Where We Belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 1 novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

"That's defiantly her prez. Such a shame to waste though, she is one fine looking bitch" Hearing the laughter erupt from inside the room I walked as quickly as I could and didn't stop until I was in the comfort of my own office. So he did know who I was. What was I going to do? They weren't going to leave this hospital until he was able to be discharged.

Why couldn't they just go after the club instead of me? I know I'm his daughter but why can't they just be men and fight it out between themselves? Surely they wouldn't try anything in a hospital? Not with all those people around. I wasn't going to be a prisoner in my work place. Calming myself down I took a deep breath before making my way to Mr Jenkins room. Poor guy had waited long enough I just hope he wasn't going to be too angry.

"Sorry for the delay, how are we doing this morning Mr Jenkins?" I asked walking over to his bed "Feeling any better?"

"Call me Tom dear, Mr Jenkins was my father" He smiled before jumping into a coughing fit. Once he had settled down I grabbed a hold of his chart. "Okay Tom so today I'm going to take some blood from you and check your blood pressure".

"How is a pretty little thing like you not married?" He asked nodding towards my ring finger.

Laughing at his question I wrapped the belt around his arm "I guess I haven't found the right one yet" I said rubbing his skin so I could find a vein "Too busy with work".

"Don't let work take over your life dear. Get out and enjoy yourself, anyone would be lucky to have a smashing young women like you on there arm".

Feeling my lips pull into a smile I pierced the needle into his skin and processed to take his blood. "Thank you Tom, I'll remember that". Snapping the tube off the end I put another one in " I just have to take two today. Won't be much longer".

"There is someone in your life, isn't there?" He asked as I popped the second tube into the bag.

"There is someone but..-"

"Does he treat you well?" He asked cutting me off.

"He does" holding the cotton wool ball against his arm I grabbed a plaster and slipped it over it. "Thats you all done, no more needles for today. I just have to check your blood pressure". Grabbing a hold of my hand I looked at him " A little bit of advice from an old timer. If he treats you well them don't let him get away".

Sliding my other hand over his I gave it a little squeeze. What a wonderful old man. Wrapping the material around his arm I pumped the pump filling it with air. "Blood pressures still high Tom. Have you been taking your tablets?" I asked letting the air out and removing it from his arm.

"You need to keep taking them Tom. They won't work if you don't" Filling out his chart I put it back in its holder "I'll come back and see you around tea time. Is there anything I can get you?".

"No dear, I'll see you at tea time" he smiled before turning his attention to the window. Feeling my heart swell I turned on my heel and left. Patients like Tom were what made my job special.

"Ava you got a sec?" Josh asked taking a hold of my arm and pulling me into one of the empty rooms. "What the hell Josh?" I snapped taking my arm back and giving it a rub.

"The guy in room 4. Care to explain who he is?" He asked folding his arms over his chest. Did something happen? Why was he asking about him? "He was asking me all types of questions about you".

" What did you tell him?" I asked

"Calm down Ava I didn't tell him anything. I told him we didn't really speak but Ava if you don't know that guy I suggest you get your boyfriend to maybe give him a scare. He was very interested in you".

My boyfriend?

"What did he ask you?" I asked having a bad feeling about all of this. Why would he be asking Josh questions about me? Surely if they planned on doing anything to me they would want to keep it quiet?

"Both of them kept firing questions at me. How old you were, what your name was, when you moved here. Stuff like that". Feeling my stomach drop I closed my eyes. Great now they defiantly knew who I was. Sighing I opened my eyes " Did you tell them?" I whispered swallowing the lump in my throat.

"Hey" He whispered bringing his hand up and laying it against my cheek "I told them complete bullshit. I know trouble when I see it and I knew this has nothing to do with you personally but your dads club. I wouldn't rat you out Ava".

Realising where his hand was I pulled back. I didn't want him getting the wrong idea. "Sorry" He muttered running a hand through his hair "I don't like seeing girls upset. Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable".

" You didn't its just..-"
