New Nurse
*Sandra*
I couldn't understand what I was seeing at first. I looked into the room and she was sitting there, on his bed, with his hand on her lap. She was talking to him sweetly, telling him she wanted to feel his fingers on her. She was trying to get him to touch her. He wasn't even concious. I screamed at her. When she heard me, she jumped up mumbling something about checking his pulse. His eyes flew open and he jerked his hand away. "What's going on in here?" I heard Jay behind me, but my focus was fine-tuned on her face. I walked closer to her, backing her against the wall. "What the fuck were you trying to do?" I said darkly. I started to reach up and grab her throat and someone grabbed my waist. "Sunshine, what happened? Stop! Listen to me." Zeus yelled. I was struggling against him, screaming at her, and trying to grab her. "She was touching him, and trying to put his hand between her legs. I heard her tell him he wanted to touch her." I said with rage ripping through my vocal cords. "What did you do to me?" Joseph said. When I heard him groan, I instantly turned to him, and Zeus let go. "What was she doing to me, baby?" He said with complete disgust. "I think she was trying to get you to touch her in your sleep. She's a sick bitch. Someone get her out of here before I rip her face off." I said feeling the shaking in my body intensify. "Nurse Kate, What the fuck were you thinking?" I heard the doctor now. "He liked it before her. He fucked me every time he was in here. I kneeled for him Sunshine." She said my name sarcastically. "Now he doesn't want me, because of that ugly slut." Her words were a mistake. Henry was in her face, telling her how disgusting she looked, how depraved she was, and how he better never catch her within miles of New York. "Henry, stop!" Zeus said practically picking him up and making him leave the room. Joseph grabbed my hands and told me he was sorry. I was in shock. I had no idea he had slept with the nurse. No wonder she was so aggressive towards me. She was jealous. Jay grabbed her arm and walked her out of the room. She was yelling down the hallway that I would regret this. Swearing that I would see her again. Of all the dangers I have faced, Nurse Kate was not someone I was intimidated by. I stood up from the bed, backing away from Joseph. I was angry at him. He should have told me. He shouldn't have allowed her to care for him. Did she kneel for him? I thought I was the only one to do that. Did he spank her? Did he own her? I could feel tears beginning to burn in my eyes. "I am so sorry miss, I didn't know she was that crazy." The doctor said walking towards me. I put my hand up to tell him not to get close. "Do you need anything?" He asked around the room. "A new nurse," Zeus said walking back into the room. No one laughed but I smirked at him. "Tough crowd." He said.
When the doctor left, Joseph asked me to come sit with him, and I just turned and looked out the window. "I am going to go check on Henry and Jay. Make sure that girl didn't lose her life for calling someone a slut." Zeus said, probably drowning in the tension in the room. As soon as he left the room everything felt heavier. "Sandra, please talk to me," Joseph said softly from behind me. I heard a creak in the bed and turned around. He was trying to push himself up from the bed to walk to me. "Don't do that. You aren't supposed to be standing up." I said walking towards him. "Then come and sit beside me." He said in almost a whisper. It was hurting, taking his breath, to sit there like that. "If you lean back again, I will come sit there." I crossed my arms and walked towards him. "Fine." He said with a huff. He leaned back slowly. I sat down on his bed closer to his feet. "That's cheating." He tried to reach for my arm. "It's not cheating. I am sitting beside you." I rolled my eyes at him dramatically. He growled at me, but I pretended it had no effect, hiding the fact that I could feel it in between my legs. "I know you're mad at me, Sandra. I know you think I lied to you. I didn't. I knew the nurse, yes, but I only ever slept with her twice. Never saw her outside of this place. When I had sex before you I never did it without the woman submitting to me. You never had to, I just wanted you to. I would have loved you either way. I have never wanted someone the way I do you baby. I know you know that. Why are you upset?" He seemed sincere, but I couldn't shake how what she said made me feel. Maybe he didn't tell me I was the only one to kneel for him, but I thought I had been.
I looked over at him and his expression told me he was scared. It was something I rarely saw on his face. His eyes were wider than usual, his lips thin, and his jaw clenched tightly. I found myself wanting to comfort him. "You didn't tell me you knew her. You didn't tell me you had slept with her before. When she started running her mouth, I felt like you had lied to me. He hid it from me. It was the first time since we reconnected that I felt like you weren't being completely honest with me." I said putting my head down, looking at my feet. "Sandra, she never meant anything to me. I didn't say anything because I didn't want you to be worried about her. She was nothing to me but a hook-up when I was down. A hook-up when I was stuck here after some stupid injury. She was easy and begging for me to want her. I didn't even think it was something worth mentioning." He said shaking his head as if he disagreed with his own words. "I was wrong. I should have told Doc I wanted a new nurse." I looked up at him and smirked. He was so drugged he wouldn't have been able to tell the Doc anything. This is the most awake I have seen him since he came in here. "I will get over it boss, don't worry. I love you even if you are sometimes too drugged to fix everything." He looked up at me and I saw his eyes turn into a smile, not his mouth, his eyes. They lightened up like someone had gifted him his very first puppy. Was he that worried that I was upset with him? This strong leader of the biggest gang in New York? I scooted closer to him and reached for his hand. He pulled me down on his chest and hugged me tightly. " I would never do anything to hurt you, darling. I love you more than I have ever loved before. I never believed I could love this way. You opened my eyes to a part of me I thought I lost forever. I think I just.." He paused catching his breath. " I think I left it in Ohio, and you returned it to me when I kidnapped you." I leaned up and kissed him softly. " I love you too my king."
When I opened my eyes it was dark outside the window. We had fallen asleep with my on his chest. I looked up at him and he was staring at me smiling. "I thought you slept at the city house." He said half scolding and half joking. I smiled, "It wasn't the same without you." He kissed my forehead. "I have to call the Doc in to check me out. He came in earlier but I wouldn't let them wake you up." I nodded and sat up reaching for his call button. "If he doesn't think I will start bleeding again, I will be allowed to go home tomorrow. I have to walk first." He said cautiously. I felt my eyebrows furrow, and my lips go thin. I didn't like the thought of him going home already. There is no way that was the safe way to go. "Sunshine, he never stays here more than one day. Doc will do house calls." I heard Henry behind me so I spun around and glared at him. "He has stayed here before," I said with sass. Henry went red and shrugged. "All I am saying is he will be okay at home sis." I smiled at him with the term coming from him now. "Fine. Only if the doc tells me this is safe for him." I said walking towards the hall. When I found the doctor he apologized to me again for the nurse. I smiled at him telling him it wasn't his fault she was a crazy bitch. He chuckled. " I know what you want to know. The guys already told me that you weren't thrilled about him going home. He will be okay. Smoke is someone who seems to always heal faster if he isn't lying around in bed Sunshine. If I allow him to go he stands a better chance of getting better without any complications. He will take care of himself, and he will see me every two days for a few weeks. I promise you I will take care of him. He is going to be fine." He said placing his hand on my shoulder but quickly removing it. I glanced behind me and saw Joseph walking towards us. "Hello sunshine, I wanted to surprise you. Look I am upright." He grinned looking so proud of himself. I walked up to him smiling back and wrapped my arms around his waist softly to not hurt him. He squeezed me slowly leaning down slightly to kiss my forehead. "Let's get you home my king," I whispered up to him.
Zeus yelled from the room, "Hey boss, It's Santino"
