After
the stupid debriefing thing she couldn't help it, she was pissed
off.
She didn't know what she wanted to do. She was so mad at
Luka and Clemente.
What, did they think it was a game? The little
girl died, because those two
couldn't get it together, and
possibly because she had chosen to follow the
wrong
attending.
She just couldn't get his words out of her
head "I'm the attending now." He
said. And after that
he basically ignored her for the rest of the time they
were
working on her. He looked hurt that she hadn't followed his orders
and
chosen to follow Clemente's. Like he was jealous or
something, but that
would be crazy. What could he possibly have
to be jealous of?
She got onto the El, and when she
approached Luka's stop, without even
thinking she walked out. She
had no idea what she was going to say when she
saw him. All she
knew is that she was pissed and just needed to vent at him.
Abby
walked over to his door, knocking a few times. She figured she wasn't
home and sighing went to the elevator. When the door opened
behind her, she
saw him come out. He looked work out and
tired.
"Hey." he said looking at her, obviously surprised to see her.
"Hey."
"Wanna
come in." He asked, gesturing toward his apartment. She gave a
quick
nod. She walked into his apartment. Luka closed the door
behind her following
her in.
"You didn't go to
that debriefing." Abby started, knowing she had to say
something. She got all the way here, she couldn't just be
silent.
"Did you?" He asked, surprised when she answered yes.
"Yeah, it was just me, Eve and
Clemete." She said, stopping in front of his
coffee table
turning back to him.
"Are you hungry? I got some pizza, I can warm it up if you..."
"No, I'm not hungry." She said, interrupting him.
"Ok." He said, nodding, looking down. "Mad about something?"
"What do you think?" She said, looking at him, not with a happy face.
"Yes." He said, she
looked at him waiting for him to go on. Say something,
anything.
"Look I didn't need to go to that debriefing."
"Yeah,
I don't care about that." Now she was getting even more mad. She
dropped her bag on the table. How could he think she cared about
that? How
could he not get it?
"What are you talking about?" he asked her absolutely lost.
"I'm
talking about you and Clemente. You wanna get into a piecing match
with
him, that's fine. Just leave me out of it."
"He was wrong." Luka said, trying to get her to see his point.
Abby shook her head, still annoyed How could he
think this was more
important. "Yeah, and that's the most
important thing, isn't it? He was wrong
and you were right. And
while you were arguing about it, that little girl died
today."
She said looking at him. He had never seen her like this. Caring
towards patients, of course, that's just Abby. But she was really
upset by
this. "As if she hadn't suffered enough."
Luke
looked at her, letting her continue. "G-d, she was 10 yrs old
Luka. And
he had her for months, and I just can't stop thinking
about it." her voice
started breaking. He takes a step
closer to her. "And I can't stop thinking
about how afraid
she must have been. And I can't stop thinking about why we
couldn't
save her. I just..."
He walked over to her and cups
her face in his hands. She breathed softly
looking up at him, as
he leaned down. They both closed their eyes as his lips
met hers.
At first it was soft, but then he leaned in again deepening the
kiss. As he pulled back he brushed his lips against her, both
opening their
eyes slowly.
Luka looked down, a little
ashamed with his actions. Then when he looked back
at Abby, she
was just looking up at him. He started moving his hands away
from
her face, but she was faster. Abby leaned up and kissed him. She put
her
hands softly on his cheeks, rubbing her thumbs over
them.
He didn't miss a beat and kissed her back right
away. His tongue brushed
against her lips and she opened her
mouth letting him in. That was enough of
a yes for him. Luka
moved his hands from her neck down to her shoulders to
take her
jacket off. She didn't protest, just removed her hands from his face
long enough for him to do it.
Abby then moved her
hands to the back of his neck, playing with the little
hairs at
the nape of his neck. Luka started moving his kissed to her cheek,
ten her ear, and down her neck. Abby moved her head to the side
to give him
better access.
He pulled away from her
slowly, looking down at her. He started smiling
softly, and she
couldn't help but do the same. She chuckled a little and
leaned
her head down, not looking at him.
Luka moved his hands to
her waist, and picked her up. Abby gasped from
surprise, but
quickly responded by moving her feet around his waist. He
started
walking towards the stairs. Her head was on his shoulder as
he
carried her up the stairs.
She started thinking
about whether they should really be doing this, but when
they
reached his bedroom, and he looked her in the eyes, she knew the
answer.
She was tired of contemplating, tired of over thinking,
overanalyzing. She
leaned down to kiss him now.
Not
moving too slowly, not thinking about every action. Just feeling.
Luka
wanted to move her toward the bed, but that seemed too far,
so he settled for
the wall. He leaned her up against it, not
breaking their kiss.
Abby began to kiss his neck, moving
as far as his shirt would let her. Then
a thought occurred to
her, and she started unbuttoning it, moving her lips
down with
her hands. She pulled back from him, looking him in the eyes as he
moved his hands down to the waistband and pulling her shirt over
her head,
revealing a black bra.
"Maybe we should
move to the bed." Luka whispered, seeing Abby nod at this,
he
took a few steps back, not realizing the bed was so close, he
stumbled on
the mattress, falling on it, landing with Abby on top
of him. They both
laughed as Abby removed his shirt, kissing down
his chest, as he leaned back
on the bed, his hands moving all
over Abby's body, down her back, his hands
moving slightly under
the band of her bra.
Luka moved his hand to her face now,
bringing her back up to him. "Are you
sure about this?"
He asked in a whisper, hoping she wouldn't say no. Abby
gave
him a sweet smile, as she leaned down and kissed him. That was her
answer.
