Days passed and my mind constantly went back and forth. Should I go see Natalie or not. I'd never played this game before. No chick had ever drilled her way into my head like Natalie did. Normally I fucked them once and never looked back. I didn't just want her once though. I wanted her over and over again. Explore every inch of that slender figure of hers.
The decision was already made for me. There was no way I could go another day without seeing her. I left the MC clubhouse against Emily's wishes. She thought I needed more rest before riding my motorcycle. I told her a man and his bike should never be parted. Emily didn't argue.
I approached my 2015 Harley Softail Slim with a smile. She was all black with “Hollywood” handlebars. She set me back ten grand but was worth every penny. One of the boys must have rode her here from the Stinky Goat—probably one of the prospects. He better not have damaged her. I quickly checked the paint for any chips or dings. It all looked good to me.
I swung my leg over and let my weight bring the bike down. I plugged my key in and hit the ignition. The familiar roar of the engine brought a grin to my face. I raced out of the line of parked motorcycles and hit the open road. I didn't even bother wearing my helmet. The wind blew through my shaved head as I weaved in and out of cars. Fuck safety...and the police.
I took my black Ray-Bans off when I reached the hospital. I parked in front and stared up at the giant skyscraper. The sudden realization that Natalie was a doctor hit me. The women I'd normally been accustomed with were strippers, bartenders, and prostitutes. Natalie was professional, intellectual, and way out of my league. No wonder she didn't want to go out with me. I played with the idea of leaving with my tail between my legs. But I was Breaker King. Member of the Devil's Hellions MC. Chicks formed lines to suck me off.
Natalie would be mine. Nothing would stop me.
The ER was dead as I strolled in, a lone nurse was standing behind the counter. She wore pink scrubs and was head-deep into some paperwork. “Hi there,” I said in a low voice, my charm literally oozing out of me.
The nurse looked up and flushed immediately. Her chest heaved up and down as she gazed at me behind her lashes. “What can I help you with?”
I played around with a pen on the counter, averting eye contact. “I'm looking for Doctor Holmes.” I glanced up at her. “Do you know where she is?”
The nurse gulped. “Umm, I believe she's taking a nap in room seven.”
The information was easy to obtain. Hopefully Natalie wouldn't yell at her later. It's not her fault she was putty in my hands. “Thank you so much.” I dropped the pen on the counter and swaggered down the hallway.
Up ahead a familiar doctor walked down the hall. It was him—Doctor Blue or Green—I couldn't remember which. What was he still doing here? Why didn't Natalie get him fired or arrested? He was different than before though. He kept his eyes trained to the floor with his shoulders slouched forward. My hands balled into fists and I thought about ending it all right here. One twist of his neck and the bastard would never be able to hurt Natalie ever again. But by looking at him, I knew, this boy would never harm a living soul again. He was safe...for now.
As I walked by, the doctor raised his head and his eyes went wide as they met mine. I raised my fists and cracked my knuckles, winking at him. The doctor went flying down the hallway screaming incoherently. I chuckled to myself and continued down to room seven.
I opened the door to discover Natalie laying peacefully on a hospital bed in a dark and empty room. I sat down in a chair and watched her sleep. Her full lips were parted just a little as she inhaled and exhaled. Her blonde hair was unbound and messy across the pillow. Natalie's chest expanded and contracted with every breath. She looked so serene, like the incident with the doctor never happened.
“How long have you been there?” she asked, rubbing her tired eyes.
I leaned back in the chair. “Only a few moments. I didn't want to wake you.”
Natalie sat up and yawned. “Don't you think this is a little creepy?”
Creepy? Maybe it was but I couldn't help myself, she looked so beautiful while she slept. “I didn't mean to alarm you.”
“No it's fine. The nurses jostle me awake for every small little thing. I might have a heart attack one day. So what are you doing here?”
That was a good question. Could I tell her that I couldn't stop thinking about her? No, that would be way too forward. Keep your cool, King.
“I just wanted to thank you for saving my life.”
She smiled. “You've already thanked me a million times. I was just doing my job. I should be the one doing the thanking. You saved me from that monster.”
I nodded. “I saw that doctor in the hallway. So he's still working here?”
Natalie sighed and her eyes went dark. “I thought about filing a complaint or going to the police. But have you seen the guy? Taking away his career just feels wrong. Whatever you did to him worked like a charm. He's now a shell of a man.”
My blood was boiling with rage. Just the thought of him hurting Natalie again made me want to do something bad. “For what he tried to do to you, he deserves worse than death. I can make him go away for good.”
Natalie reached out for me and her warm hand instantly calmed me down. “I don't think he's going to stay here much longer anyways.”
I nodded. I'd keep an eye on him. Make sure nothing ever happened like that again. “It was good to see you, Natalie.” I stood up and brushed off my jeans.
She looked confused and desperate as I walked to the doorway. “Leaving so soon, Breaker?”
“I have a lot to do today and not enough time to do it.” That was a complete lie. I had absolutely nothing to do today. I opened the door and began to walk away.
“I want to take you up on your offer,” she murmured. Her words made me stop in my tracks. “I'll get a drink with you.”
I turned back. “When is your shift over?”
Natalie glanced down to the small watch on her wrist. “Still have three hours left.”
“I'll pick you up at ten.” I left the room without giving her a second look but I knew she was beaming at me. She didn't know it yet, but she was already mine.
I walked by the same nurse at the counter and winked at her again. She melted in her shoes. I could kill a man with all this confidence.
