The Ring On My Finger

April woke up her mind was hazy and fuzzy. She couldn't remember what happened last night, where she was, or how she ended up there and her head was pounding which meant one thing. Last night she was drunk, this morning she had a hangover. She groaned and rolled over bright sunlight hitting her face causing her to scrunch up her eyes and groan again. Her head was pounding, her body was sore, her mouth was as dry as sandpaper and so far her stomach was fine.

She arched her back stretching out the muscles and stretched her arms, her right hand hitting something next to her. She looked across and it was then she saw she was not alone and it was then she realized she was naked. She had slept with someone, she had been drunk, she had slept with someone. She had, she'd given away her virginity in a one night stand with some, some guy. She looked at the guy. It wasn't just any guy it was Jackson Avery – her colleague and best friend.

Then she remembered whispers from the night before calling Jackson's name and whispers of love. She was so screwed, there was one little fact that no one knew April was in love with Jackson but harboured her feelings because it wasn't that big a deal to her. The love she felt wasn't strong but after last night after making love with him she was screwed literally she was defiantly in love with Jackson Avery and defiantly in trouble.

Her heart and head were battling whether to flee or stay. If she stayed it could be the start of something and if she went she could keep it herself unless Jackson remembers who she was. Her thoughts were stalled however when Jackson rolled over and came face to face with her.

"Morning April," he smiled

"Morning," mumbled April

"Hey what's up?" asked Jackson

"I need to go," said April sitting up and clutching the bed sheets to her chest her eyes searching the room for her clothes.

Jackson's long muscular arms reached out and stopped her from leaving the warm confines of his bed.

"Don't go," he whispered

"Please stay have some breakfast," he said

"OK," agreed April "But you need to leave the room and while I get dressed,"

"Why?" asked Jackson as he slipped out of bed

"I'm insecure about my body ok. If you don't remember I was the twenty nine year old virgin," said April hiding her face in hands.

Jackson slipped on his boxers and crossed the room to her pry her hands from her face.

"Believe me when I say you have the body of a goddess. You're gorgeous and you have nothing to be insecure about. Before you say it you're not fat, you're a cuddly girl. Seriously guys don't like girls who have nothing on them. Guys like curves and you have perfect curves," smiled Jackson

"Really?" asked April a small smile on her face

"Would you like me to show you?" asked Jackson pressing a small kiss to April's uncovered shoulder

"That's ok," smiled April

Jackson looked up at her face and then slowly leaned over her and started peppering kisses all over April exposed skin.

These actions had April giggling and wiggling before Jackson realized her body and stood up.

April rose from the bed, sheets still clutched to her body and began to pick up her clothes that were scattered around the room. She watched for a moment as Jackson searched for a pair of jeans his back muscles rippling as he moved.

"There on the floor," she said as she pulled her dress over her head.

Jackson turned and spotted the jeans and pulled them on before looking up at her.

"Thanks and you're beautiful," he said

She blushed and looked down. "Thank you."

"You know," said Jackson, as they were seated at the table. "I'm excepting you to freak out more."

"I'm sure it will hit more later," answered April. "I already had a freak out when I woke up and when I got dressed."

"Are you ok? You're not sore or anything?" asked Jackson.

"A little. But it feels like a good sore I don't remember a thing apart from whispers," admitted April, a piece of hair feel into front of her eyes and she reached up to push it back behind her ear.

It was then Jackson noticed the gold band on her finger and he reached out his hand to pull her hand to him. So he could see.

"Well this just got a whole lot more complicated," he muttered.

"What?" asked April.

Jackson looked at her inwardly debating how to break the news to her.

"Well by the ring on your finger I'm guessing you're no longer April Kepner. You're April Avery," answered Jackson.

April paled and looked at her ring finger and then Jackson and then back at Jackson. She paled more, her breaths started coming out fast and deep, nausea began to build in her stomach. She broke out in sweat as she went light headed and spots danced in front of her eyes.

"Jackson," she croaked.

Jackson was by her side in a second and then it went black.

There was no doubt in her mind as April came too that Jackson had caught her as she passed out, there was doubt in her mind that she was still in his room.

She cracked open her eyes and his worried gaze met hers.

"Jackson what are we going to do?"

"It's going to be ok you just get some rest," whispered Jackson.

The last thought on April's mind as she fell asleep was they were meant to be a medical conference right now.

That was how they got into this mess in the first place. A medical conference in the one and only place you'd think not to hold a medical conference – Las Vegas.
