I must apologize for the previous version of this chapter. For some ridiculous reason it won't accept any files of mine without doing this, so I have to constantly check. I will try to be more vigilant but I apologize as this one slipped through the net. I hope this is better, and you enjoy the story! :)
It was early September, Cal and Ethan had decided to take the next week off of work so they could have a break. The past couple of months had been really stressful and they needed some time off. As a means of celebrating their time off, Cal had persuaded Ethan to go to the pub with him for a quick drink. All of their friends from the ED were there. Cal found a table before going to the bar to fetch some drinks. As he stood there he glanced towards his brother who looked slightly uncomfortable being surrounded by his already drunken friends so he gestured for him to join him. Ethan jumped out of his seat and came over.
As Cal ordered the drinks he saw a beautiful young lady who he had never seen before. She had long brown hair which caressed her shoulders. Her face was soft, a sweet smile gracing her lips. Ethan was deep in a conversation with Lily about work so he wandered over to her. 'I haven't seen you around here before' he commented
'I've just started working at the real estate place across the street' she explained.
'Hi, I'm Caleb Knight but my friends call me Cal, I work at Holby City's emergency department as a registrar' he said introducing himself.
'What should I call you?' She asked with a cheeky grin.
'Whatever you like babe' he whispered
'Its Emily, but some people call me Em' she murmured.
He bought her a drink and they spent most of e night chatting. As he was leaving Cal scribbled his phone number onto a bar mat and pressed it into her hand. 'Call me, and we can go out for dinner' he whispered before kissing her cheek as he left.
The next day his phone rang, he clutched his head as he climbed out of his bed. He swore under his breath, this was the worst hangover ever. He grabbed his phone and answered it without even looking to see who it was. 'Hello, its Dr Knight' he spoke.
'I know it's you, you numpty, I called you' the voice responded.
At first Cal was confused, who was calling him, and then he remembered. 'Em?' He asked
'Uh yeah, it's me. I thought you might want to go for dinner tonight, I know a really nice place' she said.
Cal agreed to meet her at six. By five o'clock he was ready. He had spent all day pressing his suit, and checking to make sure that he looked good. He gelled his hair and polished his shoes. He wanted to make an effort. This woman was completely different to any other woman he had ever gone out with before. Even Ethan had to admit that they were a stunning couple. The doorbell rang at exactly six and Emily stood there with a bottle of wine.
'Hello gorgeous' she whispered before kissing his cheek. She was wearing a short red dress was gathered in the middle. It stopped just above her knees and her legs seemed to never end. On her feet she wore a pair of strappy red heels. She was stunning.
The date went without any incidents and Cal took her home. He didn't want the evening to end but he knew it would.
