Heart of Gold

Chapter 20

We still do what we did before we got married but now we lived on the same floor. We got Mazey ready together and we'd drop her off at school together. He went in a few times when she asked and so did I. I'd wear the ring around but not to the hospital. He did the same and every day for the last two weeks Trish asked if we consummated the marriage and I knew he was wondering why we hadn't had sex yet. I couldn't tell him even though I want to.

I pinned the ring on my scrub top and changed. I was more modest now I changed in my office were no one especially Eric couldn't see me but it didn't mean I escaped. Dr. Nelson a loud mouth fellow that liked to be noticed and thought he was the best thing since slice bread was always following me around and he was a Cardio fellow. I got out of my office and closed the door and like a pungent odour he appeared.

"Dr. Nelson this is paediatrics not cardiology." I told him.

"I know I just came to see if you were okay." He smiled his charming smile that was supposed to flutter my heart.

"We have no babies or children with heart disease." I told him.

"I just want to look around." He said.

"You have been looking around for two weeks." I said.

"I might be interested in Paeds." He said slowly. He was lying he wanted something. He looked at the intern that passed us eye raping her.

"You're not interested in Paeds and Paeds isn't interested in you." I told him.

"I can charm Paeds pants off." He said.

"With what?" I held up my Pinky and smirked.

"Seven inches of all man." He said as if I was to be impressed.

"Oh my god seven inches. Still not interested." I said and walked away.

"I'll be here if you need something nice." He yelled.

"Pitiful." I said and went on my rounds. I haven't done a good surgery in weeks. It's so bad that I'm wishing for some kid to do something stupid like wear red in front of a bull. I just had appendix removal, bowl obstructions and intestine clearing. I looked at the board Eric had a twelve hour surgery that was happening right now. I got in the gallery a few other persons were there and I took a seat in the front row looking down.

"Hi Dr. Gold." Someone had turned on the intercom at Dr. Nelson's request.

"I'm just here to watch." I said. Eric was scrubbing in.

"So you're a watcher." He said. Eric came in and saw me and nodded and I gave him a curt nod.

"Whatever." I crossed my legs. I watched as they removed one mass of eighteen from around this man's heart. They got out ten when they began stretching to get the rest out. Eric was focus he never once looked up and he didn't speak a lot like Nelson who was blabbing on and on.

"Dr. Gold I think you and I should go out." Nelson said and Eric's head snapped up.

"Not even if I was dying." I said.

"I think you have pent up sexual anger. I heard redheads are wild in bed." He said and I saw Eric's jaw clenched.

"I'm not a redhead and even if I was I would never sleep with you. Lay down with dogs you get up with fleas." I said rolling my eyes at him.

"You need to get laid and I'm offering my services." He said.

"Seven inches. Tempting but I'll pass." Eric looked at him but he paid him no mind. "I've seen bigger and better." I said and Eric head shot and he looked at me confused or with anger.
