Nice Things âĽď¸
Jack hears about your disaster of a date that you had last night when heâs passing by the nurses stations. Youâre not talking loudly but enough that he can catch the gist of what your night was like.
âIâm telling you, he started out ok, but he turned out to be too handsy.â Youâre telling a nurse. âHis hand would always end up on my thigh or my back. I had to fake an emergency to get out.â
Later on in the shift, Jack finds you in the break room. Youâre eating a granola bar as you scroll on your phone, adding things to your Amazon cart, not paying attention to whatâs going on around you. He leans over your shoulder and looks at your phone. âThatâs a nice dress.â
You startle, almost dropping your phone. âDr. Abbot. Hi.â
âMay I?â Jack nods towards your phone asking to see it.
âOh. Um. Okay.â You hand your phone over to Jack.
Jack takes the phone and spends a moment scrolling and tapping. Someone pops their head in the room asking for you, and you automatically go to help not thinking to grab your phone.
Before the shift ends a couple hours later, Jack finds you leaning against the counter. He holds out your phone. âHereâs your phone back.â
âOh. Thank you. I didnât realize that I left it with you.â
Jack leans a little closer to you. âYouâll be getting a package tomorrow.â
âI will? Why?â
âI bought the things in your cart.â He pauses before saying, âI also may have added some things as well.â
You stare at Jack, not really sure what the response should be in this situation. âI⌠um⌠what? Why are you buying me things?â
âYou deserve nice things. Plus, when I take you out I wanted to make sure you have options to pick from.â
You feel the beginning of a blush spread across your cheeks. âI was unaware that we were going out.â
Jack steps closer and whispers, âWe are. The next shift we both have off, Iâm taking you to dinner. You good with that plan, sweetheart?â
You nod. âI. Yes. That plan is good.â
Jack takes a step back. âGood. I look forward to seeing what you wear. I think I added some items youâll like.â His voice gets a little lower. âI know Iâll like it.â
After Jack turns to head out, you unlock your phone and go to your recent orders from Amazon. Not only had he bought the couple of items that were in your cart, Jack also added a handful of dresses and some lingerie.
