Agatha was buried in reports, working in the HR department at the stark industries revealed itself being impossible.
She sighed sipping coffee from her mug while she reads the 567 th report of the day, her concentration broke when she heard her phone buzz, she turned the screen upwards and saw it was her friend Lilia, she accepted the call and brought the phone to her ear, actually feeling relieved to get a small brake,
“hey Lilia what’s up?” Lilia's voice came through the speakers, “hey I’m good, wanna pass by to the hospital? I want you to meet someone”, Agatha frowned, why the hospital in all places?, “why?” Lilia laughed, Agatha could practically hear the smirk on her friend's face, “what can’t see your dying friend at the hospital? Too busy?”, she scoffed rolling her eyes by her friend antics, “I don’t think falling while doing groceries and breaking your hip makes you in risk of death”, she heard a laugh then Lilia just said “just come here”, then she hung up, leaving a really confused Agatha to her reports again.
A few hours later, Agatha finally got out of work and got into her car, she picked her son, Nicholas, from his elementary school and then started driving to the hospital.
She arrived there shortly, grabbed Nicky’s hand and walked inside the building, heading to the reception to ask the room number of Lilia’s room.
Before the nurse could even search it up in the system a loud voice, which was rather familiar to Agatha, called out hers and her son's name,
making everyone in the lounge turn their heads, she sighed and turned around knowing well it was Lilia.
Her friend was in a wheelchair going dangerously fast while being chased by distressed nurses, ”Agatha you made it”, Agatha chuckled to shake off the embarrassment, “how could I miss it?” Nicky hugged the older woman affectionately,
then Lilia looked up and her eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief like she was planning something, “hi doctor Vidal! This is the friend I was talking to you about” she said grinning, pointing her finger at Agatha.
She looked up , meeting the most beautiful deep brown eyes she had ever seen, the woman, the so-called “doctor vidal”, smiled and lent her hand out so Agatha could take it, she was radiating confidence. “Hi, you must be Agatha right? I’m Rio Vidal, Mrs. Calderu doctor”,
Agatha took her hand,
not taking her eyes off of Rio, she smiled back, “nice to meet you, hope you’re taking good care of her”, Rio’s smile widened, “always” she responded, their hands lingering a bit more the necessary, then Rio tourned to Lilia, “Mrs Calderu you should return to your room you have to rest”,
she said motioning one of the nurses nearby to take her back to the room. “Yes but before going back I want to ask you something”, she said dismissing what Rio said about resting, “so Agatha is single and you are too, why don’t you two go on a date?”
Agatha choked on the water she was drinking, almost spitting it all out, she coughed a bit trying to cover her cheeks while they were flaring up. Nicky looked at his mother worried, “mama are you ok? You look a little red, do you have a fever?”
she just waved no with her head still trying to calm her racing heart down, “I’m fine baby don’t worry”, Agatha head snapped up when she heard Rio saying, “I could check you out if you want” the doctor had a teasing smile on her face.
Agatha cleared her throat trying to redeem her composure, she flatted her hair and responded, “no need” and after a few awkward seconds, she continued, “and my son has soccer practice, so we should probably go”,
she grabbed Nicky’s hand and started dragging him out. her son frowned and started saying, “but mama i have practice in a hou-” agatha cut him off putting her hand on his mouth, forcing a smile and walking out.
When they entered the car Agatha slumped her head on the steering wheel, taking a deep breath trying to calm her racing heart down.
At home she started to prepare dinner, while Nicky was doing his homework in his room, her phone rang again making the table vibrate, she checked on it, putting the knife down, stopping chopping the onions. she immediately scoffed as Lilia’s ID popped up on the screen, she chuckled and accepted the call, leaning on the counter with her elbows, “don’t tell me you’re trying to set me up with that handsome doctor again?”
agatha says with a teasing tone, even though her heart raced at the thought of dr. Vidal, her grin fell off as she heard the doctor on the other line.
“You think I'm handsome?” her back straightened immediately and she cleared her throat, her brain racing trying to find an excuse “no i-, not that you’re not, i meant in a way tha, i me-” agatha rambling got cut off by the woman laugh,
“i was joking don't worry Ms. harkness”, agatha felt her cheeks heating up from the embarrassment, and by the way the woman voice sounded when she laughed, it was a bit deeper more throaty, “ok… so is Lilia fine?”
Rio responded immediately, “she’s completely fine, she just insisted i called you on her phone cause you forgot your scarf at the reception” she clarified, “oh…ok i'll come get it tomorrow then”, “sure, goodnight…” There was a bit of a pause, “agatha” the doctor hanged up before she could even replay, not that she thought she would have ever, cause her mouth dried at the way the other woman said her name.
She shook her head, stopping herself from daydreaming, she snapped her head up when she smelled something burning, agatha eyes widened, “the potatoes!”, she runned to the stove and turned it off putting the pan in the sink, she sighed and shook her head softly,
“i’m a lost cause” she glanced at the carbon black potatoes and said in a loud voice so her son could hear her, “baby how does KFC sounds for dinner?” she heard happy squeals in response, she chuckled and started to place the order on her phone.
