“Tell me what?” I looked back and forth between my guys;
searching their faces for any sign of what I was supposed to be told. All of a sudden they were all silent and no
one would say a word. Duane and Monroe made eyes at Joel, while he sat there looking
back and forth between them.
“Someone tell me what the FUCK is going on!” I started to raise my voice. My inner bitch was coming out, mostly due to
lack of sleep. “I...well you see...”
Joel stammered. I was glaring at Joel, I
had a suspicion as to what he was trying to get out, but I wanted to hear it
from him. “Tell her what we walked in on
Joel...”Duane stated in a very angry tone.
“Look it was nothing...it didn’t mean anything to me at all...Isabella I
swear to you...”
My eyes welled up with tears, after everything I went
through with Craig, it was like déjà vu.
“You son of a bitch!” I started at him and Monroe stopped me in my
tracks and wrapped his arms around me.
“How could you do this to me?!
You knew what I went through with Craig and you cheat on me...when I
came to YOU! I came to help YOU, and
this is how you repay me?!” I was
literally screaming at him and a nurse came rushing in telling me to keep it
down. “Me keep it down?! How about you
tell your slut nurses to keep their hands off of the patients???? Are you running a hospital or a goddamn
brothel?!!” I didn’t care if they called
security or not, I was furious!
“What are you talking about young lady? We only hire the
most upstanding people to work in this hospital. I am sure you’re mistaken.” The nurse said to me. “Well if by upstanding you mean pawing at the
patients and sticking their tongue down their throats .... That must be a new
way of taking ones temperature...” Duane said to the nurse. She looked at us shocked by his statement and
quickly turned to go look at his chart and see who has been tending to
him. She clicked a button on some kind
of radio thing around her neck “Call Jennifer Straton” the machine said
“Calling Jennifer Straton...I’m sorry Jennifer Straton is not reachable at the
moment would you like to leave a message?”
She clicked the button twice hanging up.
She looked at us and then clicked the button “Locate Jennifer Straton”
the radio came back with “Jennifer Straton is in G2”. She turned in a huff and started her search
of the floor.
“Isabella please listen to me, yes she kissed me, yes they
saw it, but I didn’t do anything to provoke her I swear” Joel said to me
looking me dead in the eyes. “You also
did nothing to stop her did you?! DID YOU?
You know if I did something like that, you would be furious and looking
to kick some ass, well guess what sweetheart...I am going to be kicking some
ass!” The nurse walked back in with
Jennifer in tow “What is it Ruth? Does
the patient need help? What is wrong...?”
As she looked around the room, her face went white but then she blushed when
she looked at Joel. “Jennifer these
people have some very serious accusations of your conduct with this patient. As
you know the hospital policy, it could result in termination of your
position. You have only one chance to
help yourself here. Now did you or did
you not make sexual advances towards this patient?” “I...I...uhh...well...he kissed me and I
tried to stop him...” she stammered out.
“WHAT? I kissed you?! Try that again, you kissed me...you said and I
quote ‘you are so hot, I can’t help myself.’”
“I did not!! You were all over me, pawing at me and telling me to get
into your bed.”
“Enough with the back and forth, there were 4 lips and two
belonged to you and two belonged to you.
I however would like to see the manager of the unit and would like to
see the head of the nursing staff. I
will be filing a complaint, and you are very lucky I am not calling my lawyer.”
I stated very loudly. Nurse Ruth nodded and
escorted Jennifer out of the room, whispering very loudly that she was in very
deep trouble. I turned my anger towards
Joel who looked whiter than a sheet “A lawyer?
Do you really feel that would be necessary? It was a kiss I regret, okay? I thought it was...” “Don’t you EVEN DARE
finish that last sentence Joel!” I was
enraged. I knew exactly where he was
going to go with that last statement and there was no way I was going to even
entertain his stupid excuse.
“Well I hope she was worth it, because you just lost me
over it....I am not going to stick around and see what happens next. You KNEW what Craig did to me all those
months, and yet here we are...same boat different passenger...” I turned to walk away “Maybe you can convince
Jennifer to take care of you. Seems she
may be needed a job soon...”
** Just a little note, I know some of my readers must be very disappointed in me but I am doing my best while working, which leaves me with very little time for myself. I am going to take some time now to rework the past posts and work on the timeline. And hopefully get some reserve posts in the bank**
