Over my dead body ~James Barnes~

Part 7

"The surgery went well, you need to rest and you have to stay in the hospital for at least a week, I'll come back later." I say to a woman who just got surgery.

"Dr. Russo, someone's asking for you in the waiting room." My chief tells me while I was on my way to the break room.

"Can't Dr. Hale take this one? I really need a break" I say since I've done 2 stomach surgeries without having food in my own.

"She's doing surgery right now, please take care of this one will you. Besides, I think he's just here for you."

"What?" Miles? Louis?

"Not. A. Patient" he says slow like I'm some sort of idiot, and she takes off.

"Not a patient." I say to myself while looking at some files from other patients.

"I was a patient, does that count too?" I hear a familiar voice behind me not to far away and I turn around to see this handsome huge man. God he's huge.

"What are you doing here James." I say trying to hide my smile but failed miserably.

"You told me I could come by anytime for my hand, so here I am." He says with his low, almost whispering voice, and it gives me chills through my spine.

"Follow me." I say and walk to one of the hospital rooms. "Yes Ma'am" he says and he walks behind me.

"You can sit on the bed." I say while grabbing his hand to look at the stitches.

"So... Mr. Barnes. Why are you really here?" I look at him and he's staring at me like crazy.

"I told you, my hand." He smirks at me knowing that his hand is totally fine. "Is your shift over again?" He asks, referring to the first time he was here.

"No its not, I work till 9." I put some cream on his hand for the scar. "You came during my lunch break this time." I smile while keeping my gaze on his hand.

"God, talking about bad timings." He says with a slightly amusing voice. "Tell me about it." I say and he leans back in his chair while I finish his hand.

I toss my gloves away and turn back around to see him still sitting in the chair looking at me.

"You owe me a lunch." I say with fully confidence like I have nothing to lose. All my weight leaning against the table behind me. He looks at me with a shocking face expression like he didn't expect it to hear that from me. I didn't even expect it from myself to be honest.

Without saying anything he stands up, grabs his jacket and walks towards the door. "Take your stuff, we're going"

We walk to his car and he opens the door for me. "So where are we going to eat?" I say a little too excited.

"I don't wanna drive to far away from the hospital since you have to get back. But there's a nice spot somewhere outside not far from here."

I look at him a little to long. "Thanks" I say with a smile. He quick glance at me up and down and then back to the road without saying anything.

We arrive at a really cute private spot with a couple tables outside in the sun. There are a couple others sitting there but it's really quiet.

"You look insane by the way." He states, his eyes roaming up and down my body before making eye contact with me.

"Even in my work uniform? I laugh while looking down at myself. "In that case, you should see me without." I say without realizing what I just said.

He smirks at me and leans back in his chair with his hand over his beard.

"I mean, in normal clothes, not in my work uniform" I say quickly to correct myself, hoping he doesn't find it too weird.

"i know what you meant." He says while smiling at me with this devilish smile.

"Have you been here before?" He asks me, while we're looking at the menu trying to decide what to order.

"No, never. This is actually the first time I'm in a restaurant since I moved here." I say when the ober walks towards us.

"What can I get for you two?" He asks while looking at me, waiting for me to make a decision. "I'll have the spinach ravioli please with red wine"

"I'll have the exact same." James says to the waiter without breaking his eye contact with me.

The waiter walks away and James leans with his arms crossed on the table to get close to me. "He was checking you out."

"Oh I didn't notice." I say while looking around me because I'm getting too nervous when we're making eye contact for too long.

"I did." He says, and he leans back in is chair.

After a while, our food arrived and we talked about everything.

"So.... James. What is it that you do?" I ask him since I don't know anything about him.

"I run a business with my best friend Steve." He says while taking a big sip of his wine. "What kind of business?" I ask. Maybe it's the wine talking but I'm curious and cant stop asking questions.

"Way too curious." He smirks while looking directly into my eyes. My heart literally drops at the statement he just made. Butterflies growing inside of me and I feel my breath struggling coming out of my throat.

"Come visit me and I'll show you." He says and my appetite just dissepeared. He as a terrible affect on me and I didn't even know that until now.

"I like your suit." I say while keeping my gaze in my food. Kinda regret saying that, kinda not. Maybe this is my attempt to flirting. it is in fact the first time I gave him a compliment.

"Oh yeah? You should see me without." He says with a smirk. God he knows what he's doing. I look at him with a smile that I'm trying to hide like crazy.

"I mean, in normal clothes of course." He states with a big smile and a wink, leaning on the table to come closer to me.

"Yea, keep mocking me." I say which makes him laugh and we keep eating until it's time to head back to the hospital.

We walk towards his car and his hand is dangerously low on my back. Once we arrived at his car he removes his hand by sliding it from my left hip to my right, softly and quickly over my butt almost unnoticeable without breaking any contact with my skin. This small touch gave me butterflies between my legs and made my panties soaking wet not gonna lie.

After a short ride we arrive back at the hospital unfortunately. He locks the door so I can't open it myself and he walks to the passenger side to open the door for me.

"Such a gentleman." I say. Bringing my shoulder to my cheek.

"Hmm" he says while looking at me with his dark eyes.

"The lunch was delicious. I enjoyed it." I say while walking towards the hospital entrance.

"No worries."

When I almost walked away, I turn around and give him a hug. He holds my waist really tight like he was waiting for this. He even lift me up 1 millimeters from the ground and I accidentally led out a short chuckle. He looks at me with a smirk and walks away.

"Have a nice night Dr. Russo."

"You too Barnes."
