The next morning, Chris woke up to Eva watching him sleep. She smiled at him and laid her head back on his chest.
"Good morning beautiful" he said huskily. Eva never admitted this to him in fear of inflating his ego, but she always found his morning voice pretty hot. She pressed a kiss to his chest and smiled at him.
"Hmmmm. Ready to finish what we started last night?" He asked her, flashing her his charming smirk. She smirked back and leant up to press her lips to his.
They got to work 10 minutes early and were just chatting in the break room when Eva noticed something stuck to her locker.
"Tickets to the Black Eyes Peas. Tonight. From my neumo from a couple of weeks ago. Wanted to thank me"
"Ahh I love the Black Eyed Peas" Serena gasped as she grabbed the two tickets from Eva
"Where'd you score those?" Chris asked, walking in the room with 2 cups of coffee for himself and Eva
"They're Eva's. She was just about to invite me along" The brunette turned at the sound of her name, raising her eyebrow at Serena.
"Why would she take you, when she can take me?" Chris smirked at Serena, turning to look at his girlfriend with his charming smile and puppy dog eyes.
Eva closed her locker with a metallic bang and turned to look at her two colleagues.
"Are you asking me to choose between my boyfriend and my best friend?" She asked with her eyebrow raised. Giving the two of them a fixed stare.
"I thought I was your best friend?" Chris asked, holding a hand to his heart as if he were wounded. Eva chuckled at her boyfriend and shook her head.
"That cut me deep Zambrano. That cut me real deep" he said with a glare. They were interrupted by the beep of their pagers. Eva went to grab the tickets from Serena's hand but the blonde held them back.
"I will pick up your dry cleaning for a month!" She bargained.
"No. I will clean your car and a neck massage" Chris interrupted his blonde colleague
"You mean I won't get that already?" Eva turned to Chris, pouting, showing him her puppy dog eyes.
"You can get whatever you want, as long as you put the puppy dog eyes away. You know I'm a sucker for them" he said with a groan. Eva chuckled and leant up to press a chaste kiss to her boyfriend's lips.
"Ewww! PDA!" Serena yelled, running out the room. Eva and Chris laughed and she turned to face him. Kissing him again. Chris broke apart and made go walk out the door, to go down to the ambulance bay.
"You know Dr. Zambrano, I thoroughly enjoyed this morning, we should do it again" he said with a wink as he shut the door.
That day was a stressful one for Alpha Team, nothing was in the right place again because Tuck was still in the ICU after being stabbed a couple of weeks ago which meant they had the pleasure of Kathy again. Chris was dealing with the 17 year old golfer with head trauma and the flesh eating bacteria and Eva was dealing with the friends and wife of Ryan, the guy who lost his foot to the alligator. Chris was trying to find Eva while he had a spare 10 minutes to see how she was doing and to make sure she was going to eat something. He wasn't prepared for what he saw. He saw Brad, one of Ryan's friends and Eva, flirting. Chris stood and watched their interaction for a few minutes before turning away, feeling sick to his stomach. He assumed that the day that Eva realised she was too good for him would come, but he didn't expect it to be this soon. He blinked back tears and headed back to his patient. Trying to get the picture of Eva with someone else out of his mind.
What Chris didn't see was Eva turning the blonde male down.
"What about our soup date?"
" I have lives to save. Plus...I have a boyfriend who I love very much" she said as she turned away from him. About 10 minutes later, Eva spotted the blonde hair of her boyfriend, waking towards us. She smiled at him and stopped to say hi but he blanked her and carried on walking not stopping until her reached the elevator. Eva's smile dropped and she frowned at her boyfriend's odd behaviour. Yes the agreed to be professional but it didn't mean that they couldn't still talk to one another.
Meanwhile, in the elevator. Chris had his eyes screwed shut and leant his head back on the wall, breathing in and out and trying to stop the tears from falling. He was so wrapped up in himself that he didn't realise that Serena was in the elevator with him.
"Uhhh. Chris are you alright?" She asked concerned, she had never seen him like this. He was always so collected. He jumped at her voice and cleared his throat.
"Uhm yeah I'm fine" he lied. Serena edged a little closer, wanting to comfort her friend.
"What's wrong?" She asked. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes to look at the other blonde.
"I...uhhh...I was looking for Eva earlier and I saw her flirting with one of Ryan's friends. I knew that the day where she realised she was too good for me and break up with me was coming but I just didn't expect it to be this soon" he let out, his voice no louder than a whisper.
Serena was in shock. She never expected Eva to be the one to flirt with others when she was in a relationship. Serena knew her brunette friend was madly in love with her boyfriend so what Chris just said sent a wave of confusion throughout her body. She was about to say something when the elevator stopped. Chris saw Eva talking to Proctor and prayed that she didn't see that he had been crying.
Eva noticed his red-rimmed eyes and gasped. She tried to catch his arm to ask him what was wrong but he just shrugged her off. She turned back around and noticed Serena trying to creep out of the elevator that Chris had just exited.
"Wait right there missy" she had yelled to the blonde female who stopped and cursed herself for getting caught. Eva caught up to Serena and stood in front of her, hands on hips and glaring at her.
"What's the matter with Chris?" She demanded. Serena looked at the floor.
"That's not my place to say. You should talk to him" she muttered quietly, still not believing that Eva would throw her relationship away like that.
"It's kinda hard to do that when he won't speak to me" she yelled, tears threatening to spill as she turned on her heel and headed back to her patients.
