Last Chapter…
So they didn't quite make it to get coffee. They made it as far as the elevator.
The elevator doors weren't closed more than a couple of seconds when Burke reached down and kissed Cristina, the weight of his body against hers pushing them against the side of the elevator. He had surprised her. The elevator move was McDreamy's specialty not Burke's.
They went into the empty lab in an attempt to get away from the watchful eyes of the surgical nurses that were guarding the on-call rooms. She liked it so much better in here than the on-call room because it was bigger and they could be a little louder without drawing attention to themselves. They were like teenagers sneaking around from their parents as they tried to avoid nurses and other staff.
They barely had the door shut when they started to undress each other, their lips never separating for too long. How much more efficient it would have been for them each to take their own clothes off but they were enjoying the fumbling as they maneuvered the clothing off. Their coats, scrubs, shoes, underwear carelessly strewn across the lab floor. She loved it when Burke was spontaneous. Their hands traced each other's bodies slowly feeling every curve until he placed both hands on her face and they were looking right into each other's eyes. Sometimes she had trouble remembering what she thought had made her happy before they were together. At that moment he kissed her and in one movement picked her up, letting her legs wrap around him before placing her body on the empty counter. It always surprised her how strong and gentle he could be at the same time. She loved it. Who was she kidding? She loved him.
Cristina starts laughing.
He stops kissing her neck to remind her "Shhh someone's going to hear you "
"I can't help it. It's all your fault."
The sex was amazing. It always was…in different ways. Sometimes she'd try to figure out why it was so good and always came back to the same reason. Because they were truly in love. She would rack her brain and always came back to this same answer. They truly loved each other and so each time it was special because of that and that's what made it so amazing for her. It was times like this that she was convinced that she had lost her mind. Gone were the days when sex was good or bad now apparently it was special.
Burke's watching Cristina finish getting dressed. He remembers early in their relationship being in this same room feeling completely uncertain about what the two of them were doing. He walks over to her and grabs her in his arms whispering in her ear "Still want that coffee?" Cristina is smiling when her pager starts going off.
She finds her pager on the floor "You go home and get some rest. I think I'll get my own coffee thanks!"
"Goodnight." Burke hands Cristina her lab coat.
Running out the door she yells "Goodnight."
As she runs up the stairs to get back to the 4th floor, Cristina laughs to herself thinking that dating an Attending definitely has its perks!
