Lauren sat down at her desk in the consultant office that she shared with you. The pair of you were doctors on the trauma unit at Holby City hospital.

You were running a tad late, so you quickly closed your car door and rushed through the hospital car park.

"Good morning Dr" one of the resident nurses greeted with a smile.

You where well known in the hospital and well respected, so everyone tried to make their best impression.

"Hi Taylor!"..."sorry I have to rush I'm running slightly late."

The nurse smiled in understanding and then went about her own business. You debated whether to grab some coffee from the canteen and then remembered that Dr Jauregui could not function without it.

You chuckled to yourself, your mind going to the brunette professional. She could not function without at least 4 cups before her day started.

Deciding that you were already late anyway, you headed to the hospital cafe. You greeted the woman behind the counter with a smile.

"Doctor y/l/n, what can I get for you?"

"hello can I have my usual please, and Doctor Jauregui's usual too."

"Sure, coming up."

*******

You payed for the coffee's with a smile and told the girl to keep the change. Then, you rushed to the elevator.

"Hold the doors!" You exclaimed, watching as they began to close.

One of the nurses held out his hand and you rushed into the small space.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome Doctor y/l/n."

You nodded gratefully, then the surroundings fell quiet, as everyone waited to reach their correct floor.

******

When the doors slid apart, you were the first to exit and to walk down the corridor. Rushing to the trauma unit, your bag was slung over your shoulder and you had a tight grasp on the coffee cups.

You pushed the double doors open and entered the busy ward, seeing the usual colleagues rushing around.

Pretty much as soon as you entered the department, you were greeted by many different voices.

"Good morning Dr Y/l/n!"..."Hello Doctor!"

You nodded and smiled at the many faces whilst heading to your shared office.

Opening the door, you were greeted by your colleague and friend Doctor Jauregui. She was sat staring at her computer screen, clearly lost in her busy thoughts.

The brunette looked up, pen in her mouth, then instantly smiled when she realised it was you.

"Good morning!" She greeted, making you grin.

"Hello Laur, I brought you coffee."

"Thankyou! Thank You so much!" She gushed, immediately taking the coffee from your hands.

"Thats okay, its only coffee." You joked, watching as she gulped it down.

"Y/n, it has already been so busy here." She complained, slumping down in her chair, clearly stressed out.

You gently placed your coat over the back of your chair, and walked closer to her, taking both of her hands in yours.

The pair of you were always close, however you were developing feelings that were more than friendly for her. Little did you know, she felt completely the same way, so when your hands touched you both felt butterflies.

"It just turned 8am." You told her with a laugh.

"Yeah, exactly my issue!"

You helped her out of her chair and giggled as she downed the coffee in her cup. Shaking your head, you walked out of the office with her following.

"Come on Doctor Jauregui, let's go save lives."

*********

"Oh I think that nurse is eyeing you up y/l/n." One of your best friends, Rav, joked as you leant against the assessment desk.

You lifted your head from one of your patients notes file, and turned to see the young nurse who was staring at you.

Rav, another doctor, was chuckling at you, however Lauren wasn't too impressed. You could have sworn that you heard her groan from her place behind the desk. She was researching something on the computer, but she looked up to eye the nurse who was looking at you.

Just as you turned your attention back to the brunette, you heard the double doors of the unit fly open and the medics rush in. They were pushing a gurney and you immediately rushed to their side.

Lauren also jumped up, and walked to the front of the desk, instinctively placing her hand on your shoulder. You held back a grin, and then turned your attention to the paramedics.

"Trauma patient."..."25 year old male."..."gunshot wound to the abdomen and the bullet is embedded." The medic explained efficiently and you nodded, quickly scribbling the information on a clipboard.

"Okay thank you."..."let's get him straight to the operating theatre please." You instructed.

The nurses nodded in response, following the medics to the operating theatres. You turned to Lauren, before speaking up again.

"Doctor Jauregui, can I have your assistance please? I am going to need your expertise." You asked.

The professional nodded, "Yes of course."

"Perfect." You replied with a smile, then you both ran to follow your team of professionals. "Let's go guys."
