The Complaint -COMPLETED

eighteen

Connie was left sitting in her office looking back on the day's events, she had been with Jacob since but he was now sleeping so she decided she needed her rest herself. This had to be a sign, she thought to herself, the moment I begin to feel happy something has to ruin it; this was her fault, she hadn't shown him the attention he deserved and now he's running off getting himself in all sorts of trouble with the paramedics.
'Your thoughts will get you into trouble one day.'
Connie was startled as Charlie appeared standing at her door.
'Charlie you scared me, and what do you mean?'
'Connie I've known you long enough to know your blaming yourself for what happened today, you know it's not your fault right?'
'Charlie it is, why can't I just be happy and allow myself to be happy?'
Connie began to cry as Charlie came around to hug her, her door was open drawing the attention of staff members passing by.
'shhh, Connie you are the strongest woman I know, your like a daughter to me and I can tell you that Jacob is the one for you. What happened today was an accident, you can't control how the world works. But you can try to control your happiness, so come on you shouldn't be sitting here crying you should be out there with him.'
Charlie held onto Connie's hand as she walked out of her office.
'Thank you Charlie, and you really think he's the one?'
Connie said enveloping him into a hug.
'Yes definitely, I knew before you even had to tell me.'
Charlie said as he walked away smiling, Connie was left by herself standing outside her office as Robyn passed her,
'Oh Mrs Beauchamp how's Jacob?'
'He's better Nurse Miller thank you for asking, I'm off now to see him if you would like to join me?'
'Yes that would be nice, thank you.'
'So are two like an item now?'
'Well yes Nurse Miller we are, but I would appreciate my private not being on the front page of Holby News.'
'No it's fine Mrs Beauchamp, but I'm happy for you, both of you!'
Connie began to walk into Jacobs room smiling at what Robyn had said until she heard..
'Besides that's a tenner Lofty owes me.'
Connie turned around giving Robyn a death glare, as she weakly smiled trying to make light of her previous comment.
'Aww look who it is two of my favourite ladies!'
Jacob said as he began to sit up, a smile spread across his face as he saw Connie.
'Such a charmer, afternoon how you feeling?'
Connie said in response as she began reading through his notes.
'All the better now that I've seen your gorgeous face,'
'I see they've still got you in morphine.'
Connie said as she heard Robyn giggle behind her.
'Hiya Jacob! I just came to check you were okay?'
Robyn said as she stepped next to him.
'This is from everyone, with a bit of help from Mrs Beauchamp.'
Robyn handed Jacob a card with everyone's name inside, then handed him the neatly wrapped present. He opened the card smiling, then opened the present and he immediately was shocked, they'd all chipped in and bought him a tablet, he knew that Connie must have put a substantial amount in.
'We all put some money in, some more than others but we all helped out...'
Robyn said as she raised her eyes to look at Connie,
'Yes and don't worry about your shifts they're covered for the next four weeks.'
'Sweet cheeks you shouldn't have.'
Jacob smirked at her,
'Well I would rather you be playing on that thing than annoy my nursing staff every two minutes.'
'Me annoy? never?'
Jacob said trying to sound shocked, Robyn shared the joke with him and began to laugh.
'Well Jacob I'll see you later get well soon!'
Robyn said as she walked out of the room.
'Now do I get a proper thank you?'
Connie said leaning down as her lips latched onto Jacobs.
After sitting peacefully together on Jacobs bed for an hour Connie noticed him beginning to get tired.
'Right muscles, get some sleep, I'm staying here tonight anyway, so I'll see you in a bit.'
'Alright sweet cheeks, see you in a bit,'
Connie gently kisses him as she got up to walk out.
'Oh and Connie?'
'Yeah?'
'I love you.'
'I love you more!'
Connie responded as she walked out of his room with a smile on her face.
