She sat at her desk, it was getting late, probably about 2AM? She had stayed late at the office to finish the days paperwork, she felt it would help if she got it out of the way then insted of the morning.
betsy didnt want to go home that night anyway, or to be honest any night at all. She hated her creepy apartment, her dangerous neighbourhood, her 'noisy' neighbours. but she had no choice but to return to it.
she was done packing her belongings and was making her way out of the door when she heard a yelp and a loud bang followed by a string of obsainitys in an adorable british accent.
'doctor reed? are you okay?' betsy asked as she jogged to aid the man, her purse forgotten at her desk.
'oh..um...betsy? hey.. how come your still here?' jeremy asked straightening his tie and picling up the remaining books and pens abandond on the floor by the fallen shelf
'i was finishing my paperwork, are you okay?' she asked again, concern etched onto her young face.
'yes im fine bets' replied the newly composed doctor.
'well okay then im just gonna head on home, but i doubt i'll be able to hail a cab at this time of night so i guess i'll just walk'
'What betsy you cant be serious! at this time of night on your nighbourhood? no way! i cant allow that i think you should stay with me tonight' jeremy said with an affermitive nod.
'really, doctor reed, its no trouble' betsy said, trying to reason with him.
'no i insist'
'but...but... doctor reed...'
'please betsy. i need to know you'll be safe' he pleaded with her.
betsy agreed to go with him and they were soon strapping themselves into his car.
'make yourself at home' he said once they arrived, taking her coat and bags and hanging them by the door.
'thank you doctor reed, this is too kind.' betsy said greatfully and smiled at him.
he returned her smile and politly asked if she wanted anything to eat.
'uhh... sure that would be great, thanks doctor reed'
'its fine, and please call me jeremy'
'okay... um...jeremy' betsy said awkwardly
jeremy chuckled.
'whats funny?' betsy asked.
'uhh...um...nothing really its just...your very cute betsy' jeremy said slowly, scratching the back of his head nervously, feeling a scarlett blush make home on his cheeks.
'ohh..um..thank you jeremy' she replied shyly, feeling her own blush match his.
they smiled at eachother slowly
'are you cold?' jeremy asked feeling a shiver run up his neck.
'it is a bit chilly in here' betsy stated, as she watched jeremy jog to the thermostat on the otherside of the room.
'oh god no! not now! no'
'whats wrong doctor...umm jeremy?' betsy asked.
'arrh...the stupid thermostat is broken' jeremy huffed.
'...oh...' betsy said
'yeah, if you think its cold now its only gonna get colder, umm i think it would be best if you slept in my bed tonight...'
'oh umm..'
'you dont have to if you dont want to!' jeremy said quickly afriad of her rejection.
'no i umm want to- umm i think its a good idea...' betsy said, and watched as he sighed, relieved.
'i'll get you something to wear for bed, your okay with wearing one of my shirts?' he asked.
'yeah thats fine' she replied
he left the room and returnd shortly with a large white shirt.
'thank you' she said and promptly went to the bathroom to dress.
jeremy went to his bedroom and took his clothes of and simply replced them with a pair of baggy shorts thst reached just above his knees.
he smoothed his bed sheets as he waited for betsy to come out of the ensuite bathroom, for some reason he felt nervous. sure he had had attractive women in his room before- wait did he just atmit he found her atractive? he gulped sudenly aware of how dificuilt this night could be.
betsy emerged from the bathroom slowly. the shirt hung losely on he small frame with sleves rolled up to her elbows and the end reaching mid thigh. jeremy was stunned and continued to stare at her, she blushed deeply and looked away. jeremy snapped out of his trance and gestured towards the bed awkwardly.
'thank you for doing this jeremy' she said as they slid in next to eachother.
'its fine betsy' he replied.
soon enough betsy fell asleep and jeremy watched as she snuggled into his side, her head resting on his chest and it was in that moment, that jeremy knew that this is what he wanted. the thought alone terrified him but he knew that getting to wake up to this beautiful, smart, kind and careing and perfect woman everyday would be worth the struggle of making her his.
