Chapter Thirteen
Tabitha
âYouâre being really quiet today, Tabberoni.â
I stop looking out the window and look back at Brody. Brody. The man who is so good looking he could be in magazines or on book covers. Brody, who gave me the best orgasm in my life and he did it with his mouth. Brody who is driving us to meet my family and is going to pretend to be in love with me.
That Brody.
The same Brody who I wish was in love with me⦠because I think I could be in love with him.
I shake off that thought and try and concentrate on the here and now. Iâm worrying about how this weekend is going to go, so itâs not easy.
âNo. You are not allowed to even repeat that nickname again, Brody Miner.â
âWhat? Itâs a great name! You love pepperoni pizza so calling you Tabbââ
âIf you say it again, Iâm getting out of this car and facing my family alone,â I warn himâhoping he doesnât call my bluff.
âSo another hard no,â he answers. Heâs staring at the road, but I watch as his lips spread into a smile.
âYouâre such a goofball,â I laugh. âAnd here I thought Dr. Brody Miner was all business and didnât have a personality.â
âIs that really what you thought?â he asks, sounding surprised.
âYou have a reputation for being very short with the staff at the hospital, especially the nurses. Besides, do I need to remind you how you were with me before my sister showed up. God, I still canât believe you agreed to all this. Itâs embarrassing as heck.â
âDo you see me complaining? Considering whatâs happening between us, Iâm happy as fuck your sister showed up,â he says.
âHappy as fuck?â I giggle. âI hope you donât use that kind of language on your patients.â
âI save it for people I like playing doctor with,â he says with a smirk. He turns to look at me as he says the wordsâprobably so I could see how cocky he looks when he says themâand then turns back to the road.
âWhatever,â I answer, because Iâm not sure what to say in response to be honest.
âAnd I will have you know, I worked hard to get my reputation at work.â
âYou worked hard to get to be known as Dr. Asshole?â
âIs that what they call me?â he asks sounding mildly interested.
âPretty much. There are a few more colorful ones, but thatâs the gist of it really.â
âIâll take it,â he shrugs. âIâm cordial, but I donât have time to socialize. Most nurses spend their time coming on to me and not doing their work. I call them on their shit. The others seem professional and Iâm not going to sugar coat things for them when they mess up. They learn nothing that way and honestly peopleâs lives are in their handsâthey need to be conscientious.â
âIâm a nurse. Iâm conscientious, believe it or not. When Iâm already having a bad day, the last thing I need is a doctor to jump down my throat.â
âIââ
âIâm just saying that thereâs a way to be professional and kind.
