《Healing》chapter 2

2 weeks later...
Josh and I have been seeing each other over the past few weeks since we got coffee the day we met. He got my number and texts me pretty much every day, he is so sweet to me. I'm usually a blubbering mess the times we have met up for a quick lunch or coffee but I know he tries to make me feel comfortable. I think he knows I have very little experience when it comes to dating and my very few encounters with the male species were a bit of a while ago. I really like Josh but I don't think he feels the same since he found out in was only 19, I know he considers me a little sister, considering he is 29 himself. I mean, who knew? He looks a lot younger than 29.
He is so gorgeous though. With his 6ft3 tall ass. His perfect hair and even more perfect smile. His beautiful hazel eyes that literally make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world when he looks at me- I know he doesn't do it intentionally but that's how he makes me feel.
I am currently splayed across my bed, in my dorm room while my roommate Jess grills me about Josh. He is picking me up in 20 minutes to take me to lunch and Jess has not shut up about him since he picked me up from my dorm room yesterday, when we went for coffee.
"I would have chosen to study medicine, if I had known Josh would give a lecture once a month to the class" As I zone back in to whatever Jess is rambling about I internally cringe and wish I could return to wherever I was before.
I do not want to be reminded of Josh's job anymore. Jess insists its hot that he is a doctor. I however, disagree.
Why couldn't he have been a lawyer, or a pilot or shop keeper? Why did he have to be a fricking doctor? I'm not entirely comfortable with people who occupy jobs in the medical field, I literally avoid doctors, dentists, hospitals, medical clinics like the plague. I'm not sure where my nervousness surrounding the medical field came from but all I know is that I've always been this way and I think I always will.

Saying all this, I am actually totally comfortable with Josh, even knowing his occupation. I mean yeah he makes me nervous, but its in a good way, like the butterflies in your tummy and chest when reading a romance novel, not the big moths before you give a presentation to the class. I actually feel particularly safe around Josh, I know I've only known him for 2 weeks but we have met up almost every day since. He said he has a lot of free time compared to other doctors as most of his job is based around appointments. But his soft touches and gentle caresses make me feel so cared for, even if its only in a sisterly way.
My dorm room door knocks and Jess shuts up her extremely long dialogue about how hot Josh is. I dash to the door and shoot Jess a 'zip it' look before letting Josh in.
"Hey sweetheart, you look beautiful" I blush furiously and Josh chuckles and he pulls me into a little hug. I look up and give him a small smile and an even smaller "hi", god I need to get a grip he is going to know I'm totally in love with him if I don't. I'm basically half the size of him so my face is tucked into his solid chest and he rubs my back. I pull away before I melt and Josh smiles down at me and runs his sexy hand down my hot, rosy cheek. He is so cocky.
He looks over at Jess who is being a creeper as she sits on her bed watching us. "Hi Jess" he smiles over at her. She grins ridiculously back "Hi josh" I role my eyes, surely I'm not as obvious as her. At least I hope I'm not.
"Ready to go, honey?" Josh is looking down at me and I nod at him. He gently takes my hand and leads me out of the dorm as we both wave bye to Jess. "How was your class this morning?"
"It was good. We are beginning a new topic, creating profiles of criminals. It's pretty interesting." I mentally pat myself on the back for not stuttering, although I didn't say a lot I've made progress over the last few weeks. "How was work?" I ask to be polite.

Josh gives me a soft smile, he does that a lot. It's as if he can tell every time I am feeling the slightest bit uncomfortable because each time he will do something as if to say "your safe". Like now, as he rubs his thumb across the back of my hand he is holding. "It was good, easy day today only a couple of appointments and no surgeries" I shiver at the last word in his sentence. He notices and stops us just before we exit the building my dorm is in to go to the car park. He pulls me out of the way of the door, incase anyone walks through and I am suddenly pressed softly against his chest.
My heart pounds as his right hand cups the back of my head and his left arm goes around my waist and caresses' my back. He doesn't say anything but I know he wants to. He must know about my nervousness towards his job, oh no, he must think I'm such a baby. This is so embarrassing! I'm just going to have to deny it. Deny, deny, deny. I refuse open up myself to anymore embarrassment around Josh, I did enough the first day I met him.
He presses a quick kiss to the top of my head and lets me go, taking my hand once again, he leads me to to the car park where his BMW awaits us. He opens the passenger door for me to hop in, just like every time I've been in his car and he gets in behind the wheel. "So, where are we going?" I try to seem confident despite the butterflies from that little scene I just made, a minute ago. "I was going to ask you what you felt like eating" he takes my hand as he pulls out of the car park "anything you want sweetheart."
My heart swells at the terms of endearment he uses towards me. "Umm, how about Italian?" He turn to me for a split second before returning his eyes to the road, smile prominent on his face "Of course angle, that's perfect".
The whole car ride he has a grip on my hand, I watch him as he drives pretty much one handed and its hot. Really hot. When he does need his other hand he uses it with my small hand still in his large one. I love it.
We have a quick lunch at this small Italian restaurant across the bridge and Josh asks me about class and my family and pretty much everything, just like he always does. I get flustered a few times and he smiles and chuckles when I do. We sat in a booth, so he was right next to me. At one point I got so red from him complimenting me, he passed me my water and wouldn't let me put it down until I had finished it, whilst he sat next to me rubbing my back. I'm pretty sure he thought I was going to pass out, I wasn't. I am just not used to this.
Again Josh wouldn't let me pay for my lunch, he hasn't allowed me to pay for anything when were out together. I feel guilty, I like him and his company not the money he clearly has.
Were finishing our drinks when Josh rubs a hand across mine. "Will you go on a date with me tonight Sophie?" My heart skips a beat and I almost fall off my seat. "Only if you want to sweetheart, if you prefer to keep it as it is that's okay too honey" He adds on, mistaking my excited flustered reaction for anxiousness.
I smile and whisper "I want to go on a date with you".
