Chapter # 53

After dealing with Bob and being well aware he had frightened him, plus gave him further space to sniff on his matter; he continued working in the hospital. He entered the meeting room holding his coffee where the top surgeons were called to discuss the matter. The sound of his whistle made the gynecologist, Sarah, smirk. 'Here is our Plague Doctor," 'Say this constantly and get me killed one say," He smirked back, taking a seat. 'Ah, come on, haven't you seen the news? It's spread worldwide. He is the hot topic. Look," Intrigued, he leaned back comfortably, elbow inclined on the armrest with one leg over the other with a possible endeavor to conceal a smirk. To hear what they could possibly think about the notorious Plague Doctor- it always amused him. 'Crime rates are increasing rapidly in India. The return of the Plague Doctor had flared other aces to assert power as well," ‘Well, things did get boring without me now, did they?' 'Sources had that Heathen had decided to prey there but the government is doing their best to ensure protection from vicious people like them," ‘That bastard, gobbling the opportunity the second it availed,' He furrowed his brows, almost thrilled to perceive what he could do to piss him before hearing further. 'They think both are working together, if they were, it will be a dark time for the middle east. And now only middle east, America and Italy included," After hearing the news, he couldn't help but to laugh a little, 'Wow, they sure are milking this topic for their rating," 'Who wouldn't? He is the most ruthless, the number one criminal." 'See. Look how deadly his power is. One incident at an airport and it shook the whole world, they hadn't stopped talking about it," The chief of his department scoffed, making a sour face. 'And if others are taking actions then it was real! This monster is back," To their conversation, he shrugged his shoulders calmly, curling his tongue, whistling while resting his knuckles over his temple. 'I guess. But, does it have to do with us? They are talking about other countries," But, before he could close his eyes and wallow in his thrilled thoughts until the meeting started. The chief slammed his hand on the table. 'We are saying this so you stop whistling now!" 'Wh- Why? What is wrong with that?" His body jerked up at the yelling, almost spilling his coffee. 'That cop is already suspecting you too and by all means, you can be anything but a murderer." Sarah said followed by the chief. 'Exactly and you, my boy, Your hands are born with only one purpose, to save lives," He declared, all eyes were on him. 'Exactly, Nathaniel," They were in admiration, they even knew he was giving his research on neurology expectanting nothing in return. As long as he was treating patients, nothing else mattered. Ignoring their talks, he took a sip of his coffee and mumbled under his breath because something about the mentioning of being a ‘savior'- It disturbed him. 'I hope Keith is okay, he was the best cardiologist here," He mumbled, changing the topic leading them all to calm down as well. 'Hmm. Plus his house was blasted. What kind of sick underworld thing he was involved in?" Sarah nodded. 'Whatever it is. We, the top surgeons must give our best to keep up the reputation of the hospital," 'Exactly. I am counting on you all," Administrator entered sternly, closing their conversation. 'Sir," 'You all must keep up the reputation and try to not get involved in the troubles," 'Yes, Sir," After the meeting, he spent a normal day at work and was about to return to his usual time. 'Where are you going?" 'Home," 'I think that cop is keeping an eye on you," Mark informed him. 'As if I care," 'Yeah," Not caring about anything, his heart was pounding with glee to espy his beloved after a tiresome day. That was all he cared about, her thoughts excited him, they loosened all his stress, it purloined all his troubles. With a never-ending grin, he entered only to be greeted by a sound of showering. 'My, my, without me?" Smirking, he put his stuff away and took off his winter coat before popping in the shower when the second Zariah was about to turn it off. A pair of large hands appeared from behind, drenched in the hot water while pressing her exposed body into his, nibbling on her neck. 'Well, well, there is my woman," She didn't expect his uncalled for presence and screamed, 'Ah!" Turning, she almost grabbed his elbows, twisting it and pinning him to the wall, worried if a thief broke in only to find her man who smirked at her quick movements. 'I mean, you are the Crazy Zariah," 'Nathaniel!? What the hell!? I am showering!" She gasped, pulling away instantly with embarrassment and blush creeping. She was about to grab the towel but grabbing her elbow, he switched places, breathing heavily in her ears while the shower was still running. 'Who is telling you to not lock the door?" He whispered temptingly, tracing his finger on her back. 'No one is supposed to be home after all, leave, I am just done," She whispered, attempting to release her elbow. 'I had a stressful day already, let's shower together," He chuckled, biting her earlobe while leading his hands down to her side, leading them to her lower region. An abrupt heat was rushed in her veins, blazing her breaths when his fingers dug into her skin, pressing her harder into him while his patience shattered as he unbuttoned his shirt. 'H-Hey, what are you doing?" 'Undressing," 'No- No," 'Too late," Winking, he ended up crashing his lips on her, blinding her in his spell, failing to control his lust after attaining the chance to hold her, to touch her after burning for it. His fingers failed to gain enough of her skin, of her moans, her fingers running down his back, all of it was a source of his heavenly bliss. He needed it, from her shadow to her soul, all of her. After his passionate and lull-providing moment with his women, in his casual clothes, he was plopped on the bed. Grinning at Zariah who was glaring at him.. 'Don't glare at me like this, love, it looks too sexy on you," He winked, pointing at his finger adorably at her while she was in underwear and his big shirt. 'Huff. You know I can't stay angry at you anyways. So, has your stress reduced now?" She sighed, shaking her head in defeat to which he chuckled. 'What stress?" Smirking, she took out two apples and sat beside him. She was about to cut it but he frowned, sitting up straight. 'What?" 'Is that an indirect way of telling me to go away?" 'What? No. Why- Oh," She made an ‘o' face, 'Because an apple a day keeps the doctor away?" 'Certainly." He nodded, giving for a few seconds for a further signal. She chuckled, poking his cheek before cutting the apple. 'No, there is still time for dinner. Let's have an apple until then," 'Cool," Humming, he laid on her laps a s she cut the apple and since he refused to sit up she fed him the slices. Fingers intertwined, heartbeats connected in a mystic movement to live for each other, praying this time last for eternity. 'You are extremely handsome, you know?" 'And your smile a delight for my eyes," Staring at her man, her free hand ran across his arresting features, knuckles brushing against his beard, leading to his perfect jawline and back to ruffle his brown hair. 'Oh, you have no idea how much I need you Nathaniel, how much I have prayed to have you, how much I want you," 'I am here now, all your dreams and desires will be fulfilled, my love," He whispered sincerely, turning his grip on her rigid for assurance. Their heartwarming moment was soon broken when Zariah's phone rang and it was an unknown number. 'Who is it?" Nathaniel asked nonchalantly. 'Don't know," Shrugging her shoulders, she picked the call only to hear the unwanted resonance from the other side that stilled her in dread. 'Well, well, look who is enjoying her love life. Have you forgotten that we had a deal, Zariah?"
