Ch 4. The First Of Many

.:Later that day:.

"Has Lucy been down yet?" Asked Carter as he began to pace by the elevator.

"I haven't seen her," Susan Lewis responded with a smile, "You like her!"

"It's her first day as an intern, she'll be happy to go out and have fun," Carter defended.

"Right, well I'd be an intern any day with treatment like that," She said winking then and walking away.

About a half of an hour passed before he saw that beautiful blonde make her way off the elevator, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Patients wouldn't take their meds, one even tried to bite me!"

Carter laughed, "You're the one that signed up for psyche not me," He took her coat out of her arms and over her shoulders.

Excited and almost bouncing, she asked, "So where are we going!"

"Uh…" he held the door opened for her and they walked out into the chilly air, "Dinner and a movie?"

"Sounds great!"

And with that they went on the first date…of many dates.

.:Later That Same Night:.

Sounds of hysterical laughter filled the jeep, "Oh my god! That was the worst movie I ever saw," she said still trying to catch her breath from laughing.

Carter laughed with her, "And of all the movies that were left-"

Lucy continued his sentence, "We get stuck with the old naked lady one…Calendar Girls."

Carter shook his head, "You know you liked it."

"Yeah John, you're right the reason I went into psyche was to be flashed by old naked ladies, man you DO know me so well," She responded sarcastically.

Carter laughed and looked over at her, her laughter was beautiful to match every other single feature of her. "But the food wasn't so bad now was it?"

"No, no, you sure do know how to pick a good pizza joint. Oh turn here," she instructed Carter.

He turned and saw a huge, crummy apartment building, "Oh please don't tell me I'm dropping you off here…"

"Ha! I need my pepper spray just when I walk down this road, make a left first building on the right."

He did as told, walked around to Lucy's door and opened it for her.

"Thanks," She responded politely and stepped to her doorstep with Carter not so far behind her.

Carter looked into her eyes and smiled, "Well aside from the old naked lady boobs, I had a great time."

Lucy smiled, "Are you kidding? That was the highlight of my night."

"So," he fiddled with his hands and looked at her, "What are you doing this Friday?"

"Working," she said getting out her keys and opening her door.

"Saturday?"

Lucy smiled, "Still working"

"Sunday, come on you have to meet me half way here Luce."

"Pulling a double. Listen, I don't think I can make it through my internship and going out every night."

"Not every night, that's too much Lucy for even me to handle," He teased. "But do you want to go out again?"

Lucy nodded and blushed, "Yeah, it was really great."

"Ok then, you have my home, work, and pager number, so just call whenever, okay Luce?"

"I won't blow you off just yet," she responded with a wink.

"Good," He bent over and kissed her cheek, she put her hands on her shoulders and kissed his lips.

Carter opened his eyes, seeing Lucy's looking closely back into his made him forget everything in life that had ever bothered him about her. Everything in life, but this moment.

Lucy's cheeks turned pinker and she pressed her lips together and let go of Carter's shoulders, "I better get inside," She said licking her lips.

"Yeah it's cold," He held the door open and watched her go inside, she turned around in the middle of the stairs and smiled, "Thanks Carter, have a great night!"

He watched her for a little more, "Sweet dreams Lucy Knight."

He walked to his car, smiling and happier then he ever remembered. Lucy was right; he was going to have a great night!
