Chapter 4
Cristina woke up alone. Burke had to work today. She took the day off. First they didn't believe that Cristina Yang wanted a free day. But her father was in town so she wanted to spend time with him. She went under the shower, put her clothes on and did her hair. She needed coffee but she called her dad. They could take together coffee and talk about serious things.
They were in Starbucks. She ordered a normal coffee and her father took cappuccino. They found a place to sit. Cristina started ''Did you sleep well last night?''. ''Yes I did but I don't think that is on your mind right?'' her father asked. He and Burke were probably the only people that could read her mind. Cristina hesitated how could she this on a good way. ''You know when I went to college I didn't heard anything of you, why dad?'' this sounded a little as the little girl inside of Cristina. A side you almost never saw of her. Only Burke saw that and her father of course. Nathan didn't know where to start he had so many things to tell and how could he make this up to her. Just a visit wasn't enough. He had to win his daughter's trust back. ''You know Cristina, I moved from Beverly Hills to New York. I wanted something new and when I was moving and you went to college I though that we wouldn't have enough time for each other'' It was hard for him to explain this to Cristina she would maybe never understand why he didn't called her anymore. Cristina was a little mad all those years she found it hard to trust someone and her father thought it has to go that way. She looked to her father who was drinking his cappuccino void. He was talking again ''I'm sorry Cristina I really am but people change and you can't be always my little girl you need space to grow'' There is a time as a parent the let your child to grow emotionally. He could only let Cristina grow if he didn't have contact with her. He waited, he hoped she understood him more know. ''And look at you know, you're such a beautiful young woman that lives together with her boyfriend and is such a grown-up. I'm proud of you''. For some fathers it was hard to see that a guy conquered their little girl's heart. For Nathan it wasn't he knew she was happy with him. And that was all that matters. Cristina was satisfied of the complements her father gave he never gave so much complements in one sentence. ''So you like my boyfriend?'' She asked. Nathan answered ''Well he seemed nice and he's orderly not like your boyfriends when you where 16'' her boyfriends of them where guys that only wanted sex. But when he was 16 he thought about that too he had to agree. Cristina didn't want to think about when she was sixteen. At that time she was experimenting. I think that says enough. Nathan looked at the clock that was hanging it was already 12.30 his stomach said it was time for lunch. "So Cristina, do you know a place where we can lunch?'' and they were going to lunch.
Burke was at work. He was finally done with a big surgery and called Cristina several times. Her voicemail was on. He sighed he only saw her when he was leaving but she still a sleep he hoped she saw his not. It was in the coffee cup that was next of the coffee maker. He always takes every morning his coffee. He had this feeling that she didn't had seen the note.
Cristina was home and her father was at his hotel. About a half an hour she and her father would go to the ballet show Le Chant du Rossignol. She wanted to see Burke before she would go. He had to work till seven. But there were probably complications at his surgery. So she wrote a note to him and laid it on the table.
B.
I'm going with my dad to Le Chant du Rossignol.
I don't know when I'm home but it's before midnight.
Bye
C.
Cristina wasn't someone who would and the note with 'I love you or kisses' but Burke knows that. Her father was waiting outside on her so she had to go. She was a bit disappointed, she hadn't seen Burke all day. She hoped he wouldn't be mad.
Burke came home. He walked and saw the coffee cup standing with the note still next to it. She probably didn't saw it. He wanted to lunch with her. But she didn't called and she didn't show up. There was a note on the table. She was gone with her dad to a ballet show. She liked ballet. There was again a thing her dad did with her and he didn't. He wasn't a fan of ballet but if Cristina liked it he would go only to spend time with her. He decided to eat and than he would read and wait till Cristina came home.
It was already 01.00 and she wasn't home. Where was she? He was almost done with his book. He heard the click of the door. That meant Cristina was home and safe. She walked to the bedroom and she saw him and she was changing herself in her pyjama after the ballet show she met an old friend and they went out for a drink. When she was laying against him he could smell the alcohol. She went to the bar. So now he couldn't ask her why she was so late. But she was now safe in his arms. Were she belonged for the night.
