Fate Intervened

Massage

MIKE

I can not believe that this beautiful woman next to me is suggesting that I should lay my head on her lap. This is definitely my lucky night and I should always walk her home if this means that I can lay on her lap.

"That is so nice of you to offer and I am sure that this might help me feel much better but are you sure about that? I do not want to be a burden"

I can not help but wish that she would insist.

AMY

I can not help but feel a little bit insecure about suggesting that he must lie his head on my lap but the doctor knows the best and I guess I should listen to her.

"It is really okay. I would not have asked you if it were a burden to me, so please..."

I watch as he hesitantly lays his head on my lap but I can not help us all kinds of emotions running through me when his head touches my lap.

MIKE

Damn, I knew that this woman was beautiful but from this angle, she exceeds all that I thought was beautiful in my life. The way that her hair falls down her shoulders and her eyes just staring at me with affection and tenderness written in them.

I can not help but feel instantly turned on by her and I hope that she does not see what she's doing to me. But as my head touch her lab I can not help but feel like I really needed to lay down now. I feel as an extreme peace commands my being to rest and with that, a moan escapes my mouth.

"Aahh...that feels so damn good. Thank you"

AMY

I can see as he feels completely comfortable on my lap and I struggle to keep my hands to myself. I want to play with his raven black hair just massaging his head with my fingers and making him feel much more comfortable. Then suddenly I have a thought. He does have a migraine and it might help if I massage his head this way I can play with my fingers through his hair.

I watch him as he closes his eyes and then I put my hands in his hair. Then he opens his eyes and looks at me with a smile on his face. Suddenly I realized that I should have asked before just doing it. I quickly take away my hands and say.

"Oh god, I am so sorry. I didn't realize-"

He grabs my hand that is still in the air and then he interrupts my mumbling.

"You really didn't do anything wrong. It felt amazing"

I can not help as I feel a blush creeping up on my cheeks and then I say.

"... I mean, I just wanted to give you a massage because I know you have a migraine? And I thought that-"

I still feel his hand on my hand and then he says.

"You really don't have to ask permission. Please go ahead. I beg of you"

MIKE

The moment that I felt her hands in my hair I almost couldn't believe that she is actually doing it and I wanted to open my eyes to see it for myself but then she stopped. Everything in me wanted her to continue. Now, I'm holding my breath hoping that she will continue.

Then I feel as she puts her hands in my hair again and her magical hands start to massage my head. With every touch that she massages my head, I can not help but feel completely aroused by her. I try my best to hide my arousal and hope that she doesn't see anything.

As she continues to massage my head so masterfully, I can not help as another moan escapes my mouth.

"Damn…you are talented. Where did you learn to do that? You're amazing"

AMY

I can not help as the blush of earlier on, starts to increase into a deeper red color. The way that he expresses his feelings is something that I am not used to. He's not afraid to tell you how he feels and then he says it with so much passion.

"Oh, this? I must say I have actually never done this before. I am glad that I am doing it the right way. Is it helping your migraine?"

MIKE

I think that this massage is helping a little bit more than just my migraine because it is definitely helping other parts of my body too.

"You definitely hit the spot. Thank you for doing this by the way. I am beginning to feel much better"

I can not help but liking this woman more and more by the second. I wish that this night can carry on forever and we can just stay on these steps. I would hate for it to come to an end. I need now, more than ever before, to get to know this woman because everything I have seen about her so far makes me, even more, intrigued to get to know her.

AMY

It is strange how something so simple as putting my fingers in a strange man's hair can throw an independent, strong woman like me, completely off-guard. I feel as all my self-control is beginning to walk out the door and a desire starts to make a fire in my heart for him.

"Then I am very happy I could make your migraine feel better in some way"

I stare at the man lying on my lap and I start to memorize his handsome features. I see that the muscles on his arms are trying to break through his tight shirt. Then my pager goes off and I almost jump as I was so focused on him.

I quickly take out my pager and I see it is one of my patients with a 911. I know that I need to go immediately but I struggle to get myself away from this enigma of a man. But I do not have a choice.

"I'm sorry but I have to go"

Nothing in me wants to get off these steps right now. I want to just sit here with him on my lap and play with his hair. This has brought me more peace than many things that I tried to bring me peace of mind. I can not believe what kind of effect this man has on me. But then I hear my pager goes off again and I know that Jen will not do this to me unless it was important. So, I stand up and he stands up next to me.

"I am so sorry but I have to go. Thank you, for trying to walk me back home but I have to go"

MIKE

Just when I had the best time that I have had in a very long time she gets up from the steps and she wants to leave. I do not want her to leave but then I do not know her well enough to make her stay. I want to get to know this woman even better.

"Oh, of course, yes. I understand"

"Well…it was good running into you again and I hope that your migraine feels much better?"

I shake my head a little bit trying to test out my migraine and then I answer her.

"Yes, much better thank you so much for what you did for me. Not anyone would do something like that for anyone"

AMY

I watch as he blushes while he speaks those words and I can not help but feel completely consumed by him. Then my pager goes off again and I know that I better go immediately because Jen would only send me three pages when it is a matter of life and death.

"I have to go. Goodbye"

MIKE

No, she can not run away from me again. I need to get at least a phone number and make an effort.

"Wait!"

I watch as she turns around hesitantly as I know that she must be in a hurry.

"Yes?"

"Can I at least have your number?"

AMY

I want to give him my phone number but I do not have time for this. Then suddenly I have thought. As I start walking away, I scream back at him.

"I don't have time but I'll meet you at the cafe tomorrow, same time?"

"You can count on it!"

As I start to run I can not help but have a big smile on my face. Just thought that I will be seeing him tomorrow again is enough to fill my being with happiness.

MIKE

I can not believe that one woman can make me fall so hard for her in such a small amount of time. She has me hook, line and sinker. As I watch her running away I can not help but think of the thought that I might see her tomorrow night again.

Then, it is as if I realize what is going on in my body and I know that I am not well at all. I sit back down on the steps with my hands on my head and then I call my driver to come and pick me up. I know that I have pushed myself too far but I can not help smile just thinking of spending a little bit of time with her. Oh, and then I had the honor of lying on her lap for a while.

I can not help as my thoughts go back to my previous girlfriends and I realized that none of them had so much affection for me. The best of all is that she is not even my girlfriend. Can she be such an amazing woman?

As my driver arrives, I gesture to him to help me to get into the car as I feel completely weak. Frank, has been my driver for almost my entire life and he has become somewhat of a father figure to me. Of course, he has something to say to me.

"Mr. Sanders, you know that you can not walk so far?"

"Yes, Dad…I know"

"Then, if I may ask, sir. With all due respect. Why did you do it?"

I can not help but just smile at him and he instantly knows what I mean.

"Aahhh... A girl?"

"Yes, but not any girl. The girl"

He just shakes his head and laughs at me as I have been with many girls before. But I know in my heart that this woman is not like all the other women that I have dated in my life. This one is special and I will make sure that she knows it, tomorrow.

AMY

I get in the hospital completely out of breath but I know that I didn't do it in vain. It is one of my older patients and I do not intend to let her down.

"Doctor, she went into cardiac arrest about ten minutes ago. We have been doing CPR for almost the entire time and she is not reacting to shock therapy"

Jen is always ready to get me up to date and then I know exactly what I need to do. I walk into the room and then say to the nurses.

"Quickly, glove me. Get me a ten blade and the retractor. Get this patient sterile as quickly as possible and then all unnecessary personnel leave the room"

Everyone jumps around like rabbits trying to do exactly what I say and then I make my way to the patient reopening his incision. It doesn't take me long to get to her heart and I start to massage it. I look at the monitor as I do it and then speak to my patient.

"Come on, Mrs. Grayson! You can not give up on me now!"

I stop to massage her heart and look at her heart to see if it's going to start beating again. But nothing is happening. I take a deep breath and then I start to massage her heart again.

"You still have to see your grandkids. Don't give up now!"

I turned to the nurse that is doing CPR and then I say.

"Stop everything now!"

I stop to massage her heart and then I watch the monitor carefully. I have been here many times before and I know that only time can save this heart.

"Come on!"

A nurse that is clearly new in my department then says to me.

"Dr. Houston, it is clearly too late?"

I turn to her and say with complete confidence.

"It is never too late"

Then I hear the familiar beat of the heart beating on the monitor. I can not help feeling relieved and also a little bit confident. I turned to the nurse and then say.

"You must be new here?"

The nurse has nothing to say in return and then I tell Jen to finish closing the patient. I tell her what to do with the patient and what medicine she needs.

"...I am going home now. Please don't let any of my other patients try to kill themselves while I get my much needed sleep?"

Jen just laughs at me and then I turn around smiling while I make my way back home.
