"Mr. Gibson I'm sorry but I don't deliver sponge baths, that's the nurses job." I laugh as I stand up.
The elderly black man looked at me and smirked.
"Well can you send me cute nurses?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"I'll see what I can do." I say before leaving his room.
I walked out into the hallway and looked down both ends. Trying to find a nurse that isn't busy has been the hardest task of my day. That and trying to stop myself from thinking about Devale. I heard he actually came into work today. I was going to talk to him but since he went MIA I think he should approach me. But maybe that's too much to ask a man like Devale.
"Hey Crystal you needed a nurse?" Nicole asked approaching me.
I tried my hardest not to roll my eyes. Even if Zena and I aren't on speaking terms right now I still don't like Nicole. That'll never change. Not soon anyway.
"Uh yeah Mr. Gibson needs a sponge bath and his insulin, in about thirty minutes." I tell her.
She nodded at my instructions and walked past to go to the room.
"Um can I ask you something?" She asked doubling back.
I looked up from clipboard and sighed. "What is it?" I ask her.
"You and Devale are you two like... dating?" She asked looking me up and down.
I chuckle a little bit debating on whether or not to answer the question.
"Why? Do you want him too?" I ask her.
"No but I have friend who's interest in him." Nicole shrugged her shoulders.
I smile softly and bat my eyelashes. I couldn't help but feel nauseous thinking about Devale leaving me for anybody in Nicole's circle of friends. He wouldn't do that. I would hope that after me he would trade up, even though that's going to be a hard trade.
"Nicole I'm into worried about you or your friends. Devale and I are in a relationship that is private, between the two of us. It doesn't concern you or anybody else in the hospital-"
"It's funny how your relationship is the only one that's private." She snapped back.
"What's that's supposed to mean?" I ask her.
She rolled her eyes. "You got my boyfriend sent to jail." She said.
I roll my eyes at her saying the word "boyfriend".
"Morris is not even your boyfriend and if he was why was about to kick my door down to see my friend?" I ask crossing my arms.
"Oh please. Zena is just good fuck to Morris—"
"And what are you? The mediocre booty call that he accidentally knocks up from time to time?" I ask lowering my voice. "Tell me Nicole, how many unborn kids have you given him?"
