Being in love with my stepbrother

Chapter 13

Samuel's POV

- Oh, um, no, this is Caroline, we're just really close. - I say blushing, how come that doesn't seem so weird, Caroline...and I. The doctor smiles at us both.

- Okay, your paper work checks out, we'll give you some painkillers, pop your shoulder back in, and in about 2 days, you should go to the physio to get it checked on there. - says the doctor, looking at a sheet of paper on a clipboard. - And this says you're also due for a MRI scan, is that right? - Questions the doctor. I nod.

- Yep. - I reply.

- Well we will do that before we give you any painkillers. - says the doctor. The doctor leaves the room, the young nurse from before walking in, looking at my body.

- This way to the MRI room. - she smiles, walking over to me, - Do you need a hand? - She asks seductively, feeling up my chest as she helps me up. I can see Caroline glaring as she follows, is she jealous?

We walk to the MRI room, I sit down and wait for the scan to begin, Caroline standing next to me.

-Okay, so how long have you been waiting for a pacemaker? - Asks an older nurse, ushering away the younger nurse, who winks at me on her way out of the room. Caroline looks at me worried.

- 3 months. - I answer. The nurse write something on the sheet of paper on her clipboard.

-Okay, so depending on whether your heart is stable, improving or deteriorating, you will be placed on a waiting list, every six months you'll be reassessed to check the condition of your heart, do you understand? - Says the nurse.

- Yep. - I reply.

- Good, I'll go type this up then we'll start the scan. - smiles the nurse.

I turn to Caroline, she's slightly pale, and I can tell she's scared.

- Why do you need a pacemaker? - She asks softly. I place my hand on her leg.

- I inherited a rare type of heart disease from my father, it's what killed him, basically, my heart doesn't keep up, it only pumps blood at one constant pace, whether it will be fast or slow. My dad's heart beat was too slow, so he got a pacemaker, but then after 12 years, I was only 3 at the time...Dad, Xander and I, were all playing in the backyard, mum was at work, and Dad said his chest was sore. - I pause, gulping back my emotions. - And then, he started getting short of breath, but kept playing with us, Xander and I tried to tackle him, we jumped on him and he fell, we thought he was playing. - I continue, pausing a tear rolls down my cheek, I sniff and clear my throat. - But it turns out his pacemaker failed, he died right in front of us. We sat there for over 6 hours, until mum came home. - I explain, my eyes red, tears streaming down numerously.

Caroline's POV

My emotions was all over the place. He needs a pacemaker? Then he told me he inherited this disease from his father? His father died in front of him and Xander?

He was crying and I can feel a tear slide down on my cheek he brushed it over with his thumb.
I went to him and hugged him. I don't care if I show I am attracted to him or I wish he can hug me back properly.

Then I snapped at him.
- You idiot. You shouldn't drink alcohol then!! - I hit his good shoulder and I can feel his palm on my back. He chuckled and I can feel his breath on my neck.

We are too close way too close. I brushed my face with my palm and sigh and stepped back again when the slutty nurse came back to tell me to go out from the MRI room. I wanted to slap her. I widened my eyes when she touched him again.

Why am I jealous?

All right this is, this is gonna be the most bold thing I ever do.

I shoved away the nurse and kissed him. He was surprised but he quickly recovered and kissed me back. It was like thousands of butterflies are fly in my stomach. Our tongues touched and the world stopped moving.

I didn't give him any chance to even question my actions and I put my hand on his lips and tell him.

- This kiss won't happen again.- And I run out from the room.

Samuel's POV

- What? - I gasp, touching where our lips met, Caroline just kissed me. - Sorry about her, she's not coping very well with this. - I say apologetically to the nurse. She just shrugs it off.

- Please, lye down and remove your shirt and any metal objects. - she says, smiling widely. I take my shirt off, throwing it to the ground and lying down. The nurse walks over, touching my pecs as she does up the straps around my chest. - Now, this will take awhile, but if you get scared I finish at 2:00, we can talk about it then if you'd like...at my place. - she whispers seductively. I smile back politely, although I had no interest in this woman. My mind was preoccupied, why had Caroline just kissed me?

I lye waiting, as the MRI whirs and scans my chest. Once it's finished I'm unstrapped by the same nurse as before, now she's drooling over me even more, being incredibly flirting, her body admittedly somehow complemented by her nurse uniform.

- Okay, we'll give you a phone call in a couple of hours with your results. -  she says formally - and with my address. - she whispers, her fingers touching and lingering on my thigh.

I walk out from the MRI room, to the emergency again, where I'm given a needle, and my shoulder popped back into place by a nurse I hadn't met before.

It hurts to have my shoulder put back in, at least I can move my arm now, although it still hurts. I'm led back to the waiting area, where I see Caroline glaring into a magazine.

I walk up to her, without her looking at me once. I sit down, placing my hand on her leg.

- Listen, I don't know why you kissed me back there, but thank you, it helped to keep that nurse off me for a bit, and it was actually a lot better than the ones I got last night.. - I smile. Caroline looks at me, a blank expression on her face.

- How was your MRI? - She asks. - I'll find out in a few hours. - I reply. Caroline stands up, holding out my keys.

- Are you right to drive? - She asks.

- Nope. - I reply, Caroline looks at me confused.

-Why not? -She questions. I quickly place my hands on her cheek and kiss her like she kissed me back in the MRI room. Quickly she kisses me back, I place my hands on her waist and break our kiss.

- Because I hadn't done that yet, let's go. - I smile, laughing as I walk away.
