A/N: Thnak you for all the reviews! I'm glad you're all still enjoying the story. I want to react to the review from Carter+AbbyCarby: I'm a huge Carby-fan myself (check my name) but I'm also a huge Abby-fan. I was really mad at Carter for breaking up with her and I just want Abby to be happy now. I think that for now Jake makes her happy, so that's why I'm writing this. At first I didn't want to write a Jabby story but I wanted to read one. But since no one had written one, I had to do it myself. So I think that for now I'm keeping this story Jabby, but I'm still a Carby-fan and I always will be! So, now that's all cleared up, enjoy this chapter. It's not very long, but I'm working on the next chapter already, so… Let me know what you think a.k.a. Leave me a review!
Listen to your heart
Chapter four: To tell or not to tell
I walk back into the ER looking for Jake. I feel a little bad for leaving Carter behind like that, but I really want to find Jake after that message.
'Frank, have you seen Jake anywhere?'
'Check the board' he grumbles back.
I sigh looking for his name on the board when I hear Susan's voice behind me.
'Why are you looking for Jake?' she asks.
'Ehm.. he paged me so I have to find out why' I say, not looking Susan in the eye.
'You two seem to be working on a lot of the same patients these days. Even though he's on his surgical rotation..'
'Yeah, I can't help it' I say, immediately defending myself. That came out a little harsh, judging by the look on Susan's face.
'Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that'
'No it's okay. I didn't mean to offend you or something. I'm sure if there was something going on with you two you'd tell me. So, I'm sorry'
Okay, now I feel guilty. Maybe I should've told her about the potential of me and Jake. She's my best friends after all.
'No, it's okay, really. But actually, there's something I want to talk to you about, but not right now. What are you doing for dinner tomorrow night?'
'Nothing'
'Girls night in at my place? I'll order pizza, you bring the movies?'
'Sounds great'
'Good, I-' but then my pager beeps again.
'I have to go now, Jake again. He must be in real trouble or something..' I say, knowing that's not true.
'I saw him heading towards exam two earlier. Check there' Susan says.
'Thank Suz. I'll talk to you later' I say over my shoulder as I head towards exam two.
I open the door and see only one closed curtain. Convinced I have the wrong room I turn around when I hear my name.
'Abby?'
'Jake?' I asked surprised. 'Where are you?'
He opens the curtain a little bit and signals me to come closer. I step into the curtain and he closes it again.
'Jake, what is this?' I ask as I sit down on the bed.
'Nothing. I just wanted to see you' he says, as he sits next to me.
'Well, here I am... What do we do now?' I ask, although I have a pretty good feeling what he wants to do. Only I'm not sure that it's really a good idea.
'How about this?' he asks me, as he leans in and kisses my neck softly. I laugh at this. This is so not me. Well, who am I kidding? This is me; it's just not the best side of me. I know that if we get caught we are in some serious trouble. Not only for making out while we're supposed to be working, but mainly because I'm a doctor and Jake is a student.
'Jake, I really don't think this is such a good idea' I say, but subconsciously I close my eyes and lean my head back, giving him better access.
'Really, you think that?' he says smiling, mocking my actions.
'Yeah, I really-' but then he kisses me on the lips, not letting me finish that sentence. I can't help but reciprocate. All rational thought is gone as soon as his lips touch mine. My arms sneak around his neck and his hands are on my waist, softly pushing me down on the bed so that he now is on top of me, his lips never leaving mine. This feels really good. If we weren't at work right now I'm sure we could take this further, but as I feel him deepen the kiss, I remember where we are and that we really can't do this here. It's not that I don't want to, because, believe me, I want to, but the chance of getting caught is just too big. I untangle my arms from around his neck, placing me hands on his chest before softly pushing him away.
'Jake'
'Hmm' he says, as he leans down again, capturing my lips with his.
'Jake' I say, pushing him away a little harder this time, waiting for him to open his eyes to make eye-contact.
'We can't do this' I say
He looks me in the eyes and then nods.
'You're right' he says, and he climbs of me. 'I'm sorry'
'No it's okay, I know how you feel' I say winking at him.
'Good, so we're still on for tonight?' he asks me, while I redo my hair, trying to make myself presentable again.
'Owh yeah' I say smiling. 'Definitely'
'See you then' he says, giving me a quick kiss before he turns around and leaves the exam room.
I wait for a minute or so before I open the curtain and step out of the room myself, almost bumping into Susan.
'So, what did he need you for?' she asks me, while raising her eyebrows as in telling me that she already knows.
I'm sure my head is as red as a tomato right now. I really don't know how to explain this to her. I can't think of an excuse. It's obvious that there's no patient in there, so she knows we were in there alone. I open my mouth to speak but Susan beats me to it.
'Abby, I don't know what's going on with you or with you and him for that matter, but I really think you should be careful with what you're doing, especially in the hospital. And I really think that if you guys are going out you should've told me about it…' and then she turns around and leaves me standing here, feeling incredibly guilty. I really don't want her to be mad at me or feel as if I don't trust her with anything.
'Susan wait!' I shout after her as I run to catch up with her. Susan eventually stops, looking at me.
'Abby, you know I just want you to be happy right?'
'Yeah, I do' I answer staring at my feet.
'So, we'll talk tomorrow night?'
I look up at her, surprised to find her smiling. I thought she'd be mad, but apparently she only finds it amusing.
'Yeah, tomorrow night it is' I say with a relieved smile, as I turn around to find some patients to treat. I really need to get back to work.
'Owh, and Abby, I want details' I hear Susan shout after me. I smile at that, not looking back, just lifting my arm and waving at her. 'Yeah right… freak!' I chuckle to myself as I pick up a chart and finally get back to work.
