Not Another Typical Cinderella Story.
Chapter 4
Cristina checked her hair in the mirror one last time before a knock on the door startled her out of her own thoughts. She didn't know why she was so nervous. This was Owen Hunt that she was talking about.
She pulled down her black dress and answered the door with a smile on her face. Owen was looking as handsome as ever in a tux. He handed her a set of daisies and she looked at him.
"Are the flowers bad?" he asked.
"I usually get roses."
"I'm so sorry. I'm messing up this date already. I mean you didn't strike me as a rose person so I got you daisies since they're less traditional. But if you want roses instead I can get you some."
"No, I'm okay. You're actually the first guy to figure out that I hate roses or anything that's traditional for that matter."
"Oh thank God."
She smiled and took his hand.
"So what do you have planned for me?"
"Just a baseball game and maybe dinner afterwards."
"Wow that sounds nice."
He smiled as they drove to the game.
Cristina thought the game was a nice change of pace and she loved every second of it. Owen even took her out to the practice field to play a little baseball themselves.
Cristina had just hit another ball when Owen had asked her the question.
"Where did you learn to play like that?"
"My father taught me."
"Well I bet he's an amazing man."
"Yea he was."
"Was?"
"He died in a car crash when I was nine. I tried to save him, but he died anyway. That's why I want to be a cardiac surgeon, so I can save lives like I couldn't save his."
"That's very admirable."
Cristina smiled and hit another ball, so far the date was going well. After they had finished their game, which she won of course, Cristina and Owen grabbed a few hot dogs and ate them on the way back to her dorm. It had been one hell of a night and Cristina was shocked that she didn't want it to end.
When they stopped by her door he smiled and kissed her lips. The kiss was soft and warm, not at all what she was used to, but she wouldn't lie to herself. She loved every minute of it except for the part when it was over.
"Goodnight Yang."
"Goodnight Hunt."
Cristina let herself into the dorm room and shut the door. What had she just got herself into?
