A/N: Sorry for the shorter chapter, but I still hope you enjoy! Thanks for all the awesome reviews so far!
The sun flashed across her face causing Ellis to winced as the beam hit her, rolling over. She didn't hit a wall of pillows though, instead her body hit another body and her eyes snapped open. She could only see his back and before she could see who it was, she raised her covers to peek underneath. Yup. Naked. Pulling the covers back down over top of her tightly, she rolled up onto her elbow, propping herself up to peek over at the sleeping man next to her. Seeing who it was, Ellis's eyes widened. They felt so wide that they could have popped out of her head. She flopped heavily back down onto the bed. It was Luke. She waited, and every few seconds or so would inch closer and closer to the edge of the bed, ready to jump out once she hit the side, but then Luke rolled over, and so did Ellis. She rolled over right off the edge of the bed, taking the blankets with her. This in turn, caused Luke to way up, leaning over the edge of the bed to look down at Ellis who was now rolled up in her own personal blanket burrito.
"Morning," he mumbled, running a hand through his messy bed head. Luke acted rather nonchalantly about a naked, rolled up Ellis laying on what she hoped was the floor of his home. She stayed rolled up, not replying back to him just yet.
Ellis watched quietly as he moved away from her, hearing the bed creak followed by footsteps as Luke's feet hit the floor on the opposite side of the bed. From underneath, she could see him wander back and forth, until he walked into another room and shut the door. This was Ellis' time to flee. Scrambling up, she flung the blankets off of her. Stumbling, she kicked the blankets away from her legs while at the same time reached by her clothes that were laying strung about the room. She was awkward as she struggled to put on her clothes, fumbling around nervously as she tried to quickly dress herself before Luke came back out of the room. She had managed pants and half a shirt before the door creaked open. Ellis stopped, the shirt still over her head.
"Need help?" Luke asked, not waiting for her answer and came towards her, pulling her shirt down over her head. His fingers brushed against her skin. Ellis shivered, and as the shirt came down over her head she met his eyes. And then his bare chest. And then the towel wrapped around his hips. Ellis's face went bright red, and her hand covered her eyes.
Ducking underneath his arm, she tried looking away from him as she backed closer and closer to the door.
"Uh well, whatever we did I'm sure it was great! But, uh-I really should go. I have a long shift today and ..well, you know, dying people need me!"
"What about living people?"
Ellis nervously ran her hands through her hair, still glancing away from him as much as she could, trying to make it look like she hadn't just spent the night with the one person she didn't want to spend it with (well, maybe in her dreams). "They can leave me a voice mail."
Luke smirked, shaking his head, "Ellis-" he started, but she cut him off with a heavy sigh, finally meeting his eyes.
"Luke. We both didn't realize what we were doing. I'm sure it was great but I already have a hard enough time with interns and residents giving me shit because I'm Meredith Grey's daughter. I can't be sleeping with the handsome neurosurgeon. I won't stand a chance."
He moved closer to her, "You think I'm handsome?"
Ellis tried to hold back a smile at his teasing comment, but it managed to poke through, "Shut up," Ellis grumbled, "I really have to go."
Luke nodded, stopping halfway to her, "I'll leave you a voice mail, then." Ellis stared back at Luke, wondering why he kept on her like this. She didn't feel pressured per say, but it sure felt like something, something that she wasn't quite sure of just yet. She wondered if she had said anything to him last night. She probably had been pretty intoxicated to not remember sleeping with him, or it was so bad that she blocked it out of her memory. She was thinking she was just drunk.
"Don't mess around with me, Luke." Ellis narrowed her eyes in his direction.
"I think I already did."
"You know what I mean. I'm not going to, to..mess up my career to worry about some," she motioned towards him, "guy who gets everything he wants anyway." Luke shrugged his shoulders.
"You're right. I am your boss anyways, we shouldn't let this get around."
Ellis nodded in agreement, "Yes. Good idea."
A heavy pause sat between them as they stared at each other across the room. Ellis opened her mouth to speak but Luke met her quickly, his lips crashing down on hers. He held her faces in his hands, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, standing up on her tip toes to meet his kisses easier. For what felt lasted forever, finally ended with both of them pulling away from each other.
"I have to go," Ellis breathed.
Luke dropped his hands and took a step back, nodding. Ellis gathered herself as much as she could and turned, finally making her way to the door. "Ellis-" Luke breathed out to her. Ellis looked over her shoulder at him, waiting for him to say something, "You're going to want to get to know me, Ellis Shepherd." Ellis couldn't help but grin, shaking her head and kept on walking.
"I think it's the other way around, Bowen!"
