HOT yet COLD

Contemporary

In the wet suit, again I feel uneasy. I walk out onto the wharf and see the ambulance here. They were taking out the boy from the building in a stretch bed. The Captain saw me and said something to the paramedics to make them look over at me. I walk to them and one of the men says to me, "you should have been in the medical area miss Blades but I can see that you already have a job. Good work with the medical stuff, keep up with it and if you ever think of getting another job, you can come to us. Thank you for stabilizing the child." "You're welcome." I said and turned to find the doctor waiting for me inside the cage. I walk over to him and step inside the cage. "Same routine as last nights?" I asked him. "Yeah pretty much the same thing as last nights." He said looking at me in a funny way. We put on our goggles and they dropped us in. once under the water line we started sinking this time it was only the doctor and me in the cage. The doctor moved in front of me and turned his head to look at me. He opened the cage door once it stopped going. We did the same thing as last night only this time there were less holes and more loose screws. When we were done and were coming out of the water the doctor moved closer to me then he usually did. We were out of the water and he took off his breathing mask, I followed him. "Are you free today in the afternoon?" I looked at him for a second. "I'm free the whole day but I need to catch up on my sleep so... yeah I'll be free in the afternoon. Why are you asking?" "I was thinking of taking you out on a date." I was shocked when he said that. I opened the cage door and walked out but he followed me. "I'm serious. We were in primary together have you forgotten." "Nope, you were the kid who used to bring all these sort of sea creatures to class, of course I remember you." I said I was scared and I didn't want to show it. I kept walking towards the building. I read the time on my watch it was already eight o'clock. "Look I need to go home now." I said turning my whole body around only to get myself tangled in the arms of the doctor. I looked away to find Vincent looking over at us. Biff was standing near him watching too. "Fine if you want to take me out on a date at least try to keep me away from that one over there." I said pointing to Biff. "Easy when do you start work again?" he said smiling at me. "Turn my back towards them then I'll tell you." I said and he did without fuss. "Tonight at eight." I said. "I start at the same time too." He said and drove his hand down my spine all the way to my tailbone and back up. "I'm in luck. So what time do you want to take me out?" I said calmly. To be honest I didn't like the way he touched me but I liked the way he looked at me. He looked angry and then he looked happy. It was as if he was fighting to stay happy in front of me. "What about five o'clock. That way you can catch up on your sleep and do what you have to after that." "Sounds good to me." "So it's a date?" he asked. "Yep." He bent down a little and roughly kissed me on the lips. At least it was short. "See ya later then?" I nodded my head in agreement. We went our separate ways.
