First (Day) Impressions [ Charlotte ]

Her shift was almost over and she was exhausted. Charlotte had to help several doctors today, but she was mostly with Doctor Stellis who loved to give her a hard time, not in the mean way just in the way that he was always goofy to kind of keep their spirits up. Though when there were several rubber glove balloons on the floor in surgery, needless to say, she was worn out. She cleaned up after the last surgery and changed into new blue scrubs, no blood stains. She wasn't going to have to do much more but paperwork at this point but she still had to be in uniform. She was getting a headache from her hair being up for all the surgeries today, so she pulled it down so that the tension could be let out of her scalp. Shaking it out so that it fell in a few waves down her back she started to head for the nurses station to do her charts. She was just about there when she was stopped by a police officer. Needed clearing for duty, so much for not doing anything else today. 

" Oh, Officer..." she glanced at his name badge, " Walker. I can help you with that." she was able to do the clearances so he wouldn't have to deal with a doctor. " Follow me please?" she took the form from him and lead him to an empty exam room where she could do his exam. " Have a seat, I just have to grab a couple things." she grabbed the cup that he would need to do his drug test, some gloves and things for herself, and a paper gown for him to put on. " I know its inconvienant but I have to have you change into this." she held the gown out in front of her. Her blue eyes found his and she blushed a little, he was handsome, and she was lonely so this was going to be a little embarassing. His haircut reminded her of the guys that were in the army that she had worked on during her tours, and she wondered vaguely if he too was former military. " Oh sorry, I'm Charlotte. Don't worry, I promise I won't give you a shot unless you need it." she grinned and nodded towards the door. " I'll give you some privacy to change, you can leave your skivvies on officer." she headed out the door and into the hall way to give him a few minutes. 

The last officer she had to exam for this had hit on her the whole time, he was kind of a jerk, but that was no big deal, she could handle herself. He asked her out but she had flat out turned him down. He proceeded to pull her over the next day and try it again, so she agreed, just so she could get him off her back. It had been a disaster, and she had let him down quickly. He didn't bother to ask her out again because she hadn't slept with him. That made things much easier. She looked at her watch, it had been long enough. Tapping on the door she let herself back in. Taking his form she looked it over, " So, what exactly happened so that I know what all I have to exam you for?" she clicked the top of her pen so she could start writing notes. " Also a drug test is standard procedure so do you take an medications I need to be aware of?" she filled out the form as they went so she wouldn't have to do it all at the end. 

Doing an officer clearance was pretty standard stuff, she just had to make sure he was medically fit to go back to duty, which he seemed like he was just fine so this was going to take no time at all. Though she couldn't hide her curiosity as she looked at him. He was new to town, she was sure of that because she would have remembered a face like that around. " Oh its no problem at all officer, its my job, and im at the end of my shift anyway, so something like this will take me no time and we can get you back to work." she smiled sweetly at him, her blue eyes looking over him. He looked perfectly perfect...oh great she was blushing, she couldn't help herself. God, why was it so easy for her to blush? Her peaches and cream complexion made any embarassing moment that much worse for her. " well that have to make sure you weren't all hopped up on something that made you go crazy for a moment, so I get that." she grinned at him, feeling his eyes on her, which made her blush even more. " You aren't all hopped up on anything are you? Bath salts?" she laughed as she finished filling out a few things and turned back to look at his face. He had the look of a man that had seen a lot, and she wondered if maybe he had been in the military previously too, his haircut kind of gave that away, but the way her carried himself, and something behind his eyes really told her more. 

" Ah so you are  soldier. I figured as much but I couldn't quite just come out and ask, some guys had a tough experience and don't want to talk about it." she tucked her hair out of her face as she looked at him. If he only knew that she was one of those that had a tough experience, but this wasn't the time or the place to talk about that kind of thing. " Well its guys like you that made our job easier." she smiled a conspirators smile, she had loved her time in the service, until that awful day where her world had changed forever. " It's no problem at all, I'll be right back." as she slipped out into the hallway she had a bit of a flashback, those days of getting soldiers quickly through the line so that they could get on to the next stage at basic, or before they had to head over seas. Some of those were hard because she knew she might never see them again, or see their names on the list of the fallen. She closed her eyes to hide the memories from herself.

As she sat in front of him her eyes on the form as she filled out that he was on a nerve pill she looked back up at him and realized his gown was rather see through ,making her cheeks turn an even brighter shade of crimson. Nerve pills usually indicated some sort of ptsd or anxiety of some sort. She wondered again about his service. " You...tackled him?" she tried to hold back her laugh as she bit down on her lip looking up at him, her sapphire eyes twinkling with the laughter she was holding back. He tackled a guy, that was kind of cute actually. " Ok so pretty much a shop lifter and you kept him from getting away with it, thats pretty standard." she filled out the information then stood up to set the form down on the counter, pulling on some latex gloves." Alright lets check you over then, make sure you didn't actually hurt yourself." she moved to his side and took his hands in hers looking them over. " Few cuts and scrapes, I'd say you got a little road rash from the tackling." she looked up and was very close to his face so she looked down quickly so he wouldn't see that her face was permanantly red at this point.

Holding his arms up she saw the scrape on his elbow, " Let me clean this one up, looks like there may be a little gravel in there." she grabbed some supplies and prepared to clean it. " This may sting a little ok?" she cleaned it up quickly and carefully pulling out a couple of tiny pieces of gravel. " Not to bad." She then bandaged the wound, wrapping some guaze around it since it was in an awkward place being right on his elbow. " No soreness or anything ?" she looked down at his legs not seeing anything but a small scrape that didn't even need a bandage. She took a step back and looked him over. " You really look fine." she smiled and grabbed the little cup. " Want to go take care of this in the bathroom? I know you know the drill with this. Just set it on this paper towel on the counter when you are done, ill tape it up and it will be ready to go and you should be good to go. As long as that passes you are clear for duty Officer Walker." not that she wanted that to be the end of their little conversation so she decided to be bold, " And when you are all cleaned up and I sign out I'll be off duty..if you wanted to maybe go get some coffee in the cafeteria and tell me more about this thief?" she was blushing brightly at that, and she figured Nate must be wearing off on her.
