13) Paramedic Imagine

Hey everyone! I decided I wanted to do one of my own ideas and make it a paramedic one because my last one was liked so much by you all!

Charlotte POV
Today was like any other day, I got up, showered, got dressed, and went to work. I have always hated breakfast so I skipped it and told myself I would buy something at the shop.

I worked at a little cafe in the mornings and took my classes at night. I was 22 years old so yes, I was still in college. I was studying business to become a lawyer but I needed money for tuition so I had to get a job.

I had arrived at the cafe, greeting my coworker and getting my uniform on before starting to clean the tables.

Five hours in, I had started to feel a little woozy. I had been taking orders all day long and hadn't had a chance to get off of my feet yet. I knew it was because I hadn't eaten anything but I was pulled to another table before I could do anything about it. I need a fucking break!

Ding!

In walked two very handsome men in uniforms. I greeted them both and they gave me a small smile. I looked a little closer and realized they were paramedics. Also seeing the red and white ambulance outside, I pieced together that they were on duty, probably taking a small break. At least they get a break.

They sat down in a booth and I grabbed my notepad, slowly making my way over to them.

"Hello, my name is Charlotte and I will be serving you today. Can I start you off with some drinks?" I asked with a smile, repeating the same thing I have already said a million times today.

"Hi, yes I would like a coffee with a double shot of espresso" the blonde haired one said while looking up at me.

I nodded but in that moment I felt a dizzy spell take over me. I felt myself sway as I attempted to steady myself. Shit I feel nauseous.

The brown haired one quickly stood up and held me by my shoulders, successfully bringing me back to reality. His eyes are pretty.

"Woah there miss. Are you alright? You looked like you were about to faint" he asked, concern apparent on his face.

"Oh yeah, um I'm fine, thanks. Just got a little dizzy is all. I'll be fine. Now, what would you like to drink?" I asked, quickly changing the topic.

"You don't look like you're fine. Why don't you come out to our ambulance and we can check you over?" The brown haired paramedic suggested.

Oh no you don't. No way am I being 'checked over'.

"No I will be fine, but thank you for worrying" I quickly respond. I don't need this right now.

The blonde haired one stood up with us, crossing his arms over his chest. He looks ready to argue.

"Free of charge, we swear. All we need of you is some time. We would never hurt you, if that's what your thinking" he informed me.

"No, it's not that, I just can't take a break right now, I'll be fine" I lie, doubting I sounded convincing.

The brown haired one had a determined look on his face and walked away from us. Where is he going?

"What's your name?" I asked.

"I'm Kai, and the guy that just walked away from us is Nathan" he answered.

Nathan came back, a smirk plastered on his face. "Your boss said you can take a break. Now, come with us so we can help you. And that isn't an order."

Knowing they weren't going to let up, I let out a sigh. "Fine. But only ten minutes. How did you get her to agree?" I asked, curious. I mean, she disliked me so I was quite surprised.

He let out a breathless laugh. "I can be very convincing."

I shook my head but followed them outside nonetheless. They opened up the big doors to the ambulance and helped me in. I sat on the white bed they had and waited for them to get what they needed. It was a small space so they were reaching over me but it gave me a chance to chill the fuck out.

"Okay Charlotte, when did you start feeling dizzy?" Kai asked me.

"Umm about an hour before I meet you guys."

"Do you have any medical conditions we should know about? Diabetes or anything we should be aware of?" Nathan asked.

"No I don't."

"Okay what did you eat this morning?" Kai asked.

They were both sitting on either side of me so I kept having to turn my head back and forth with all the questions.

Feeling guilty, I answered his question. "I didn't eat anything. I was planning on getting something at the cafe but I got pulled straight to work as soon as I got there."

"Ahh that's why. So I'm assuming you haven't had anything to drink either?" Kai asked.

"No" I responded, my head held low in shame.

"Hey it's nothing to be ashamed of, we all have skipped breakfast before. You just needed a break but you never got one" Kai said, using two fingers to lift up my head.

I blushed like crazy. He looked at me like he really cared. Then Nathan ruined the moment.

"Okay well we still have to check you over so can you give me your wrist please?" Nathan asked, that same stupid smirk on his dumb face.

I huffed but held out my arm, which he held, looking at his watch. At the same time, Kai grabbed a stethoscope and put it on my chest, giving me an apologetic look when I shivered because of the cold metal.

"Pulse is a little weak, how's her breathing?" Nathan said, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Breathing's good, a little labored" Kai answered.

"I'm putting her on 6 liters of O2. What's her BP?" Nathan said.

He put a plastic tube around my nose while Kai put the blood pressure cuff on my arm.

"BP is 110/70" Kai blurted out.

I stayed still through all of it, knowing they would get done faster.

"Okay beautiful, you are all set, but promise us you are taking a break to eat. We don't want to be back here with a call saying that you fainted" Kai said sternly, giving me a look.

"I promise. Thanks for everything guys. I owe you."

"No problem. Take care okay?" Nathan responded.

I nodded and they let me out, watching me go back to the cafe.

I had put my hands in my pockets when I felt a piece of paper. I pulled it out and saw a number along with Kai's name. I blushed...I would definitely call him later.

I took my break, as promised, and went on with the rest of my day.

Thankfully, I never passed out, but I wouldn't have minded if they visited again;)

Hope you all liked it!
