Fire: Do you ever?
Ice: No…not really, good point. Be sure to check out the end notes for some important information! On with the story!
Mistletoe
The one thing that every person knows, regardless of religion, is the story behind mistletoe. The green plant with the berries that you hang in a doorway and when two people are under it, they are supposed to kiss. Sarah had never had it in her home growing up (Why would she?) but she could still recognize it and to be truthful…she was getting sick of it! It was all over the hospital put up, she assumed, by single doctors and nurses who would stand under it during their breaks trying to get someone to kiss them. Sarah didn't have time for this. Winter cold/sick season.
It was late, almost midnight, and Sarah and Matt were still at the hospital. But, for the first time in ages it seemed, it had quieted down enough that they could finally relax. Sarah was standing at the empty nurse's station, minding her own business when she felt someone wrap their arms around her and pull her close.
It was Matt of course. And
he smiled down at her and asked, "And how are you Mrs.
Camden?"
Sarah smiled back at him, "Ok, I guess," she
relaxed into him and let her chart fall half-finished onto the table
top, "just tired, worried, slightly irritated. The usual."
"What's
bothering you?" Matt asked, turning Sarah so that she was facing
him.
"Nothing really…I don't know why it's bothering me to
be truthful. Mistletoe. That darn mistletoe. It has all of the nurses
and doctors just…not themselves. I can't enter a room without
having someone standing right in the doorway, waiting for a certain
person. And if that person comes…ugh! I have to stand there while
they kiss. It's driving me up the wall!"
Matt's eyes went from
understanding to mischievous all in the blink of an eye.
"Hmmm…so
that explains it…nothing we can really do about it though.
I--"
Beep! Beep! Matt's pager went off. He glanced down
at it and then looked back to his wife. "That's not fair! Just
when I was getting comfortable too! Sorry…can we continue this when
we go home?" Sarah nodded in agreement. Then Matt did something he
normally didn't do when they were at work, he glanced around, saw
that no one was there, leaned down and captured her lips with his.
Sarah was slightly surprised, but was in no mood to reject him. As
the kiss started to get deeper, Matt broke it just as unannounced as
it had come and went to go check on his patient. Sarah stood there in
a daze briefly thinking, he needs to do that at work more often!
Shaking her head, she went back to pick up her fallen chart and
saw a sprig of mistletoe.
