Chapter 4 - A Photo Feeling

Rita dashed into work it seemed that after leaving Connie's she just couldn't concentrate on anything apart from the hug. When she got home she had got ready for work but had sat down thinking of what it meant. Dismissing the hug as Connie just being grateful for Rita being there for her she looked at the time and cursed knowing she was going to be a few minutes late.

Rita went to her locker and changed into her work clothes, she made herself look a bit more presentable and left the room to find out what was on the agenda today. She passed Lily and stopped to ask if she was okay, then said hello to Charlie. She was just about get her first patient when Connie called her over.

"Robyn can you take over for me, I won't be long."

Robyn nodded and added a good luck, Rita made her way to Connie's office and Connie shut the door. Rita took a seat and waited for Connie to do the same, when she did Rita looked at her meekly she knew why she had been called in...for being late.

"I assume you know why I've called you in?" Connie asked.

Rita nodded with an answer,

"It's because I'm late and I'm really sorry it won't happen again Ms Beauchamp."

Connie screwed her face up at the formal name she thought after last night they were friends and could use each others first names.

"Why were you late Rita?"

Rita started thinking for an answer,

"Car trouble..."

There was no way Connie believed her and Rita knew it when she looked at Connie's face she felt like shit lying to her but she couldn't well say it was because she was thinking about their hug too much!

"You know Rita after last night I would have thought you could at least tell me the truth, this cannot happen again though. I like you Rita and I think we have a great friendship building but I can't pose you as one of my favourites it would look bad, is that clear." There wasn't venom in Connie's voice like yesterday but there was a certain demand to it.

"Yes I understand Ms Beauchamp and again I am sorry."

Rita stood up and Connie followed, as Rita walked towards the door Connie stopped her.

"And Rita less of the Beauchamp we are friends call me Connie."

Rita opened the door and Connie suddenly remembered something, something that could possibly stop Rita from arriving late again.

"One more thing, if you are late again I might be persuaded to share this sleeping giraffe picture I have on my phone of you."

Rita whipped her head around, she stared at Connie and saw the playful glint.

"You wouldn't, how did you get that?" Rita whined.

Connie smirked,

"Well someone did fall asleep on my sofa last night."

Rita huffed now Connie had something on her! Sure it wasn't that bad not if you didn't mind everyone at work taking the piss out of you and Rita didn't want that. She tried to catch Connie out,

"Why do you even have it anyway? I mean why did you take it?"

Connie hadn't expected that question she expected Rita to huff and whine about it then walk away, she was caught off guard but managed to compose herself.

"I couldn't resist it, you were damn well cute Freeman and I knew I could use it for leverage someday." Connie finished with a playful wink and Rita blushed again!

"I want to see the picture." Rita demanded.

"Sorry no can do besides you have work to do." Connie said.

"Fine but even if I have to use my physical strength to get your phone so I can see it I will." Rita stuck her tongue out at Connie and walked away smiling. Connie chuckled and everyone around her stopped and stared.

"What!?" Connie shouted.

No one answered and just made themselves look busy again and Connie walked into her office she sat down and wandered what Rita was going to do. To be honest Rita was so small she didn't think she would even get past her and then Connie thought, she would welcome the physical side of Rita anyday. Connie smirked at herself and got her e-mails up, she composed a message to send to Grace telling her amongst other things that she would call her later. Connie stood and left her office to find out what was going on today in her ED she found herself in a particular chipper mood knowing that people would think she was an alien she tried to hide it.

After treating some patients lunch time came around and this set Rita on a warpath to get Connie's phone and delete said image. She knew she was only playing with Connie but she still wanted to win, grabbing a sandwich she knocked on Connie's office door but there was no answer. Rita looked around and no one seemed interested in what she was doing, quietly she made her way into the office and after placing her sandwich down on the table she rummaged around the room hopefully to find Connie's phone.

The door opened widely whilst Rita was halfway looking in a drawer she quickly shut it and Connie looked at her smiling.

"Looking for this?" Connie said and wiggled her phone in front of Rita.

Rita stood up and made her way closer to Connie, she shut the blinds fully and it kind of made Connie nervous. Rita then pushed Connie against the now shut office door, she held her two arms either side of Connie and looked up at her. Connie's breathing started to speed up and she hated the way she was acting like she was losing control...because she was and what was Rita playing at? Connie forgot about her phone and dropped it, Rita quickly picked it up and pocketed it. She stood in front of Connie and looked at her, she heard the pattern change of Connie's breath and when she looked into her eyes she was sure she saw lust? Rita didn't know what to do, she just broke the intense connection and patted her pocket.

Connie looked at waiting for an explanation,

"Told you I'd get your phone." Rita left the room.

Connie still in shock of what had happened continued to stand there until she came to her senses, besides the fact that she needed her phone she didn't want Rita deleting the first photo she had of her she wanted to keep it well treasure it. Connie left her office to hunt down Rita.
