fine.”
Josie didn't know it, but subconsciously, she didn't really want to ride the roller coaster. She knew that she was already too old for rides like that. What she really wanted was to recreate the feeling and the moment she’d had in her dream a few days ago.
“Two tickets, please.” Blake said.
“Here you go. Thank you and enjoy the ride.” The ticket attendant said to Blake.
One of the crewmen escorted them to the cart. They sat on the plastic seat in the cart and strapped on the seatbelts just as they were instructed. A leather pole was horizontally positioned against them to ensure they would stay in place throughout the entire ride. Josie's heart was pounding with excitement. Feelings of Deja vu were starting to overcome her again.
'This is exactly how it happened...' she thought to herself.
“Wow, I can't believe this is actually happening...” Josie said with strong feelings of exhilaration.
“Pace yourself, Josie.” Blake softly kissed Josie on her cheek. She blushed.
“I love you, Blake...” Josie said softly.
“I love you too, Josie...”
Then it happened. Just like in Josie's dream, Blake kissed her lips gently. It was a soft yet passionate kiss. This was literally a dream come true for Dr. Josie Steele.
With this moment, Josie realized that Blake really was the one for her. Blake was the only man and the person in her entire life who had actually made a dream of hers become a reality. If there’d been any doubts in Josie's mind before, the kiss had completely erased them all.
17. He's a Heartbreaker
Josie looked around at the hospital cafeteria for something to eat. She settled for the tasteless grilled sausage with some potatoes. It was her usual lunch at this time. But Josie didn't mind. For her, everything was different. Even food this tasteless had a life of its own because now she had Blake.
Josie took a seat and was about to start eating when Thaddie Rossenbaum sat beside her. Rossenbaum was an old nurse at Lenora with a powerful physique. Thaddie was often asked to carry old and infirm patients who were much bigger than herself. Her arms and legs were muscular and she had a masculine appearance, including a little facial hair. Tough hospital work had turned Thad into a machine.
“Take a seat beside you?”
“Sure, Thad.” Josie said.
Josie had known Thad around the hospital for some time. They had worked together for a good number of years and were fairly close as associates, but not as friends. Thad and Josie sometimes swapped stories about their lives just to be cordial, and today would not be any different.
“So, how's John?” Josie asked.
“Not so good. We had another argument last night. In between his job as a gym instructor, and his managing our pawn shop well, I just feel so neglected.” Thad said.
A look of sadness crossed the powerful nurse's face. She gulped down her beef and potatoes. Thad was a rapid eater who gorged on food relentlessly to power her machine-like body.
“Neglected? Why is that?” Josie asked.
“I think, he's got to have more time for me. It's just not fair. He works so much. And I'm here at the hospital often as well. I think he should make more time for me.” Thad said.
Josie frowned. She didn't know what to make of Thad's situation. This was not the first time Thad had complained of trouble in her relationship. It seemed she was often getting into fights with John. Their relationship seemed to be going nowhere.
“Come on, Thad. You should try to understand John. I mean, he just wants to provide for you.”
“I know. And that's well and good. But can't we have some 'we time?' Every girl needs to feel special.”
“Then why don't you tell him that?”
“I have told him that. Many times, but John is so... obsessed with making money, making ends meet.”
“Is that so bad?”
“No. But I want some attention too. I need some attention.” Thad pleaded.
