The Nurse's Love (BWWM Romance) by Tyra Brown, BWWM Crew

wants to talk to me about, but I’ll certainly go.” Faith was thrilled Cooper wanted her to come sit with him. She started to head for the door.
     
    “Wait dear, Cooper is having dinner and in with the doctors. He said you would come back right away but I was supposed to make sure you eat first.” She smiled at Faith, she had started to rush to him just as he had said. They obviously had feelings for each other but they were so stubborn.
     
    “Oh...okay.” Faith put her keys back into her purse and was surprised at how Cooper had predicted her behavior. She headed back into the dining room with Mrs. Robinson. How did Cooper know what she would do anyway?
     
    She knew it was wrong to love someone who was promised to someone else, but she did. As they all made their way to the dining room where dinner was being set out for the family, Faith thought about Mrs. Robinson’s words.
     
    “Yes, the police said the focus was on the staff and the guards. They were the only ones here.”
     
    “Was there anything unusual that night? Anything you did differently that you can think of?” “Not really, we had dinner the three of us and then Cooper said he wanted to talk to me. So I met him in the office and he gave me…” Faith stopped short.
     
    “Gave you what?” Everyone seemed interested now.
     
    Faith stopped before she could speak more.
     
    “I guess I should be going, he wants to talk to me about some things I guess.” She waved at the two guards she passed on her way. She drove in silence to the hospital, thinking about Cooper. She was happy he was going to be okay. She also was anxious to know what he wanted to talk to her about.
     
    She pulled into the hospital, made her way inside and up the elevator to the third floor. She met the nurse at the station.
     
    “You must be Faith. Mr. Robinson has everything set up in his room. Have a great night, and if you need anything let us know. We will be in and out a few times but we will try to keep it minimal.” She rushed off in a hurry towards a room with an alarm going off.
     
    Faith stood there for a second longer and made her way around the long corridor to Cooper’s room. What she found was a surprise. The room had been rearranged so that beside Cooper’s bed was another bed for guests. Lower to the floor and moveable, it was more of a chair with legs. On it were pillows and a blanket. There was a table in the room with glasses and some sparkling cider. Cooper was in the bed, flipping through a huge stack of papers on his lap. He looked better, some of the pink having returned to his cheeks. He would stop every few moments and use a red sharpie to mark through something and had a pen in his mouth. His hair was longer, falling over his temple and he had a substantial beard growing which gave him a rugged and handsome look. He was gorgeous…and engaged. Faith took a deep breath and walked in the room.
     
    He looked up quickly. “Faith, good, you’re here.” He smiled up at her brilliantly.
     
    “Yes, your mother told me you wanted to talk, and asked if I could stay with you this evening.” Faith hung her jacket on the hook by the bathroom and made her way over to his bed.
     
    He gestured to the makeshift bed. “That’s for you, I know it’s nothing fancy but I wanted you to be comfortable.” He smiled.
     
    “It’s lovely, Cooper, thank you.” She sat on the chair next to him..
     
    “How is mother doing? I worry for her so much being in here.” He looked at her intently.
     
    Cooper tightened his hold on Faiths hand.
     
    Before she could answer, the nurse came in to give Cooper his medication and take his vitals. Faith watched Cooper for a moment. What was that all about her wondered? The nurse scurried around and Faith made sure to stay out of her way.
     
    After the nurse left, Cooper changed the subject.
     
    “Tell me about you growing up, Faith.” He watched her.
     
    Faith had been unprepared for that. Growing up? She thought
