Out on your Corner in the Pouring Rain.

Summary: Way overdue. We all know that Chrissie and Owen were meant for each other, even through infidelity and lies. What they have is so perfect that it cannot be denied.

Chrissie wants Owen. Owen wants Diane. Diane wants Ric. But when Owen decided to change his mind and throw everything that he had with Diane away, is it what Chrissie really wants?

A/N: This is an alternate storyline exploring the rocky ChrissieOwen relationship we all know and love. I am a huge ChrissieOwen fan and I just thought of a different way everything could have happened. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Nope. Not yet.

Chapter 6 – Behind Closed Doors

As Diane rushed down the corridor after Ric, she couldn't help but notice the way his muscles rippled the green material of the scrubs he was wearing. She was so caught up in his perfect body that she didn't hear him calling out her name.

'Diane.' He said. 'Diane! Diane?' he tried all possible tones of voice but just couldn't seem to capture her attention. 'DIANE WILL YOU ASSIST!' his raised tone of voice finally warranted to her snapping out of her daze and staring into his beautiful eyes.

'Yes! Yes, yes of course Ric.' She replied flustered.

Diane's POV

God. Look at the expertise of his hands. They look so skilled, so perfect. His skin looks so soft. I wonder what his hands could…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She knew that she shouldn't be thinking like that, but she couldn't help herself. She always knew that there was something between her and Ric but she never knew it was this strong.

Finally she started to concentrate on the procedure they were doing rather than the surgeon she was doing the procedure with, and it paid off. He carefully asked her to close up the wound, which she did, obviously, absolutely perfectly. She was silently glad of this as it lead to many congratulations from Ric.

To try to disengage herself from these lustful feelings she decided to head to her husbands office where she saw him busily working as usual. She admired him for his good spirit and his hard working personality. She felt all of those lustful feelings rush back to her and this time they were courtesy of her wonderful husband.

Just then Ric walked by and Diane sent an admiring glance in the way of his rear end. Chrissie noticed this appreciative look and wandered to her colleague's side leaning in to whisper into her ear.

'Lusting are we Diane?' she asked slyly, 'I wouldn't let your husband find out; I mean he might not be best pleased.' Chrissie smiled at the look of horror on Diane's face, she was aiming to intimidate her and it was working.

Diane, being the naïve young woman that she was, mistook this as an offer of friendship, and a chance to speak out to someone about the way she was feeling.

'Oh Chrissie you have no idea!' she cried.

Chrissie was surprised at this little outburst, but decided to take Diane's willingness to open up as a chance to persuade her out of her relationship with Owen. 'Oh don't I?' she asked. 'Well then Diane, you'll just have to enlighten me.'

'Oh Chrissie! I have wanted so much to speak about this to someone but I have been too afraid.' She said. 'You see, there has always been some little spark between me and Ric, from the very start, but then I met Owen. Things weren't progressing with me and Ric; we were either too afraid, or too stubborn to open up to each other, to tell each other how we really felt. I saw Owen as my savior, as my way to escape from the little non-relationship I had going on with Ric. I neither intended nor expected for it to develop into anything more but before I knew it I was falling deeper and deeper in love with him. He made the first move, which made it so much easier for me.'

Chrissie interrupted Diane's little escapade; 'I know how you feel; it's not fair is it?'

'No!' Diane said sadly. 'It isn't. Especially after my hen night, when I'd had enough of all the girls I went off with Ric, and whilst we were together we kissed. All those feelings I'd had for him once came rushing back. I knew that I still loved Owen, and that I wanted our wedding to go ahead. I thought that me and Ric were over, but since the kiss I haven't been able to stop thinking about him.'

As Diane skipped off happily Chrissie stood stunned, still trying to take in all the words that Diane had just spoken to her. Maybe Owen and Diane didn't have the perfect little relationship that they put on show. Maybe they were so very different, and with that Chrissie muttered to herself, 'Behind closed doors.'

A/N: Next is the penultimate chapter. Are things going to get better or worse? Ta for reviewing :D
