Sam was waiting patiently for the barista to make
his drink with two extra shots of espresso when he heard the tinkling laughter
of two nurses ordering their own coffees.
He turned to see what all the fuss was about. The
tall, dark haired nurse was showing the slightly shorter, brunette friend
something on her cell phone.
“Two venti cafe mochas, please,” the tall one
ordered.
“Venti, Lexi? I’m going to have such a sugar high
by the time I get to the bottom of the cup.” The other one laughed.
Sam noticed something familiar about the brunette
nurse at that moment and her voice confirmed it. For years, he’d dreamed of
long, wavy brown hair, a pair of bright blue eyes, and heart shaped lips. Sam
couldn’t believe it’d been almost ten years since he last saw her in his
parents’ kitchen. There was no thought in what he did next, he acted on pure
instinct.
“Why, if it isn’t little Miss Sophie McKibbin.”
Sophie turned her head in his direction, and a
soft smile spread across her lips when she giggled. “Mr. Sam Crawford. Fancy
meeting you here.”
Lexi looked between the smiling pair with
confusion. “Someone fill me in, please?”
“Sorry, Lexi. Sam, this is my best friend and roommate
Lexi Carter. Lexi, this is Sam Crawford. He’s from Halston, too, and happens to
be the brother of my cousin’s wife,” Sophie explained.
“Well, that explains the greeting. I guess the
two of you didn’t know you worked in the same hospital?” Lexi asked.
Sophie looked at him in surprise. “You work
here?”
Sam rubbed the back of his neck nervously. He
never imagined he would be so uncomfortable in Sophie’s presence, but she’d
grown even more beautiful since he last saw her.
“Yes. I’m one of the evening hospital
administrators. I’m assuming you two are part of our top notch nursing staff?”
“Yes, in the intensive care unit,” Sophie
responded.
“You must be the team Dr. Thomas has been
bragging about.” Sam was stuck smiling as he gazed into her crystal-blue eyes.
“We should all go out for a drink sometime.”
“Sounds great,” Sophie replied.
Sam dug his business card out of his pocket and
wrote on the back. “This is my office number, but my cell is on the back.”
“Thanks.” Sophie’s cheeks reddened as she took
the card from him.
“See you later.” He lifted his coffee cup to the
two before he left the cafeteria.
Lexi grasped Sophie by the elbow and forced her
into a nearby booth. “I need details. Who is that sex-on-a-stick, and why have
I never met him before?”
Sophie shook her head as memories of a younger
Sam flooded her mind. The years had been very kind to him in her opinion.
He was over six feet tall, with what appeared to be a lean yet muscled body.
His light brown hair looked like it needed a trim, but was incredibly sexy at
the same time. Like her own were, his eyes were blue, yet they seemed hold a
sparkle she’d never seen before when he smiled.
“His younger sister and I were friends in
high school. Sam was in college at that time, so I didn’t see much of him, but
when I did . . .” Sophie got a faraway look in her eyes.
“You liked him!” Lexi smacked Sophie’s hand that
lay on the table between them.
“Yep, I fell hard. I admit there was a bit of
flirting, but nothing ever came of it.” Sophie ran her fingertips over her warm
cheeks. “I thought I might see him a bit more once Caroline and my cousin,
Drew, started dating, but he was working somewhere out east. Then I started
dating Josh, and you know how that turned out.” Her relationship with Josh Reynolds
had been a complete disaster, dictating how she had spent the last several
years of her life.
“It’s time to get back on the horse, so to speak.
I’m sure that cowboy wouldn’t mind a ride.”
Sophie laughed, but deep down in the dirty
recesses of her mind, she could picture it happening.
