Fortune Cookies
'Hi', he kissed her on the cheek, 'whats wrong with your thumb?' 'Oh nothing', she didn't want to bring up knives due to past experiences. 'These are for you', he handed a bunch of dried flowers. 'Merci' 'Oi, Madame' She took his hand and led him to the sofa. They started to make out. 'Oh, flamin' heck', she cried out suddenly 'Did I do something wrong?' 'No, of course not you're good, very good, but we need food!' 'Shall we go for a walk, we can pick up a Chinese on the way home' 'That sounds like fun, let me get my coat' They were out of her door within minutes. They picked up the Chinese from a small take-out place. Carter had let her pay provided he could pay for dinner next week. Abby had figured that a Chinese would be cheaper than dinner - she also knew that if Carter took her out she'd be spoiled, it would be more of a treat. Instead of going straight home they decided to carry on walking. Arm in arm they strolled around the nicer parts of Chicago, every now and then Carter would plant a kiss on her head, Abby would reply by kissing him lightly on the nose. They carried this on until they reached their favourite bench. 'Here's as good as anywhere', he sat down. They ate their Chinese, surrounded by the night lights of Chicago. They shared their food - although trying to feed each other with chopsticks was harder than they imagined. Abby rested her head against Johns chest, she felt safe there. 'It's beautiful out here isn't it?' He felt her nod her head. He bent down to and whispered in her ear. 'I know something more beautiful though' Abby felt her cheeks burning, she slowly raised her face, she could see his puppy dog eyes, those eyes made her melt. 'Hey, you know what we've forgotten?' 'What', she asked moving from his chest to sit up straight. 'The fortune cookies' he said as he offered her one. He split his in two and took out the little strip of paper
'Tell them what you feel, you'll be pleasantly surprised'
This thought went round and round his head. Meanwhile Abby had opened her cookie, her fortune read:
'This ones different, when they say it they mean it'
Abby stared at Carter as he turned to face her. She opened her mouth to speak but just like the night before Johns fingers stopped her. 'There's something I've got to tell you', he paused to see her reaction she just looked at him. 'I've known this for a long time but there's never been the right time to say anything; first you were with Luka, then the timing was just wrong, but now there's just us and I want you to know that you are the most important thing in the world to me and I love you more than words can say' 'Wow', Abby thought, then her head suddenly clicked to what the heart had been saying for a long time. 'I love you too John'. She heard him sigh loudly. They then shared a loving stare. She read his mind and whispered 'I think its time to leave'. They walked home in silence, as soon as they had closed Abby's door they had headed straight to her bedroom.
A Couple of Hours Later Abby was asleep in his arms, Carter couldn't sleep, the atmosphere was so peaceful - her back agaist his chest he felt totally at ease. He liked it here - he could think - her soft breathing was very calming and was a good influence on him - his mind, for the first time was full of positive thoughts. He drifted off into a quiet slumber, his arms still protectively around her. Abby may have been asleep but her mind was still going over what had happened that night. Her and Carter have made love - if that was what is could be called, tonite had put a whole new meaning to the phrase 'making love', she liked the new meaning - it was no longer just sex it was a commitment, silent but deadly, passionate yet full of love and emotions. They both slept well
The Next Morning Carter woke up in an empty bed, he knew Abby was at work so he turned over to go back to sleep. When he finally did wake up he plodded to the bathroom and went to wash his face, he chuckled when he saw the post-it note on the mirror it said, morning sleepy head. Once he was clean and dressed he went to get breakfast - on the fridge he saw another post-it note, this one read - don't eat my food, go get your own!!! He opened the fridge anyway, it was completely empty - all that was left in it was an onion and another post-it note dangling off one of the shelves - I told you not to eat my food, I don't have any you'd better go to Doc's!!! Carter laugher, she was mad, he grabbed his coat, put the latch on the door and ran down to his Jeep that was still parked outside from the night before.
At Doc's he met Susan who was on her break. 'The missus thrown you out', she joked 'Um, what, how did you..' 'I didn't but feel free to tell me', she butted in, she liked gossip. 'Yeah, um, I've got to go - my shift starts now, sorry' 'As if you are', she murmured under her breath, she felt cheated but she knew if she told the nurses they'd soon have figured out who it was, apparently they 'had their ways', they could worm information out of the most trustworthy people. Carter meanwhile had signed in and was at his locker when Kerry barged in saying, 'Glad your on we've got two gunshot victims coming in ETA 7 mins'. 'I'll be right there', he replied.
30 mins later His patient had died, he ripped his gown off he knew it wasn't his fault, the man had lost so much blood - he was pumping fluids out faster than they could pump them in. He needed a coffee so he went to the lounge. He was greeted by Abby, he smiled weakly at her, then went to his locker, he'd given up using the ER's coffee, it was foul so he'd brought his own. Abby could see that he wasn't happy. 'Are you sure your Ok?' 'You know just another day at the office, but I don't want to talk about it, I've got better things to do'. With this he grabbed her around the waist and pinned her against her locker and started kissing her.
I had some good reviews so I've decided to continue with this story. Please R&R so I can improve. Lv yz - Hna
