Chapter 10: The Next Morning
Abby woke to the sun on her back..... and an arm wrapped around her back, holding her front to a man's chest. At first Abby was shocked, but then she relaxed, remembering what had happened the night before. She had been in so scared, Carter had comforted her, and now she was in bed with him. Well they hadn't done anything, that she was sure of. She wasn't quite ready to get up yet though, she was still a little tired, so she shut her eyes again, snuggling a little closer to Carter's chest.
She liked the feeling of having that body there, holding her to him. The warms her produced, the feeling of his breath on the top of her head and neck. It was soft, steady, so she could tell he was still asleep. It was relaxing though, feeling his chest rise and fall in front of her.
"Abby," She could hear someone outside of her door.
"Abby are you up? We need your help, we can't find Dr. John." Abby realized no one knew that he was in there with her, that was probably good too. People might assume things if they did know. Quickly she tired to wake up Carter, but it was too late. Her door flew open.
"Are you up...... oh." Was all the Marie, a nurse at the clinic, had managed to say. She quickly shut the door, while Abby sat up, and Carter was staring at the door.
"I found Dr. John." Abby heard Marie shout as she walked back towards the clinic.
Abby realized how, even though they had been dressed, they had been in a compromising position, and probably most wouldn't believe that nothing had happened. Especially since now one knew their history.
Abby sat on the bed, holding her knees. Glancing back at Carter, she saw he was watching her, both were asking each other what to do next.
"I, um, need to change." Abby said quickly. She was still wearing the same clothes she had been the day before, because she hadn't had a chance to change the night before.
"Yeah, okay." Carter said quickly, getting up and moving out of the room. After the door shut behind him, Abby let out a sigh.
She quickly threw on a pair of shorts and a new t-shirt. Hoping that it wouldn't been too hot.
Heading towards the clinic, she passed Carter's room. The door opened and Carter stepped out. Walking right behind her they headed out towards the clinic.
The other doctors and nurses smiled as they approached.
This isn't so different from County, Abby thought. Gossip travels fast.
