Chapter 2 – Scrubs and Sorry
EPOV
"Edward...Edward...Edward Anthony Cullen!"
There was something telling me to wake up but for the life of me, my brain was not telling my eyes to open and there was an annoying object being shoved into my side.
I rolled onto my side as my eyes finally cooperated and I was greeted with the sight of my beautiful girl.
"Morning Hun", my voice was gravelly and still full of sleep as I sat up and faced Tanya on the bed. She giggled and pounced onto my lap and pulled me in for a kiss, which would have been great except for my morning breath and her cigarette breath. Ugh.
"Eddie, I hope I won't have to wake you like that every morning once we get married will I?" Tanya growled out playfully. I laughed and grabbed her round the waist, dragging her into the kitchen.
Grabbing the coffee and pouring us both a mug made the morning much better. I sank onto one of the stools in the kitchen as Tanya followed behind, picking up her coffee and running her hands through my hair.
"Rough night Hun?" she smiled and walked in front of me. I looked up into the blue eyes of my best girl and shrugged. "I work in an ER in New York Tan, when is it not a rough night?"
Tanya huffed and spat out, "Well, I just asked!" and flounced off down the hall.
Well, I don't think I said anything wrong but...I could be mistaken.
Tanya and I had met at a hospital function that her family had been invited to. Something about donating a new ward, I was only new to the hospital and coming off a 24 hour shift; trust me when I say, I was only there because I needed to impress the boss.
Still dressed in scrubs I had wandered in to the meeting room of the hospital, hoping to catch the eye of my boss and hightail it out of there. I wasn't planning on meeting this girl, and actually striking up a conversation. Sure she seemed self-centered but damn it, if I could score after a hellish shift like that, I wasn't turning it down.
After spending the night together, things just seemed to fall into a routine. Tanya and I got together and time seemed to flow. There really didn't seem to be any grand gestures between the two of us but we were happy and in love and really, isn't that all you need?
I decided to pop the question on New Years Eve as the ball fell and the countdown began, the perfect way to start the New Year. Tanya was ecstatic and after a small issue with getting her ring resized after she said it just didn't fit right (I thought it was fine, but I was too happy to argue) and the jeweler then losing the ring; we were officially engaged and on the front of the Announcements section of the newspaper looking happier than ever.
The ring business was sorted out with Tanya ending up with a different type of ring. It had a bigger diamond and was more expensive and a lot flashier than the one I originally chose for her. I had worked practically the entire week that this was going on; thank goodness my girl has a good head on her shoulders and can't be swayed by incompetence. She organized the whole thing and talked the jeweler down from us having to pay for the difference between the two rings even though he screwed up in the first place. She may come from money, but she knows when she is being screwed over.
I sighed as I ran my hand through my bronze colored hair and eventually trudged my way down the hallway to my bathroom where I could hear the shower running. As I opened the door, the steam rushed out to meet me and I moved over to sit on top of the closed toilet.
"Tan" I called over the top of the waterfall of water, "I'm sorry Hun, I didn't mean to snap at you, I'm just tired."
I paused for a moment and thought about how to fix my 'mistake' and did the worst thing possible that I could have done at the moment, the one thing that I had been avoiding for as long as possible.
"Hun, do you want to look at some stuff for the wedding today?"
My question was answered as I saw the glorious smile of my girl pop out from behind the shower door...I was in for a long day.
Thanks for reading and don't stress over the relationship we have just discovered...it can all change in a heartbeat!
