Noah

Chapter 4

Noah
After all this time, the woman I was still madly in love with, thought she caught me cheating on her. What the fuck? I was filled with anger immediately and my body was physically reacting. If it was possible for steam to come out of my ears now, would be the time.

Only one emotion filled me and it was anger. Not with her, but the thought she was hurting because she thought I betrayed her in the worst possible way. I need her back; I need my Queen back. I've longed for her and her touch for far too long to go another moment without her. I don't know how the hell I was going to finish a twelve hour shift in the emergency department tonight.

This is going to be torture, but I need to find a way to speak to her. I don't care how Darien thinks I should handle this, I have to speak to her. All that consumed my thoughts were her and the fact that we'd never discussed this. Taking in a deep breath, I remind myself I have to push through and take care of my patients. But as soon as I can, I'm going to find Bria.

"Dr. Westbrook?" Cara says, "I'm going to check on the patient in 4 can you look over his chart? I can't understand what the pathologist updated in his chart."

"Yea I'll check it now."

Just as I made way to the nurses station, I look up to see Greyson standing in the lounge watching me like a fucking creep. I shook my head and, in a chair and started reviewing my patients chart. I look up again because I could feel his eyes still locked on me. That's when I heard the lounge door open.

"Dr. Westbrook." I look up from the computer in annoyance, but making sure the asshole couldn't read me.

"Yes Dr. Knight?"

"Follow me to my office please."

The chatters from the nurses were scattering and I turned to them mid eye roll, and pointed to them.

"I have my eyes on you all. Get to work."

They knew I wasn't serious. I liked to keep our work shifts fun, relaxed and as stress free as possible. I was never harsh or strict with them unless I needed to get a point across. I haven't been here long but they all enjoyed working their shifts with me. I pride myself on being a great Doctor with my patients and those who work around me. No more slip ups, especially now that it was obvious he's watching me.

"Dr. Westbrook. Please sit."

"What can I do for you Dr. Knight?"

He sits and just stares at me, like he's trying to intimidate me. I don't think he understands that shooting daggers at me isn't going to do shit. He does not and will not scare me into or out of anything.

"Dr. Knight? If you don't mind, I have patients to tend to. With all do respect, I can't sit here in silence so if there's something you'd like to discuss then let's talk. Otherwise, I have a busy emergency department to run."

"You know, after a few months of being with me, she stopped crying for you in her sleep every night. She stopped having nightmares."

"Excuse me?" I said completely taken backq, not expecting the words that just came out of his mouth.

"Oh Noah. If you think you can come back and try to weasel your way back into her life, you've got your work cut out for you. She isn't going anywhere."

"If you're talking about Bria, I have no intentions of weaseling my way back to anyone. If your relationship is so secure, then you shouldn't feel threatened by me or anyone else."

"You think I feel threatened by you Noah?"

"I don't know Greyson. You're the one that pulled me into your office to tell me about what? Anything other than our job and everything about my ex. If you were so sure about how strong your relationship is, we wouldn't be having this discussion."
