ve assigned
tasks to everyone except for you and Nick. Chanel, would you like
to do hiring or decorate the room? ”
    I looked at
Nick and it was a no brainer knowing his Girly Flare, “ Hiring, ” I volunteered.
    Chase addressed
Nick, “ You will work with Bradley and Chanel you will be
working with me. ”
    Chase glared at
Nick and Bradley like the cat that caught the bird, “ Chanel, I will enjoy the honor of working with you in
making all the necessary arrangements. Nick and Bradley, I assume
you will act more professionally and tolerate each other for this
important event? ”
    “That
won ’ t be a problem, ” Nick assured
Chase.
    Bradley
stood, “ I ’ m being
paged. ” He glared at his brother and then nodded to me
before storming from the room, letting the heavy door fall loudly
behind him. I was going to
have to do damage control with Bradley after the meeting
adjourned.

 
     
    ~21~
    We were dismissed shortly after Bradley had excused
himself. I went looking for him in the nursing station, the Cath
lab, our usual lounge, Tim ’ s, and finally the
smaller lounge we had been to once before.
    I found him in
the last place I looked, the private lounge. He was sitting on the
couch brooding. His stethoscope and jacket were carelessly tossed
on the seat next to him and he appeared to be nursing a coffee from
Tim ’ s.
    “Do you want to
talk? ” I offered.
    He looked so
lost in his own thoughts. It had me more than worried about what
was bothering him, “ Your friend is a real
piece of work, ” he complained.
    “How did you
know it was Nick? ”
    “You came in
with him, and I sensed chemistry. I hated him on site
Chanel. ”
    “Can you try to
at least tolerate him so we don ’ t have those kinds of
scenes anymore? You know how gossip flies in
hospitals. ” Snatching the cup of coffee from his
hand I took a sip of it, the one I had in the meeting was gone and
this conversation was making me nervous.
    “Your ex-fuck
buddy? I think you ’ re asking too much
from me. ”
    “This is hard
for him too, please? He ’ s had to give up our
sexual excursions so you and I can have a chance at a relationship.
That ’ s asking a lot for him to do. I ’ m in
demand, ” I said jokingly. I was desperate to lighten his
mood.
    “I will attempt
civil. ”
    Pleased with
Bradley I encouraged him, “ It ’ s a
start. ”
    He grabbed my
hand making me lose my balance. I dropped awkwardly onto the couch
next to him. His face was soft from shaving and his lips covered
mine as he embraced me, “ I need to be with you
again, ” he mumbled between kisses. He pulled the blouse I
had nicely tucked into my skirt loose and slid his hand up my top,
pinching my nipple hard. I moaned into his mouth as his tongue
danced with mine. His mouth was warm and inviting and he tasted
like sweet coffee.
    I pulled away
for a second and asked, “ Do you want to come
to my loft after work? I ’ d love it if you
stayed over. ”
    “You
won ’ t be able to get me off you, ” he
threatened.
    My tongue
lunged deep into his mouth, and then as I pulled it out I nipped
hard on his lower lip making him groan before answering, “ I would never want to pull you off me. ” We kissed
for a few more minutes until our conscience got the better of us
and we went back to work.
    We finished
later than normal because the meeting at noon set us back. Bradley
left Hummer in the hospital parking lot and he drove me
home in Snowball. I don ’ t know if he
understood the significance of it. Nobody but me ever drove
Snowball. What this implied about our relationship were life
altering. Nick never even had the honors!
    Bradley ’ s presence this
morning at the hospital was greatly missed by me because I was so
used to working with him. I noticed his fancy dress pants and how
he ’ d shaved today when we were leaving the hospital. I
dared not ask why, not yet anyway. When we got to the loft he went
to hand me the keys. I pushed his hand away gesturing for
