It had been almost 5 months since she had spoken her mind to Romano. His
attitude had improved and she still had her job. Maybe she had done some
good. But anyway she wasn't going to think about that tonight it was the
Christmas party and she was going to have FUN!!!
The night of the party she'd seen Romano about to leave "Where are you going Dr. Romano the parties about to start,"
"I'm going home."
"But."
"Dr. Woods I do not.."
"Look I heard you had your arm fitting today. I know youmay not be in the best of moods but I think the party will cheer you up. Please come."
"I wouldn't be welcome."
"Of course you would, stop making excuses."
"O.k, I need to change but I'll see you there."
"O.k" She smiled, and went off with Chen and Lewis to get readly, giggling and having fun.
'Why the hell am I going to this party.' He thought 'I am not gaining anything form it, it'll probably be really boring. Those so-called doctors will just get drunk.' But somehow he wanted to go. He went in the lounge to change.
Laura sat at a table with Susan Lewis. Her and Susan got on well. They usually went out together wit Abby and Chen, and she had now been accepted as one of the girls "It's your turn to get the drinks in Susan." Laura said loudly, trying to be heard over the music
"O.k but let's dance first I love this song!"
They both got up and began dancing, Susan wasn't bad but when she looked across the floor she saw Carter was terrible!
"I think Carter needs lessons," Joked Laura
Susan smiled and they continued dancing, she looked around the room, she saw some really bad dancing! As she looked to the corner of the room she saw Romano alone at a table, it looked as though he was about to leave. Should she go over? I mean it was Christmas after all.
"I'll be back in a minute," she yelled to Susan
She went over to Romano's table and sat down
"Want a drink?" She asked
"No thanks," he said, indicating a nearly full glass in her hands
She went to the bar and ordered herself a beer
"So how was your day?" She asked
"You don't have to make conversation." He said bluntly
"Oh cheer up it's Christmas, wanna dance?" She asked
"Oh no I don't dance." He replied
"Oh well there's a kareoke later." She laughed
"I especially don't do karaoke" he smiled
"I think we got off on the wrong foot when I started. You were totally justified to yell at me for being late, and I was out of line when I shouted at you in your office."
"Don't worry, it's forgotten about. Anyway you had to yell at me how else would you have got your party. Well I guess you could have always got your dad to pay." He said
She giggled and he looked at her puzzled.
"He's not my father, we just happen to have the same surname. I just used that to get you to let us have the party. You're not mad are you?"
"I will be tomorrow I have a reputation to keep up." He said
He was shocked at her trickery but also impressed that she could make up stories to get people to agree with her - Kinda reminded him of himself He liked this; they had sort of made up which pleased him. No why did it please him, because he guessed there was something different about her.
"So it was quite tough at work today, I thought we were going to lose that kid."
"But we didn't. That was some good work you did today." He smiled
'Oh my god' thought Laura 'Did he actually pay me a compliment?!'
'Is someone actually having a civilised conversation with me?' He thought
"Are you coming for kareoke?" Susan and Abby said as they rushed to the table.
"Yeah, why not." Laura smiled "Coming?" She asked Romano
"No I think I'll just watch."
And he would watch. He sat there and watched her making a fool of herself but she was having a good time. 'She's crazy' he thought but couldn't help laughing at her carefree attitude to life.
He watched her and Abby dance together, she had a fantastic body and the way she danced was turning him on. She came running over.
"Come on you have to dance," she smiled
He wanted to say no but she pulled him to his feet. He didn't want to do this, if he was seen dancing with her the department would think he'd gone soft also he couldn't dance to this music. He felt slightly relieved when the music changed to a slow number but felt uncomfortable again when he realised this type of music would mean them being closer.
He put his arm around her waist and she gently put her head on his shoulder
'My god what are you doing' she thought 'It's only a dance...but you have your head on the shoulder of the most arrogant man in the hospital. O.K make conversation'
"So what are you doing for Christmas she asked?"
"Nothing, probably work,"
"But I thought Pratt was on Christmas day,"
"I'll probably swap shifts with him."
'What do I do, he's obviously going to swap shifts 'cos he's got nothing to do over Christmas. Maybe I should invite him to spend Christmas with me. NO then he'll get the wrong idea, but. oh, what do I do?'
"Do you want to come to my house over Christmas? Susan will be there and there's room for one more.. If you want."
"No I better not." He said
'What are you thinking you fool this gorgeous woman's asked you to spend Christmas with her and you've said no to save your pride. But if I say yes I'll look desperate. But Susan will be there too so it look more of a friendly engagement.'
"Are you sure, we'd really like you to come."
"O.k, give me your address and I'll see what I can do."
'That's it keep it casual then she'll think I'm not that bothered'
'O.k so now he's coming. Is that good or bad? I hope Susan won't mind.'
**************** O.k hopefully this chapter was better! So what's going to happen at xmas house????? Also I'm thinking perhaps this is a bit cheesy for romano but hey I reckon he can be nice! Please r&r
