A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews. I appreciate them positive and negative very much. So anyway let me know what you think of the next chapter.
Abby's ride on the El the next morning seemed to go through quicker than usual, maybe it was because she knew she'd have to speak to Ray about what happened last night. What was she going to say to him? Did she have any feelings for him? She had even forgot about how much older she was compared to him. She had millions of other questions racing through her mind, which she knew she had to find answers for
She made her way to the lounge, and when she stepped through the door, there he was standing at his locker putting on lab coat was Ray. The only thought in her head was of last night and god he looked even sexier this morning.
"Morning" Ray said with his usual cheeky grin
"So how are you this fine morning Abby?"
"Good, really good Ray, and you?"
"Absolutely great, especially after last night"
"Yeah about that, I think we really need to talk about it"
Just then Susan stuck her head into the room and told them there was a trauma coming in, and that they were both needed.
"We can talk about it after our shifts if you like?"
"Yeah"
Susan looked at Abby oddly. "Talk about what" she quizzed. "Oh just about his gig" Abby said hurrying out of the room
After a hectic day, Ray and Abby's shifts were over, they had got a load of traumas and the two of them had decided to go get some food and have their little chat. They went to get their coats and left together
Sam and Susan were standing at admit doing paperwork and looked up to see the two of them leave together. "Bye guys" Abby and Ray both shouted over. Sam and Susan both looked at them, then at each other, and Susan said "You don't think the two of them are you know?" "No, them, they hate each other"
In the restaurant
"So what you going to have" Ray asked
"I was going to have the chicken"
"Really, that's what I was going to have"
The waiter came and took there order, then it was time for the chat Abby had been working herself up for all day.
"So" Ray said "what happened last night"
"That's, what I was going to ask you"
"Well you can't ask me, because I asked you first, and you already know I like you, and to put it politely you kissed as good as you got"
"I don't know what happened last night Ray, I surprised myself when I kissed you, and I don't know maybe it was a moment of madness. I guess I feel something that wasn't there before, but I don't know if anything can happen Ray"
"Why can't anything happen"
"Come on Ray, I'm so much older than you, you're probably used to having a different girl in your bed every night"
"I knew you'd pull the age thing with me, come on your not that much older than me. I think, no I know we feel the same way about each other, and I think we need to give this a shot".
"I don't know Ray, what will people say?"
"Screw what people will think, that's all you're worried about, whether we'll be the hospitals latest gossip topic"
"I want to give this a shot Ray, but can we please just keep it between us for now"
"Sure, but you know County, it won't be secret for long"
The pair walked home, Ray holding Abby's hand the whole way, he liked this and so did she. They arrived back at her apartment and she asked him up for coffee
"Oh and by the way Ray, coffee's not code for sex"
"Never suspected it was, I don't want this to be a one night stand or anything like that Abby"
While they were sitting on the couch talking and drinking coffee, Ray leaned in and kissed Abby, the kiss was totally different from the other night, it was better than the other night. Abby really didn't want to let him go and he did not want to let her go either.
