Ch 7: Strings
Nirvana ran past the entry doors and headed straight for her office. “s**t, s**t, s**t this is crazy!!” she mumbled while finding the charts for her duty today because right now all she wanted to do was get her mind and thoughts away from all of what had happened.
“Was he serious? That i***t really expects me to fall for some 1800’s mafia storyline Ewwww”
Her steps were frantic and she was a total mess right now.
“I just have to avoid him now okay-“
“What are you muttering to yourself Niv. Internship years have already passed now” called a voice from behind. She turned around to see who it was and there stood Conner looking amused.
“Are you on with your charts? I also have the intern list assigned to you” he said while taking her dishevelled look in “You look terrible Niv.”
“Shut up Connor” Nirvana glared, for if only he knew that his almighty boss was the very reason for her state right now, “Let's just get going now will we?’
The hospital was never a busy day and Nirvana loved it every second here. There was a patient on her list today who suffered from a ventricular septal defect. The situation was generally rare but Nirvana always loved a good chance to save a life and take on a challenge. She had a few interns with her on this case today, one of them being Owen, and just a few minutes earlier she had seen the whole lot arguing about who would get on with this chance to scrub in. Nirvana smiled, she remembered her intern days also mainly consisted of getting up earlier just to work on an extra case and of course the very eternally annoying coffee errands. Hell one time a professor had also told her group of interns to do his laundry for a whole week and then Connor had stolen one of his dirty underwear from the lot and stuck them on his car.
“Let’s go check up on our patient shall we?” Nirvana said before turning to leave for the briefing. After a few whole minutes, they had every information about their patient and were working on every possible method to make sure the surgery would go as smooth as possible. The little girl was barely ten and she was just so adorable. Nirvana generally did not like kids like the fact that one got more emotionally attached with them on a case always put her on edge. But the little child in front of her with those hazel eyes holding on to her mother's finger for dear life really made her rethink her decision.
“Am I going to die mommy?” she whispered. Her mother who was sitting beside her hugged her tight but before she could say anything Nirvana crouched down to the child's level and whispered “Hi angel! You are definitely going to survive because we are the best doctors here who will save you so that in the future you can do and be anything you want to be along with your mommy and daddy.”
The little child looked up to the kind and beautiful doctor and slowly nodded, and before they left her mother thanked her for those kind words of reassurance.
“This is just one more reason why we cannot fail in the surgery to come, people.”
Just then a big man in suits and shades entered the room. “Dr Delaney, Mr Villin would like you to accompany him in his office for a minute as he has to discuss some urgent details,” the guard spoke. It was very weird seeing a man like this over here, especially when everyone in this hospital knew that their boss generally never sent his guards to do anything like this, and neither did he ever speak to doctors on matters. “According to Connor Zachariah Adonis Villin is the no one aloof boss anyone could think of, so right now what the hell is he doing by giving a basic public announcement to the whole hospital saying that he is calling me?!” She thought. Nirvana really wanted to punch his face right now but since everybody was basically watching now, either in shock or terror, she was literally helpless.
“Lead the way” she spoke before following the guard to meet the one person she thought she could have avoided if she really tried, but wasn’t she really forgetting that he was her boss’s boss’s boss? The world really was f****d up.
The elevator ride was so suffocating that Nirvana thought she would literally faint one more minute in there, and as soon as they reached the building they were supposed to, Nirvana’s phone buzzed. She quickly grabbed it out of her pocket only to see it was Connor, so she picked it up.
“NIRVANA DELANEY! Just what have you done now that our boss especially sent his guard to escort you to his office for a talk!!” he screamed. “YOU HAVE GOTTEN INTO TROUBLE AGAIN RIGHT MISS!!”
“Oh for dear heaven's sake Connor, even I have zero clues so as to why your boss is calling me [No maybe actually I do] He must be bonkers like you! So do not call me until and unless I am out the door now,” saying this she quickly cut the call. Only if he knew what kind of troubling s**t was happening, he would have literally bashed out his head and the murdered just about everyone there.
The guard stopped before a very beautiful entrance “Please enter Miss”
Nirvana paused for a moment and took in a great big breath. She had to face the evil boss and beat the f**k out of him.
“Finally you are here!” the voice inside the lavish office spoke. There sat Zachariah Adonis Villin looking as sinful as ever with a black suit on and his perfect grey eyes.
“I missed you Nirvana” he spoke with his husky voice that could make just anyone fall like a blob of pudding on a hot summer day in the pavements of New York.
“Stop the bull sir and let us just get to why you called me into your office?” Nirvana said, not even sparing a glance to him anymore. And in a swift motion Zachariah was already out of his chair and was walking towards her, “Tsk” he clicked his tongue, “What did I tell you about defiance Nirvana? Not that it does not turn me on bu-“
“Ew gross!” Nirvana shrieked before doing an attempt to what it looked like maybe trying to get out of his hold.
Zacahriahs temper was on thin ends now so he gripped her face and then made her look into his eyes “Do you understand Nirvana?” he menaced, his eyes looking like that of a hyena about to dig into its prey, but Nirvana still was not having any of it.
“I said DO YOU UNDERSTAND!” he now ordered while slightly tightening his grip around her, and as soon as possible Nirvana was also just as about thrashing in his grip like a fish just set out of the water. All of a sudden Zachariah let go of her and then started kissing her passionately, and this time even Nirvana was not holding back. He was so dangerous and just so fiendish, but it had been Nirvana’s style to take on any challenge she literally could. After a passionate make-out session, both parties were totally out of breath and panting.
“That meant nothing” Nirvana whispered still out of breath, but now moving backwards from him.
“My love, this just meant everything.”
She quickly hurried to get the door to save herself from any further mishappenings but before that Zachariah spoke up “Another reason why I called for you is that I would like for you to give me a chance over here Nirvana. We both are adults and I think that you know you really want this deep inside too.”
“That’s where you are wrong Zach. I do not want anything to do with anyone especially you. The kiss was a mistake and I am sure we will not be making any more of that from now on,” saying this she tried to pry the door open, but a pair of rough hands stopped her.
“Nirvana I am serious. You are mine and will be mine forever to keep. There is and will be nothing that will keep us apart from, love. I just want you to me that is all,” he whispered into her ears. By this time Nirvana was sure that if she would stay a second more then she was in high risk of catching huge ass feelings and that as the last thing on her list ever since him, so she did what she had to do. She was not for this at all so she kicked the door open and then ran.
