Connor leaned against the nurse's station, smiling fondly at you, as he watched you type away on the keyboard. Eyes focusing on the screen.
He felt his heart rate flutter. His feelings for you grew ever since he had sex with you. He was too scared to confess his feelings for you just in case you rejected him and told him you didn't feel the same way.
Neither Connor nor you noticed Maggie looking at the both of you with a knowing smirk. Shaking her head. She was wondering when the two of you were finally going to admit that he and you had feelings for each other.
"When our shifts are over, I was thinking we could hook up," Connor spoke, making a smirk appear on your lips.
"Or instead of waiting till the end of our shift, we could have a quickie," You suggested, looking away from the screen to look at Connor. Taking your lower lip in between your teeth. Connor felt himself fall in love with you even more. As well as grow hard.
His finger went up to the side of your face, tucking the loose piece of hair behind your ear. Making your breath hitch. While Connor smirked. Eyes darkening with lust.
He opened his mouth to speak, but the sound of a woman's loud voice cut him off.
"Help him," She pleaded. Desperation on her voice. As she did her best to support the man. But she was struggling to hold his weight.
Maggie, Connor and you, quickly rushed to her side.
Connor wrapped his arm around the guy. You quickly went to her side. Gently touching her shoulder. She looked at you through tear-filled eyes. Looking frazzled. Pulling her away from the guy.
Connor assisted the semi-unconscious guy to a gurney. Grabbing a pair of gloves as he walked into the room. Putting them on his hands. Connor examined the deep cut
"I'm fine," He grumbled out, as Connor took the torch out of his pocket. Shining the torch in his eyes. Noticing his pupils were bigger.
"Do you remember what happened?" Connor asked him.
"He passed out," She gasped out from outside the door.
"We were in a car accident," He replied. Slightly dazed.
"Do you remember your name?" Connor asked as the guy's head slumped down.
"Luke," He replied.
"It's okay, Hun, we are going to help him," You reassured her, as sobs racked her body.
You let go of her shoulder. Giving her one last reassuring smile, before rushing over to Connor. Grabbing a pair of gloves as you entered the room. While Maggie patched up the wound on his head.
"Is there ringing in the ears that doesn't go away? Any weakness in your arms or legs?" You asked as Connor took his stethoscope out of his pocket. Putting the ear tips in his ear. Putting the diaphragm on his chest, where his heart was located. Listening intently. Furrowing his eyebrows slightly. Nothing sounded off.
The guy let out a groan, making Connor and you meet each other's eyes.
"I have a headache, there is ringing in my ears," He responded.
Connor's eyes looked up to look at you. Your eyes meeting his.
"Let's do an MRI scan and a CT and run a full body scan to rule anything else out," You spoke, making Connor nod.
"Luke, we are going to take you upstairs, for an MRI scan, okay," You informed him, as Connor put the railings up. Maggie unlocked the brakes with her foot. While you did the same on the end brakes.
The women quickly lurched forward. As Connor and you rolled the guy out of the room.
Maggie held the women back, as Connor and you wheeled the gurney into the elevator. Going to the floor where the MRI room was.
"Do you remember what today is?" You asked, trying to get more information out of him.
"Ah..." He answered.
"Wednesday," He replied, making you give him a slight smile. As the elevator doors dinged, opening up. Connor and you looked at each other having a silent conversation with each other.
Connor and you quickly rolled the gurney out of the elevator and towards where the MRI machine was.
"Luke, do you have any metal in your body we should know about?" You asked him. Luke shook his head no.
Helping him off the gurney, and onto the table. Laying him down on the table. Making sure his head faces the bore.
"Luke, this is Doctor Evans, she is going to slowly pull the table towards the machine," You spoke, pointed to Doctor Evans, who gave Luke a reassuring smile. Not that he turned his attention to her. He looked slightly panicked. His eyes looking at the ceiling.
"You are going to be okay, just breath in and out," You reassured him. Turning around. Connor and you walked out of the door, and into the room Doctor Evans was in. She nodded her head at Connor and you, starting the process.
"You might feel a little weird, Luke, but just breath in and out, try not to think about it, find your happy place," You instructed him, pressing the intercom. Connor looked at the monitor that showed Luke's brain.
You looked at the screen, noticing that everything was fine. Connor turned his gaze to look at you.
"Everything looks fine, we should do a CT scan, see if there is a fracture," You spoke.
"Yeah," Connor agreed with you. Giving Doctor Evans a small smile. While you went to Luke, the table going out of the MRI machine. Luke honestly looked like he was going to be sick.
"Hey, Luke, everything looked fine, but we are going to take you to the CT scan room now, and do a CT scan," You spoke. Grabbing the gurney and bringing it over to him.
Luke let out an annoyed grunt as a response. As you helped him off the table and onto the gurney.
Connor walked into the room
"Hey buddy, one more scan, and then you can go see your girlfriend," Connor spoke, as he and you wheeled Luke out of the room and down the corridor going towards the room where the CT scan machine was.
"Oh, she's not my girlfriend," He responded. Making Connor's eyes slightly widen at his mistake.
"Oh, sorry, your sister then," He corrected himself. Smiling at Luke.
Luke shook his in disgust. Making Connor look at you. you looked just as confused.
"She isn't my sister," He grumbled, feeling slightly irritated. You weren't sure if it was at Connor or the fact he had to have another scan.
"Well, your friend then," Connor spoke. Making Luke let out an annoyed grunt.
You gave Connor a comforting smile. Both of you feeling slightly relieved when the two of you entered the room where the CT scan machine was in.
Connor and you helped Luke out of the gurney and onto the table.
Connor quickly pushed the gurney to the side, going out of the room and into another room where the monitors were. Probably to avoid more of Luke's irritable mood.
Luke grabbed your wrist before you could turn around. Looking at you with pleading eyes. Face edged with worry.
"This won't take long will it, I... just," He spoke, forehead creasing as he tried to think of the words to say, you gave him a slight smile.
"It shouldn't take long, all we are just checking for is a fracture," You spoke, giving him a warm smile. He let go of your wrist. You could see worry clouding in his eyes. Making you purse your lips.
"I'm sure she is alright, I'll go get her after your CT scan is finished," You spoke.
"Promise?" He asked, holding his pinkie finger up. Making you smile.
"Promise," You responded, hooking your pinkie finger with his. You unhooked your finger from his turning
"I have to tell her I feel the same way," Luke mumbled, thinking you didn't hear him, as you turned around and opened the door to the room Connor was in.
Connor arched an eyebrow at you. Making you let out a small chuckle.
"What?" You asked him. Taking a seat next to him.
"What did you promise him?" Connor asked as he started the process for the CT machine.
"He wants to see the girl that bought him in here," You responded. Looking at the monitor, while Connor's eyes were locked on you.
Connor rolled his eyes slightly.
"Hopefully, he is nicer to her," Connor grumbled. Making you let out a slight chuckle.
"I think he might have feelings for her," You spoke.
"Poor girl," Connor grumbled. Making you playfully roll your eyes.
You pressed the intercom to the mic.
"Hey Luke, you might feel a little bit strange, don't panic, remember to breath in and out," You spoke, your voice coming through the speaker.
You let go of the intercom. Looking at the monitor intently as the scans slowly showed up.
"Well, everything looks fine," You spoke, tapping your index finger on your chin.
"Yeah," Connor responding. Squinting his eyes. You slightly moved closer to the screen. Making Connor's breath hitch at how close you were to him. Connor pushed his feelings aside. Focusing on the brain scans on the monitor.
"Wait," You muttered seeing something questionable.
"Does that look like a linear fracture to you," You spoke, pointing at where you saw it. Connor looked closely at where you were pointing. You looked at him intently, waiting for his response.
"I can't see anything," Connor spoke. Not seeing what you were pointing out. Making you frown. You look again. You let out a sigh as you saw nothing. Maybe it was your eyes playing tricks on you.
"Okay, pull him out, and tell him the news, I'll go get her," You spoke, getting up from the chair and exiting the room, going to go find the girl that came with Luke.
When you exited the elevator the girl quickly rushed over to you.
"Is he going to die?" She gasped out. The rim of her eyes red. Tears filling her eyes.
"Have you got checked out?" You asked her. Ignoring her question by asking her a question.
"Yes, oh my god he is dying isn't he?" She cried out.
"No, he isn't dying, he is in the clear, it's just a concussion, I can take you to him," You spoke.
She nodded her head, making you smile. You pressed the button for the elevator, making the elevator doors open. You walked into the elevator, while she followed you.
She let out a sigh.
"Make sure you look after him, and he doesn't do any sports, try to temporarily reduce time spent on sports, video games, TV or too much socialising," You told her.
"If his headache pain is too much...." You spoke again only for her to interrupt you.
"Are you in a relationship?" She bluntly blurted out. Making you look at her in shock.
"It's complicated," You nervously gasped out. Wishing the elevator would hurry up and reach the level it was meant to be on.
"You should tell them you love them, before it's too," She spoke through broken sobs. You gave her a sad smile. Resting your hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her.
"Oh, Hun, he is in the clear," You reassured her. Giving her a reassuring smile. She looked at you with sad eyes filled with tears.
"I know, but I told him I loved him and he just stared at me, so I ran off and now he is in this mess," She sobbed out.
"You know before he got his last scan, he said he felt the same way," You spoke. Making her smile slightly.
"Really?" She beamed at you. Making you nod. She let out a squeal. The elevator dinged as it arrived on the floor. She rushed out. her eyes lighting up as she saw Luke in a wheelchair. She quickly wrapped her arms around him hugging him. Connor looked at them with a soft smile. Wishing that were him and you, but he was too scared to tell you in fear of getting rejected.
Connor looked up to see you walking out of the elevator. You beckoned him to follow you. Connor followed you into an unoccupied room.
Giving you a questionable look. You cupped the side of his face softly. bringing your lips up to his and kissing him passionately. Sparks flew between Connor and you. Connor felt his breath hitch. Heart rate speeding up. Eyes closed, as warmth filled his body and yours.
You pulled away from him, making Connor's eyes flutter open. Connor and you stared intently into each other's eyes. Breathing heavily.
"I love you, more than a friend," You confessed breathlessly. Heart rate speeding up. Nerves taking over your body. Connor felt his heart skip a beat. You finally spoke the words he was too afraid to tell you. most importantly you felt the same way.
"I just had to tell you before it was too late," You gasped out. Still keeping eye contact with him. You were too nervous to see the joy in Connor's eyes.
"I mean I can understand if you don't feel the same way, I will respect that, though it might be hard and weird between us, we can get through...." You babbled out only for Connor to cut your rambling off by pressing his lips against yours. Kissing you with so much passion. His eyes as well as yours fluttering closed. His hands cupping the side of your face. His thumbs caressing your jawline.
Connor pulled away from you. Resting his forehead against yours. His eyes fluttering opened as well as yours.
Connors locked his eyes with yours.
"I love you too," He confessed. Beaming at each other. Your eyes lit up with happiness. Heart skipping a beat. Smiling happily at him. Wrapping your arms around his neck.
Both of you beaming with happiness. Both feeling joyful over the fact the love the two of you shared for each other was mutual. Connor tilted his head on an angle, lowering his lips to yours. Eyes fluttering closed as he pressed his lips against yours softly. Your eyes fluttered shut, as you let out a content sigh. Connor's hands moved away from your face, trailing down to your waist, holding tightly onto your waist. Pulling you closer to his body, as he deepened the kiss.
The sound of his pager and your pager went off, wrecking the moment.
Connor and you pulled away from each other. Groaning. You pouted at Connor, making him smile down at you. His hand cupping the side of your face. Thumb caressing your jawline. Looking at you with soft eyes.
"Your adorable," He cooed. Making you slightly flustered.
"We're going to finish this later," You demanded, Making Connor smirk.
"Definitely," He smirked. Making you take your lower lip in between your teeth...
