Since neither of them reacted, it was clear we were hidden from their sight as the nurses made some quick chit-chat.
“That woman was so pretty,” the first nurse stated. “Think she’s the mother of that younger woman?”
“Maybe?” the other nurse suggested. “I almost mistook the two. They look more like twins than anything else.”
“I wonder what their association is to the patient?” the nurse with a white robe pondered.
“Who knows. Has to be someone high up there to afford to get care in a place like this. He normally has a bodyguard at the door at all times. Has to be a politician or something,” the other nurse suggested. “It doesn’t matter honestly. At least we get paid to service him. Didn’t you see that the new hire got fired in a matter of seconds? She didn’t even get cleared by the bodyguard.”
“What? No way!”
“Mhmm. Boss thinks she was trying to get deets on him. I forgot her name. “Fel? It was something with an F, but she was a bitch. Rude and disrespectful.”
“Oh! I think it was Felicia? Or Felecia? I overheard boss talking about someone with that name saying they were officially banned because he found out she has some shady connections working with some bad people who secretly work with the church or something.”
Felicia tried to be a nurse for Roberto? And the church is involved?
“Girl, that’s some tea for you! SHHH. Don’t tell anyone else this, but I think the Fel girl works for the church and our guy with the bodyguards works with the mafia. I bet they’re trying to get the advantage while he’s down, like a typical Korean drama or something.”
“Ugh. I wouldn’t even be surprised, though. Haven’t you heard that a lot of members of the church have been caught in scandals in the last few days? I bet they’re anxious as fuck.”
“The Vatican themselves? Or the churches beneath them?”
“They’re all connected, girl,” the nurse reasoned. “Think of it like a pyramid scheme. You know a lot of people don’t focus on it, but the Vatican is like the White House and all the churches are beneath. Besides, of course, they’re frightened of more shit coming out. Christmas and New Year’s Day are where they make the MOST money every year. No other holiday delivers generosity in the church realms of tides an offering like Christmas does. That’s when everyone is all joyous and excited to start the new year right. They fuck it up, none of them are getting their usual bonuses.”
“Must be nice,” the other nurse huffed as she grabbed some IV bags. “They try to label those in gangs and mafia organizations bad when the church tries to act like they’re the holy grail and will deliver us to heaven when they’re bigger sinners."
“It’s sad, right? Don’t know about you, but if I had to support one side, I’d be on the mafia’s. At least they kill sexual predators and the true bad guys that hurt innocent people for their personal gain. The church simply prays that your sins are wiped, but they are the ones committing the same crimes as any other person.”
“The ultimate truth. You got enough IV bags?”
“Ya. Shouldn’t we do the narcotic count now? The counter space is free.”
They looked our way, and I felt our tension as we remained as still as we could.
Not like I could do much to begin with, being sandwiched between two sexy beasts.
“Let’s do it before rounds. That way we can leave afterward. It’s a quiet night anyway.”
“Awesome. Let’s head out.”
The two ensured they had enough supplies in their grasp and departed from the room. We still remained in place, making sure no one else would come along. I noticed a glimmering wall of black ooze from the floor and upward to shield the walls.
I could only glance back, my head hitting the middle of Loki’s chest. He glanced down at me and smirked. “Figured you may need a few moments before we depart,” he reasoned.
“And what would I need a few moments for?” I inquired while my eyes got lost in his. “You have something in mind?”
“Maybe,” he admitted. “Though, Saint’s imagination is probably planning other diabolic plans.”
“I wasn’t doing shit,” Saint muttered, and I lowered my head to see his slightly flushed expression.
“Why are you flustered?” I inquired.
“No reason,” he huffed, but now I was curious as a tiny hint of jealousy perked through me. My arms hooked around his neck, forcing him to stay pinned to me.
“What? Those nurses hot to you or something?”
“I wasn’t paying attention to either of them,” Saint noted but couldn’t help but further press me against Loki while he leaned in to whisper, “Why? Are you suddenly jealous?”
