The New Girl

Movie

When Lexi got home from work at 5, you asked her if she was ok with EZ coming over later. She didn't have a problem with it, which you figured would be the case. She was pretty cool about understanding your need for a life beyond being her mom's nurse. The two of you were eating dinner when you decided you needed to talk to her.

"Hey Lex, can I talk to you about something?"

"Yeah, of course."

"I've been thinking, even before meeting EZ. I love being your mom's nurse and taking care of her. That isn't going to change. But, only having that few hours each week out of the house is getting rough. I was hoping that we could maybe bring the relief nurse in either one day a week, or a couple nights. I'll pay her, since it's to give me a break."

"We can definitely do that. I assumed at some point you'd want to have a life outside of this house. You don't have to pay her. All that kind of stuff comes from the respite allowance through mom's insurance. I'd just have to put in the paperwork to get her listed as another primary caregiver. She makes more here than she does at her other job, so I doubt she'd have an issue picking up more hours. I'll ask her."

"I really appreciate it. I don't want you to think I'm flaking on you and your mom just because I met a guy. I promise that isn't the case. I just know I'm a better nurse when I also have time to be me."

"I totally get it. I'd go crazy if I was here all day almost every day. I'll talk to her and we'll get it set up."

"Thanks, babe."

"No problem, bitch."

You chuckled at that. If other people heard her call you that, they'd probably assume she was being mean, but it was a term of endearment from her.

Your alarm went off to give meds and do a couple other things with her mom, so you headed to do that. You hadn't heard from EZ yet, so you were hoping that meant he wasn't going to have club shit to do. Yeah, you'd spent the last two nights with him, but the excitement of your new relationship had you wanting to spend as much time with him as possible. You straightened up your room, not that it was that messy. You planned to watch a movie in there, so you didn't have to behave yourself if you didn't want to. The door had a lock, and it was at the end of the hallway, separated by a bathroom from the other bedrooms. Across from your room was another spare bedroom, so it was empty. While you were cleaning things up, you got a text from EZ.

Hola cariño. I talked to Bishop and he said there was nothing going on tonight, so I'm good to come over. I just have to keep my phone on in case he needs me.

Awesome. I'm technically on shift with Lexi's mom all night, but Lexi is here and said she'd keep an eye on her. Other than medicine and vitals, she doesn't need anything for the rest of the night.

What time did you want me to come over?

Any time is fine with me.

Ok, cool. Give me like 45 minutes?

No problem.

You went out to let Lexi know he'd be over in a bit, then went to brush your teeth and freshen up a bit. You had no intention of overdoing it. You usually put on makeup after your shower, because it made you feel good about yourself. So, you ran a brush through your hair, and changed into some comfy booty shorts and a tank top. You usually wore scrubs while working, since it wasn't uncommon to get blood or puke on your clothes.

You were at the table talking to Lexi when EZ knocked on the door. As soon as you'd opened it, he had his hands cupping your cheeks and pulled you into a kiss.

"Fuck, sweetheart, I've been waiting all day to do that."

You smiled wide up at him. "Beer?"

He nodded, then kicked off his shoes, and you laced your fingers with his as you led him to the kitchen. Lexi was still at the table, so he said hi to her as you grabbed the beer.

"Come on, we are gonna hang out in my room."

He smiled and followed you down the hall. As soon as the door was shut and locked, you set the beer on your dresser and wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him into a kiss. You tilted your head to deepen it, and spent the next few minutes just kissing. When you pulled back, you gestured to the bed and grabbed the beer. He took off his kutte and put it on your dresser, then sat down with his back against the headboard.

"Preference on movie?"

"No chick flick, please," he said with a laugh.

"The Notebook it is," you said with a wink. You turned on Captain America: The Winter Soldier. "Hope you don't mind Marvel. I'm a bit of a comic book nerd. I used to read them to help me practice my English."

"Sounds good, sweetheart. Now come here." He lifted his arm so you could snuggle into his side. You had your head on his shoulder while he held you, his fingers absentmindedly brushing up and down your arm.

"Novia, those booty shorts are killing me. Your ass is amazing."

You chuckled and blushed, before turning to climb on his lap. His hands immediately went down to cup your ass, as you leaned in to kiss him. It didn't take long to get lost in the kiss, the movie forgotten.
