Chapter 17

Worth it

Tom stalked down the corridor to his office, holding onto the last of his patience by a thread. He knew from what Frankie had revealed when her guard was down that she liked him. Bloody hell, she had even said that she loved him.

He could see how she reacted when he got close; her body would still and she’d even hold her breath she was so tense. A woman did not have that reaction with a man unless she was crazily attracted to him. Despite this he was not having any success in his attempts to spend time with her.

Even after helping her decorate a goddamn cake all day (something which he never thought in a million years he would have enjoyed, but standing next to her in that small kitchen, smelling her perfume, watching her hands effortlessly create beauty with such skill, precision and speed, he couldn’t think of anywhere he’d rather have been) he still wasn’t breaking through.

After delivering the cake he’d driven her back to her flat and had decided to finally sort things out with her with no distractions. When they arrived her door was ajar. He thought this was weird as Lou had assured him that she would be gone till late evening, and he was sure he’d heard Frankie shut it as they left. He was further alarmed that on seeing the door Frankie’s face drained of all colour, and she proceeded to usher him towards the exit in a manner which seemed almost desperate.

She was hiding something.

She knew what was behind that door and she didn’t want him to see it.

His first instinct was that someone might have broken in and she could be in danger going alone. But after witnessing her reaction and how frantic she was for him to leave he decided to let her keep her secrets for now, and not force anything before she was ready to trust him.

It was a mistake.

He should have pushed his way in, found out what she so desperately wanted to keep from him, and then made sure that she knew the way it was going to be between them. Since he left she hadn’t taken any of his calls, and had gone back to avoiding him completely. After what he’d told her on Saturday, and the level of attraction she obviously felt for him, her behaviour was bizarre, and he had decided once and for all that he was going to get to the bottom of it.

There were two people he needed to speak to and he’d tracked at least one of them down in the medical registrars room.

As he pushed open the door to the cramped room lined with computer screens he was assured yet again that his decision not to pursue a career in general medicine was the right one. There was no way the cardiology registrars would put up with this shoebox. Then again there was no way they would put up with being the dogs’ bodies of the hospital like the medics did.
