Ray cocked a brow. "Oh, we will, eh?"
She sheepishly smiled. "Carry on. Let's see…I've never been arrested." She laughed hard as both she and Ray sipped. "For what?"
"Shoplifting. I was 15."
"Get outta here! Same thing…same age!" She laughed. "What did you shoplift?"
"Eyeliner." Ray smirked.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. When you're in a punk band, you need plenty of eyeliner." He threw a piece of paper at her when she laughed. "I was hard core into my punk scene." He found himself laughing with her. "So, what did you steal?"
"A bra."
"Seriously?" He smirked
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! Your turn."
"I never slept with anyone of the same sex." He tilted his head, lips pursed in a smirk. He felt his body rise when she took a sip. "Spill."
"Med school. My roommate and I were drunk and it just happened."
"I'm not buying the 'It just happened.' angle of it all. Come on. There's more to it." He suddenly found her fascinating.
Kate sighed. "It really just happened because we were drunk. We were moping about how long it had been since we got laid and we laughed that we should just have sex with each other since it would let out some tension." Seeing the look in Ray's eyes, she continued. "It was a one-time deal. I'm not into women."
"Still…you slept with one." Ray smiled.
"How many have you slept with?"
"That's not part of the game. Your turn."
Kate smiled. "Okay." She pondered a moment. I've never had sex on the kitchen table."
"Man! You're cruel!" Ray laughed as he took a sip.
Kate grinned. "I know." Ray watched as she seductively put the glass to her lips and sipped. "Another round?" She stood up and gathered the bottles of Jack still in the kitchen. She looked back at him. Perhaps feeling the Jack kicking in, she looked at Ray. "You know, this is a rather sturdy table."
Ray smiled as he stood up. "I never slept with someone I just met."
Both sipped their Jacks.
He stood dangerously close to her as she said "I never had sex with a patient, current or past."
Ray smiled as both sipped. "Okay. Let's see. I never slept with my attending." He smiled broader when she took a sip. "You are one naughty girl."
"I know. Why do you think I had to leave Florida?" She looked up at him. Yes, the alcohol is most definitely kicking in. She thought as she stared up at Ray. "Okay. I never had sex in the bathroom of a plane."
Ray shook his head as he took yet another sip. "You must have known me in a past life or something."
"Nah. Just going by what I think you might have done. You're one hell of a naughty boy, Ray Barnett."
He grinned broadly. "You don't even know the half of if." He moved in closer. "Let's see. I never drank so much I couldn't remember anything."
She laughed. "If you don't remember, than…"
"Then don't sip." He laughed.
"Okay. I've never used props during sex."
Ray looked at her, shocked. "Define 'props'."
"For each one I name that you've used, you have to take a sip. I'll do the same. Deal?"
"Deal. Now, define 'props'."
"Handcuffs."
Both sipped.
"Blindfold." She watched him as he sipped.
"Strawberries and whipped cream."
"EVIL!" He laughed as both sipped. "What else?"
"Feathers." She sipped. He didn't. "Okay. Um, Hot fudge."
They both sipped. Ray looked at her. "Are you giving me ideas or just merely trying to get me drunk?" His words started slurring together.
"Both."
"Okay. Fine. I never wanted to sleep with my attending."
They both sipped and Kate looked up at Ray. "Maybe we should stop. We both seem to be feeling the effects of the alcohol."
"Yeah, I know." He put his glass down. "What the…?" He gasped as she finished hers.
"Told you I could drink you under the table." She smiled. "Look. You're a little too drunk to walk home. How about you stay here tonight?"
"My shift starts at three tomorrow afternoon." Ray felt the room now spinning.
"You'll be there. You're just in no condition to walk anywhere." She helped him to her couch. "I'll get you some blankets and a pillow." She grabbed extras from her room. Kate walked out to the living room, only to find Ray already asleep. She tucked the pillow gently under his head and covered him. "Good night."
"So, how'd last night go?" Kerry asked Kate in the staff lounge the next day.
Kate took off her sunglasses. "We had a little too much to drink."
Kerry shook her head in disbelief. "Sara would be disappointed to know you've had strange men in your apartment, playing 'I Never' with them."
"How did you know?" Kate nearly dropped her cup of coffee. "Ray tell you?"
"Nope. You just did." Kerry sat on the couch. "You are a lot like Angie, despite your similarities to Sara. Sara was careful and inhibited. You and Ang? You're both impetuous and impulsive. You're a lot more uninhibited than your sisters or brothers ever were."
"I was the youngest of 8 kids, Kerry. I had to stand out." Kate sighed. "But, God, Kerry. I can't help but feel like I've known Ray most of my life. It was like…"
"Be careful with him. I adore Ray, but he's not someone I'd want my daughter or my sister dating." Kerry stood up. She gave Kate a hug. "Just be careful and don't let it interfere with work, okay?"
Kate kissed Kerry's cheek. "I promise."
"That was quite hot." Ray smarted as he walked in. "Now, see, knowing what I know now, I would have to…" He stopped when he saw Kate's glare. "Shit. Sorry." He smiled as Kerry left. "She doesn't know, does she?"
"About what? You coming over last night or my one night stand with Jenna?"
"Both."
"Oh, she knows about last night. She mentioned playing 'I Never' and I thought you told her, but I inadvertently did. Sorry."
Ray shrugged. "It's cool. Thanks for letting me stay last night."
"So, sleeping with the attending now, Barnett?" Morris's voice broke in the conversation.
"You're just…" He looked at Kate. "No. I got a little drunk and couldn't make it home, so she put me up on her couch."
"This is some great gossip for the gossip wheel here." Morris rubbed his hands together.
Kate looked at him. "Say one word and your ass is fired, Morris."
"You can't fire me. Kerry can." Morris wanted to stick his tongue out at her.
"Kerry's family. She'll follow my recommendations."
Morris gulped as he looked at her. "I heard nothing."
"Good." Kate smiled. She focused her attention on Ray. "I was serious about the supply closet."
"Really?" Ray arched an eyebrow.
