Chapter Seven

“JC? What’s on your mind?”

“I just wanted to thank you for what you did.”

“I’m a doctor, Mr. Chasez, saving people is my job. But you’re welcome.

“Yeah, I know. But I just wanted to make sure you knew how greatful I am to you. She’s my world.”

“Well, I wish you all the best. You’re a lucky man. Hang onto her.”

“I will.” He shook the doctor’s hand and walked back to Nikki.

“Hey baby.” He kissed her gently, “Wanna watch tv?”

‘I guess.”

JC turned on the tv and jumped when MTV filled the screen. “Whoa, since when do hospitals get anything besided Golf Central?”

“Probably since people like you started calling from their beds to order it.”

“Funny. Hey, look! The guys are on TRL!!”

“Without you? Odd.”

He turned it up and they watched, intrigued by what was up.

John Norris ; So, fellas. I see we’re only NSYN today.
Justin; Yes, JC is at the hospital with his girlfriend.
John ; Girlfriend? Interesting. Well, is she ok?
Justin ; Yeah, she’s fine.
Chris ; Yeah man, she’s f-iii-ne.
Lance ; Shut up Chris
John ; Okay, anyway, I heard that……..

JC turned the television off, “Uh oh. Looks like Chris has taken to you, Nikki.”

“Yep, we’re through, JC. I love Chris more.”

“Drat. Well, it was good while it lasted.”

“Yeah.” She grinned and kissed him, “I’m just playing. JC, I will never leave you.”
