A new story here. Had a couple of ideas floating around and had to type this up.
I hope you enjoy.
Tara and Oliver had got married earlier tonight, it was a very small affair in the hospital garden but it was beautiful. They are suited together and I really hope that everything goes well for her what with the brain tumour and everything. I am currently sitting at the bar in Albies watching the new husband and wife dance, she looks truly happy and so does he.
I sigh and take a sip of my beer while my eyes wander over to Jac. She is sitting alone with a glass of wine, looking at Tara and Oliver. She is somewhat in a world of her own and I can't help but stare at her.
After the incident in the corridor outside theatre when she slapped me, we have been civil. I don't know how or why but the slap has worked in my favour I think. She regrets it that's for sure, every time we make eye contact grief weighs heavily in her eyes. So that's why I decided to not make it any harder for her at work, no snide remarks just banter and flirting. She may have slapped me but I was asking for it, some of what I said was just plain harsh and I understand. I want a wedding, a house and children and honestly I still see all these things with Jac, even though we are not together at the moment. Mo slides up next to me and I tear my eyes away from the red headed beauty.
"Can I offer you some advice?" Mo asked me. I just nodded and took another sip of my beer.
"Just go over there and use that Scottish charm to get the information out of her. I think at heart she is just a scared little girl that wants nothing more than to be wholly loved and cared by someone. You've heard the stories around the hospital and you know as well as I do that they are probably true. Talk to her; make her understand that you are not going anywhere and just share your past with each other and your secrets because there is too many between you two. Or you could just stand here and have another beer."
I looked at Mo then at Jac. Sighing I finish the rest of my beer and then begin to walk over to the woman that I love. She hasn't noticed me and by the time I stand in front of her, I have a plan ready. Hopefully it will work.
Please review and let me know what you think.
