Because we always seems to find each other.
Luka had his hands poised over the keyboard of the Adimt computer, but his attention was concentrated on Abby, who was with Craig in one of the Suture Rooms. They were talking and laughing. Earlier, she had told him she was going to explain to Craig that everything that had happened between them had all been a mistake. One big mistake. But watching the scene playing out before him, Luka's thoughts were haunted with doubt. Had she changed her mind? Had it really been a mistake?
He saw Grace writing something on the board and remembered he had to talk with her as well.
"Hey... Grace... Can we talk?" The girl dropped some charts on the floor and quickly knelt down to pick them up.
"I'm kinda busy..."
"Well... It's important." She looked from side to side and then dragged him into an empty room.
"Be quick please."
"Hmm... About last night..."
She interrupted him.
"About that Dr. Kovac, I'd appreciate it if we could just pretend that it never happened." Luka stared at her, a look of confusion etched across his face.
"Is this because of your brother, Craig?" She was about to shake her head, but then looked at him, clearly intrigued by his words.
"How did you know that he's my brother? We have differents last names..."
Luka attempted to cover his words with a lie.
"Hmm... Grace... the thing is..."
"Please Dr. Kovac, call me by my last name. Allen..."
"Right... ok... Allen..."
She interrupted him again.
"Are we done here?"
"I guess..."
She walked towards the door.
"No, wait!"
Slowly she turned to look at him.
"Yes Doctor? Is there another problem?"
"No, just the same one as before. Not that I mind, but why you're acting like this?"
The girl sighed.
"You're kidding me right?"
He opened his mouth to say something, but she jumped in and said something before he could, "Put it this way, if your girlfriend finds out about what happened between us, she is going to kill us both!"
"Girlfrie--" Grace interrupted him again. Luka was going to lose his temper soon if she kept interrupting him, he could feel it.
"Oh, no. My mistake... She's going to kill you, you get the easy way out. She is going to develop an evil plan and somehow crush me, ruining my entire life, and most importantly, my job! You know what Dr. Kovac? My career is above any relationship on my priority list!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Oh come on! Don't play the innocent with me, you know that I'm talking about Dr. Lockhart! Don't even try denying that she is your girlfriend because I saw how you two stare at each other!" With that, Grace stormed out the room slamming the door behind her, leaving just one thought playing on Luka's mind. 'She stares at me?'
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Abby?" He took a seat next to her on the bench, near to the ambulance
bay. "How did it go?"
"How did what go?"
"The break-up with your boyfriend Craig..." She gave him a typical 'Abby Look' which caused them both to burst out laughing.
Then Abby stopped. "It isn't funny, Luka. I think I hurt his feelings..."
"You did? In that case, I don't think you were as lucky as I was with Grace..."
"Oh, yeah! How did it go with your girlfriend Grace?"
"Let's just Say she broke-up with me."
She pressed her hands over her mouth in an attempt to stop laughing, but unfortunately she was not doing a very good job.
"It isn't funny, Abby!" He said, smiling as he imitated her, "Besides..." he continued, grinning at her, "I think she hurt my feelings..."
Abby was laughing so much that she felt sure that if she carried on, her stomach would explode!
"Who . . . Who?" She gasped, trying to regulate her breathing once more, "Who would be crazy to do that with the Hot Doc. of County General?"
His eyes widened and he opened his mouth to reply, but at that moment, Chuny walked into the ambulance bay and called out to Abby.
"Sorry, gotta go!" She said heading back to the ER.
"Wait!"
She turned back to face him.
"I was wondering if . . ."
"Yes?" His eyes dropped to the floor, her gaze too intense for him to think straight.
"Would you like to come to my apartment to night? You know... for pizza... a movie..." Abby smiled and then looked at the floor.
Luka was intrigued by her response, "What?"
"You just ruined my surprise..."
See? Told ya this is a Luby!
