“Bye, love you, too.”
* * *
I’m sitting in the office at the Martyr Hospital, trying to concentrate on the task at hand.
But I can’t. I’m freaking out about Nathan and what I’ve done.
I should have listened to the warning signals my body was giving me. We have been acting different toward each other lately. If I’d just listened to my gut and taken a step back from him, this wouldn’t have happened.
I hear a familiar voice out in the hall near recovery.
I jump up and step out into the corridor, where Nathan is talking to a nurse about a patient.
His eyes come to me.
“Dr. Mercer,” I say. “Sorry to interrupt.”
“Yes,” he says as if I’m an annoyance.
“Can I see you in my office for a moment when you’re finished here, please?”
“I have to get going. I have an appointment.”
“It will take one minute,” I reply sharply.
He clenches his jaw, unimpressed by my tone. “Fine.”
I march back into my office. He can be such an asshole when he wants to be. Moments later, he walks into my office and puts his hands into his suit pockets. “What do you want, Eliza?”
“What do you mean, what do I want?” I whisper angrily.
“Exactly what I said.”
“Are we going to talk about last night?” I ask.
“Nothing to talk about,” He snaps.
“Are you kidding me? If there was nothing to talk about, why did you leave last night?”
“Because I wanted to.” He sneers.
I narrow my eyes. Nathan is never like this with me. This is the behaviour he saves for everyone else. “What is your problem?”
“You are my fucking problem.”
“Me?” I point to my chest. “What did I do?”
“Oh, please.” He scoffs with an eye roll. “You know exactly what you fucking did.”
My fury begins to boil. “And what is that?”
“Waving your half-naked ass all over my dick, and…” He clenches his jaw as if to stop himself spitting out poison.
“You were massaging me.” My eyes bulge. “It was your hands on me. Are you kidding?”
“Do I look like I’m fucking kidding? What is this? A big joke to you?”
I frown. He’s really rattled by this. “Nathan, calm down. So, we got a little tipsy and crossed the line. It was just an accident.”
