Chapter Twelve

“Is there something you want to tell us, Kinsey?”

Kinsey looked around the nurses’ station with confusion. Several of the staff were standing around with huge grins on their faces, all directed at her.

“Uh, not that I can think of,” she slowly answered.

“Really? Are you sure about that?” one of the women asked.

“Did I miss something? I know I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately, but you’re all acting a bit stranger than normal,” she said as she came around the counter to access the computer, her eyebrows furrowed.

She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw twelve vases lined up with a dozen roses in each one, all different colors, all beautiful. She got a really bad feeling, especially since she’d been finding single roses on her pillow for the past week. There’d been no notes, nothing, but she had no doubt they were from Austin. How could she continue to resist him when he acted so romantic? Her heart picked up as she stared at the myriad of colors before her.

“Come on. Spill,” one nurse demanded.

“I…” Kinsey hesitated, at a complete loss for words.

“It looks like there may be a good reason you aren’t getting enough sleep,” another nurse commented, then giggled.

“I’ve just been working long shifts,” Kinsey defended.

“That’s not all I’ve heard. We heard there was some late night activity in your on-call room,” Kathy said. She’d been hired the same time as Kinsey, and the two had become close the past year.

“What?” Kinsey gasped, feeling her cheeks heat up, hating that she was signing her guilty papers without saying anything.

“Yeah, Michelle said she walked by and heard a moan, and that it certainly wasn’t pain filled, if you know what I mean.”

“I…I don’t know what you guys are talking about. You know how rumors spread in the hospital,” Kinsey said, knowing she was wasting her breath. She would’ve been right there with them, teasing whoever had gotten lucky, if she weren’t the one on the receiving end. There was no privacy in the hospital. She knew that – but when she was with Austin, she forgot everything.

“Well, we might have been convinced that you were only having a really, really great dream, if not for the dozens of thank-you-for-the-best-sex-of-my-life-roses,” Kathy said with a laugh.

Kinsey was torn between wanting to throttle Austin and wanting to give him a reason to give her three times as many roses. She’d received flowers before, but not at her workplace, and never so many. She shouldn’t have made that comment in the store…

“How do you know they’re even mine?” Kinsey said. Maybe, just maybe, there wasn’t a card attached.

“Sorry, it’s not a roomful, there’s always tomorrow.”

“The only thing more beautiful than your smile is your eyes.”

“Your scent sets me on fire.”

“I can’t stop thinking about you.”

“I dream of nothing but you.”

“I bought a rose for every moment of pleasure you gave me last night.”

“Oh my gosh, that last one made my heart pound. I swear, if you don’t want the guy, I’ll take him.
