Nic giggled when her girlfriend looked around the hall and saw that they were alone. She knew exactly what that meant and she always enjoyed it. Jessica had a bit of a exhibitionist streak in her, though Nic never let her do anything about it at work. Sex with the blinds open at night was about as far as they ever leaned into that part of it. Kissing in the hallways of their workplace wasn’t something that they could reasonably get fired for with the shortage of nurses and how good they both were at their jobs.
When the coast was sufficiently clear, Jessica grasped Nic’s fingers between her own and then dragged her over to the closest wall. She pushed the other woman up against the tiled cement and pressed their lips together in a couple of quick bursts. Their kisses always felt like fireworks and joy, a coming together that resulted in a beautiful explosion. It left Nic breathless and often resulted in her hair being a tangled mess behind her.
She let her arms come to drop over Jessica’s shoulders while she held the other girl close. She threaded her fingers together behind her girlfriend’s back and gave a soft sigh when she felt the tip of a tongue grace against her bottom lip. They swirled and mixed together for as long as they thought that they could get away with.
“I do need to breathe sometimes, you know,” Nic whispered.
“Maybe we should just practice more, get your lung capacity up so that I can kiss you for as long as I like,” Jessica giggled. She began to place little kisses and nips down Nic’s jaw. It was almost as if they were in the privacy of their own home and didn’t have to worry about being caught every couple of seconds.
As though her thoughts had summoned someone to their very location, Nic’s head whipped to the side when she heard footsteps on the tiled ground. She quickly shoved Jessica a few inches away from her and then began to tidy her hair and coat. “It’s not something that I’ve dealt with before, I just thought that I could get some advice on it from you. I remember training, but firsthand experience is always better,” the words tumbled out of her mouth with practiced ease.
The doctor that had been coming down the hall passed them with barely more than a nod in their direction before they disappeared through the double doors less than a yard from their not-so-great hiding spot. Nic immediately whirled back to her partner and a pout formed over her pretty lips, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I understand why you want to keep us under wraps and I think that it’s for the best. We’re still in the early stages and we don’t want people picking sides if we break up,” Jessica nodded. She grasped Nic’s white coat and tugged it back properly instead of the weird jerking motion that Nic was attempting.
“Not that we would need anyone to pick sides anyway, it’s not like a breakup between us would be anything other than amicable,” Nic shook her head. “Just a little while long, okay?”
“Of course,” Jessica gave her a sweet smile and then brought their lips in for an adoring kiss.
