Serendipity

Longing

"That is something we will have to wait and see." I answered subtly crossing my fingers for some luck.

A few days passed and Katy was true to her word about keeping me bed bound. She was determined to help me with everything, and I was only allowed up for a few hours a day. Mostly because my tablets made me sleepy and because I couldn't let her have all the stress.

"Come on out then." I spoke looking over at my walk in wardrobe as I laid in bed.

"I'm not sure."

"I wanna see." I added making her mutter. I smiled hearing the muttering, it wouldn't be her without it.

"Fine." She called back before striding out of the walk-in.

I blinked looking at her. "Uhh.."

"You seriously get a kink from this?" She asked looking at herself.

It was then, no matter how much pain I was in, that I laughed. I laughed so hard that I cried with pain but the situation was comical and Katy was still none the wiser.

"You said you wouldn't laugh! Why are you laughing? You're such a weirdo!" She complained folding her arms.

When I thought nurse, like every hot blooded male, we thought of a short dress, maybe PVC, heels, fishnets. A naughty nurse!

But Katy?

The innocent, gorgeous looking woman stood in my room was wearing hospital green scrubs with her bare feet sticking out.

"Stop laughing." She warned.

"I- I'm trying!" I cried.

"Try harder Zak! Stop because of your stitches!" She fussed coming over to the bed.

I paused slightly to see the end result... Latex gloves hanging out her pocket.

I cracked up again resulting in Katy hitting me in the arm. "I'm gonna cause pain in a minute!" She bit.

"Y-you a-are!"

"Oh whatever." She huffed and went to leave when I pulled her back.

"You.. You look good." I breathed holding back my snigger.

"You're loving this aren't you? I knew I got it wrong.. I'm such an idiot." She frowned sitting beside my legs.

"No you're not.."

"Yeah I am. And I've made myself look dumb too. I just wanted to make you feel better-"

"You have! Hey look at me?" I asked making her head lift slightly. "You still look pretty hot and you made me laugh, which is making me better? Isn't it?"

"It's not the same."

"No maybe not. But it's still achieved something hasn't it?" I asked making her shrug.

"What an idiot though." She muttered before laughing at her mistake.

"Gimme a kiss." I whispered.

Katy shook her head looking at the bruising on my face "I couldn't bare the idea of hurting you in any way."

"Well can I kiss you then?" I asked turning the tables.

Mulling it over she smiled "I'd like that."

I leant forward slowly and closed the gap between us, I heard her breath catch in her throat as my lips touched hers softly. The moment was perfect, after days of avoiding any psychical contact in case she hurt me, I was able to hold her face and soothe her cheeks. Whilst she gripped onto my shirt in desperation.

When we finally broke apart, I tapped my fingertip on her nose gently 'Beautiful."

She smiled "You did dream of me, didn't you?"

I grinned "I did. In those hospital scrubs."

She pouted at my teasing before sharing the joke with me. "I'll dress up for you another time and hopefully we will both be able to enjoy the outfit together."

"Now that, is a promise."

I opened my eyes again and rolled onto my side to stare out into the garden. No matter what she was there, in my head with her words, her smile and laughter. Despite kicking me to the curb and casting me aside.

I still wanted her. But I couldn't give her everything she deserved, and that's why it kept us apart.

She wanted the fairytale, and I lived a nightmare.

She wanted to live in the light, and I was born to live in the dark.

She was the sun, and I was the moon..

I looked at the women beside me, holding similar features to Katy, her hair was the almost the same, but not as silky smooth. Her eyes were a different shape but the same colour. Her lips weren't as plump as hers, she didn't wake me up at 4am and feed be cereal or food which we were both in dire need for after a night of continuous sex.

None of them would be her. My not so sexy nurse in hospital scrubs with bare feet...

Longing- a Yearning Desire

A/n; currently no further with my back! :( although now I have been granted leave from work so I can rest for a couple days!

Also a shout out to ChasingShadows89 for her constant support and brainwaves! This lady is a star and often puts up with my rambling at all hours of the night. Also for giving me the idea of Zak's POV!!
