Melanie’s POV

“Melanie!”

Luke’s sharp call brought me out of my deep thought.

Damn.

I can’t believe I got distracted. Worse, I was in the middle of changing Luke’s surgical dressing and I came so close to hurting him.

“Sorry, Luke. What were you saying?” I asked.

Luke eyed me curiously. “You haven’t been listening to a word I’ve said.”

“Sorry, I got distracted for a moment,” I answered.

“Are you okay?” he asked. “You don’t look so good.”

“I’m fine, I guess I’m just a little tired,” I answered.

  • The Don's Innocent Nurse   Chapter 35

    Melanie’s POV“That is so hot!” April exclaimed. “Why have you been hiding him from us?”I didn’t know I was obligated to report to them.“More like I’ve been monopolizing her time,” Adriano said. “I miss her when she’s not with me so we’ve been spending all our free time together.”“That’s understandable,” April said.Hayley, who had been quiet finally asked, “If you don’t mind me asking, what do you do for a living, Adriano?”I turned to Adriano, practically begging him with my eyes not to say what he really did but to my surprise, he smiled at, Hayley.“I don’t mind, Hayley. I run a branch of our family business, the real estate and construction,” he answered.“So you’re like, old money?” Kelly asked.“Something like that,” he said.“What is the name of this family business?” Hayley asked."I'd rather not tell you everything about me on our first meeting. It'll take the novelty out of it."“Fair enough,” Hayley conceded.“I guess you really know how to pick them, Melanie,” Kelly sa

  • The Don's Innocent Nurse   Chapter 34

    Melanie’s POVThanks to what Adriano termed my ‘tantrum’ I was able to have more freedom so the next time, Hayley invited me out for drinks, I readily accepted.However, when we walked out of the hospital, there was a little snag when Ralph wanted to drive me to the bar. Thankfully, I was able to convince him that it was better if I walked with my colleagues and he could just meet us there.The bar was called, Leo’s and it was only a couple blocks from the hospital. A great walking distance.“I’m glad you decided to join us tonight,” Hayley said after we placed an order for a round of beers.“Yeah, me too,” I replied.Luckily, the bar wasn't yet crowded and we were able to snag a table and join two tables together so that the seven of us could sit together.“For a while there I was sure you thought yourself better than us,” one of the other nurses, April said.“April!” Hayley chided.I heard the small gasp from others at April's words but their faces told a different story. They obvio

    Melanie’s POVAfter the uncomfortable conversation with Nurse Betty, Lydia began giving me dirty looks.Not that I cared much what she did but I guessed, Nurse Betty must have ripped her a new one. Regardless of the fact that she favored Lydia, it was obvious she loved her job more and I felt a little satisfaction at the fact that Lydia was brought down a peg or two.Well, maybe Adriano wasn’t completely useless then.“Why’re you smiling like that?”“Hmm?”Hayley asked again, “You’re smiling as if you just remembered something funny. Care to share?”I shook my head. “It’s nothing important,” I said.“Speaking of something unimportant, have you seen the looks, Lydia has been giving you?” she asked.I nodded in response.“I wonder what crawled up her ass this time,” she murmured.Hayley didn’t know I had a conversation with Nurse Betty. Telling her that would only bring about a series of questions I didn’t have the answers to so I shrugged and said, “Who knows?”“I hope she pulls out th

    Melanie’s POVThe next few days went by pretty smoothly and I felt like I was finally getting a handle on things at work again after the tragic accident.A good number of the victims were still in the ICU but their prognosis looked good so fingers crossed they make it out alive. The ICU has been a revolving door of visitors coming to check on their loved ones and I could see the hope along with the sadness in their eyes during every visit.Then there was having to talk to the visitors when they seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown. At this rate, I might just get a psych degree because nurses had to do most of the grunt work while most of the appreciation went to the doctors.I watched Hayley walking out of a patient’s room with a frown on her face."Is everything okay?" I asked when she got to the nurses' station.She shook her head. “No, my patient is still not getting better and to be honest I don’t think she would.”We knew this would happen. Our hero patient had been in a coma

    Adriano’s POVI wasn’t one to hesitate.In my line of work, the slightest hesitation might very well be the difference between life and death. But here I was, hesitating to answer a single question.“I heard you had a rough day,” I finally said.“Yeah, I did. Is there anything else?”She not only sounded tired but looked at it as well. Her back was hunched and her eyes were already looking droopy which means…“Did I wake you?” I asked.She nodded slowly. Shit I shouldn’t have knocked, but I didn’t want a repeat of the pacing I did yesterday.“I just wanted to make sure you were, okay,” I said.“I’m sure, Alice already told you how I was or better still Ralph must have told you. There was no need to pay a personal visit,” she said.Thank God she was tired because she looked too good in the silk nightwear she had on and I wanted to thank and curse my shopper at the same time for providing them.And her sass only made me want her more but having a hard-on for someone who was practically

  • The Don's Innocent Nurse   Chapter 30

    Melanie’s POVAfter my conversation with Alice, I decided to call it a night. Mostly because I was tired but there was also a part of me that wanted to get away from Alice’s questioning eye.Although, she let it go. The look she kept giving me told a different story. It was like she was telling me with her eyes, I’m watching you closely.I thought about foregoing a shower but I touched a lot of blood today and frankly, I was hoping a hot shower would wash away the events of today from my body and I would feel much lighter.I was right. The shower did make me feel better. I changed into the silk nightwear I've come to love and took a quick look at my phone.Smiling when I saw multiple missed calls from my parents. At least this time around, there weren’t multiple text messages from them compared to the last time.I contemplated calling them back but I knew my parents would only continue their assault on my phone tomorrow morning so I called them back. There was only a one-hour time d
