This had to be wrong. She never mentioned she was a vet. In fact, she repeatedly mentioned that she was a doctor. Never asked what kind, but I assumed she was one who treated humans.
Oh, I’m a fucking idiot.
I had never ever gone to a physician who was not on my manager’s list. Why the hell was I doing so now? Yes, she was insistent, but I never allowed anyone to push me around, why did I cave in now?
Because she was stunning, and when she tried to intimidate me, it only made her sexier.
I laughed. “The saying is right. Don’t assume. I really made an ass out of myself.”
“No. You were blinded by the blonde. I know the feeling. My wife got to me the same way. Well, not exactly, but I was definitely blinded by the blonde. And her smile. Connie has the sweetest smile, and when she uses it, I can’t refuse her. Hence why I walk that damn small dog around the neighborhood when I know everyone is laughing,” he snorted.
“Guess I can count myself lucky. I only got a scar, not a dog,” I teased.
“We will see.”
“Trust me, I’m not about to let any woman get in the way of winning that title,” I stated honestly.
“Have you spoken to her again?” he asked.
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“I take that as a yes. And do you plan on seeing her again?” he questioned.
“Not until after the fight,” I stated.
“Because you know if you do, you won’t be able to stop thinking about her. And before you deny it, I can tell just by your reaction. You look like you want to knock me out.”
Tempted.
“I wouldn’t do that. I need you. At least for a few more days,” I joked.
“Glad you still have your sense of humor. Just take my advice. Explain to her what is on the line. She’s a bright woman. She will understand why the two of you shouldn’t talk until after the match.”
“Yeah. About that. I haven’t told her about it,” I said.
“Why?”
“She made it clear that she doesn’t like violence. When she finds out what I do, she won’t want to date me,” I said.
“So why not tell her now?” he asked.
Because I want to see her again.
“There is a fight I need to focus on. I’ll tell her after.”
“Then are you ready to get back to work? You have a few more hours of training to go,” he said.
I nodded. A few good hits to the head might just be what I needed to stop thinking about Sydney.
CHAPTER 6
Sydney
This week was going better than the last several. I knew why. Amanda made sure I wasn’t staying late by showing up at my clinic and refusing to leave until I did. I wasn’t sure if my staff appreciated her lingering around, but I did. Amanda brought a different kind of energy to any room she was in. Add in a mix of cute puppies and kittens, and there was no stopping her. Her joy was infectious, and at times, a little obnoxious too.
But it all came from a good place in her heart. She wanted me to take care of myself and not just every fur-baby that came through my office doors. Funny how getting enough rest for the past few days seemed to have changed my overall health.
They always say that doctors and nurses make the worst patients. We forget that the rules for good health we prescribe to our patients apply to us too. But not having work to occupy my mind made it travel back to Cameron. I wanted to text him, but he had made it clear that he was busy. I should respect that, just as I would want him to do the same for me.
