Chapter 25:
The following day Cara is still off in a mood with Raf over last night's misunderstanding, "Still not talking to me?" Raf says with his tooth brush in his mouth as Cara walks into the bathroom with her dressing gown on.
She looks at him and shrugs her shoulders "That depends if you're going to call me fat again" Cara mutters as she opens the cupboard and looks through the cupboard for her dry shampoo, once she has found it she begins to spray it through her hair causing Raf to choke on it.
They eat their breakfast in silence and both head to work in Raf's car once again in silence, it's snowing heavily so Raf and Cara have decided to drive in as they don't fancy freezing to death while walking to work.
They pull up outside the hospital and Cara huffs and pulls her gloves on, she gets out of the car and starts to slither as she doesn't have much grip on her leather ankle boots, she finally makes it to the icy footpath and begins to walk almost march "Stupid gritters not coming out yet, stupid Raf calling me fat, stupid December weather" Cara mutters under her breath.
Raf follows behind and he sees what's coming next and starts to laugh, Cara turns around and glares at him but at the same time she slips and takes Raf down too like a bowling pin she lands on her bum and so does Raf, Just as they land on the floor Zosia walks past and looks down at them "Why an earth are you two on the floor?" Zosia questions and Cara tries to get herself off the floor and she also doesn't reply to Zosia but just looks at her.
Once Cara has finally got herself up off the floor she heads to AAU and gets changed but still not talking to Raf, Fletch has noticed that Cara and Raf are acting odd around each other it's not until they start saying childish things he realises something is up with them.
"Fletch would you tell Nurse Martinez to hand me Mr Stephan's notes please" Raf says to Fletch who is standing in the middle of Cara and Raf.
"Cara can-" Fletch is cut off by Cara
"Fletch would you kindly tell Mr Di Lucca I'm not his maid and he can get it himself" Cara replies as she carries on looking at the computer screen.
Finally Fletch has had enough "Seriously you could cut the atmosphere with a knife" Fletch Says and both Cara and Raf shrug their shoulders "What is up with you two love birds today?" Fletch questions.
Cara and Raf reply in unison "Ask him... her!" Fletch gives them both a confused look and doesn't know what to say.
"Don't ask me ask him" Cara mutters as she folds her arms and looks up at Fletch as she is still sitting in her chair, "He was the one who started it!" Cara adds.
Fletch continues to look at Cara in confusion "He has a name you know" Raf replies as he glares at Cara.
"Children, Children please calm down" Fletch says but Cara once again butts in.
"Oh I'm sorry MR DI LUCCA!" Cara replies sarcastically and glares at Raf before walking off leaving Fletch to figure out what's going on between them, he had never seen Cara be so sarcastic in the whole time she has been at the hospital, he turns to see that Raf has also gone and is now treating a patient on the opposite side of the ward to Cara.
For the whole shift Cara and Raf keep making smart comments at each other which totally confuses Morven and Fletch who are trying to find out what's happening between them, "Cara I'm sorry about last night I didn't mean to-" Raf says but Cara glares at him and butts in.
"You're talking but all I hear is meh meh meh meh!" Cara replies and walks away but Raf tries to keep up with her.
Raf grabs hold of Cara's hand and pulls her to face him "Cara please talk to me" Raf pleads, Cara gives a heavy sigh and looks at him.
"What you said to me last night Raf-" Cara begins.
"Yes I didn't mean it, I'm sorry Cara" Raf apologises and a small smile appears on Cara's face, he kisses her on the head but Cara doesn't kiss him back "Cara what is it please, we said no secrets" Raf says as he tries to get Cara to speak.
She sighs and pulls away leaving Raf standing there still wondering what is up with Cara, he looks over at Fletch and shrugs his shoulders.
"Seriously Fletch I don't know what is up with that woman at the moment" Raf says as he heads outside with his cup of coffee, Fletch follows him outside they head out to the benches with aren't covered in snow.
Fletch laughs and sits next to Raf "Maybe she doesn't love you anymore or is having a secret affair with that bloke from radiology" Fletch laughs but stops laughing as soon as he realises Raf isn't finding this funny.
"You don't suggest she's?" Raf questions and Fletch nods, "You really think Cara would sleep with another man, do you?" Raf questions as he starts to wonder if Cara is that type of person.
"Raf?" Fletch says as he tries to get his attention Raf turns and looks at Fletch and at the same time is hit in the face by a snow ball which Fletch has thrown at him to take his mind off Cara.
Raf laughs and grabs some snow and chucks it at Fletch, they begin a snowball fight Raf creates some more snow balls and as he goes to chuck the snowball Fletch ducks out the way and it hits Cara in the back, she turns around completely furious she has hot chocolate spilt all down the front of her and she doesn't look at all impressed with them both, "You're in the dog house mate" Fletch laughs as he leaves Raf to sort things out with Cara.
"Here Cara let me help" Raf says as he makes his way over to Cara and tries to help her dry herself off.
"Don't touch me, leave me alone" Cara snaps as she jolts Raf's hand away from her.
Later on Cara has finished her shift and has now gone home as Raf has got held up in theatre, still not in the best of moods she decides to get a takeaway but she needs to get out of her old habits which is chips and wine so she ends up drinking orange juice with her chips.
she sits with the plate on her lap and an episode of friends on the TV "Evening" Raf says as he comes into the lounge and looks at Cara "Where's mine?" He questions as he looks at Cara who hasn't made eye contact with him once since he has came in.
"I don't know you didn't say you wanted anything" Cara says in a harsh tone.
"But you never asked me" he says in a confused tone, "Cara how long are you going to keep this up for?" Raf questions and Cara doesn't say anything to him but gets her drink off the coffee table and takes a sip.
She huffs and takes her plate through to the kitchen and comes back through and looks at him before huffing again and heads upstairs, Raf looks at her and shakes his head, it amuses him how annoyed Cara is and makes him wonder how long she can keep up the silent treatment.
Raf sits on the sofa with some toast and looks down at Cara's phone as it lights up and a name flashes up on her phone 'Kate' Raf ignores it and then looks up to see Cara standing there with the spare duvet.
"Cara why an earth have you got that?" Raf questions as he watches Cara place the duvet on the sofa.
"Can't you work it out? I'll be sleeping on the sofa tonight!" Cara snaps at him and Raf tuts and rolls his eyes and gets up and walks across the lounge to her.
He leans in to kiss her on the cheek but Cara steps backwards "Well I love you Cara, Never forget that" Raf says as he makes his way upstairs.
Raf lies in bed and looks up at the ceiling he misses Cara lying next to him at night and discussing their days work at the hospital, he decides to go downstairs and finds Cara sound asleep again so he lifts her up and looks at her it is obvious she has cried herself to sleep because around her eyes are red and her cheeks are slightly wet still.
"Oh Cara" he mutters as he places her down in the bed and pulls the covers over her, he kisses her head and she stirs slightly but goes back to sleep and rolls over, Raf gets into bed next to her and he places his arm around her waist and pulls her close.
