When I wake up, I don't open my eyes. I turn around, stretch out, and then I open my eyes.
I see blonde hair right in front of my face.
Fuck.
I look up at the massive room I'm in. Definitely not my house.
It's pitch black except for a tiny bit of light coming out of the window in the other side of the room.
I lean over to get a better look at the woman next to me. Her face only slightly illuminated by the light on her side of the bed, I'm faced with my worst fear.
Charlotte King.
Double fuck.
I slept with Charlotte King?
Charlotte King is my boss at Oceanside and St. Ambrose. I moved here as a neuro attending two months ago along with Amelia Shepherd.
I groan and rub my eyes, the night before coming back to me. I look around and see my work shirt on the floor beside the bed. I don't see my trousers, just my underwear.
Quickly, I slip the shirt on along with my underwear, and begin buttoning it as I tiptoe out of the bedroom.
M'y eyes flicker around her house, searching for the trousers I was wearing yesterday. I curse under my breath when I can't find them. My eyes land on the couch. That's where we started last night. I tiptoe over and see my trousers wedged between couch cushions. I pull them out and begin putting them on when I hear a voice.
'What do you think you're doing?' Charlotte calls, her southern accent thick and her voice raspy. Nothing like the voice I hear in work.
In a panic, I death drop onto the floor and hit my head. 'Ow!' I groan, sitting up. Suddenly, Charlottes next to me.
'Hold on, I'll get you an ice pack.' She says lazily, as if this has happened many times before.
I watch as she walks over to the freezer and bends down to grab a block of ice, subconsciously scanning her up and down.
'What was that?' Charlotte asks, tossing the ice at me.
'What was what?' I place the ice on my head.
'You checked me out.' She responds coolly, a smirk rising on her face.
'I did not!' I exclaim, my face going red.
'No need to be upset- I'm not. I think it's funny.' Charlotte shrugs, placing her hand on the back of my head.
'You're my boss.' I say flatly.
'Not here. From what I remember, actually, you tried to boss me around.' I cover my ears with my hands, not wanting to hear her say it.
'It's okay! I didn't let you, anyway.' She laughs.
I look up at her. She's so relaxed, her smile hasn't left her face since she handed me the ice block.
'How's your head?' She says, quieter and gently. 'It's better.' I answer. 'Good.' She smiles again at me.
'We should get ready for work.' I suggest, not really wanting to move. Charlottes hand is still on the back of my head, and she's smiling so much that I feel out of place. Nothing like the Charlotte I see at work.
'Yeah.' She responds, standing up and pulling me along with her. 'You get those pants on and I'll go get dressed.' I watch as she walks into her bedroom.
Ten minutes later we're both ready to go.
'Oh! Can we stop at Starbucks? I'll pay!' I add. 'Fine, but we'll be late.' She warns. 'Am I in trouble with the boss?' I joke. She lets out a small laugh and parks the car.
'What's the name for the order?' A barista asks me. 'Um, Candice.' I say. She writes it on a cup and leaves.
'Candice?' Charlotte quizzes. 'I always give a fake name.' I explain. She nods, and grabs our drinks as the barista brings them out.
'You're so nice.' I blurt out when we're back in the car.
'What do you mean?' Charlotte asks, and I'm afraid to answer.
'I mean, you're so strict with everyone else. I'd never even seen you smile until this morning.'
'You mean when you were checking me out?'
'I was not!' I hit her arm. 'You're just really nice.'
She's quiet for a minute, and the radio is the only thing I can hear.
'I don't like being mean to them, but they listen when I am. You know, one time I was fired because I "didn't have a heart". It wasn't pretty.' The blonde says after a long pause. 'You have a heart, Charlotte. You care about people, I've seen it.' I place my hand on hers as she parks the car.
'You go in first.' She says coldly. I glance over, and the Charlotte I've been with all morning is gone. She's replaced by an empty shell of a woman.
————————————————————————
'Dr. King.' I greet Charlotte as she walks through the doors, less than five minutes after me. 'L/n.' She walks past me and I sigh.
'What a bitch.' Amelia nudges me. 'Don't call her that.' I snap without thinking. 'What, is she behind me?' Amelia laughs. 'She's not a bitch, she's just the boss.' I turn and walk away from Amelia, chasing after Charlotte.
'Dr. King!' I eventually catch up with her. 'I need to talk to you about... brains.' I land on. 'Brains?' She questions. 'Just-' I grab her wrist and pull her into her office.
I lock the door behind us and pull the blinds down. 'What happened?' I ask. 'You went so cold when we got here.' She rolls her eyes and turns around. 'Charlotte-'
'Don't call me Charlotte. Im your boss, it's Dr. King.' She interrupts me. 'I'm going to call you Charlotte, and I expect you to call me Y/n. Now tell me what happened.' I step closer to her. 'I like you, Y/n. A lot. But Im your boss. It's a major violation.' She sits down on the couch and I follow her.
'Not if we don't tell anyone.' I suggest.
'What?' She turns to face me. 'If we just kept it a secret, and we told HR in a few months time. If it was just us for a little while.'
'I cant do that. It's lying.' She says. 'There's a difference between lying and not telling. Just think about it.' I stand to leave, but Charlotte says something before I can go.
'I'm done thinking.' I turn around and suddenly her lips are on mine. When I pull away I see a smile on her face.
————————————————————————
When I leave her office my hair is messy and my makeup is a little smudged, but I'm smiling. I walk into the kitchen, where I see Cooper and Violet chatting.
I greet them both and open the fridge, looking for the sandwich I stashed the day before.
'Are you looking for a sandwich? I ate it. Sorry.' Cooper says. I throw a plastic spoon at him and he puts his hands up in defense.
'What happened to your hair?' Violet points out the tangles at the back. 'Nothing, I just didn't have time to brush it this morning. I woke up late.' I grab an apple from the fruit bowl and bite into it.
'Hi there!' Charlotte says cheerily, her heels clacking against the wooden floor. Violet and Cooper exchange a look of uncertainty. 'Hi!' I respond. She smiles at me and makes a cup of coffee for herself.
'Hang on a minute.' Cooper says. 'You're wearing Y/n's coat!' I look down and see Dr. Charlotte King plastered on the coat Im wearing. 'Oh, we had a surgery together. Must've gotten them mixed up.' Charlotte quickly takes mine off and hands it back to me. I do the same. 'Anyway, I have a consult.' I watch as she walks away.
'You just checked Charlotte out.' Violet says blankly. 'I did not!' I object, leaving the room to hide my giggles.
a/n finally a charlotte one i'm sorry it took so long yall
