Unconditional

Chapter 4

A/N This is set the day after the previous chapter.

In theatre

Zosia's POV
"I can't do it there's too much blood" I yell. "More light, more suction!"
Ollie briefly glanced up at me then back down at the patient.
"He's going to bleed out" I stressfully stutter.
"You can do this Dr March, just believe in yourself." Ollie's voice booms through the room.

Minutes later

"Ok, stemming the bleed. BP's rising" I say airily, smiling slightly.
"See." Ollie whispered "I told you you were brilliant"
I laughed, half relieved, half at Ollie.
"I think we've earned a well deserved break don't you?" Ollie questions as we scrub out of theatre.
"Pulses?" I asked, a little to excitedly.
"Whatever your heart desires m'lady" Ollie jokes, making me laugh.
"Come on" I say, mid-laughter.

In Pulses

Ollie's POV
Whilst waiting in the queue at Albies I kept finding myself wondering off inside my mind thinking about Zosia and how much I care about her. I still love Tara but when Zosia's around I just seem to-
"Ollie?" Zosia asks, sounding a little irritated.
"Hmm, sorry?" I say, awkwardly scratching my chin.
"In your own world were you?" a smile spreads across her face "So come on, what were you thinking about?" She questions, cheekily raising her eyebrows.
"None of your business, nosey" I reply, playfully tapping her nose. "Were you going to ask me something?"
"Oh yeah" she mumbles, trying to remember what she was going to say, "Oh, I just wanted to know what you wanted to drink."
"Oh nothing thanks, I've already had 2 coffee's today and another one might send me loopy" I say whilst making myself to go cross-eyed.
"Fair enough" she quickly replies smirking.
I could tell that she was trying hard not to laugh as she ordered her drink and as we made our way to the lift in silence.

In the lift

As the lift doors slowly closed I could see that Zosia was looking straight ahead, still smirking whilst taking a sip of her coffee.
"Zosia."
She turned to face me and as she did I stuck my tongue out and made myself go cross-eyed again.
Suddenly Zosia burst out laughing, spitting the contents of her drink in her mouth all over me, drenching me, making her laugh hysterically.
"Ol- Ollie" she cried. "I'm so- I'm so sorry" she said, still in hysterics, tears forming in her eyes.
I stood there for a second or two, looking down at my scrub top speechless, then glanced up to see Zosia with tears of laughter falling down her face.

Zosia's POV
Still laughing, I looked up at Ollie who was soaking wet, making me laugh even more.
"Oh my god" I stopped, trying to catch my breath mid-laughter "I'm actually going to piss myself" I cry, crossing my one leg over the other.
As tears rolled down my face I noticed Ollie turn his head and as he looked at me, he too burst out laughing.
After what felt like forever, the lift finally made it to Darwin and I made my way to the main desk giggling to myself.
"What's got you so happy selfie?" Mo questions
"Oh nothing, Ollie just made me laugh that's all"
"Mhm... and where is Ollie?"
"Oh he had to umm" I chuckle "go change his shirt"
"You know" Mo started "You've been ever so happy ever since Ollie came back. Are you sure there isn't something else going on you haven't told me about?"
"What? No, I've already told Jac this, Ollie and I are just friends" I say, but as the words tumble out of my mouth, I'm not even sure if they're true.

Ollie's POV
Still amused, I walked into the locker room and unlocked my locker to grab a fresh shirt and glanced to the picture of Tara.
"I don't know what to do Tara, of course I still love you but Zosia... Zosia she's, well she's beautiful, she's smart and kind. And she's funny, she's so funny and..."
I paused, slamming my hands on the metal doors in frustration causing the picture of Tara to fall from its place inside my locker. I slowly bent down to pick it up and started flicking the corner with my thumb.
"And... I love her Tara. I'm in love with Zosia March"
