If You Could See

Chapter One:  I Have Dreamed

Jing Mei stood looking down at John who knelt on bended knee.  She couldn't breathe

"Deb will you marry me?"

*******************************************

All of my life I have dreamed,

That somehow love would find me.

Now I can't believe you're standing here

~ flashback~

"John, you're impossible!" Jing Mei laughed, pulling away from the prodding hands.  "Do you really want the last fry that badly?"

Jing Mei couldn't believe that they had been dating for three months now.  The first date happened so fast.  Sometimes Jing Mei wondered if John didn't just ask her because of the turmoil that was his life.

Because he wanted stability.  Something she could always offer.

"Give me the fry, " John said expectantly.

She shook her head.

Suddenly he switched tactics.  "You'd give me the fry if you really loved me," he countered, looking up at her with puppy dog eyes.

Jing Mei scrunched her nose at the comment.  "You mean, if you loved me, you wouldn't be crawling over me to get a measly MacDonald's French fry?" she pointed out.

John suddenly reappraised the situation.  "You're right," he agreed, pulling himself off the practically horizontal Jing Mei and smoothed out the wrinkles of his button-up shirt.  "I love you and I won't destroy our relationship over a thinly cut piece of processed potato."

Jing Mei had a hard time not bursting out laughing.  "That's very gracious of you John Truman Carter," she admitted as straight-faced as she could.  "But," Jing Mei relented.  "I love you enough to give you this  processed potato."  Jing Mei dangled it in front of the mesmerized John.

Jing Mei coyly climbed up on John's lap, straddling his waist and slowly eased the French fry into his waiting mouth.  He smiled crookedly lying back with his hands behind his head, beaming like a boy who'd caught the biggest fish he'd ever seen. 

Jing Mei licked the salt slowly from her fingers.  "Now just what are you grinning at?" she asked, pretending to be mad.

"I've got the most intelligent and beautiful woman at County General eating out of my hand!" he boasted.

John's hands slid around her waist and pulled her down closer to him.  Jing Mei rested her arms above his head and placed small kisses around his salty lips.  "I think it's you, that I've got eating out of my hand," she corrected.

Jing Mei extended her legs behind her, finding balance by putting her hands on either side of John until she lay parallel to John.  "Mmmm….Deb, you may be right!" he smiled slyly and placed a warm and deep kiss on her mouth.

"How did I get so lucky to have you in my life?" Jing Mei asked breathily, between kisses.

"Not luck, Deb," he corrected this time.  "Just destiny."

She stared into his twinkling brown eyes and Jing Mei knew it was love.
