Part 10

Part 10

 *Amelia’s point of view*

 I opened the door to my flat once Aston was out of sight and strolled in like I was walking on cloud nine. Today had put me in such a good mood, nothing could bring me down.

 Throwing my bag on the couch and taking my shoes off, I noticed my answer machine was flashing showing I had a new message.

‘Hey…haven’t rang your mobile as I didn’t want to disturb your coffee date…but call me as soon as you get this…I want to know how it went!’ Sara said excitably

 Giggling to myself I got my phone out of my bag and lay on the couch dialling Sara’s number….

‘Hi!’ she shouted down the phone

‘Hey…’ I laughed

‘So…how did it go? What did he say? What did you say? Was he flirting again?’

 ‘Wow…wow…wow is this 20 questions or what…’ I laughed

‘Sorry…just excited to know…’ she laughed ‘hang on a sec….why have you left it this long to call me? I thought you were meeting him at like lunch time….’

 ‘what are you my mother…’ I laughed

‘Tell me woman…’

 ‘ok ok…’ I giggled hysterically ‘Well we went for the coffee which was really nice and just talked for hours in there…then we decided to go for a meal too…’

 ‘So it was like a proper date!’

 ‘No not really…were just friends…he’s really nice…’

 ‘Ok whatever…we’ll see in a few months…’

 ‘Sara seriously…nothings going on….trust me…ive only met him on 3 different occasions…’

 ‘four actually…’ she laughed

‘whatever…’

 ‘so when are you seeing him again?’

 ‘Don’t know…he said he’ll text me…’ I smiled to myself

‘this is sounding very positive’

We talked for a little longer on the phone until Sara needed to go, that girl could talk me to death, but what she was saying was really confusing me, maybe Aston did like me more than a friend, I just couldn’t tell, and I didn’t want to start believing he did in case I was completely wrong.

*3 days later*

‘Delivery for Amelia’ my mentor smiled passing me a bouquet of flowers

‘oh my god…where are these from?’ I smiled taken back

‘No idea…read the card…’ she answered ‘the porter just brought it up…’

 ‘oh…’ I smiled turning the bouquet sideways so I could read the card

 *Just wanted to thankyou for Friday…I had a really good time and I hope you did too, Ast x*

‘Oh my god…’ I breathed

‘What?...who are they from?’ she asked

‘There from Aston…’ I said

‘What? As in Aston Aston?’

 ‘Yeah…’ I laughed

 I stood just admiring the flowers for a minute before I went into the staff lounge to find a vase for them, coming across Sara who asked who they were from, she soon gave me the ‘I told you so’ look but I wasn’t going to believe her just yet, first I was going to text Aston and thank him, that’s the nicest thing any boy has ever done for me and I wanted to cherish them

*1 month later*

'Amelia bed six needs obs….now!’ called my mentor

‘Ok…’ I rushed

‘Amelia do you have those blood test results back yet?’ asked another work mate

‘On the desk!’ I answered

‘Amelia…bed 12 needs to be taken down a mri scan…’

 ‘Ok…I’ll do it after these obs…’

I literally had not stopped today…it was now 4pm, I’d been here since 7.30am and hadn’t had a chance to have a break yet. I guess it was better to be busy than bored, but when the ward was this short staffed it was just crazy.

 *6pm…*

‘Amelia…you coming for your break….you haven’t stopped today?’ Sara smiled

‘tell me about it…’ I sighed ‘and yes please!’

I don’t think ive ever escaped as ward so fast as I did then, I loved my job but today I was absolutely exhausted, the last of three long shifts and I was definitely ready to sleep for a million years.

‘So…have you seen Aston recently?’ Sara asked as we queued up in the staff canteen

‘I saw him last night…we just went out for a few drinks with some of his friends…’ I smiled

‘a few?’

 ‘ok I got totally wasted..’ I laughed

‘that’s more like it….’

 ‘yeah it was fun….’

 ‘fun?’ she said raising an eyebrow

‘not like that…..’ I laughed ‘were friends…’ I said whilst getting my phone out of my bag

‘text from him…?’

 ‘Yes….why?’ I laughed

‘no reason…’ she said moving forward in the queue as I read the text

 *Hey…what are you up to tonight? Ast x* Sent 1pm*

 *Hey…sorry didn’t reply sooner, only just got the text, only just got my break! And im not doing anything, just chilling, why? X*

 *im thinking movie night?...i got some popcorn in specially? :P* I read laughing to myself

 *Well then how could I resist? :P*

*Exactly…be at mine say 9ish?*

 *Sure : D*

 I didn’t know what it was about him, but he almost gave me a source of energy, I was absolutely shattered already and my shift didn’t finish for another four hours, but at the same day I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity for a movie night with Ast…

*Astons point of view*

 Id thought about this all day and I was running out of time, in some ways I really did want to take our relationship to the next level…but I didn’t want to ask her straight…I needed to try and disguise it as well as possible…we’d suddenly become so close so quickly…but did she want to be more than friends??

More? :)
