More and More

Part 1

It was yet another busy day in the ED and Connie knew she should be out on the floor helping out but she just could not bring herself to leave the comfort and safety her office provided. More to the point Connie could not bring myself to leave in case she bumped into him.

'Why did he have to come bursting through the resus doors 5 weeks ago, why did he have to prove himself as a qualified and competent nurse and more to the point why did I have to tell him about the job?! I know why! I was stunned by his charm, looks and more to the point his straight to the point attitude he reminded me a lot of myself and I wanted the challenge of working with him. I just did not know it would be this hard to work this closely to him, these feelings were never supposed to start, but when someone is such a flirt what feelings would you expect to creep up. Ever since he officially started 3 weeks ago and asked me if I was coming for a drink, he is the only thing on my mind anymore. He is constantly around me not that I mind. I let on that I mind but really I quite like him being there.' Connie thought to herself whilst sat in her office.

She is dragged away from her thoughts by her office door swinging open. She knew without looking up who it is , only one person in this place has the guts to enter her office without knocking and waiting for a response
"Good morning boss, quick question?" Jacob asked confidently.
"Mrs Beauchamp" Connie replied glancing up at him.
"That's the question" He grinned leaning on the door handle.
"Sorry you've lost me" Connie replied looking up to him confused.
"Beau-champ, beauchamp? What's the deal with that?" Jacob asked grinning.
She is rendered speechless so picks her phone up and pretends to make a phonecall, anything not to answer that question.
"Don't worry you can get back to me" Jacob said smirking leaving the office not before turning back and winking in my direction. God that man infuriates me but I can't help but love the attention.

After sitting in her office for a further hour doing paperwork she finally decides to leave and help out. Who would of thought the ice queen Connie Beauchamp scared to leave her office. She walked over and join Charlie in cubicles who is treating an elderly woman after experiencing a dizzy spell.
"This is Amy Beth, collapsed after feeling lightheaded. She was setting up for her wedding to Francis today." Charlie updated her smiling and handing Connie her notes.
"Can we have a head CT and an x-ray of the ankle please Charlie" Connie asks placing the notes on the end of the bed and start taking a look at her ankle. As Connie is walking out of the cubicle Max enters with another elderly lady following close behind, who she just assumes its Amy Beth's sister, that's until I hear "Francis you're here!"
A little while later all of the results are back and showing a sprain but nothing more and Amy Beth is discharged home that is until Jacob and Big Mac stop them at reception.
"I hear someone was supposed to be at a wedding today." "Big Mac questions smiling.
"Yes, but its too late for all that now" Francis replies.
"Hey never say never, we have spoken the registry office and they are willing to go ahead and we've even sorted out transport for the two of you. Now go with Big Mac here and enjoy your special day, you both deserve it!" Jacob said grinning, a smile so big he could contend with a Cheshire cat!
Connie is stood watching the whole scenario from the reception desk where she is signing off some notes as Jacob goes to walk past her she calls him over.
"Staff Nurse Masters, a word please?"
"Yes boss!" He replies swiftly turning to face me.
"Mrs Beauch...Beauchamp" she sighs before continuing "Am I to understand you are now involving yourself in the private life of patients?"
"No need to thank me" Jacob smirks, all the while she can't stop looking at him.
"I will let it go this once for a special occasion" she replies whilst turning back to the notes in front of her.
"You see I knew it wasn't true what they said about you. You know you still haven't told me about this Beauchamp, Beauchamp thing" He states so matter of factly.
Connie pushes her tongue in to the side of her mouth. "Do you know what some of us have busy ED's to run" she replies shooting her famous glare in his directions, which he returns just as strong. "It's my married name, was my married name." she sighs finally giving into him.
" Fair enough, enough said. I will speak to you later...boss." Jacob smirks whilst walking away.

Connie stands there rooted to the spot in shock at the effect he has on me. That man is going to be the death of me if he continues like this. She wants him so much but I know its not the right thing for ice queen Connie to do, but then again she is allowed to have some fun isn't she?
