I finish off my Sunday by being productive in my studies. I had to push thoughts of Tyler out of my head numerous times in order to focus but I did end up getting a lot done regardless. I am off work for two days which makes me sad. I won't be seeing him when I am not at the hospital. This guy continues to invade my mind and yet I can't stop thinking just how opposite we really are. I know this would never work but he sure makes my dreams much better.
Monday and Tuesday go by fast thankfully. I cleaned the apartment, washed laundry and took Alley to the vet during my time off. Tuesday night I watched some Netflix with Alley and tried to study some more, but I kept finding myself thinking about Tyler, wondering what he is doing? I really don't know what is wrong with me, I don't even know this guy, but he makes me feel so different. He is not the typical guy, maybe that is why he fascinates me so much. I get ready for bed and drift off to sleep with images of him.
Work seems to be going by at a steady pace as I triage people in the ER. I don't understand why people come to the ER for simple things like coughs or sore throats. I continue triaging all these non-emergent patients for the next 2 hours. "Lisa, can you cover triage for a few minutes, I want to go grab a diet coke. I have a headache starting", I look at her with an ouch look. "Sure, can you grab me one too?", she asks with a smile.
As I head down the long hall, I turn left and head to the cafeteria. I grab a couple diet cokes and pay. As I start walking back from the cafeteria and turn down the long hall, I'm startled to see Tyler pushing his friend in a wheel chair going the opposite direction of me. He stops when he sees me, "The doctors just discharged him", he says with a huge grin. He's obviously happy his friend is out of here. I look at his friend and tell him, "I'm really glad that you recovered so well, you look great", I say with a smile. I felt my face sadden at the thought of Tyler not hanging around the hospital anymore. His friend speaks up quickly, "Hey, I heard my guy here was a dick to you. Don't take it personal, he doesn't know how to handle his emotions", he says laughing. Tyler looks at me and smirks, "Yeah yeah... Well we better get going, Axle here has to get ready for the weekend. The guys are throwing him a welcome home party", he says with a grin. I let them know to take it easy as this guy was just shot a little over a week ago and its amazing that he is even out of the hospital. Tyler and Axle both give me a little nod and Tyler start walking away pushing the wheel chair. Wow, those tight jeans look stunning on his... what am I doing, I need to get back to work? Not standing here gawking at him in tight jeans.
When I get back to the ER, I continue to triage patients for the rest of my shift. I look over at my desk and see my diet coke, which instantly makes me think, if I didn't go to the cafeteria to get a drink, then I would of never knew his friend was discharged. He wouldn't be hanging around here and I wouldn't be seeing him, not even little glances, I feel my face sadden at the thought. I don't know what it is about him, I really don't even know him, and we are surely not compatible. Hell, I am sure he doesn't even think about me like I do him. Maybe I should go out with Brad the paramedic. He is a great guy, cute and way more my type. He likes me, and he is like a safety net, I know what I would be getting with him.
Thursday goes by fast and my shift on Friday is almost over, when I get a call from the receptionist in the ER lobby. I pick up the phone, "Hi, this is McKenzie speaking, how can I help you?", I ask. I hear Rita's voice on the other line, "McKenzie, there is someone here in the lobby that would like to talk with you". "Ok, give me a minute, Ill be out soon", I tell her. I wonder who is here to see me, I wasn't expecting anyone. Maybe it's Maggie, she occasionally will stop by. I walk through the double doors and head towards the lobby and leaning over by the wall, I see him. His dark messy hair, tight ripped jeans, a dark blue t-shirt which shows his biceps very well. His tattoos are exposed on his arms and I can see some ink peaking through at the top of his shirt. He looks like his tough self but at the same time different. My heart races as I walk over to him.
