"You didn't have to help if you know you'd complain," I said to him as I stretched my legs.
"I thought that I'd get to watch the new nurse of yours work, so I stayed around," he admitted. "I honestly thought the both of you were working together."
"I already have my team for that, besides if you said you wanted to work with her, I would have told you to help her out, so she could leave earlier," I said.
"You'll be comfortable with her working with me? What if I try to steal her away from you?" he asked.
"Pfft," I scoffed and chuckled. "Good one."
"What? You think I can't do it?" He asked, offended by my response.
"I don't think she'd listen to you anyway but you can go ahead and try," I shrugged.
"Wow, so this is what it's like to be couples?" He sighed. "When last was I in a relationship to understand this feeling?"
"Oh, we're not a couple, or in a relationship yet," I said.
"Oh, you two haven't made it official yet," he muttered, "but at least you've let your feelings known to her."
"I haven't done that either," I chuckled nervously.
He stared at me in disbelief.
"What?" I raised a brow.
"Wait, if you haven't even done any of that, and obviously you two have already crossed the line between employer and employee, what the hell is connecting you two as lovers?" he asked. "She doesn't even know you love her."
"She knows…" I derailed in my speech as I thought about it.
"The reverse is also the case. I guess she hasn't told you about it either," he said.
"I don't think she minds, and there's still time," I said. "I was going to tell her today but Chloe interrupted. I'll tell her this evening."
"She doesn't have as much time as you think," he murmured.
"What's that?"
"I said time is relative." He seemed pissed at me for some reason.
"Whatever, you can get going now anyway," I said as I got to my feet. "I'm going to pick up Chloe."
"Chasing me away after you're done using me. Men really are scum aren't they?" He faked sobbing.
"You did good today. Thank you for your help," he said.
"You're welcome," he said.
"Now don't forget to give Chloe my gift," he said. "Hopefully, it makes up for last year's disaster."
"A teddy bear that is almost the same size as her," I said as I thought about the gift while we walked to the door. "Maybe if you had given it to her, she wouldn't have lost it so easily."
"She lost her teddy?" he asked.
"Yeah, during the picnic yesterday with Olivia," I replied.
"Ah, he went on a family trip, and still hasn't told her how he feels," he grinned. "Are you sure you aren't the youngest? Getting shy to tell a girl how you feel."
"I'm not shy. I'm waiting to tell her tonight," I defended.
