His Doctor

Nine

Kalani:

I walk in the hospital, and get greeted by Jaxon again. "Good evening Jaxon, I know it's kind of late but please just go to my office and grab the keys out of my bag. Go to the bottom drawer and grab the bag of Kade's food. Oh! There should be a water bottle in there. Just please feed my baby! Thank you!" I say speed walking away and I go to the lab.

"Hey I need antibiotics for a stab wound." I say panting, out of breath. The pharmacist looks at me weird but gives me the pills, shaking me off. "Here you go Doctor Cassano." I give her a light smile. "Thank you so much. I'll explain later. Please tell Mr. Garcia I am so sorry for leaving early." I utter all in one breath and walk out, leaving before she can say anything.

Walking to the exit door, I pet Kade really quick and say goodbye to Jaxon. "Where did he park again?" I whisper to myself. My memory is horrible at times I know.

I look to my right and see the car he let me pick out, then start walking towards it. I am grateful don't get me wrong. I'm just confused. What did I do? What is so special about me?

I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't even realize I opened the door and got in. I look out the window, ignoring him and his gaze.

He sighs. "Kalani-" I feel his hard gaze focused on me. "If you're not going to give me answers then just drive please."

A minute of silence goes by until he starts the car and drives off. The tension in this vehicle is too intense for me right now.

"Kalani I want you to come work for me." I almost choke on air. He said what now? For me to work for him? What does he think I am?

"I'm sorry if I heard you wrong Lorenzo, but I am a doctor. I work in the hospital we just left to get your brother-"

"Which is why I want you to be my doctor." He strings on so casually. Like he does this every day. "So you're saying that you want me to quit my job and come work for you and your family only?" This guy is more crazy than I thought.

All he does is nod. He fucking nods. "Lorenzo why would I-"

"I'll pay you twice, three, four, I don't care even five times the amount you are getting paid right now working as a doctor at that hospital. You know what I do. You know who I am. People get injured a lot, including me. I need a professional that will always be available in case anything happens."

This donkey really needs to stop cutting me off or I will make him look like one in a few seconds.

But wow... that's a lot of money. I get paid a good amount already right now. It's dreadful. The hours. The labor. The new and unknown challenges I have to face daily. That's what I love about my job. "Why would you ask me? There's over ten more doctors in that hospital and thousands around this world. Why me specifically?" I need answers before any decision is made.

"You killed four men for me. You treated me. You treated my brother. You saved both our asses from dying. No other doctor would sacrifice so much. That is why I am asking you." He says, not taking his attention off the road.

"I really have to think about this. It's a really big decision and working for someone like you is beyond dangerous. I could get hurt."

He grips the steering wheel. I see his knuckles turn white from how hard he is gripping and squeezing. "I will not let that happen." He huffs in anger.

Jeez okay mister big bad wolf. Don't go all hulk on me now.

The car comes to a stop and I see we are back outside of his mansion. "Just give me time. I need to process all of this." I grab the medications for Leonardo and shut the door.

He gets out of the car as well and simply nods to my response. That's it. That's all I get. No "okay." No "Sure." This man needs to expand his vocabulary.

We walk up the stairs and enter his home. I didn't get the chance to admire the atmosphere before, but it really is stunning. The interior is mostly black with a mixture of white and grey. I step towards the millions of stairs to go up to Leonardo's room when I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Come with me." Is all Lorenzo says before walking off to a hallway.

This is where I die now. Perfect. Just perfect.

He leads me to a backroom. We enter and two elevator doors come into view. My jaw almost drops, but I recover after a few seconds as he guides me into the elevator, pressing the third floor. "So... you're letting me into an elevator that I have only known of now, when I just ran a whole mile up your stupid stairs an hour ago?!"

He eyes me with an angered expression. "I didn't know you were here an hour ago, did I?" I didn't say anything. I couldn't say anything. He was right, and he did kind of have a right to throw me the attitude.

The doors open, him walking out first. I follow like a lost puppy because I don't know where anything is in this house besides Leonardo's bedroom.

Okay that sounds really wrong.

We make it to his twin's room. I raise my hand up to knock but Lorenzo forcefully pushes the door open, making the door knob slam against the wall. Walking in I see his Leonardo on his bed, still shirtless.

"Get your ass up Leo, you're not dying." Lorenzo shouts, grabbing the antibiotics from me and throwing them at his brother. Leo scoffs, while getting up. "First of all, don't come in my room demanding shit. Second, stop yelling." He opens the pill bottle, taking one out. "Third, pretty rude of you to grab the antibiotics from our pretty doctor here so forcefully." He smirks, knowing he's getting an arousal out of Enzo. "Fourth, be a sweetheart and get me some water so I can take these dear brother."

"Vaffanculo stronza." Lorenzo growls angrily. (Fuck you bitch.) Okay I need to stop this before one of them seriously hurts each other.

"I'll do it." Their heads snap in my direction, confusion written all over their faces. "I'll get the water. By the time I get back, please don't rip each other's heads off." They look to the ground and back up at me in sync.

You just have to prove your twins all the time with your twin telepathy huh?

"I've had enough to deal with today, I don't need to fix up you two again because you mess up each other's pretty faces okay?" What I said must have boosted their ego or did something because they both have the same dumb smirk on their faces. Lorenzo shakes it off though. "You don't even know where the kitchen is at."

"I'll find my way there. I'm a doctor. I have at least some common sense. Thanks for having faith in me." I say sarcastically as I leave the room, not letting them say anything more.
