, the sex they have has never come between them.
We come to a stop outside my office, my hand on the doorknob.
“I’ll check with Fal, but yeah, it sounds good to me,” I say, edging the door open. “She is coming here to meet me now, then we are going…”
“What the fuck?” Dom gasps, his jaw almost hitting the floor.
Following his line of sight, I look into my office to see a certain nurse sitting on top of my desk. Practically fucking naked. Her scrub dress is open, hanging off her shoulders, exposing her barely there underwear beneath.
“Penny?” I ask, frowning at the sight of her, and ushering Dom inside and slamming the door so that no one can see what's going on. “What are you doing?”
“I’m here for you, Dr Smyth.”
What?
“Why?” Is all I can think to say.
Is she for real right now? I have barely evenspoken to the girl, and now I have seen more parts of her body than I ever wanted to. Don’t get me wrong, she is a lovely-looking woman, but she isn't my woman. And no one can compare to her.
She leans back slightly, spreading her legs wide, with no regard for the fact that Dom is a spectator in all of this. Shit, she even has those panties with a split up the middle.
“Penny!” I gasp in horror, averting my gaze to anywhere but at her.
“I thought this was what you wanted?” She purrs.
Dom struggles to contain his laughter from his perch in the corner.
“What in the world gave you that impression?” I gape, still not fully computing the situation. “I have a girlfriend, Penny.”
“This is too fucking funny,” Dom whispers, a palm covering his mouth.
Penny stands and starts to slowly make her way closer to me. Her dress drops to the floor, and her hands come up to yank my tie loose. She pulls at it, causing her body to become flush with mine. I raise my hands in surrender because I do not want to be mixed up in any of this shit. The last thing I need is for her to say I have touched her.
“You can't deny that this is what you want,” she bats her lashes.
“Nope, I definitely can,” but before I get thechance to get out of her clutches, my office door opens again.
Fallon is standing in the doorway like an angel coming to save the day, her eyes bouncing between me and Penny. I realise that Dom is out of her eyesight, so this must look ten times worse than I could imagine.
“I promise, this is not what it looks like,” I beg, my voice taking on an edge of hysteria. “I walked in here and found her like this. Fallon, I swear I didn’t touch her. My eyes didn’t touch her for long enough either, I swear.”
I'm very aware of how much I am rambling, but this will not be the reason Fallon runs from me. I have put in too much work and love her too much to lose her over some nurse that’s got the wrong idea.
She still hasn’t said a word, and Penny tries to shimmy up closer to me, shaking her tits against my chest. I keep taking steps away, but now I'm worried the girl is going to have me pinned against the wall. I don’t know what to do here.
