Pretty Deadly

Chapter Seven

JERICHO'S POV

I feel somebody shake my shoulder and I groan and open my eyes slowly. Happy is leaning over me with an emotionless face and c***s a brow at me. "It's 7:30. Janelle is already dressed and ready to go to school." He says in a low voice and I nod and start to sit up, rubbing my eyes. I feel a weight across me and I look down to see Lex's body wrapped with mine. Her legs tangled with mine and her arm strung across me with her head on my chest. I slowly ease out and stand up.

"Thank you Happy. Did you sleep well?" I ask trying to be polite and he shakes his head. "I didn't sleep. I have insomnia. That's why Ms.Night asked me to wake you up." He says in a monotone voice and I nod slowly. Janelle is at the same table I was working on last night, eating a protein bar and a cup of orange juice.

"Sleep well Hunny?" I ask and she nods and smiles at Happy. "Yeah. Happy was right. That couch sleeps really well." She says and I nod. "Well go grab your things and we will head off." I say and she nods and runs off to the room and I turn to him.

"Did she have any nightmares?" I ask and he nods and eyes behind me, seeing if she was back. "She just kept saying please stop. It faded out around 4 this morning but she never woke up." I close my eyes and grip the chair in front of me. I knew that wasn't a random dream I walked in on. She's dreaming of him. The things he did to her. The things I couldn't save her from.

"Thank you for telling me." I say and walk over to the counter and grab a napkin and a pen.

I didn't want to wake you. See you later. I'll text when I'm on the way.

-J

I placed the napkin on the pillow and Janelle came back with her book bag and bag of yesterday's clothes. She sets them down on the table and finished her glass of orange juice and throwing away the cup. "Thank you for breakfast. I hope I get to see you again in the near future." She says and hugs his stomach.

The sides of his lips turn upwards and I knew that feeling all too well. She wouldn't help but make me smile. "I would like that too Jelly bean." He says in a voice that wasn't deep, dark and depressing but actually kind.

She grabs her things and starts walking to the door. I grab my bag and wave at Happy as I open the door for her and step out. He nods and walks off, once again putting up his hard exterior.

I get in the car and drop her off at the middle school and get lost in thought as I drive to the hospital. Was I really going to just sleep with someone I barely knew? I knew most guys would jump at this opportunity but I wasn't comfortable about it. I felt like I was taking advantage of her even though she was the one that asked. I've had s*x with ten women altogether and three of those were sloppy head and mouth f*****g. Five of them were actually relationships that lasted about a month and ran there corse. The last time was two years ago at my twenty-seventh birthday with a stripper named Diamond.

I hadn't even really paid attention when I parked in my spot and stepped out because I was too busy thinking of Lex. The things that ran through my head was making Little Jericho wake up in my pants. I pushed the thoughts aside and made my way into the building and signing in. I made my way to the locker room and changed into my scrubs and washed my hands for two minutes like always. I stepped out and went to the nurses station to get my agenda and smile at the nurse in training.

"Hi hun, could you pull up my agenda for this morning. It's Doctor Martin." I say kindly and her eyes widen at me nervously and she nods and types away, but not without sparing a few glances my way. She prints it out and hand me the paper on a clipboard and smiles shyly. "Thank you.... Ashley." I say reading her name tag and she nods and goes back to her work.

It was kind of adorable how nervous she was. But not quite as adorable as Lex being nervous was. I glance a the board to clear my thought and walk up to trauma and search for Dr.Gillis. He's leaning against a female patient's bed giving her a sly smile as he talks to her. He was flirting with her and I could tell from here. He laughs at something she says and nods.

The man had game to be almost 50, I had to give him that. He glances up at me and I point to my watch and he holds up a finger. He leans down and the patient gives him a kiss to the cheek and wraps her arms around his body. Her hand drifts down his large arms and I roll my eyes as she pouts when he walks over to me.

"Sorry mate, you know how it is." He says nudging  my shoulder and I roll my eyes and we walk to the prep room. We glance down at the nurses who are placing the patient under anesthesia and we start put on our protective coveralls on and start to wash our hands.

"Can I ask you some advice Jim?" I ask and I glance at him as he concentrates on his hands. "Sure. Go ahead man. What's on your mind?" He asks and I chuckle breathlessly and grab more soap. "Would you sleep with a girl that you've only known three days?" I ask and he smiles like the Cheshire cat and shrugs. "Depends what she looks like. Does she have a nice body?" He asks and my thoughts travels to all of her plump tan skin and how soft it was. Or how dominant everything she did was. I can only imagine what she'd be like in bed. Or the things she would say with how blatant she is.

"Earth to Jericho? By your zoning out I'm going with a hell yes." He says and I smirk to myself as I look down at my hand. The same hands that were going to be against her skin soon. "She's not what you would typically go for. She's plump and curvy and-"

My words are cut off by the water turning extremely hot and I hiss. "So she's on the plus side?" He asks with a raised brow and I can't help but feel a little different. I've never had any girls who I would deem as extremely small but no one over the size ten. I'd never found someone who struck my interest. Well, there was Felicity Martinez but she turned out to be a lesbian so that was out the door for me.

"Yeah. She's got these thick thighs and an amazing ass. Her stomach is just as thick and soft. Oh god and breast, f**k don't even-" 

"I'm sorry to interrupt but the patient is under now." A nurse says walking in and I blush and nod. I dry my hands avoiding her eyes as I feel that she heard some of my conversations and she walks back into the room. I hand Jim a towel and he smirks and drys them like I do mine. I place my coveralls on and gloves and make sure all my hair is in my nurse's cap.

"She's sounds like a catch so yeah. I say f**k her brains out and show no mercy." I cringe at his vulgar words and we walk into the operating room.

I can do this right?
