Nicole was glad she only had a week to go of working with Steve. She wanted this assignment over with. Not because of the kiss, but because she didn't trust herself to be around Sam. She'd been avoiding him for the past two days. Steve could sense something was wrong with both of them.
Steve and Sam were driving to an autograph signing. Steve was driving.
"Ok, what's going on with you and Nicole?" Steve asked.
"She came to my house for dinner the other night." "After dinner she told me that after she and her family moved away, she had a miscarriage." "She was pregnant with my child." "Things got emotional and we kissed." "She freaked out and left."
"Well can you blame her?" "She does have a fiancée."
"I know, but I think I still love her."
"Don't do this to yourself." "She seems to have moved on with her life."
"I know she still has feelings for me." "That's why she's avoiding me."
That Wednesday Nicole was in Steve's locker room. Sam's match was on in the background. As they were working Nicole noticed Sam hit his head on the barricade hard. She was concerned immediately but kept working. Sam won the match. About ten minutes later Steve got a text and checked it.
"Sam's going to the hospital." Steve said. "He thinks he has a concussion."
As they continued to work Sam text Steve again saying they were admitting him.
After Nicole and Steve were done Nicole went to the hospital. She'd just walked into Sam's room.
"Hey." He said.
"Hi." "Are you ok?"
"Yeah." "They're only keeping me for observation."
"I'm glad you're ok." She hugged him.
"Come here." They were about to kiss when her phone rang. She stood up and answered the phone.
"Hello?" "Hi honey." She quickly left the room.
