My Winter

(Some sexual harassment.)

Winter's pov:

I woke up feeling relieved and well rested. This is the best I've felt in... a long time. Perhaps it's because I talked about my mom's death. I never spoke about it to anyone. Except him.

He made me feel like I could tell him anything and everything, despite him getting angry with the people who hurt me. I guess he really does care for me. That much is obvious.

I had to smile at that. I'm not a game to him. He's the first and only man in my entire life that ever cared about me. That feeling felt good. It felt even better when my heart pumped a little faster. It made happy.

I went to place my hand on his arm, but I notice it wasn't wrapped around me like usual. When I turned over, I saw an empty spot next to me with a note on the pillow.

Morning, principessa. I'm sorry I couldn't wake up with you. I had some important business to take care of. Enjoy your day at work. I'll see you tonight.
~Nic

I smiled at his note. I feel like that will be our thing. I felt like a high-school teenager who has this massive crush on the hottest boy in school as I giggled and squealed on the bed.

Up until I saw the time. "Crap!" I jumped out of bed knowing I didn't have much time to get ready.

It's 9:13. I have to be at work at 10. I quickly texted Bruno, saying I need to go work and that I'm late. Then I took a quick shower, which is like 5 minutes, brushed my teeth, put little makeup on and changed. I dashed to the front door, not remembering to grab something to eat because I can't afford to be late.

Thankfully, Bruno was ready and waiting for me. He smiled when he saw how flushed I was for getting ready late. "Shut up."

"I didn't say anything." He put his hands up, as if to surrender.

"You didn't have to. That twinkle in your eye says it all." I pointed at him, quickly getting in.

Lunch came and I was thankful when Bruno grabbed me a a turkey sandwich from his favorite restaurant. I was honestly surprised I lasted this long to be honest. I half expected to pass out through the morning shift, but I made it through.

Chloe sat with me. She had Ramen for lunch. I won't lie, it smelled really good. I'll have to grab some later.

I found out a few things about her. She has a son. A husband who's in and out. She said it's mostly cause of business. I could tell there was something more. Her eyes said it all. I won't ask about it. I'll let her tell me when she's comfortable. I think she's trying to stay strong for her and her 9 year old son. I'll be here for her when she needs to speak about it.

That's what friends are for, right? I'm still knew at all of this. Every time I'm relaxed with her and laugh I get chills. I'm not used to being able to be myself and let myself have friends. It's amazing to know I'm no longer alone.

We had to work return shortly after. Nurses dont get breaks. They just get one long enough to eat and return. Sometimes nurses eat between patients.

Chloe had to go her separate way from me. The doctor I was training with paged me to room 203. It's the "VIP" room. At least that's what I call it. It's rooms for richer people.

I made it to the 3rd floor and searched for 203. I found it right from the elevator, the 3rd door on the right.

I knocked on the door and entered. I've never been in a VIP room before. It was big enough for at least 4 other patients. It had chairs, couch and a TV.

I saw a young man laying down on the hospital medical bed. Dark hair and brown eyes. He was fairly handsome, but there was something about him that rubbed me the wrong way.
