"Oh I watch you there through the window and I stare at you/You wear nothing but you wear it so well/tied up and twisted the way I'd like to be/For you, for me, come crash into me/"

I woke up to the sound of Dave Matthews Band playing from my radio clock. I glanced over at the clock. I groaned. It was four in the morning. I stumbled out of bed and to the bathroom.

"Morning, Jen," Bradley said, stepping out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Morning," I grumbled.

I ran my toothbrush under the sink water and then put toothpaste on it and started brushing my teeth.

"You sleep well?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm still tired though. You know how it is," I replied.

"Yeah," he agreed.

"Hey, you," Katie said, walking into the bathroom and kissing Bradley.

"Morning," Bradley smiled.

"Hey, has anyone seen a wet towel? I was going to put it in the laundry," Alex said, coming into the bathroom. His hair was a dark, wet mess from showering.

"Yeah, I already brought it down stairs," Katie replied.

"Oh okay, thanks," Alex said.

"Hey can everyone leave? I have to pee," I asked.

"Oh yeah, sure," the all mumbled before leaving. I shut the door, finally getting some peace and quiet.

I lived in a full house. Well technically, it was my house but there were three other interns living in it along with me. We worked at a hospital called St. Ambrose here in Seattle where we were interning there as surgeons. My dad died when I was young and my mom had just died so I had inherited her house. I guess that's what happens when you're an only child. The house was too big for one person to live in so I had decided to look for roommates and here we were a house full of doctors.

By the time I had gone down stairs, coffee was ready. I poured some into my coffee mug and sealed the lid on top.

"Ready to go?" Alex asked me.

"Yeah," I replied.

"I think we're running a little early but hey, that never killed anyone," Alex said.

I shrugged, "I like being early."

I took a sip of my coffee, closing my eyes.

"Hey, are you alright?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I replied, snapping out of what I was in. "I haven't been sleeping very well lately."

"Oh okay," Alex said.

We all climbed into Bradley's Honda CRV and made our way to the hospital. The entire way, I just stared outside the window and watched as we passed by the trees. Surgery was one of the only things that ever made me feel alive so basically, when I wasn't scrubbing in, I felt dead. After everything that had happened, I just felt like I was going through the motions. I didn't feel like me anymore. I needed to find that again. Us four interns got out of the car and went into the hospital.

"Interns! Today is a busy day so you better be on top of your game. Paulson come with me, Capshaw, you're with Coats today, Johnson, Dr. Stevens has requested your service and Montgomery, you're in the pit today," Dr. Moran ordered. Dr. Addison Moran was one of the finest general surgeons yet. She was amazing and still in her own learning process. I was glad to study under her but she also still scared me. Once we all dispersed, I groaned. What had I done to get the pit? Basically, I'd be doing sutures all day.

I walked down to the ER and I was met by a nurse the minute I got here.

"You may want to look at this. I man came in today with a really deep knife wound. It could be something more so we wanted surgical," she said.

"Okay," I replied, sighing. I got his clipboard and started reading it over. I pulled the curtain to the ER bed open to reveal a man whose shoulder was bleeding a lot. They had put a tourniquet over just to stop the bleeding but it was all bloody.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Montgomery," I introduced myself, putting the clipboard down.

"Dean," the guy replied. I then took one good look at him. He was handsome. He had short, spiky dirty blonde hair and green eyes. He was very well built, great jaw, and had a grin that could kill.

"Nice meeting you. Do you mind if I take a look?" I asked.

"Not at all," he replied.

The shirt was dirty. I cut into the tear, so that I could fully examine the wounds.

"Hm, looks like you're only going to need stitches," I said, sighing.

"So I'm not dying?" Dean chuckled.

"No, why?" I asked him. I then started to clean off the wound. He winced a bit as I pressed the alcohol wipes to his wound.

"Well you just seem disappointed," he replied.

"Sorry, I was just hoping for something surgical but you'll have to do," I said back.
He smirked, "What's a pretty girl like you doing in surgery? Isn't that a man's job?"

"Here, take the drugs. They'll help numb you for the stitches," I said, ignoring his comment.
He swallowed the pills with water, "You never answered my question."

"Maybe I don't want to," I replied. I then started stitching away.

"So how exactly did you get this again?"

"Long story," Dean replied.

I tied up the stitches and then dressed the wound with bandages.

"You never answered my question," I mocked.

"I did answer your question, I just didn't give you the answer you wanted to haer," Dean challenged. Had I met my match?

"Fine. Come back in a couple of days so that I can give you new bandages and stuff and we'll see if we can remove the stitches," I replied. I removed my plastic gloves and threw them in the trash.

"Or, how about I take you out on date?" Dean offered. I had to admit, he was really attractive and I was definitely attracted to him.

I chuckled a little, "How about not?" I asked back.

"Why not?" Dean asked. Did he not take no for an answer? Oh, so he was that guy.

"Well, because I'm your doctor and that'd be inappropriate," I replied.

"Well I'll be back in a few days. Think on it," Dean smirked. That smirk should be illegal. I could feel my heart rate speeding up. It was almost like the rush I got during surgery.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't," I said.

"You've got three days to think about it," Dean said.

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.

"Hey, why are you so smiley?" Katie asked, seeing me during our lunch break.

"No reason," I replied.

"Oh my God, you totally just had sex in the on call room. With who?" Katie accused.

"NO! I did not! I was in the pit all day," I replied. "Plus there's no one here to have sex with anyways."

"Hah, yeah right. Hot patient?" she asked. I didn't answer. "Ooh, hot patient that flirted with you." No reply once again. "Hot patient that asked you out?" No reply. "AND YOU LIKED IT!"

"Liked what?" Alex asked, sitting down next to me with his lunch tray.

"A hot patient asked Jennie out," Katie replied.

"You didn't say yes, did you?" Alex asked, defensively.

"No, that'd be inappropriate," I replied.

"What would be inappropriate?" Bradley asked, sitting down next Alex.

"A hot patient asked Jennie out," Katie said.

"Seriously? Katie, stop telling everybody!" I exclaimed.

"Well they wanted to know," Katie shrugged.

"Look at her, she's blushing. Oh you're so into him. Any chance you got his number?" Bradley asked.

"Um, no. But believe me, he was the kind of guy that would ask. He's the kind of guy that doesn't take no for an answer," I replied.

"Sutures?" Katie asked.

"Yeah," I answered.

"Oh, so he'll be coming back in like three days! You better hit that," she replied.

My jaw dropped, "Katie! What about… we are doctors!"

"So?" Katie asked.

"Woah girl, please don't tell me you've been doing patients,"Bradley said.

"No, just you," Katie replied, chuckling at her boyfriend.

"I've got to go. Stevens just paged me," I said, standing up.

"See you," Katie said.

"We're talking later," Bradley added.
