Teaser:

Long distance relationships didn’t work; especially when one part of the duo was named Brian Kinney, who needed to fuck on a regular basis.

Reluctantly and with a heavy heart I let him go. I hoped we’d still talk, but then when I visited on Christmas and found out he’d taken off to Mexico just hours before I landed, it was painfully clear. That was the moment I started avoiding Brian religiously.

And now when all is done, there is nothing to say. And if you're done with embarrassing me on your own you can go ahead tell them.

Tell them it’s impossible to have a relationship. Tell them it’s impossible for you to change. Tell them you won.

For nine years I fooled myself that I’d forgotten him, but the truth was that I always thought of him and there wasn’t a day when he wasn’t on my mind. Hanging on a ghost of my past kept me from having a relationship. I tried a few times, but after only a few months they all left.

Story: A Sprinkling of Sugar

Author: Edward's Eternal

Summary: Edward Cullen is a busy executive, who lives for only one thing —his company. His gruff attitude and rigid ways are what make him a success. There is no room for indulgences or distractions.

An unwanted trip brings three huge distractions into his life— a chatty teenager, a tiny lisping angel, and most importantly—one small, determined, dark-haired woman who drives him crazy with both frustration and desire.

Which will win?

“Mr. Cullen?”

I nodded.

“I’m your ride!”

“Pardon?” I sputtered.

My ride?

“Yeah, I’m Seth. Bella sent me to pick you up. Flight delayed, eh?”

“Yes, there was a mechanical issue.”

“Well, better you than me, man. Bella would tan my hide if I was the late one.”

I arched my eyebrow at him. I had no idea who this Bella person was or exactly what “tanning his hide” meant, although I had an inkling.

“Is the car out front?” I asked pointedly.

“Nah.” He grinned. “I had to park it since you were late.”

I sucked in a deep breath, reminding myself I wasn’t in Toronto anymore. Obviously they did things…differently here.

“Shall we go, then?”

He nodded. “Yeah, sure. Hope your coat’s warm. It’s colder than a witch’s tit out there!”

And with that cheerful announcement, he walked through the door, letting it shut in my face.

My coat billowed behind me, my eyes instantly blinking in rapid succession at the freezing temperature. I followed Seth’s quick pace to the garage, almost groaning with relief when we walked into the cement structure.

He looked at me askance. “You should have done your coat up, man!”

I glared at him, my patience now thin. “You should have offered to take my bags so I could button up my fucking coat! In fact, you should have had the car warm and waiting for me!”

His cheerful expression fell and his eyes widened. “Shit,” he whispered. “Bella is gonna kill me.” He lunged forward, almost ripping my case from my hand and dropping my garment bag. “Don’t tell her, please? She trusted me to do this! I’ll make it up to you!” He dropped my case as well, now both of them sitting on the dirty, cold cement.

“I can’t believe they’re making all that racket already,” I mutter, looking through the pile of paperwork in front of me.

“Hey now, the Docs warned us in the monthly meeting last Thursday. It’ll be three weeks of hell, but then we’ll have a nice, new bathroom and two completely new exam rooms,” Jessica says, handing me the chart I’ve been looking for.

I look up and sigh. “I know. It’s just so...noisy. God, nobody said anything about having to speak louder. I mean, I had to yell at Mr. Watkins to take off his clothes earlier and I think he actually enjoyed it.”

Jessica giggles and leans in. “That old bastard is a handsy one.” She gives me a pointed look, and I shiver in what can only be disgust.

“Do I want to know?” I ask, because my curiosity goes way beyond being grossed out. Pretty sure I’ve seen it all in my eleven years working in this clinic.

“Let’s just say he thinks I look like his ex-wife.” She closes her eyes and then shakes her head. “To put it mildly, he was still...very...attracted to her even after the divorce.”

A laugh bubbles from my belly and I put my hand over my mouth to stifle it. It’s noisy as hell in here, but I would hate for one of our patients to overhear our conversation. “Are you serious?”

Jessica looks around covertly, then whispers, “He’s hung like a horse.”

Tears roll down my face and my giggle turns into a guffaw. I’m tired and with the combination of the noise pollution and my bad mood, this is exactly the kind of platitude I need to brighten my morning.

“Thanks for that, girly,” I tell Jessica as she rushes off to her next patient, while I look through that chart to locate Mrs. Armstrong's test results. She’ll be here in a few minutes and I need to make sure her chart has the final results from her last blood tests for Dr. Cullen.

Some days, it’s as if I’m more of a secretary than a nurse, but then I love it here and wouldn’t trade it for the world—noise pollution be damned.
