Linoleum Roses Act III

"So Mrs. George,because of the structure of your pelvis, will have to do an emergency C-Section surgery. While doing the C-Section we will avoid hurting the fetus' spine,which will result in a neck brace for three years,and possibly,death. However,we can not oblige you to have the C-Section. We need to know within twenty four hours to prepare the room for you."

"You're like really pretty."

"Thank you?"

"So you agree. You think you're pretty." She replies,hand on her stomach. She looks at her husband. "I want my boob job to look like hers. What do you think,boo?" The man was very uncomfortable and so was Serena.

"If you need anything,don't hesitate to press the red button for assistance." Serena informs,practically running away from the couple who were in an accident and into the employee's locker-room .

"Finally." A fellow resident,Paige Sixino,sighs. It was lunch time. "See you in the cafeteria?"

"Not today. I have a mandatory consult with one of my patients."   Serena partially lied. It wasn't 'mandatory' and it technically wasn't a consult but Zayn Malik was a patient.

"That sucks. Have fun." Paige says sarcastically.

"I will. Bye,P."

"Middle name."

"Beyoncé."

"Favorite color."

"Javadd."

The alarm on her phone rings-signaling that Zayn's ten minutes were up.

"You didn't answer fifty! I win!" Serena laughs triumphantly,clapping her hands excitedly.

"You won fair and square..ask. You have three questions."

"What triggered your PSTD?"

"You're very subtle." Zayn says sarcastically.

"I only have five more minutes until I have a surgery so commence."

"I was..my uncle he-he-I.."

"You don't have to continue. I'm sorry I forced you." Serena says. Zayn's eyes were glossy as he continued to process the story in his mind. Serena took his hand,giving it a reassuring squeeze-ignoring the burning sensation she felt when they touched. It was odd. Zayn didn't feel like flinching or pushing her away as he did others. He felt completely and totally comfortable with her. It was strange. He wouldn't even let his mother touch him yet he allowed the beautiful girl with a broken smile to.

They stared at each other,neither daring to say anything. Zayn's face neared hers-slowly inching forward. Serena found herself doing the same. It was as if they were magnetic; the attraction equally felt.

A buzzing sound came from Serena's pocket,signaling a patient needed her.

"I have to go."

"You have two more questions."   

"There's always tomorrow." She replies quickly,leaving the blue room.

"How was your day?" Her boyfriend asked,eating the Chinese food with chop sticks.

"Good. You?"

"I missed you." He says,kissing her softly. Suddenly, a simple peck resulted into shameless snogging. She felt bad,when she pushed him away. She always did. They had been dating for three years yet she refused to do anything besides kissing. Serena was not a virgin but she wished she was. Her first time was with the wrong guy at the wrong time-a story similar to Zayn's but it was with a babysitter. Ever since that night,she vowed to remain chaste until marriage.

"Um I'm really tired. And I have four surgeries tomorrow so I'm going to sleep. You coming?"

"No..I'm going to Matt's house. Good night Serena."
