I say as I hop out of his lap before he can say anything, I am running around my room trying to find my phone. I am supposed to be to work by seven.
I spot my purse by the door and walk over to it.
When I bend down to grab it, Ryder groans and I quickly whip my head up, looking at him.
He is leaning on his hands staring at my ass with his bottom lip in between his teeth
It’s then that I realize that the only thing I’m in is a tiny thong and a t-shirt.
“Stop staring at my ass!”
He slowly runs his eyes up my body. “Anamchara, trust me, I plan on doing a lot more than just stare at it.” I just stand there with my mouth hanging open. He did not just say that. My phone rings in my hand and I look down to see Magen calling me. I quickly turn around and head into the bathroom.
“Hello?”
“WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU? You’re fifteen minutes late and douche hole is breathing down my neck.” I flinch pulling my phone away from my ear. Fuck, she has a set of lungs on her.
“Calm down Meg. I am on my way.”
“Hurry! Otherwise I am going to kill me a bitch.” She says dramatically before hanging up. Laughing, I brush my teeth and take the fastest shower in the world.
I throw my hair into a ponytail and get dressed in my scrubs before running out of the bathroom. Ryder isn’t in the bedroom when I walk out. I don't have time to worry about where he’s at because I gotta go. When I make it down stairs he has my bag and a cup of coffee and is waiting by the door.
“You left your car at the bar, so I’ll take you to work then pick you up after your shift. Maybe we can go get dinner after?” He is opening the door and ushering me outside before I can answer.
When we get to his truck, he opens the door and waits until I am in before handing me my purse and coffee. Before I know it, we are driving. I turn in my seat and look at him.
“Thank you for taking me to work.” He gives me a smile before turning back to look at the road.
“You are more than welcome besides I did it purely out of selfishness. This way you can’t get out of seeing me tonight.” I give him a shit eating grin.
“You know I could still do that right?”
“Ha, I am the one who has your keys and I plan on holding them hostage until after our date.”
“I can't go on a date with you right after work! I am going to look like death and God only knows what kind of gross shit is going to happen to me during my shift.” I practically whine out as I fold my arms. He just laughs and reaches over putting his hand on my knee.
“Anamchara, you always look beautiful and there is no way I am letting you get out of this.” I bite my lip and look out the window
“Fine but you have to at least let me shower before you take me out.”
We make it to Dallas General in record time and before he can say anything, I lean over and give him a kiss on the cheek before I hop out of the truck “I’ll see you at six. Don't be late.”
I tell him before shutting the door and running into work. I am an hour late and I know that I am going to be in deep shit for it.
When I walk in I go straight for my locker getting my pager and favorite pen. As I am walking out, Megan comes at me.
“OhMiGod Suzy, I hate him! I have never hated someone so much in my entire life. He is the devil's spawn.”
“Meg don’t you think you're overreacting just a tad?” I ask as we start walking towards the ER.
She shakes her head. “You only had to deal with him for twenty minutes, I have had to deal with him for the last two hours just you wait. You are going to want to stab him in the throat.”
Sure he seemed like an arrogant jackass when I met him, but a lot of ER doctors are especially seeing as he is a trauma surgeon.
“Everything will be okay as long as you promise to help me hide the body if we need to okay?” She starts laughing and I can’t help but chuckle too.
I have only been a nurse for two years and one thing I have learned is you need to have a thick layer of skin and a quick wit to get you through your day. Most of the morning goes by in a blur and I am beginning to realize that Meg wasn’t wrong about Dr. Cole Howell. He has been flirting with me all morning and tries to touch me whenever he has the chance. I fucking hate it, luckily, it’s lunch time and I get a break from him for more than ten minutes.
