O.k 5th chapters up. I'm nervous about this chapter but oh well
It had been 2 days since the Christmas party. Two days since she had got drunk and sang 'I will survive' at the top of her lungs. Two days since she decided to spend Christmas with Robert Romano.
When she got home she wondered why she had done it, but she realised it was out of guilt as he was lonely. Also if she didn't have anywhere to go she'd end up spending Christmas with her mother-not fun!!!!
Susan arrived first. She was on call and so was staying sober but she'd brought some drink.
"You look great." Susan smiled hugging her
"Really, I just threw something on." Laura replied This was a lie as she'd spent three hours deciding what to wear. Most of her clothes looked too slutty or to conservative - a big contrast. In the end she'd settled for a beige mini skirt with dark brown knee-high boots and a white shirt.
Robert arrived a little while after, he didn't look too bad. He wore dark coloured jeans and a light grey sweater..
"You look lovely." He said
A second compliment, well she had aimed to look good.
She moved aside to let him in. The house was large and warm compared to the freezing snow outside. There was a fire burning and he could smell something cooking.
"Smells good." he said
Susan appeared from the lounge
"Merry Christmas Susan." Romano gave her a smile.
Susan greeted him and they sat down for dinner. It passed reasonably well, they made idle chatter about past Christmas stories and embarrassing anecdotes.
"Thank you that was lovely" Said Romano, once the dinner was finished
"You're welcome. I'll wash up. You and Susan can go and watch some t.v."
Romano and went into the lounge. Susan made her excuses to him and went into the kitchen
"You never told me Romano was coming."
"Sorry, I just felt sorry for him because he was spending the holidays alone."
"Oh Yeah" Susan said coyly
"What?"
"Well, I think there's more to it than this. I mean this is the man that you once said you'd like to use their head as a bowling ball. Then suddenly you're inviting him over for Christmas."
"I told you I felt sorry for him."
"Whatever. Also he is the most arrogant, sarcastic man who's never showed an ounce of compassion for any of his staff yet he now suddenly comes to their houses. Plus I saw him looking at your breasts during dinner."
Laura looked down at her shirt
"Don't pretend those buttons accidentally came undone, I reckon you did it deliberately."
"What?" Laura asked innocently
Susan laughed "GOT ME LOOKING SO CRAZY RGHT NOW, YOU'RE LOVE GOT ME LOOKING SO CRAZY RIGHT NOW," Susan sang
"Stop it," Laura laughed hitting her with a cloth.
"UH OH UH OH UH OH" they sang, shaking their bums and laughing
"Do I hear singing?" Romano asked as he walked into the room
"Ummm.. Robert.. I mean Dr. Romano. we were just." Laura stammered
But the beeping of Susan's pager saved her.
"I think I'm gonna have to go." Susan said "sorry"
"Nice seeing you Robert," she smiled
Laura went to show her out
"Don't worry how you feel."
"I don't know how I feel,"
"You'll know soon enough," Susan smiled
Susan left and Laura went back into the kitchen. Romano was pouring the wine Susan had brought. He put the liquid into two glasses and gave her one. He moved to get his wine but he knocked it over
"God I'm so clumsy," he joked
As he went to pick up the glass, he dropped it, it shattered
"I'm so useless," He said tears prickling in his eyes.
Laura moved over and comforted him, she felt so bad for him
"You're not useless you mustn't think that."
She cleared up the glass and went and sat back next to him
He looked down at the floor, he felt so embarrassed
"It really bothers you - your arm I mean. It makes you feel like some kind of invalid?"
He nodded
"You should never think that, you're still the same guy."
"No I'm not. Just a few months ago I was head of surgery and chief of staff. Now look at me chief of emergengy medicine! I have nothing,"
"Yes you do. In surgery you just stitch them up, there's more patient care in the E.R.; you have the opportunity to change lives, your careers not over, and besides you've got friends," She smiled
"I have no friends, everyone in the E.R hates me." He moped
"I'm your friend, I don't hate you," She offered
"You did,"
"Yeah, I did. I thought you were an arrogant chauvinist pig. However I was willing to give you a chance and, well what I've seen today proves me wrong."
He smiled. He couldn't believe someone was actually bothered about him. "Now come on cheer up. Look lets go and have a snow fight! Childish but fun!!!!"
He smiled and got up, opened the back door and went outside. He grabbed a ball of snow. He threw it her.
"Uh! That wasn't fair!! I wasn't ready!!" She shrieked after the ball had hit her on the leg
She grabbed two snowballs and threw them at him, they missed
"Bad shot, and you have both arms!!!" He laughed
"That's it!!" She yelled
She ran up to him and wrestled him to the ground, then put a snowball up his jacket.
"Cold!" He yelled
He smiled, she looked at him. He stared at her, he was actually having fun.
He moved his lips towards her, then gently brushed them against hers, she responded, kissing him gently..................
Ooooooh cliff-hanger!!!!
What do you think then?? Go on R&R
