Rebecca stepped to the side, letting Simon all the way in. She watched as he flipped on the light and walked further into the room, leaving his shoes behind at the door. Mimicking his movement, she bent down and untied her tennis shoes, sliding her feet out of them one at a time. Standing upright, she moved further into the room, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. She looked up to Simon who was currently facing away from her.
"So…" she tried to break the silence that was threatening to strangle the pair.
"So, what?" Simon turned and faced her, running a hand through his short, brownish-blonde locks.
"So…what's causing you so much stress with your job?" She asked, thinking that she'd leave the brother matter for later. It was a personal issue and she didn't want to push him away by forcing him to talk about it.
"What?" Simon's tone filled with confusion, but he spoke almost as soon as he had quit, "Right, uh, it's just that…" Think you idiot, think! "All these surgeries…saving people that try and kill us for a living…it's just ludacris." Sure, that sounds believable.
"Well, yes, it is, but we don't really have a choice…do we?" Rebecca looked to her hands as they fumbled with themselves. She had fought with this feeling long before ever speaking with Simon about it. It almost felt good knowing she wasn't alone.
"Don't we? I mean, we're the ones that control how we fix the person…" Simon turned his back to her once more, squatting down in front of the nightstand next to his bed. Opening the door, he pulled out a large bottle of Vodka.
Rebecca leaned over onto her side, pulling the alcoholic beverage from his hands, "Ok, one, you don't need this. Two, yes, we are the ones in control most of the time, and I guess, in reality, we could do something wrong on purpose to end their life, but we became doctors to save lives, no matter what, correct?"
Simon stood and sat next to Rebecca on the bed, looking directly into her eyes, "I'm beginning to wonder why I chose this career…"
"Because you're an amazing guy who has the talent and heart to save the lives of people…that's why you chose this career." Rebecca set the vodka down on the floor between her feet, out of reach of the man who desperately wanted to escape his feelings.
Simon's lips formed a small smile, "Thanks, Rebecca. But what about you? What makes you forget those feelings?"
"Which feelings?" she asked, pressing her hands into the mattress behind her and rocking her weight back and forth.
"The feelings of wanting to kill those who harm the ones we care about the most," Simon laid back on the bed, clasping his hands behind his head, "The feelings we shouldn't be having."
"Well," Rebecca turned over, moving further onto the bed and positioning herself on her stomach, "I just think about the people I do love, and know that, no matter how much I want the assassinator killed, it won't do me any good in the end. I'd lose everything over one killer…I wouldn't ever risk it."
"Not ever?" Simon propped his head up for a moment, waiting for her response.
Rebecca sighed, "Honestly, I can't be sure, but I'd hope never."
He nodded, resting his head back down on his hands.
Rebecca watched him as new thoughts swirled in her mind about decisions in the work place. Trying to avoid the thoughts from forcing their way in even further, Rebecca moved on to the more sensitive area of topics, "What about your brother?"
"What about him?" he closed his eyes.
"You said he's a part of what you were thinking about. Is something happening with him?" her voice became soft, quieting with each word.
Simon's hands moved to cover his face. He sighed heavily, "Can we not ruin a good day by talking about my freak of a brother."
Rebecca looked away, "That's fine. Just know," she turned back to him, moving one of her hands to rest of his chest, "I'm here for you. To talk, to listen, anything."
Simon nodded, "I know. You're a good person, Rebecca." And I'm falling madly in love with you.
"Thanks," Rebecca smiled, feeling heat rise to her cheeks. She dropped her head into her hands to hide it.
"Oh, did my remark make Major Gordon blush?" Simon poked her side, laughing loudly.
Rebecca lifted her head, joining in his laughter. She shoved him playfully, "Shut up!"
Simon took this as a playful threat and rolled on top of her, pinning her to his mattress. "So, Gordon, are you as strong and tom boyish as you claim to be?"
Rebecca moved both hands to his shoulders, her grip tightening as she spoke, "I guess you're going to find out!"
She used her legs and pushed her body over, rolling Simon back onto his back, now in a compromising position on top of him.
Simon stared up at her, his heart beginning to pick up pace. God, can't I just kiss you? His eyes found hers, watching to see what she would do next.
Rebecca stared intently back into his eyes, wondering the same thing. Seeing that they were getting nowhere, she leaned in to him, her lips hanging mere centimeters from his ear. In a soft whisper, she spoke, "Guess I'm stronger than you thought, huh?" And, boy, are your muscles turning me on right now.
Chills ran down Simon's body, from the top of his head, all the way down to the tips of his toes. He felt paralyzed. He was now realizing what kind of affect this particular woman had on him, and boy was he enjoying it.
