The notes were read through at least 5 times, her mind just couldn't focus. Connie stood at the end of the patient's bed, trying to take in the writing on the clipboard.
"Mrs. Beauchamp? Have you finished?" Asked Dr. Hardy, frowning slightly. Connie only ever scanned the notes a couple of times before knowing what was wrong.
"Just a minute!" She snapped, before finally giving up, hanging the notes on the end of the bed. "I'm not sure, let me find Dr. Keogh, but your probably correct, I mean the symptoms add up." If her mind hadn't been constantly thinking of Jacob then she would've solved this task with in a couple of minute, but she simply couldn't think straight as much as she wished she could.
The brick wall was cool against his back as he leant against it outside. He should be in there chasing after her, begging for forgiveness, but he knew that it was far too soon and Connie would only give him the cold shoulder.
Jacob let his hand slide across his abdomen to hold his side, not caring anymore. The pain was constant and irritating. Every breath was agonising, but he didn't let it show, putting on his face of steel and walking back into the hospital.
Connie walked towards the exit of the ED, needing a break. Just as she neared the door, Jacob turned into the ED. He removed his hand from his side, instantly. She pretended that she hadn't noticed him, keeping her head down and continuing to walk. It was killing her inside. Knowing that the man she loved was in pain, but nevertheless she was the one being pushed away.
"Connie" Jacob held her arm, causing her to turn around. Their eyes connected with each other's, feeling the others pain.
"Let go of my arm Jacob." She removed her eyes off of his, focusing on a poster behind him.
"Please Connie, can't we talk about this?" He asked gently.
"There's nothing to talk about." She shrugged her arm out of his grip and walked out of the hospital. Jacob couldn't let her go like this, chasing after her outside.
"Im sorry, sweet cheeks. I've been an absolute dick today and I've treated you so badly. But you've made me see sense now, that sometimes you need to admit that everyone needs some help." Connie carried on walking, not quite sure where she was taking herself, but Jacob continued to follow her. "I love you Connie Beauchamp, and I'm not going to stop making it up to you." Walking at this pace was only increasing the pain coming from his side.
"Please, can't you even look at me?" Connie stopped walking and turned to face him. "Your the most amazing woman I know, and will ever know and it breaks my heart to think that I upset you. Please forgive me." Jacob winced slightly, grabbing his side.
"Jacob? Jacob, have you been in pain all this time?" Annoyance suddenly turned to worry, as Connie grabbed onto his arm.
"Kind of, but It's-"
"No your not fine. Come on, let me take a look at it inside." Jacob just smirked. "What?" She frowned, what was so funny?
"Ok, but I'm only going if you say that you forgive me."
Connie sighed, rolling her eyes. "Alright, I forgive you."
"And do I get a kiss?" Connie smirked slightly at his adorable question.
"Now that's pushing your luck, but maybe if you come inside."
"Deal." They both smiled at each other before heading back into the ED.
Connie opened the curtains to an empty cubicle, gesturing for Jacob to go in with her head. She pulled the curtains tightly behind her.
"Sit." Jacob did as he was told, taking a seat on the bed. "Don't tell me your going to make me take your top off."
"That depends... I know you want to." He winked. Connie bit her bottom lip.
"Will you just hurry up staff nurse Masters." Jacob laughed at her bossiness.
"Alright, alright, any opportunity to see my bare torso." He began to take his top off, wincing at the slight movement.
"Don't flatter yourself Mr. Masters." She pulled on a pair of gloves. Jacob watched her concentrate, whilst she pulled off the dressing on the wound. Underneath, a bloody slit ran down his side being held together by 8 stitches.
"Have you been taking the medication?"
"Oh, I was, but I keep forgetting." Jacob didn't take his eyes off hers once, as they studied his wound.
Connie shook her head. "Jacob, your a nurse you should know that it's important to take the painkillers regularly and at the right times." She began to clean the wound a bit.
"I'm sorry Doc."
"Is it still hurting now?" She finished re-dressing the wound and looked up at him.
"Not anymore. Your the best medicine any guy could need." He whispered, in a sexy tone. Connie couldn't stop the blush that came to her cheeks. Jacob had that way with word that made her stomach flutter with butterflies and make her lips crave his.
Jacob wanted so much to make it up to her, properly though. He had to take a risk and that's exactly what he did.
He bent down, his lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly—and still that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole body tremble. "If you want me to stop, tell me now," he whispered. When she still said nothing, he brushed his mouth against the hollow of her temple. "Or now." He traced the line of her cheekbone. "Or now." His lips were against hers.
"Or—"
But she had reached down and pulled him in to her, and the rest of his words were lost against her mouth. He kissed her gently, carefully, but it wasn't gentleness she wanted, not now, not after all this time, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him harder against her. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her, gathering her against him, and they fell backwards on the bed, tangled together, still kissing. Both completely forgetting the time or place. Connie couldn't stay mad at him forever, losing herself in the kiss. Jacob was taken by surprise at Connie's reaction, but he wasn't complaining.
Their tongues fluttered inside of each other's mouths, enjoying every second that they spent together. How long will the beautiful moment last though?
