Would You Be Mine?

Sweet as Candy

Theresa felt her knees getting weak as she goes deeper into a kiss with Chad. She didn’t realize that she was already sitting back on his bedside, her body so close to Chad. He begins to explore his body.

“Ah,” Chad slightly jerked when Theresa’s hand reached the area in his chest where his wound was.

“Oh, my, I am sorry.” Theresa was quick to check Chad’s chest, the area where his incision was.

That was the scene that they were in when the nurse who was about to make her rounds came. She could not help but giggle and slightly blushed with the sight.

Theresa was quick to stand from the bedside and fixed herself. “Nurse, please replace his bandages and give him some painkillers.” She instructed the nurse while trying to hide the smile on her face. Chad winked at him. It made her blush.

‘I’ll see you later Mr. Alberty.” She began walking towards the door.

“I’ll be expecting you,” Chad naughtily replied.

The nurse went straight to his bedside to change the dressing of his wound. “You two look good together.” The nurse could not help but comment.

“I think so too,” Chad replied. He could not remove the smile from his face. It was their first kiss after all. Theresa’s hands smell like flowers while her lips tasted like sweet candy. Chad wanted more.

“Are you aware that you are blushing, Sir?” The nurse told Chad. The nurse felt comfortable with Chad. He was one of the most pleasant patients in the hospital.

“Really,” Chad was smiling from grin to grin. “Well I guess our dear Doctor has that effect on me.” He was too honest.

Theresa went straight to her office. She bowed her head while walking from Chad’s private room to her office. She can feel how hot her cheeks were. She was certain that she was blushing.

When she arrived at her office, she quickly locked the door and went to the bathroom. She looked at the mirror and confirmed her speculations. Her face was so red - either from almost being caught by the nurse or from the kiss.

They kissed. She touched her lips. She touched the area where Chad’s lips spent most of their time nibbling her. Her cheeks turned even redder.

She had several more rounds and an operation tonight. Theresa washed her face. It may help her calm her nerves. She brushed her hair and tied it in a bun. She reapplied her make-up afterwards. When she was certain that she looked more professional, she went out of her office to attend to her patients.

Chad ate his dinner alone. His father had to attend to one of their horses who was about to give birth. He decided to watch the television while eating.

Room service came after a few minutes and took his dishes. When he was left alone, he took the book Ravissant from his bedside table and began reading from the last chapter that he was reading before his visitors arrived earlier that day.

The heroine in the character finally found her lost friend in the human world, only to discover that she is the mother of the main lead character that happens to be her soulmate of sorts.

“I wonder how these writers imagine such scenes and circumstances?” He said to himself. He turned off the television to focus on his reading.

Meanwhile, Theresa was in the operating room. She was working on cardiac transplantation, a heart transplant for one of her patients. The young lad had a weak heart since birth and has been in and out of the hospital. After being on the UNOS list for almost two years, a heart was finally available for him. The heart came from an organ donor who just had died of a car accident and was brought to the nearest hospital closest to St. Mary's. Although someone had to die for this class to finally get an orthotopic cardiac graft, Theresa believes that it will not go to waste. With this new heart, this young man will grow older, be in love, build a family and have a long life to enjoy with his loved ones.

It took around four hours to complete the operation. When they finished, Theresa realized that it was already 11:00 PM. She promised to visit Chad after her rounds. After scrubbing, she went back to her office to change her hospital clothes. When she arrived at Chad's private room, he was already sleeping.

Theresa quietly entered to avoid waking up Chad. She picked up the book on the floor. It may have fallen when he fell asleep.

She smiled at the thought that Chad was reading a young adult novel. No one would ever think that with those biceps and that charming personality he has, deep inside he has a soft side that enjoys reading novels.

Chad moved. He opened his eyes and immediately saw Theresa who was just getting up after picking his book. “Hey, how long have you been here, what time is it?” He asked while blinking and scratching his eyes.

“It’s almost midnight. I had a last-minute surgery. Sorry If I woke you up.” She said, sitting beside his bed.

“No, it’s alright. I was waiting for you. I fell asleep reading.” Chad looked at her, smiling. “You looked tired.” He tucked the loose strands of Theresa’s hair at the back of her ear.”

“Yeah, a little. I was standing for four hours inside the operating room.” She unknowingly massaged the back of her shoulder with her right hand.

“Come here, I’ll give you a quick massage.” He pulled her closer, urging her to turn her back from him. He began massaging her left and right shoulder, just above their shoulder blades.

“A little bit higher please.” Theresa somehow felt the stiffness in her shoulder relieved.

Chad continued working on her shoulders. “Is the pressure enough?” He asked.

“Uhuh.” It was all Theresa managed to say. She was enjoying herself.

Chad tried to loosen up Theresa’s shoulder muscles. They were so stiff. “Do you always work long hours like these?”

“Yes…” Theresa barely managed to understand the question. She was enjoying the massage.

“How long is how long when it comes to working hours?” Chad was curious.

“An operation can go as long as 12 hours straight. The longest I have been awake working would be 52 hours.” She shared. She felt relieved with Chad’s message.

“Whoa, 52 hours. No wonder your shoulders are so stiff.” He blurted out. “Does this feel good?”

“Yes, actually.” She replied. She closed her eyes to feel even more relaxed.

“How about this?” Chad slightly breathed on the back of Theresa’s neck. He saw her skin shivered when he did.

“Better,” Theresa was enjoying herself.

“How about this?” Chad began planting kisses at the back of her neck, down to her shoulders.

“Hmmm…” Theresa was having the shivers. She could not control herself. She allowed Chad to explore her body.

Chad tried to go further. He pulled one side of Theresa’s blouse, revealing the top of her right breast. “Do you want me to stop?” Chad whispered.

Theresa was having a hard time comprehending. She was loving every bit of deed that Chad was doing to her.

“Just tell me to stop before it's too late.” Chad was having a hard time controlling himself too.

“Stop…” Theresa barely managed to say in between his breath.

“Are you sure?” Chad was barely controlling himself. He was almost out of breath.

“Yes,” Theresa said while moaning. “Let’s try to slow down.” Theresa’s wit was finally winning over her emotions.

Chad slowly stopped kissing her neck. He had a hard time controlling her breath. “I’m sorry,” he said. Chad embraced Theresa from behind. His hands-on her stomach while his cheeks rested on her back.

“I need to go now,” Theresa said, caressing Chad’s hands on her waist.

“Do you really have to?”

“I need to go home and rest.”

“Can you stay? Just this once?” Chad sounded like a child asking her Mom to stay for the night, begging her not to leave him alone for the night.

“Chad” Theresa groaned a little.

“I promise I won’t do anything.” Chad was sincere. “Unless you want me to.” He teased her a little.

“Chad,” Theresa was still hesitant but she was about to give in.

“I was just joking. Please stay. It can sometimes be too lonely.” Chad was pleading, his embrace tightening at his waist.

“Okay, just this once.” She said, turning to Chad, facing him. “And behave.”

Chad raised his right hand. “I promise.” She smiled widely.

“Scoot over.” She said she could lay beside him.

Chad placed his hand behind Theresa’s head. She placed her head there like it was her pillow. She gently embraced Chad, carefully avoiding the area in his chest where he had his operation incision.

Chad kissed her on the forehead.

“Goodnight,” Theresa said. In less than a minute, she was sound asleep.
