A/N sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this story. Thanks for all of the great feedback. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

The next morning as the boys were laying in bed, Luke reached over and gently stroked Reid's cheek. "So Reid, what do you want to do today?"

"I don't know, is there anything special that you want to do Luke?" Reid replied.

"Well today is our last full day in Chicago and I would just like to kind of hang out with you. Uh if that's okay with you, I mean we can go sightseeing if you would rather, I just thought it would be nice to spend the day alone getting to know each other a bit better before we head back to the craziness of Oakdale tomorrow." Luke finally finished.

Reid just smiled tenderly at Luke and reached out to gently stroke Luke's hair. "There's nothing I would rather do than hang out with you Luke." Reid replied.

"Good" Luke replied, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Why don't we shower together and then get dressed and then go out for breakfast. I'm hungry now, and I 'm sure that I will be starving by the time we get downstairs." Reid said as he winked at Luke.

Luke smiled broadly at Reid and said "come on, I'll race you to the bathroom."

Reid laughed happily and scrambled out of bed to beat Luke to the shower.

After a long and very enjoyable shower the boys got dressed and went in search of food. They were both ravenous.

Luke asked the concierge for recommendations for breakfast. The boys were given directions to a quaint restaurant that was a short two block walk from their hotel. It was a glorious sunny day and the boys quickly found the restaurant. As they walked into the restaurant Reid was thrilled as he could smell delicious food. He barely noticed the ambience or the décor. He could only smell the food.

Luke did notice his surroundings and was pleased with the restaurant. He enjoyed the home blue checked tablecloths and the flowers set on each table. He was pleased when the hostess led the two men to a window table. Luke was also glad that the restaurant wasn't too full. He enjoyed having Reid all to himself.

The boys happily perused their menus. Luke opted for whole wheat toast, fresh berries and yoghurt as well as coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. Reid, on the other hand ordered a stack of blueberry pancakes with butter and syrup, two eggs over easy, a side of bacon and a side of sausage, as well as coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice.

"Don't think that I'm going to share any of my food with you Luke" Reid warned the blond. "Why didn't you order a real breakfast?"

Luke just smiled. "I did order a real breakfast; I don't know how you manage to eat all of that food."

"Well don't complain to me when you are still hungry." Reid admonished Luke. "By the way I was blessed with a fast metabolism." I also run everyday and swim twice a week, he smirked to himself. No need to share all of my secrets, he thought to himself.

"Uh huh" Luke smiled at Reid.

Just then the food arrived for both men. As expected Reid had about three times the amount of food in front of him than Luke had. Truth be told Luke felt a bit sick as he watched Reid eat all of that food.

After breakfast the two walked leisurely back to the hotel. When they got back to their room Luke quickly changed the sheets on their bed. Reid had flipped on the TV and was catching up with the most recent sporting news.

When the bed was made Luke went over to sit with Reid on the couch. Luke was feeling a bit shy and gently reached out to hold Reid's hand. Reid was distracted and squeezed Luke's hand quickly and then dropped it and went back to watching the scores on the TV. Luke felt hurt and heaved a huge sigh and then went and got out his book. If Reid wanted to watch TV, Luke would find other ways of entertaining himself. Unfortunately, Reid was completely oblivious to Luke's hurt feelings and had no idea that Luke was feeling ignored.

When Reid was done with the TV he went over to check on Luke, who was now reading his book in bed.

"So Luke, what do you want to do now?" asked Luke hoping to get a friendly response.

"I'm happy just reading my book." Luke replied.

"Uh okay" Reid replied wondering what the hell he was supposed to do. Reid hadn't brought a book with him as mostly what he read were medical journals and he hadn't wanted to bring any of those with him.

Luke, of course didn't really want to read his book he was just punishing Reid for ignoring him earlier.

Reid tried to find something to occupy himself with as Luke read his book. He picked up an old magazine, looked at the hotel amenities, he flipped through the phone book, finally in desperation he picked up the bible. Really all he wanted to do was be with Luke, so he gave up on other distractions and undressed and got into bed beside Luke. Perhaps I can distract Luke from his book he smirked to himself.

Luke of course hadn't really been reading his book at all. He had watched as Reid had tried to find something to entertain himself with. He had been amused to see Reid actually flip through the phone book. Who, he wondered did Reid think he was going to call. Then Luke realized Reid was probably looking up possible restaurants for the boys to have dinner at.

What am I going to do now? Luke wondered to himself. I will never be able to concentrate on my book now with Reid lying naked beside me. I'm really not happy that he ignored me earlier. I am not going to have another relationship with someone who disregards my feelings: Luke fumed to himself. He can be as sexy as he wants I am just going to ignore him, Luke smirked to himself.

Reid was surreptitiously watching Luke and he could tell that the blond was upset about something but Reid had no idea about what. He replayed the morning's events and could not for the life of him figure out what he had done wrong. He wanted to talk to Luke but he didn't know where to begin. So Reid decided that he needed to get Luke's attention so that he could get the blond one to tell him what he had done wrong. So Reid moved closer to Luke, just a little bit and Luke didn't react so he moved a little closer to Luke and reached over and started to caress Luke's side. Luke gave Reid a dirty look but he didn't pull away so Reid just kept staring at Luke and touching him.

Oh my god, thought Luke, what am I going to do now? He's touching me and he's looking at me with those sad, questioning eyes. Oh no he's moving closer to me, and I don't want to pull away.

"What's wrong Luke?" Reid whispered in Luke's ear. "I know that you're mad at me, but I don't know why, please tell me."

"I don't like being ignored Reid" Luke replied coldly, but not as coldly as he would have liked. He was going to crack he already knew that.

Ignored? When had I ignored Luke, he wondered. He thought again about the morning's events and he realized that perhaps Luke had felt neglected when he was catching up on the sports scores.

"I'm sorry Luke," Reid began "Did you feel ignored when I was catching up on the sports scores?"

"Yes" Luke replied.

"I'm sorry Luke; I am a very focused person, that's what makes me such a good surgeon, unfortunately it often wreaks havoc with my personal life because I find it very difficult to focus on more than one thing at a time. I would never neglect you on purpose. Thanks for telling me." He said and lightly kissed Luke on his cheek.

Needless to say, Luke melted at Reid's apology. After that Luke put down his book and turned his full attention to Reid. Reid took his time with Luke showing the other man the full benefits of being with someone who was truly able to focus on Luke's needs and the two men had a blissful afternoon.
