Jason’s POV
I had something more to look forward to everyday, having made Molly my business I had gained friends with the other hospital staff and an enemy in Freyja. I didn’t mind, I didn’t want to make a friend for her.
I did find her really attractive though, it made it even more interesting to me that she was the only person I have had those sort of feelings for since Evelyn.
We worked in close proximity, in fact, she was my partner now.
She was the one handling Molly’s case and me hopping on it basically meant we would have to research and diagnose together.
She had leukemia and it was a very severe case, it had been damage control Mrs Michelson had been adopting to make her moderately stable. She didn’t know the delay was going to be the undoing of her daughter.
“Shit,” I muttered as I realized I had done my buttons wrong from the first hole. I undid it back to the last button and redid it while still standing in front of the mirror.
I didn’t have a routine method of dressing like most of the doctors at the hospital did. I basically just wore the first shirt I would pick up from my wardrobe and matched it with comfy pants.
The good side was I was not messy or ‘dirty’ I ran my hand through my hair and allowed the droplets of water to leave a mark on my sky blue shirt.
I didn’t care for many things, I was indifferent but the only organ of my body that seemed to be acting up was my reproductive organs. They were so aware and self destructive, considering who the attraction was directed at.
I had saved time as a doctor las two nights and gone to a club rather than wash of the torture that came with gate keeping chimdren illness.
I reached for my backpack and water bottle.
Switched off my TV, I didn’t watch a lot of TV but the background noise of The Big Bang theory always kept me company. I heard a buzzing sound from my kitchen now that the television sound was no longer distracting my brain cells.
I walked over to the kitchen and I realized I had left my coffee maker running, I hadn’t even gotten round to drinking it.
I thought of the silver crescent pack and how I couldn’t be bothered with the kitchen or its duties, I thought of my people.
I wondered how much hypocrisy Chloe was showing and thought of how loud she would probably be crying about ‘missing me’ all these because I had lost my best friend. The love of my life.
It was enough self pity.
I picked up my coat and headed out to work. My car has a new scent. I bought a new one.
It was already a year since I lost the Evelyn I knew and Six months since the estranged one left. A new car was my idea of spoiling myself.
I thought again of Molly and of Freyja’s stubbornness, to say I didn’t notice supernatural things about her was a lie, I have just chosen to ignore it for the uncertainty of actually finding something groundbreaking.
“Watch where you’re driving punk!” Her familiar voice shouted as I drove into the streets of the hospital, she was in her vehicle and driving next to me, a manic smile on her cheeks.
Dangerous Freyja.
“The diligent one! I hope you can see that you’re late,” I called back and she sneered, if I didn’t know of her bipolar brain I would have believed she was actually in a good mood today
“We’re arriving at the exact same time, don’t crucify me for your mistake,” she retorted and I smirked, getting her angry was the easiest task on earth.
“I am coming for my afternoon shift just so you know,” I clarified and she eyed me, her lips forming an extremely cute pout.
“Are you just dumb? Whatever, see you!” She grounded and sped off, I watched her car lead the way and I knew there was a raw and unhinged tendency to go crazy beneath her glasses and bright smiles.
“Urghh,” I thought to myself, feeling a little exhausted already.
Sure enough, her car was packed in her ‘spot’. The only other available space was next to her so I steered my car right in.
I peeped and she was still in the car, I didn’t bother to stall because I knew she was also going to stall, if I came out immediately she would do the same. I left my bag in the car and drew out my coat.
“Are you now scared of coming out of your vehicle?” She called out to me just before I could step out.
I groaned and stepped out and wondered how fast she had moved to this side. I didn’t dwell on it, I merely even looked her in the eyes.
“Now what? Do I drive so much like you?” I asked her and she almost attacked me, I could see that it looked like she was trying not to pull out her claws and scratch my eyes out.
Yes, claws.
“Matter of fact, you drive like my brother but it’s not what I want to talk about.” She said and I raised a brow, if this was how she wanted to keep her wolf secret she was going about it the wrong way. But then, only a wolf would be able to detect another wolf.
“What do you want, Freyja?” I asked her and she smiled, it sounded like that was the question she was expecting.
“I want you to do me a favor.” She announced and I raised my brow, what favor could she possibly need?
“What do you want Frey?” I asked her again and she drew closer to me, almost cornering me into my car.
“I have an ex.” She started and I rolled my eyes.
“Don’t we all do?” I asked her and she stuck out her tongue. I laughed and then she cleared her throat.
“I want you to pose as my boyfriend!” She announced and I stared at her in shock.
“What?!”
