to stand up but feel woozy again. “Please stay lying down until you feel a little better.” I am angry now, he is treating me like a child. Why is it, every time I see this man something bad is happening to me? He must think I am such a mental case, I’m not surprised he didn’t want to kiss me.
“I really need the bathroom,” I mutter feeling annoyed and embarrassed. I’m sure I’ve turned a lovely shade of beetroot. Damon turns around and says something to Jack, within seconds Jenny is by my side and helping me into the bathroom.
“Who in the hell is that delicious man out there?” she says as soon as we are alone, I can see her eyes are almost popping out of her head.
“Who, Damon?” I question with a smirk on my face, knowing full well whom she is talking about. She nods. “Yes, that’s my shrink,” I answer with a shrug, trying to play it cool, when I am anything but. Why does this man make my insides burn up like I could spontaneously combust at any given moment? I want to be angry with him for the way he brushed me off on Wednesday but that is failing miserably. I look back at Jenny who is stood with her mouth wide open staring down at me whilst I am sitting on the toilet.
“No wonder you have been so up and down lately, I knew you said he was okay, but you never said he was like...smoking hot.” She fans her face in exaggeration.
“Yeah, he isn’t bad is he?” I play it down “I wonder what he is doing here?” I wonder if he is stalking me again.
Don’t be stupid, of course he isn’t.
“Probably on a night out like us, I’m pretty sure even hot shrinks need a night out every once in a while,” she laughs. How to burst my bubble in one quick sentence, Jen. I feel deflated, I wanted to believe that he was watching me, but I know I am being crazy.
“He was going to kiss me on Wednesday, then pulled away,” I murmur, she looks at me like I’ve just grown an extra head
“What do you mean he went to kiss you, where?”
“On the lips,” I deadpan.
“Very funny Iz. I mean where did this happen and why am I only just hearing about it?”
“Some creep from the bar tried it on the other night, Damon saved me, then he pinned me to the wall and went to kiss me.” I look down at the floor before continuing. “He pulled away. I felt such a fool, I wanted it so badly but he rejected me. I didn’t want to tell you because I felt ashamed.”
“I understand it all now.” I look up confused. “I get it, you like him don’t you? That’s why you’ve been so up and down lately.”
“Yeah, I do, from that first time I saw him. When he entered my hospital room it was like he jump-started my heart again. He made me feel alive, like I had something to live for.” She looks at me and smiles.
“So why are we sat in the toilet discussing this while he is out there waiting? If you like him then get out there and fight for him Iz.” She tugs on my arm. “Now hurry up I need to check that fine piece of arse out again, especially if he is going to be dating my best friend in the future. I might not get a chance to check him out as a single man again.” She winks at me. I laugh at her stupid over-exaggeration. I finish up on the toilet and then I re-apply my mascara and lip-gloss in the mirror, I check my hair and head back out the door. Damon is stood at the VIP bar talking to Jack. I smile as I notice that Jack is hitting on him. Letting out a little chuckle, I straighten my back and walk over to them.
“So you’re a doctor? You can examine me any time you like.” I listen to Jack, watching him stroke Damon’s arm. Damon looks like he is about to run a mile. I laugh lightly, before walking over to save him.
“Thank you for looking after me,” I say politely. “We shall leave you to enjoy the rest of your night.” I grab Jack by the arm giving him a little tug to drag him away. I watch as Jenny gives me a look that could kill a small army.
“Stay please.” He grabs
