Chapter 10 - just talking

Jaxton's POV

After sitting with my grandparents for a few minutes and checking on gramps he starts smiling at me. "You know Rylee Jane?" He asks as I nod and feel my grandma rubbing my back like she loves doing.

"Yeah I do. She's an amazing woman." I tell him as he nods. "You like her" he adds as I nod, I can't lie to him about her because I do.

"Well I told her a few days ago she deserves more than her crap boyfriend. Told her today you were coming and she needed to meet you." He tells me as I laugh.

"Not talking about that, what are doing back in here?" I ask him. "I've got sepsis, they said it could kill me but I know it won't. Your grandma wouldn't take no for an answer and demanded they bring me to the ICU." He tells me as I look over at grandma in all her designer jewelry as she nods.

"Well, I'll let you rest. I'll be back." I tell him as I hug her and then hug him. He stops me before I pull away, "go get her", he tells me as I laugh.

"Alright old man. I'll be back and bring you lunch." I tell him as he nods. When I make it to the hallway I see Jacob standing down the hall talking to one of the nurses. He laughs with her as she flirts holding his arm. That's when I see her slip a sticky note into his coat pocket with what I'm assuming her numbers on. He grabs her back as they laugh and that's when I see his hand touching her thigh as she laughs.

He stops touching her back when he looks up and sees me staring at him.

She looks at me and grins as I start walking towards them both. "Where's Rylee?" Is the first thing out of my mouth when he stares at me.

"None of your concern" he tells me as I look down at the little guy. He's younger than me, shorter and should be intimidated. I make more than him in a week and Rylee deserves more, and I want her.

"Actually she is my concern when you're flirting with another girl." I call him out as his face pales.

"Get out of my ICU." He tells me as I smile. "Gladly. I'm sure the women at the front desk will tell me where Rylee is." I tell him as I walk past him and intentionally hit his shoulder with mine.

Punk.

I go to the front desk and ask about Rylee being my gramps nurse and immediately I'm told she works in the emergency room instead. I take the elevator down and it opens to the emergency room and I see her face behind a computer at the nurses station. She looks beautiful with her hair braided back following the screen with her eyes.

I walk through the halls and I know I'm getting stares but I don't give a fuck.

"Ry, can we talk?" I ask walking up to the front desk as she looks up at me with those green eyes that kill me.

"I don't think that's a good idea." She whispers to me as I shake my head yes. "Please Ry, five minutes." I ask as she sighs. She leads me to the conference room following me as she sits down and points to the chair next to her.

"Five minutes and we're just talking." She tells me as I smile and sit beside her. That's all I need for this.

Rylee's POV

I sit down next to Jax and my heart is going crazy. This isn't a good idea and I know it's not but I had to talk to him because I feel so bad about everything that's happened and how I haven't spoke to him.

"Ry, can you look at me?" He asks as I look over at him. The way he's sitting is showing his buff arms and small tattoo on the side of his neck closer to his chest.

"This isn't a good idea." I whisper to him taking my stethoscope off my neck and sitting it down on the conference table.

"Well I think it's a good idea because I haven't talked to you in almost three days." He tells me smiling at me as I look at his neck veins.
