The Story of Us

PG13 (for foul language)
Summary: This is a story about Romano when he was a young resident in New York and meets up with the love of his life. No, it isn't Lizzie (don't hate me). I know most people hate stories about fictional characters, but give it a shot and I will be your best friend!
New York City, 1990
The freezing wind whipped through her hair as she ran to her car, looking at her watch again. She was running late, she was always running late and that meant that she would have to drive into the city instead of taking the train. She hated driving in the city so it just helped add to her foul mood. Traffic was heavy and she sighed as she sat bumper to bumper on the bridge.
"Great way to start off your first day." She said out loud to herself. It seemed to be a miracle that it only took her half an hour to make it into the city but finding somewhere to park was another story.
"Excuse me." She yelled to the guard at the entrance to the hospitals parking garage.
He looked at her with an annoyed snarl.
"I am a forth year med student and I am supposed to be in orientation.." She looked at her watch. "right now but I haven't gotten my parking permit yet."
His expression hadn't changed.
"And that would be my problem because..?"
She sighed. "Is there anyway you could make an exception and let me park here?"
He walked towards her car.
"What is it worth to you?" He asked with raised eyebrows. She shook her head and sighed again.
"I don't know, what is it worth to me?"
He smiled. "Twenty bucks."
She glared at him and handed him the money and he finally smiled at her.
"Have a nice day." He said and opened the gate.
She sped through the garage looking for a space and spied one at the end of the next row so she stepped harder on the gas and had to slam on her brakes as another car was heading right for her and the spot with the same intentions. The two cars sat facing each other, both drivers getting more pissed by the minute. The other driver got out of his car and walked up to her window and knocked on the glass. She glared and rolled down the window.
"Can I help you?" she asked without even trying to hide the annoyance in her voice. He raised his eyebrows at her and leaned down so he was facing her.
"Yes, you can move this piece of shit so I can park here." She laughed.
"Um yeah, I don't think so." He looked at her with wide eyes.
"You don't think so?" She nodded and he laughed. "Well that was your first mistake. Lady, move this car or I will move it for you."
She stood her ground. "No."
He stepped back and she gunned the gas and pulled into the space. She walked past him and smiled at him as he glared daggers into her. He walked back to his car and sat there for a second and smiled. He got out after he had parked his car right behind hers. Granted it was childish and he was blocking part of the driveway but he would teach her a lesson. He even contemplated taking the train home tonight just so she wouldn't be able to get her car out at all. As he reached the elevator he shook his head. She stood there waiting for it to come and glared when she saw him approaching. Neither said a word as they rode down and exited the elevator. She figured he was following her because he was going where she was and she was getting more pissed by the minute. She decided to ignore him and gave him a dirty look as she walked through the ER doors and he walked past her. The clerk came up to the desk and she got directions on where she was supposed to go for the orientation that he pointed out had already started. She ran down the hall and tried to open the door as quietly as possible. She snuck in and sat down in the back of the room.
"Excuse me." Ed Chapman said and she smiled at him. "You, the woman who just came in." She stood up. "Please miss, come up here." She took a deep breath and walked up in front of the whole room. "I really hope that you have a good reason for being late this morning."
She bit her lip and looked at him. "I don't. I'm sorry. Traffic was really bad."
He looked at her and grinned. "Well, you are in luck then because I was just handing out the resident assignments and you get to be the lucky one."
She looked at him with a worried grin. "Great." She said and he laughed. He handed her the paper and she walked back to her seat. The guy next to her leaned over.
"Who'd ya get?" he whispered. She looked at the paper.
"Someone named Romano." He laughed. "What is so funny?" She whispered back.
"He is a legendry asshole." He said with a laugh.
She rolled her eyes. "Wonderful."
He laughed again. "By the way I'm Jason Hubert." He said and stuck out his hand.
"Lexie Carter." She whispered back and shook his hand. They were interrupted by a voice clearing.
"Excuse me. I don't know if you noticed but we are trying to conduct an orientation. But if we are interrupting the dating game we could talk quieter."
They both stared at Dr. Chapman.
"You, next to the late girl, what is your name?" He cleared his throat and said his name quietly. "Well then Mr. Hubert, since you and Miss. Carter seem to be close friends I will go ahead and assign you to Dr. Romano also."
Jason rolled his eyes and Lexie tried not to laugh. They exchanged glances though out the rest of the lecture and then they were excused to go find their resident.
They walked up to the admit desk and stood waiting on the girl on the phone. She finally hung up and Lexie cleared her throat.
"We are looking for Dr. Romano." She said and the girl raised her eyebrows.
"Why?" She asked.
"We are his 4th year med students."
She made a sympathetic face. "Whom did you piss off?"
Lexie and Jason looked at each other with fear in their eyes. The girl got up and took them back to an exam room in the back. They could hear him yelling from the hall.
"Now explain something to me if you can. How many people did you have to sleep with to graduate from nursing school?" The admit clerk pushed the door open as the nurse came running out crying.
"Dr. Romano." The clerk said and he turned around and Lexie almost passed out. It was the same asshole from the parking garage. He saw her also and glared at her.
"What?" He bellowed.
"These are your med students." He grinned at them and laughed.
"Wow, how much does your day suck?" he asked Lexie and she sighed. He looked at them both as the clerk left. Jason walked over to him and stuck out his hand.
"Dr. Romano, I am Jason Hubert."
Robert looked at him and shook his head. "Well great. Good to know you. Hey, can we start hanging out and become fast friends for life?"
Jason looked down and Robert looked at Lexie who glared back.
"And you would be."
She swallowed the lump in her throat.
"Barbara Carter, but I prefer Lexie."
He raised an eyebrow at her. "And I prefer you to be on time. From now on be here on time or don't come. And I swear to God himself if I hear any excuses I will push you down and kick you until you are dead. Are we clear?"
She glared harder.
"Yes." She hissed.
"Do you want a tour?" He asked and she nodded. "Fine, have one of the nurses show you around on your own time. What do you know how to do?"
They both looked at him with blank stares.
"Wonderful. I take your lack of response as my answer." They both still just stared at him. He shook his head and walked past them. They stood there and he turned around and crossed his arms. "Excuse me children, I know you are probably both used to having your ass's wiped by someone else but you are in my world now." They both stared wide-eyed at him.
"That was my warm and fuzzy way of telling you both to move you ass's now!"
He turned and walked out the door and Jason and Lexie looked at each other and shook their heads. Romano stuck his head back in the door. "You do both speak English right?" He said and walked out again and they followed him out. And so began their love hate relationship.
