Angelina ; His Personal Nurse

Chapter 2

Angelina’s POV

I could sense some eyes glaring hard at me.

Does he have to show up now?.

I thought I wasn't going to see him again.

Then, he started walking towards me.

What now?.

What's he's gonna do?.

I wanted to run but my legs remained fixed in that position.

I was thinking he's gonna pass me but no he stopped right in front of me.

"Hello." He greeted as his deep masculine voice sounded.

I don't even know why my body reacted.

"Hi." I answered shyly.

"I guess you are the same girl I saw early this morning." He asked.

I noticed he was kind of fidgety while talking to me but I didn't want to embarrass him by laughing.

"Yes I___"

"Oh Landon, I'm one of your biggest fans, and I really love your skills in sports. Can I get a picture with you?" My colleague whose name is Lisa shamelessly asked. She even cut me off when I was talking.

I wanted to retort back at her but I remained calm.

"No, I'm busy and I have something to catch up with." He responded politely.

"Huh? You're busy with what? Don't tell me it's her?" Lisa asked unbelievably while throwing me a spiteful look.

I just looked away.

"I will talk to you later, Miss." He said to me and walked away and I responded only with a nod.

I watched as Lisa gritted her teeth in anger.

"You!" She said and stormed off.

What did I do now?

Looking at the way everyone is staring at me, I can't really tell what they are all thinking, but all I know is that I've had haters in this hospital from the first day I started working as a nurse.

I went back to what I was doing, because I couldn't stand the side gossip of my colleagues anymore, I might lose control and say what I am not supposed to say.

I walked away mindlessly and bumped into someone.

"Can't you watch..." I gulped down the rest of the words at the realisation of who I bumped into.

"I'm so sorry, miss." He said and started picking up the stuff I was holding.

"Umm.. it's... It's umm okay, I wasn't watching where I was heading to, so I should be the one to apologize." I took the blame.

To tell the plain truth, I hated myself just now. I've never talked this much to a stranger before, especially a man. A f***king cute guy who any lady would swoon on.

"I'm fine and there's no problem at all." He said and flashed me those charming smiles that gave a glimpse of his white sets of teeth.

Does he have to smile all the time? Like, what's up with him.

I can't even imagine the fact that I was blushing.

"Excuse me sir." Lisa showed up again.

I saw this as an opportunity to escape from there.

I left immediately, sneakily though because I wouldn't want to be caught sneaking out of something that isn't even serious.

"How can I help you?" Landon asked but this time it wasn't polite at all.

I heard their voices from afar but I didn't bother to listen at all. I just got back to work.

The day hadn't even started properly and I was already feeling stressed out.

Work started and everyone became really busy.

More patients kept trooping in, some with severe injuries, while the others were rushed to the ICU, the others were taken into theater for a very serious surgery.

The whole place became rowdy and noisy.

And, from the little information I heard, there was an earthquake at Homesburge and it seems like the other hospital became flooded with patients and they started rejecting them, so some people had no other choice other than coming here.

I was running helter skelter, to and fro, attending to one patient or the other and also running errands for my senior colleagues.

I began feeling dizzy, a doctor noticed it and asked me to go take a test but I couldn't do that when the lives of others are at stake.

Seeing my hesitation, the doctor voiced out.

"Angelina, I said you need to rest, I didn't say that because of your own benefit but I said that because I don't want you to faint here as you can see everyone is busy." She spoke to me with sarcasm etched in her voice.

I thought she really cared.

What am I saying? No one has ever cared for me.

If not that she just bad mouthed me right now, I would have just described how stunning she looks.

I walked out of the emergency ward embarrassingly.

I don't know how it happened but I tripped on something... I was expecting a very hard pain but it never came.

Confused, I slowly opened my eyes and tilted my head sideways just to see a pair of well toned hands holding me.

And.... And.....

It's a male's hand.

Oh no no, I would become the talk of the week in this hospital.

I looked up to see Landon staring at me, his amber eyes staring inner my soul.

I started hearing side whispers and I guess my colleagues who were present there are the ones talking.

It wouldn't be long and the news of me having a romantic with a famous guy would spread all over the place.

They wouldn't mind adding a non existing scene, they just want to talk.

Immediately, I got angry. All these are happening because of Landon.

Can't he just stay on his own? Must he appear at all times?

I'm so pissed off right now that I just want to punch him on the face.

"Hi, I'm Landon." He said and smiled again.

This time it irritated me, not because his smile isn't cute but I guess my emotions were playing on me.

He stretched out his arms.

I looked at his face and looked at his outstretched hands and frowned deeply.

"You're Landon and so?" I said with all the sarcasm I could muster.
