Changes

Walking back through the doors of the NICU was one of the hardest things I ever have had to do. It had broken my heart in two when I found out he had passed away and shook my confidence.

I was his nurse, I was supposed to be the strength when his mom wasn't. I finally scrubbed and entered smiling and saying hi to everyone. Dr. Eric Mullin was on duty today. He was young, good looking and successful. I might be the only nurse that didn't fall all over him every time he spoke. He had a beautiful wife and two small children whom he bragged about constantly. I often felt bad because the nurses never knew when to quit. They openly hit on him, even when his wife Mischa was visiting him for lunch.

I spent the morning collecting vitals from my little babies and talking on the phone with Brendan. I had tomorrow and the next day off and promised he could stay with me both nights. My sister and her husband were "so busy with work". He had soccer practice tomorrow night and I promised to take him. I never got tired of having him with me. I never understood why people had children and then put them on the back burner while life happened. I couldn't wait to have children one day and although it seemed like my biological clock was ticking, I knew I had time.

Right before noon, Dr. Mullin stopped me. "Come on, let's go grab lunch. You look down." I agreed and we set out for the diner across from the hospital. "So Callee how are you?" he asked quietly.

"I'm ok, I know death is a part of the NICU. I'm dealing with it."

He smiled warmly at me. "See you and I are alike. We both actually care about the children with us. It isn't just a job." I nodded in agreement. "So what do you do besides work here? I don't ever hear you taking up any of the girls on their offers to go out clubbing."

I just shrugged. "Not too much my thing. I stay busy with my nephew, doing things with him." He looked at me strangely.

"No boyfriends?" He asked.

I just smiled. I'm seeing someone, but he is really busy with work so it is rather casual."

"Well you are beautiful, young and smart. I'm not sure why you haven't had more offers but if you ever feel the need to release some of your tension, I'm here. I can make you feel amazing. I promise you that."

I sat there stunned. I never imagined he was the type to cheat and I never given him any indication of being interested. I got up and he signaled for the check. "Just think about it Callee, it's awful lonely without someone."

I looked and him and snapped back "well isn't that what your wife is for?"

He grinned. "I'm only in it for my children." I stared at him in disgust before announcing I was taking the rest of the day off. I was annoyed and needed to have some fun. I stopped by my apartment and changed into jeans and a long sleeve shirt. I grabbed the car from the garage, made some phone calls and headed across the bridge knowing who could make me smile. Besides, I owed him another apology.

I pulled up to the rink and walked inside. I walked towards the crowded rink. I was surprised there was a good amount of people there for a weekday. I found an empty spot in the bleachers and sat down. Andrej noticed me first waving. A few seconds later he signaled to Max and pointed at me.

He looked up and gave me the biggest smile. It made me tingle inside and I am sure I blushed. Once practice was over I sat and waited for Max to shower. He came out in jeans and a t-shirt, with his glasses on, which drove me wild. "Come on, I have a surprise for you" I said, grabbing his hand.

When I got him to destination he gave me a huge hug and a soft, shy kiss. "This is perfect, I need this so bad right now." he said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the door.

Our massage therapists happened to be a guy and a girl. Erin looked about 24 and model-like. She was beautiful and I knew Max would love her. My therapist was name Gene and looked like he was on steroids and straight off the beach. He had muscles rippling across his chest and arms. I knew my tension would be no match for him.

They left the room so we could undress, Max wasted no time getting bare-assed naked, before slowly wrapping a towel around himself and smirking at me. "Your turn."

I took my time sliding my jeans over my hips revealing the lacy boy cut shorts. I slid my shirt over my head showing the red lace bra that matched. He sat on his table, never once shifting his gaze as I slid the straps of my bra off my arms and threw it in the pile of clothes. I slid the shorts of my ass, before covering myself with a towel and laying across my table.

They two therapists came back in. His strong hands worked my lower back with a fury and I tried to resist groaning aloud. He was working my lower back with hot oil and asked me if I wanted him to go lower. "Sounds good" I said, while Max gave me a death glare.

He was so busy watching me and staring daggers through the guy to even enjoy his massage. I finally gave up knowing he wasn't really relaxing. "Ok, I'm good." I said, dismissing Gene.

Max jumped up rather quickly himself. "I'm good too." They left the room and we sat on tables across from each other staring intently at each other. I wanted him so bad at that moment it was ridiculous.

He finally broke into a grin. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" he said without moving a muscle.

I smiled shyly back. "My place, like now. First one to the car gets pleasured first." I threw on my shirt, foregoing my bra and slid on my jeans and flip flops. I broke into a run knowing he had to be close behind me.

I turned once I hit the car and he was casually sauntering out with a smile on his face. "We have plenty of time. It's still early." he said smacking me on the ass as walked to the passenger side of the car.
