Love me again

Chapter Seven

Zoe, Breanna and Audrey after having their nursing license was hired by Good Samaritan Hospital in New York City.

They were assigned in different areas. Breanna was assigned at Pediatric Ward, Audrey in OB ward while Zoe was assigned in Medical-Surgical ward.
Due to her work schedule she could only see Skylar three times a week.

Their relationship despite being secret lovers in her opinion is going smooth and sailing. Skylar would usually prepare sweet surprises for her. Actions speaks louder than words, that's what she wanted to believe, even without saying she can feel that he loves her too.

It was a toxic shift for Zoe to tonight, she had two admissions, two pre-operative and 4 post-operatively patients. It's already 3am, she still has to finish her chartings and administer her due medications. At 4am she decided to have coffee at the pantry to keep her wide-awake, she endorsed her patients first to her colleague.While taking coffee break, she took her phone out of her pocket. "Good morning my Sky, I'm still wide-awake for duty. Take care always, I missed you. Have a great day ahead! -Lovelots, Zoe." She pressed the sent button.
She returned her phone to her pocket. Then to her surprise her phone vibrated, an sms alert from Skylar. "He is already awake at this hour? She wondered. She opened the message,
"Sweet morning to you too sweetheart...I feel for you, make sure to have enough rest after your duty, don't skip meals, okay? I missed you more. Xoxo- your Sky :)

She felt butterflies in her stomach reading his message, he never failed to brightened up my day even with a simple sms. After she emptied her coffee she immediately went back to her post and checked her patients vital signs and neurological status.

Finally its 7am, endorsement done to next shift and she's out and off. She went inside her car and drive home.
Zoe upon arriving home immediately throw herself to bed and sleep. Her mom did not disturb her for she knows how tired her daughter is.

Skylar on the other hand had to face many clients for that day from 8am until 2pm. It was around 2:30pm when he can finally say that he's free. He went back inside his office and took a rest at his swivel chair. He closed his eyes and gently massage his head. "What a tiring day! Whoa! Thank God its done!" He sighed with relief.
He was able to closed a contract with all the clients he met this morning, thanks to his intelligence and convincing power.
He heard his message alert tone, it couldn't be Zoe, she is probably asleep by this time. Who could this be, He wondered. He reached for his fone on his desk. The number is not registered in his fone, he opened the message.
"Hi Skylar! It's me Emily. How are you? Can we see each other tonight? Just to catch-up."
Skylar smiled, the beautiful Ms. Emily Thompson... "Why not? He thought to himself, he's not in a relationship, he did not promise anything to Zoe.." He said justifying his action to himself.
"Hi beautiful, sure, let's meet tonight. -Skylar" He pressed sent button.

Skylar met Emily at Copthorne Hotel, the had dinner. Skylar was captivated by Emily's beauty, body and wit. Emily is working as an Economic professor at Fordham University here in New York City. She has an established career and came from a decent family. His parents was right all along.

That wasn't their last date, it was followed with more and eventually Skylar was able to bed her.

Zoe noticed some changes to Sky, this past three weeks he rarely calls her, there was even a time that they've only seen each other only once a week. She's beginning to panic. "Ahh, calm down Zoe, you are over analyzing things, you are both busy at work okay." She said reassuring herself.

Since it's her off today she decided to go to Skylar's unit, she has a duplicate key, Sky gave it to her. They just turned six months today, he will surprise him tonight. Zoe went to the supermarket first to buy the things she needed for tonight, she'll cook a special dinner. After that she drive her car to Skylar's place.
