Between sniggers, Nickie dragged Coltrain under the mistletoe, attracting the attention with whom it was surrounding them, and indicated up with the hand. The doctor laughed softly, surrounded the narrow waist of Nickie with his strong arm and pressed it against yes. Then, he inclined the head and kissed her of a way that made feel Lou terribly heated. It had never pressed her hard this way between his arms, they nor had kissed her, but he had dreamed of it infinity of times. With the cheeks red clouds, it hurried to separate the look.
- Cooper always attracts the most nice girls - there commented laughing Ben Maddox, who also had observed the scene-. This kiss is going to be the gossip of the hospital for one month. And it is curious, because in general he is not like that of uninhibited. The alcohol owes be raising itself to the head.
Lou pressed in his hand the glass of pineapple strained that it was taking.
- With regard to this system that it wants to sell to us, the truth is that yes that is a little expensive - murmured with a forced smile, changing topic.
- Good, I cannot deny it to him - Ben agreed-, but also we have others similar, although not so finished and versatile, that he might be fine very much to a small hospital as it it is that of Jacobsville. In fact...
Ben's voice turned into a monotonous noise, and Lou you grieve if it could concentrate what he was saying to him when with the rabillo of the eye he saw Coltrain and Nickie dancing given one to other.
The alcohol and the mistletoe continued doing of theirs during the party. Ben and some that another member of the personnel of the hospital offered to extract Louise to dancing, but the young woman was not of humor, and after a pair of hours he decided that it was not painting anything there. She was feeling humiliated. Coltrain had made her go, and was going the whole night ignoring her.
- I believe that I leave to house - he said goodbye of Ben, pressing the hand hard-. I have been sick and yet I do not sit down completely well, but I it have loved knowing.
- The same thing I say - answered Ben-. By the way: has he seen Drew Morris? He was hoping to be able to greet it while I am in the city, and was thinking that it would come this night.
- Since the truth is that not, and yes that is rare that has not come - she murmured, falling down in the account of which it was not known anything about him since they had given him the discharge.
In this moment Coltrain appeared along with them, with Nickie hung by his arm.
- Golly: does it continue here? - said the doctor to Lou with a mocking smile-. He was thinking that it would have already gone away.
- I was leaving right now - answered she sharply-. He was dismissing me of mister Maddox, when he has asked me for Drew. Do you know why you have not come?
- It is in Florida, in a seminar of paediatrics - answered Coltrain-: did not Brenda say it to him?
- Not, I suppose that with so much work as we have had it would forget to be commented to me.
- Good, when it should return say to him that it has given me many anger not to see it, Cooper-, Ben murmured with a smile.
- Insurance that to him also - Lou intervened, making use of the moment to say goodbye. He was already not supporting any more the honeyed looks that Nickie was directing him to Coltrain-. Good, I go away...
- Ah, not, still not - answered the doctor with a naughty sheen in the eyes-. It cannot go away without they have kissed her under the mistletoe, confers a doctorate. Or is it that it does not want to be lucky in the year that it brings in?
Louise blushed and allowed to escape a nervous laugh.
- It seems to me that I will do without this small ritual - he said.
- Since it seems to me that not - he restored.
The tone of his voice was a joker, but not this way the expression of his face. It separated from Nickie, surrounded Lou's waist with his arm, and took her under the branches of mistletoe that were hanging by the roof with a bond of red velvet.
- This time will not escape - he said to him with hoarse voice.
And before Lou was asking to think, to react, or to protest, Coltrain had inclined the head and his lips had taken theirs with fierceness. With the arm that it had concerning his waist, it attracted her towards yes until it was completamente given to his muscular body, and raised the free hand up to his face, caressing him sensualmente the lips with the thumb while it was kissing her, until it achieved that the entreabiera. Coltrain introduced then the language in the mouth of the young woman, and she wailed against his will. In other circumstances he would have enjoyed the wonderful sensations that it was experimenting with this kiss of which so much he had dreamed, but to have to experience that one for the first time in front of the staff almost to the finished one of the hospital, between hisses and laughs, it did that it wanted to kill Coltrain.
When he raised to the end the head, he continued observing the puffed up lips of the young woman, and caressed them softly with the thumb, to look later for a long time in his chestnut-colored eyes opened as plates, before to release it unwillingly.
- Happy Christmas, there confers a doctorate Blakely - mocker said to him, but with the hoarse voice.
- And, doctor Coltrain answered you she, after swallowing saliva, and unable look at it again at the eyes-. Good night, Ben... Nickie.
It went towards the rear door of the place, where it was celebrated holiday, with the legs him trembling as if they had returned him of gelatine and the lips burning him for the passionate kiss.
The eyes of Coltrain had continued her hypnotized. It had never experienced anything equal: it was burning of desire. Suddenly, Nickie him pulled the sleeve of the dinner-jacket, it returning wing reality.
- You have not kissed me this way - he protested, doing stews with his nice lips color ruby-. Why do not you take me to house and ...?
- Now I return - he spluttered without listening to her, coming undone and going towards the exit.
Nickie saw it moving away irritated, blushing for the humiliation that had pushed it back in public. After they had gone together to that charitable dinner it had lodged hopes that it was calling her to go out, but it had not been like that, and although the kiss that had given him down the mistletoe had been very well, that had given to his assistant had made it turn pale for contrast. It gathered the suspicious frown. That one was very rare, it was said. And, without thinking two times, it went also at the edge of behind. It was going to find out what happened.
Coltrain, without knowing that Nickie was following it, going behind Lou. That kiss had made it hungry of more, and was sure almost that to her also, but it had to make sure. It could not allow to leave up to knowing it.
Lou was to a few meters of his vehicle when it heard his steps behind her. He knew perfectly about whom it was talking each other itself and he pressed the step, but Coltrain did other so much, and when she came along with the car, he had given him scope.
Coltrain seized her for the arm, making her be turning, and before Lou could react, was of backs against the door of the car, under the weight of the strong and warm masculine body. Lou lifted the look. It could not distinguish the expression in the face of Coltrain, since his features were between shades for the darkness of the night, but his clear eyes seemed to flash.
- It has not been enough - it murmured with hoarse voice.
And, without saying more, he bent the head and his lips descended on those from her, kissing her with skill. It took Lou's hands, interlacing his fingers, at the time that it was pushing sensualmente his hips against those of her.
Louise felt how the language of Coltrain was interfering for between his teeth, and he was starting dancing with his and exploring every corner of his warm moisture. His fingers stuck to those of him, and a delightful chill covered it of above below. That one was so intimate, so pleasant.... Coltrain pushed again his hips against those of her, this time rhythmically, and Lou was cut the respiration on having noticed his excitement.
The kisses of his chief became more insistent, and one of his ha
nds rose up to Louise's lips, them to stimulate as it had done inside, only that the heat and the magic that was taking place between them in this moment were going very much further away. An intense groan left the gullet of Coltrain, and Lou noticed how all his body was tightened.
Suddenly, on having tasted the flavor to Whiskey in the language of the doctor, the young woman recovered the reason and was thinking about comprising what happens. Coltrain had drunk too much and was not realizing what it was doing in reality, whom it was kissing. For him, in this moment, she could be Nickie, or any other one.
The flavor and the smell of Whiskey brought disagreeable memories to the young woman of his father, memories of pain and of fear, and that one, together with the conviction of which Coltrain only was under the effects of the alcohol, it did that the pleasure that moment had been experienced even eses was disappearing completely. His hands pushed the doctor for the breast with all his forces, but it was too weighed for her, and it had her stingy with steadfastness for the waist.
- Not ... it is enough ... - it requested him, giranfo the face.
Coltrain did not seem to hear her. It started printing humid kisses for all his gullet and gruñó, as irritated by his sudden rejection.
Lou was starting being scared. It writhed in his hug, panting.
- Jebediah ... not! - he begged him frantic.
The fear in his voice was what it did that he was recovering the control. His lips stopped on his gullet, but n or it separated. Louise could feel every centimeter of his body as if it was a white hot iron. The respiration of Coltrain had become labored, and against his breast, Lou noticed his heart beating with the force of a drum.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize what he had been doing, and with whom.
- God! - it mumbled breathing heavily.
His fingers fixed to themselves a moment in the feminine waist before releasing it, and it trembled lightly on having detached his body of of her slowly, supporting the hands in the car not to lose the balance. It remained like that, fighting to silence the excitement that still was shaking it, and Lou felt his breath on his puffed up lips. Still it was too much close.
- Earlier I had never called for my Christian name - it murmured Coltrain, separating finally from her-. It was not known that he knew it.
- It was ... in the contract that we sign - she stuned remembered him.
He gave a step backwards, rubbing the face.
- I am afraid that I have drunk too much - he laughed, as asking for excuses-. Normally I usually not take any more than a pair of glasses. I suppose that I have allowed myself to take for the Christmas spirit.
The mouth was hurting Lou for the violence of his kisses, and one was noticing the very weak legs. It had a short rest against the door of the car, warning for the first time the cold of the metal. It had not noticed it by no means while he had been kissing her.
I separate from the automobile, lowering the alarmed sight.
- I believe that I also will go away to house - it jabbered Coltrain, staggering a little, meanwhile the red-haired hair was combing with the fingers.
- He should not drive in this state - Lou said to him.
- Worried by me, does he confer a doctorate?-inquirió he with a sardonic smile.
Lou became moreover red of what was, being sorry that his mouth had betrayed her.
- I would worry for anyone that had drunk of more - he answered him.
- Excuse, not the violentaré more - it murmured Coltrain-. And neither it has to worry for me. Nickie drives, and does not drink, so I will ask him to take.
Nickie... Nickie would take it to house and probably it would remain after he "takes care", Lou was said, feeling that the jealousy was devouring her again.: " not! ", it re-caught fire irritated, " this is not my matter ".
- Then I leave - he said to him sharply.
- Drive carefully.
Lou opened with awkwardness his purse, extracted the keys, and to point it was of dropping them to the soil. It got into the car, lit the engine and moved away, seeing for the rear-view mirror as Nickie was approaching up to where Coltrain was.
CHAPTER 6
The head was turning Coltrain. He would never have dreamed that to kiss the lips of a woman could become anything so explosive, not so addictive. He had met many women, but Louise Blakely had something that it was doing that the knees were weakening him. He was not managing to imagine what could have woken up in him a similar passion that was making him even go after her. Only God knew what could have happened if she had not separated it.
Nickie remained hung of his arm when they entered again the room of holidays his overcoats and the purse of her.
- You have the whole mouth spotted with his carmine - Nickie accused it, extracting it of his thoughts.
He observed a moment in silence. Nickie was a nice girl and without complications, and, moreover important, he knew that he did not want anything serious. That thought, in contrast with the turbulent relation with his assistant, relaxed it.
- Clean it to me - he said to him with a mocking smile, extracting a handkerchief of the pocket.
Nickie took it and, while it was doing it, asked him with flirtation:
- Do not you want to prove different mine time?
- This night not - Coltrain answered him, giving him a few toquecitos in the nose with the index-. Would you take me to house? The latter days I have had a lot of work and am done dust.
- Skylight - Nickie agreed, trying not to prove to be itself very disappointed.
At least it was she the one that was taking it to house, and Blakely does not confer a doctorate on her, it was said, trying to console itself. He was not going to resign him without fighting, not when to know it was the best thing that had happened to him in a lot of time. One was not finding a single and good-looking surgeon every day.
Already in house, and knocked down in his couch, Lou remained stuned by what had happened. He could not understand that a man who hated her since him seemed to have hated her from the beginning, suddenly it will kiss her with similar passion in front of the whole personnel of the hospital, and it was following her out, kissing her again with an ardor still mauro. If it should not be for it confused that he was feeling, he might say that that had been the most sweet night of his life. In any case, it was said that it had to try to support the feet in the soil, and to remind to him that that one had not been any more than an outlying incident, propitiated only by the festive ambience and the alcohol. If Coltrain had not drunk of any more, it would never have happened.
Lou allowed to escape a groan of frustration. God!, it was more and more in love with him, and probably that one only would distance them moreover, because when Coltrain was sober again and remembered what it had spent, he would feel furious with it itself for having lost the head, and would try to forget completely the episode and would do as if she did not exist.
To try not to think about it, the following day, Saturday, it was doing cleanliness of all the booths and cupboards of the house, but about six o'clock in the afternoon it received a call of the hospital that extracted it of his pigeonholes. On Sunday she was going to have the free day, but the doctor Coltrain had called to the hospital to say that his assistant would have to replace it because it was going to be out of the city until Monday morning.
Kind what on his part to have consulted him earlier!, thought Lou, done a fury. At least it could have been said to her directly, instead of doing it across others.
And this way, on Sunday, Lou was of guard the entire day, and warned that many nurses and other members of the hospital were looking at her when they were crossing with her, containing sonrisillas and whispering when they were moving away. Probably the kiss that Coltrain had given him down the mistletoe still was giving about what speaking. Perhaps they even believed that there was something between them.
- Eh, Lou!: how does it you go? - Drew greeted her when they were in the foyer of the pavilion of urgencies-. They have said to me that I got
lost a kiss of movie under the mistletoe in the holiday of Christmas - he added maliciously.
She blushed up to the root of the hair.
- Many people kissed under the mistletoe - it spluttered.
- Yes, but it seems that no kiss was so spectacular as that certain red-haired doctor gave to you ... - insisted Drew-. I believe that this doctor even followed you up to the parking and almost love made you on the hood of your car - he added laughing between teeth.
Lou frowned and looked at it open-mouthed.
- Who are you ...?
- Nickie - he answered, confirming what his friend was afraid-. Good, although Brenda has told it to me. As it seems, Nickie saw you in the parking, and she is crazy for Cooper, so I suppose that he should have believed that he would forget you if he was making to cover rumours on you, because he knows or much that Cooper detests the gossip. And, knowing how the people like the gossip, you can already imagine that a rumour like that on two doctors who throw to themselves the trastor to the head has spread as the gunpowder.
- Oh, God, this will come to ears of Coltrain as soon as it returns tomorrow - Lou wailed distressed-. What can I do?
- Not at all, I am afraid - Drew murmured.
Pero Lou half-closed the eyes.
- We already will see it.
It was turned on the heels and went to look for Nickie. He found her in one of the rooms of the second plant, and rested on the frame of the door, with face of few friends and the crossed arms, waiting patiently for that will end with the patient to whom he was attending.
When it had finished and saw her there, Nickie looked at her with apprehension. Lou did to him a gesture with the head and both went out to the corridor.
Lou was too tight against yes the folder that was going in the hand.
