“What did she say?” Nick asked excitedly as he heard Amanda enter the empty room.
“Who?” Amanda asked, even though she knew who he was talking about. Amanda had hoped that he was asleep or have forgotten about the check up. But Nick was no kid. He didn’t forget everything after something has happened. Amanda knew that Nick would be very unhappy if he knew what Dr. Laura Suff had said about his condition.
“Oh, you know who! Stop playing with me!”
“Who?” Amanda repeated, thinking desperately for an answer.
“You idiot. Dr. Suff!”
“Oh! She said that you are doing great! You’ll recover and you’ll be able to do the operation in a few weeks time if this keeps up!” Amanda said enthusiastically, even though it killed her to see Nick’s face light up after she did.
“Great! Let’s do something,” Nick smiled widely.
“Okay, I get to make the choice!” Amanda replied and smiled back at Nick.
“No, I get to make the choice,” Nick stated stubbornly.
“Nope! You’re my patient so you have to listen to me!” Amanda forced herself to be happy.
“I’m paying you here so if you don’t listen to me, I can get you fired,” Nick nodded proudly and crossed his arms.
“Bet you’re just saying that to make me give in. You’ll never fire me because I am the ‘most interesting person’ around here, remember?” Amanda smiled knowingly. Nick always had a way of making her smile even if she was unhappy.
“Bet I can! It’s just that you didn’t do anything wrong… YET.”
“Whatever! Besides, I’m older than you, that gives me the right to make the decision.”
“Age doesn’t give you any more right than I do… you’re only older than me by a few weeks. Oh yeah, talking about age, when exactly is your birthday anyway?” Nick asked.
“If I tell you, would you do something for me on my birthday?”
“Okay! Just tell me!”
“Hmm… what if you go tracking me down after you get out of here?”
“Tell me!” Nick pleaded.
“Why’s it so important anyway?” Amanda continued to listen to Nick plead.
“Fine,” Nick held his hands up as if to stop something, “If you don’t want to tell me, then it’s your loss.”
“December 24th,” Amada replied quickly.
“Ha! I knew it’d work! Anyway, are you Jesus or something?” Nick laughed.
“If you keep insulting me like that then you’re really gonna get it like you did last time, only, WORSE,” Amanda grinned.
Nick shuddered at the thought. Amanda had placed a frog in his bed which had crawled into his pants in the middle of the night. Nick jumped up and down struggling to get the slimy creature off him. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience.
Changing the subject, Nick said, “My birthday’s January 28th,”
After a long silence, Amanda finally said, “So?”
“Huh? Y’know, so… y’know what to do on what day!”
“Ha! You’re going to fire me since you’re so rich! Why would you want anything from your fired ex-private nurse?” Amanda teased.
“You have still have to get me something!”
“No I won’t.”
“Yes you will,” Nick replied and the two of them started yet another one of their ‘yes no’ arguments again.
