His Nanny

17. Guy talk

His lips are softer than I expected but the taste is something I know I would become addicted to. It took me a couple of seconds to respond to the kiss but when I finally start to move my lips with his, it's beyond expectation.

The amount of times we came close to this and didn't get to feel it makes me regret pulling away each time.

With one of his hands on the door behind me, he snakes the other around the back of my waist and pulls me closer. I feel my coat fall open as both of our chests press against each other and my knees weaken at the feel of him. I slide my hands up his chest and take my time in feeling every bit of muscle. I've wanted to do this for so long.

I find myself getting lost in the kiss. He's being very soft and delicate but I appreciate it more than if he deepened the kiss.

As we both pull away, I open my eyes to look into his beautiful brown, smouldering eyes. They hold so many questions, so many secrets of their own and yet I see them soften as they look at me.

This man could be my saviour or a demon sent to test me but I can't bring myself to turn away from him.

With a small gap placed between us, we continue to look into each other's eyes. It's like the whole world has stopped and there's only us. There's no pain, no suffering, just the purity of a moment when one person finds something in someone else.

I close my eyes and smile a heart warming smile to Adam before leaning forward and placing a small peck onto his cheek. Lingering there a little longer than I should have.

"Thank you for a lovely date. Goodnight Dr Ross."

He smirks at my comment and winks before turning on his heel back to his car. I watch as he drives away and then I walk into my little bungalow, smiling like a teenager on her first date.

So he does want to date me? Or he at least wanted this to be a date, a real date.

When I wake up the next morning I can't help but smile. I'm definitely in a good mood. I feel ten times lighter and I'm just waiting for all the animals to stars singing like they do in a Disney film.

After a hot shower and some breakfast, it's not long before I'm on my way back to the hospital. I definitely feel like a homeless person in my T-shirt and skinny jeans in comparison to my sexy dress last night. I let my hair fall freely in its natural waves, I feel like I'm going to need to hide behind it at some point. I still need Adam to check my stitches as well. I've been very careful with them so I hope my heads healing nicely.

I knew Adam was off work today. Because they asked him to work a little yesterday, they gave him today as a thank you. I actually haven't seen him take a day off yet so it was nice to know that he and Elsie would be enjoying some quality time together.

When I get to my mothers bedside it's nearly ten in the morning. I was chipper today and a lot earlier than I normally am. She beams at me and I smile straight back at her.

"Someone's happy today? Does this have anything to do with your date?"

I raise an eyebrow at her in surprise.

"How in the world do you know about that when you're in a hospital bed?"

She laughs but then shows me her phone and I already know that my cousin and Jason are going to get it when I see them next.

"So...my doctor huh?" I look down feeling embarrassed that she's in here having all this done to her and out of it, I found someone I like. That's so twisted. I shouldn't even be thinking about a guy when my poor mum is here like this.
