"Well…" he said as he touched the side of my face. "I'm glad it happened. I've wanted this to happen for a long time."

"I don't know if I wanted it to happen as long as you did," I admitted.

"That's fine," he said with a warm smile. "But can the next one be when I'm awake?"

"I'll try to remember that," I replied with a nervous chuckle.

To be honest, I was still worried about it. I didn't know if giving in to my urges and kissing him was the right choice. All I knew was that the moment I kissed him, everything seemed to be more colorful than usual.

I wanted to experience more of this colorful exchange.

Chapter four

Changes

Ethan

Not to brag, and this is merely just to give a comparison, I have kissed a lot of women. That was the first time any woman had attempted to kiss me in my sleep. To be honest, when she first kissed me, I woke up. But I decided to remain asleep and observe if anything would happen. And sure enough, things happened.

As she kept on repeating the kisses, I struggled to feign sleep. The last kiss was the straw that broke the camel's back. When I kissed her back, it was different. I wasn't lying when I said I had been looking forward to something like that happening. But I was scared.

I don't know why, but I was.

It felt like I was attempting to dig out a memory I had put a lot of work into burying. That wasn't the end of my worries, however. The moment we kissed and even when she laid on me to continue the kiss, she became permanently ingrained in my head and refused to leave.

"Are you listening?" Stacy asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"What?" I blinked twice.

"There you go again," she sighed and looked at the papers on the table. "I've finished the paperwork with your brother concerning Olivia. Even after you said you won't make any mistakes, you still ended up getting an extra nurse."

"I'm sorry," I apologized.

It was the week that Olivia was meant to come to Richmond. Olivia was a travel nurse who had been selected for the nurses exchange program, but I had made a mistake. Luckily my elder brother decided to take her in. That's a story for another day.

"Don't apologize to me, save it for her when she gets here," she said.

"Whatever you say, boss," I smirked.

"I swear I don't get paid enough for this," she sighed and continued writing on her pad.

She was really a sight to behold. With her left hand supporting her cheek, she focused on her work. I was completely enamored with her. My eyes focused on her lips. I wanted to kiss her again. It was strange. Normally, I could easily lift her chin and steal a kiss, but I was more concerned about if she'd actually be comfortable with that.

What kind of playboy was I, if getting a kiss was this hard? If anyone told me that I'd become like this. Worrying about what a woman who wasn't my mother would think about me, I would tell them they were lying.

"You're so distracted," she sighed and put her pen down to focus on me. "Should I go back to my office?"

"No, just finish everything you have to do here," I replied.

"Mm, hmm…" She smiled and looked away, continuing her work.

"Ethan," she called softly, as she struggled to even look at me. "Can I get another kiss? I know it's unprofessional and all, but I…"

I didn't wait for her to finish, so I got up and walked over to her side of the table. I lifted her chin and kissed her.

Are kisses supposed to feel this good?

She giggled as she pushed me away gently. "That'll do for this morning's dosage. Thank you, Ethan."
