Chapter 1: MONDAY MORNING, Bang's Apartment
"Not again!" Cristina slowly turned around to see that the annoying red numbers on her clock told that it's 3.35 am. She was late, again, but if she hurried she could still be on time. After she gave the alarm clock a bash and the beeping stopped the only sound that could be heard was the rhythmic breathing by a sleeping Burke.
After pulling some strands of her curly hair out of her face, she sat up and turned around. Burke was laying almost on her side of the bed. His head was on her pillow. Cristina got off the bed and by the sudden disturbance in balance, Burke opened his eyes. He catched a glimpse of Cristina who just closed the bathroom door and turned around to look for the time. Even though he didn't had to get up until 5, he got out of bed and put on some blue jeans and a green sweater.
When Cristina came into the kitchen the coffee pot was already busy doing it's job. Ironic really, Cristina couldn't do hers if the coffee pot didn't do his... "Good morning sunshine" Burke said, while getting one normal cup and one travel mug from the cupboard.
"Whatever" Cristina replied, she wasn't in a very good mood. Yesterday she lost her patient and the day before that aswell. Today she had two patients going into surgery, both she didn't want to lose. Even though she wasn't attached to her patients, she did have a connection with the younger ones. They are the ones that were honest and didn't put up a show.
The coffee was ready and Burke poured Cristina's coffee in the travel mug and handed it over to Cristina. "hmm" Cristina moaned annoyed. She was late and hated that. Burke was all shiny and happy with his "Good morning sunshine". That didn't make it much better, it made it even worse. Cristina picked up her jacket and keys and walked towards the door, but suddenly she turned around. To give Burke a kiss before she went to the hospital. Just when she closed the door behind her, she heard Burke say: "Be nice", but didn't pay any attention to it. Maybe she should have.
