Remy has never thought she could feel about a woman that way. She had a crush on one or another but this one fascinated her and scared at the same time. In this, so called, relationship between the coworkers they were sharing, she was just an observer, not a leader like she used to be . The woman was the total opposite of her, creating an invisible barrier which separated her form the bad world – and by bad, she meant potentially dangerous women like Remy Hadley.
Thirteen was leaning back on a sink in one of the PPTH's bathrooms, dumbly looking at the door in front of her. Get yourself together she constantly repeated to herself, but it wasn't so easy to do. Right now Allison Cameron was her disease and a cure at the same time. She couldn't think about any other women, no matter how beautiful or smart they were. The unknown and complicated feelings for her were completely feeding her heart... leaving almost no place for the love for the man she was with.
"Hey, you." walking out from the bathroom with her face still cover with small drops of water, she bumped into her boyfriend standing still in the entrance.
"Hi" she answered quickly "What are you doing here? I mean, at the door to the ladies room?"
"Spying on you" Eric smiled and kissed her on a cheek "are you okay?" he asked seeing her shivering slightly.
"No, everything is fine " she smiled widely trying to prove her lie and took both his hands in hers. "What are we doing after work tonight?"
"I was thinking.. " he came closer to her hugging her in the waist "We could go to your place, I'd bring some food and wine.. what do you think about that?"
"Sounds good for me." For a moment she forgot to put a little bit more emotions to her words which sounded rather harshly, but it seemed her boyfriend didn't noticed that.
"Great" Foreman kissed her on a forehead and slowly taking his hands from her waist walked away toward the elevator, while Thirteen took a deep breath, rubbing her face with the hands.
"Oh, I have almost forgot - Cameron was looking for you!" he shouted through the corridor.
"What? Why?"
"I don't know but.. you're working in a team together now, remember? Probably she wants to talk to you about the case" he smiled one last time and disappear after the nearest corner.
Right. He was right.
She got herself together and decided to just face the problem. She wasn't weak, she could control her emotions and start to act like an adult again, because she realized, from other point of view, it might look like some kind of stupid high school crush.
Walking through the corridors, heading to the office she was trying to throw the woman out off her mind, stop thinking about her in this way. However, she was surprisingly happy having an ability to see, to talk to her again.
Finally she entered the glass door.
"We were looking for you" Cameron spoke immediately as Remy walked into the room, turning her head from Taub standing next.
We. That word resounded in her ears.
"Is there something wrong with the patient?" she asked carefully coming closer, but keeping safe distance from Cameron.
"He just got discharged.. that's why we're planning to go out somewhere tonight" Allison smiled nicely. Remy hated when she was doing that, so sweetly and innocently. Damn her.
"But I have asked Foreman and he said you two already have some plans for the evening" Taub looked at Remy then on Cameron.
"But we want to know your stance" she added keeping the smile " we go out together so rarely and now we finally have some free time to have fun."
God. YES! Her mind was screaming and heart started to beat faster at the thought of spending an evening with her, drinking and dancing all night long!
Suddenly she felt something painful in the back of her scull – that was her sanity speaking. She promised her boyfriend they're going to spend that night together just minutes ago. She didn't want to let him down go again. They spent so little time together too, but she felt like another chance with Cameron could never happen again.
"So.. what do you think? It will be fun." Allison shook her from the thoughts and reached a hand to touch Remy's forearm. She couldn't help but shiver at the sudden contact of her warm hand which she could feel perfectly even through the fabric.
"Thanks for invitation but.. I-I need to talk to Foreman first."
"We could go to a strip club.." Taub whispered covering part of his mouth with a hand.
"You see?" Allison laughed "Come on, don't make me beg you. And I don't wanna be the only girl in the house."
Foreman. Cameron. Foreman. Cameron. Cameron. Foreman.
"Okay.. " some magical power had to come from Allison's hand still resting on her arm forcing her to gave up.
"Told you strip club always sounds fun" Taub grinned and walked through the woman making Cameron finally take her hand from Remy's body. Hadley gasped silently and took a chance to take a step backward making a place for Taub and a little bit farer from Allison.
When he left the room, Cameron took two steps forward and stood close to Remy. Definitely too close. They could feel each other's breaths on their barely opened mouths. Cameron smiled seductively.
"Hope you will show me how good on the dancefloor you are."
