conversation between Stacy and Dr. Taylor continued, Addison seized the opportunity when she saw Jack begin to stand. Hallelujah.
“Oh Jack, hold on,” She pleaded in his direction. He paused and offered an inquisitive look.
“ I was just going to head out…” he answered, his eyes darting between her and Dr. Taylor. Don’t worry; he’s too busy with Stacy to care if I leave with you.
“Oh, perfect. So am I.” She gave him an appreciative smile before s he reached below her chair to grab her clutch she’d placed there. She almost jumped when Dr. Taylor leaned down closer to her.
“You’re leaving already? Let me walk you out,” he offered solemnly, starting to stand.
Say yes, say yes, say yes.
Not wanting to aim any more of Stacy’s jealousy in her direction, Addison decided to decline his offer. She looked up and met his dark brown eyes, sad to be leaving them so soon.
“No worries, I’ll just have Jack walk me ...” she muttered, letting her gaze dip down to his tantalizing lips only for a moment. Why am I not kissing him right now? Oh right, this isn’t real life and he is just a gorgeous dream
He nodded slowly looking toward Jack with a glare as if he wasn’t quite resigned to the idea. Addison noted what could have been a bit of annoyance flashing across his face.
“You’ve got her Jack?”
What? Does he have me? I managed to get to this event just fine before I met either of you. She bit her tongue, though, choosing to let the men treat her as a damsel.
Jack nodded quickly, obviously a bit intimated by Dr. Taylor’s sudden glower, before taking a few steps toward her. “Ready, Addison?”
“Yeah, I think so. Bye every one, it was nice meeting you,” she said, expecting Stacy to stand up to hug her goodbye. Instead she was only met with a cold smile from her classmate. Alrighty… class should be fun on Monday…
“It was a pleasure, Addison,” Dr. Taylor said, drawing her stare toward him one last time. She tried to memorize the way his dark grey dress shirt clung to his perfect shoulders , the way his tanned forearms offered a glimpse of everything else she was missing. She couldn’t help but imagine how his chest would look underneath his shirt; she had a feeling it’d be peppered with the same dark hair that fell so perfectly on his head.
The way he was watching her walk away sent tingles down her spine. His attention placed solely on her was one of the best feelings in the world and she found herself hoping they’d meet again soon.
Chapter 3
The weekend ended too quickly for Addison ; she enjoyed her lazy Sundays when she was allowed to catch up on reading and pretended she knew what she was doing with her life. Monday morning forced her back to reality where she was currently working to restock all of the exam rooms at work. She’d almost finished putting new gowns into each room and day-dreaming away when she suddenly remembered Dr. Fischer mentioning a new resident was starting today. Her mind immediately jumped to Dr. Taylor. Could it be him? He didn’t say anything about coming to her office, but Dr. Fischer had been talking to him on Saturday. She let her hopes start to build, forgetting that a resident with a spine specialty wouldn’t really find a need to rotate through a women’s health clinic. He’s going to have to come to the office every day for a couple of weeks at least. That means I’ll get to see him on most of those days…
She was finishing preparing the exam room for their first patient when she heard the front door open. Her heart immediately dropped. Their first patient wasn’t due for another hour, so she knew the resident had arrived. She fidgeted in the exam rooms a few more seconds before walking out into the hallway expecting to be greeted by Dr. Taylor in all his glory. She slowly turned the corner out of the room, not wanting to look overly keen. I would have to go out into the hallway even if he hadn’t just arrived. Suddenly,
