Code Kiss

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! “She’s crashing!” BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! “Clear!” BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! “Time of death…” BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Julie wakes up urgently from her deep sleep. She quickly grabs her phone to shut off her alarm. “Jesus fuck.” She mumbles as she rubs her face and eyes. “Jules! Get up! We got work in like 2 hours!” Julie grunts and slowly starts to lay back down. “Dude, don’t do it!” The voice from the other side of the door yells. A moment of silence passes. “I made coffee!” Julie sits back up and forces her way to the door. She opens the door and is greeted with a coffee cup in her face. She snatches it quickly, inhaling the rich coffee smells then proceeds to take a sip. Julie nods her head and walks towards their living room towards her window seat. She opens the window, setting her coffee next to her and lights up a cigarette. “Jesus Christ, Jules.” The girl comes into the room with her own cup of coffee and sits near Julie. “Ames, it was a long night.” Julie looks at her with sad yet unbothered eyes. Amy gives her a half hearted smile. “I know. You okay?” Amy asks as she leans towards Julie to try to comfort her. Julie leans back and away from Amy. “Yeah, I have to be. We did everything we could, you know?” Amy nods her head in agreement. Julie inhales the rest of her cigarette. She then gets up and makes her way to the bathroom. She quickly gets into the shower and washes up as fast as she could. Julie shuts off the water and wraps a towel around her body. She then walks out of the bathroom and heads into her room. She throws on some beige underwear and a basic beige sport b*a. She goes to another drawer and pulls out black scrub jogger pants and a black scrub top with even blacker roses across the top. Julie throws on her scrubs and makes her way back into the bathroom. She brushes out her long red hair to put it into a ponytail. She then puts on some basic coverup on. She looks at herself in the mirror. She’s been told she’s good looking but she doesn’t see it. She puts on some eyeliner and calls it good. Amy is already ready and is waiting at the door for Julie. Julie puts her shoes on, grabs her bag and walks out of the door. Amy sighs as she shuts and locks the door to their apartment. As Amy starts driving towards the hospital she glances over at Julie who is looking out the passenger side window. “You know, I’m here if you want to talk.” Amy says to Julie. Julie nods her head and says I know. Amy sighs. “Maybe we should get you a man. You know there’s a few cute doctors around.” Amy turns towards to look at Julie who is now staring at her like she has 3 heads. “What?” Amy asks as she keeps glancing between Julie and the road. “If this is about me getting laid don’t worry I have a to-“ Julie started to say when Amy interrupted her. “Oh my god! Jules! No!” Julie starts busting out laughing while Amy starts to join in on the laughter. “Jules no, honestly I was just thinking you might want to get yourself back out there. I know the s**t with Leon…” Amy trails off. “f**k Leon. And his new b***h too.” Julie says while pulling out another cigarette from her bag. Amy glances over to her. “Jesus Jules, not in my car.” Amy says while rolling her eyes. Julie looks over at her with her cigarette hanging from her lips. “I’m not going to smoke in your car, relax Ames.” Amy pulls into a parking spot at the hospital. “Well what are you going to do? Eat it?” Amy opens her door and grabs her bag. Julie climbs out of Amy’s car, stares directly into Amy’s eyes, takes the cigarette off her lips and proceeds to open her mouth and slowly put the cigarette in to act as if she is going to eat it. “You are legit disgusting.” Amy yells as she walks towards the hospital. “Love you too b***h!” Julie yells after her. Julie sighs and digs in her bag for a lighter. She finally finds one and lights her very needed cigarette. As she takes a huge drag, she leans up against Amy’s car. Suddenly she hears footsteps coming up to her behind the car. She turns to look. “You have got to be shitting me.” Julie didn’t even try to hide her disgust or anger. “Hey Jules.” The man says casually as if he never broke her heart. Julie takes one more drag off of her cigarette before putting it out and pushes off against the car. With her back towards the guy she lifts her middle finger in the air. “f**k you Leon.” Julie says as she walks towards the hospital. Leon jogs to her and gently grabs her arm to turn her to face him. “Whoa, why so hostile Jules?” Leon asks with a flirty smile and gently rubs her arm. Julie can feel a small buzz of energy, reminding her of a time when she craved his touch. Julie rips her arm away from Leon. “What the hell do you want Leon?” Julie asks while crossing her arms. Leon looks at her up and down l*****g his lips. “You being pissed off at me looks hot on you Jules.” Leon said stepping closer to Julie. She puts her hand up to his chest to stop him from coming closer to her. “No Leon.” Julie says firmly. Leon smiles at her trying to turn on the charm like before when he would screw things up. “Come on baby. You know I didn’t mean to.” Julie steps forward. “One, do not call me “baby”, you lost that right. Two, “didn’t mean to”?! It’s not like you forgot to pick me up from work or or that you ignored me for a few hours. No. You f****d your coworker in the back of your rig!” Julie screamed. “It’s f*****g over Leon.” Julie said as she walked away and towards the hospital entrance. “You can say that Jules. But we both know, you ain’t getting over me.” Leon calls after with a smirk across his face. Leon turns and walks towards his rig. A tall blonde stands next to it with the same uniform Leon has. “What the hell were you talking to Julie about?” The blonde woman sneers. Leon presses his body up against hers and starts kissing on her neck. A small moan escapes her lips. “Nothing baby. Now get in the back. I want to taste you before we get a call.” Leon says as he drags her to the back of the rig. The blonde woman follows, giggling the whole way.
