CHAPTER 5CRISTINAS POV
Cristina looked at her watch; she had been sitting in the nursery for three hours. Three hours, Cristina thought, She could have scrubbed into a surgery and started on a new case by now.
Cristina knew she had to talk to Burke and she would, eventually. She just wanted him to suffer a little bit first. It was his fault that she said it in the first place he caused the stupid argument.
Cristina put her hand to her mouth. Lately she had developed the habit of biting her nails. It was a nervous habit, before Burke, Cristina was never nervous.
She looked down at her fingers, "Damn burke"
Cristina regretted what she had accidentally told him, she wasn't in her right mind. She didn't want to feel as if she had lost control and even more she wished he hadn't seen her like that.
She did love him, she even told him that she loved him, of course he was sleeping, but it still counted.
BURKES POVBurke looked at his watch while walking up the stairs towards the maternity ward, it wasn't hard to get the location out of Karev. He noticed that Cristina had been hiding from him for a while now. Burke smiled to himself thinking that she had finally learnt that she couldn't avoid him while still scrubbing into surgeries.
Burke was counting the stairs as he went. He had only started this about six months ago, a nervous habit he assumed. He had never been nervous before Cristina. He WAS Preston Burke, a strong willed surgeon. Nervous he was not.
Upon reaching the maternity ward, Burke spotted Cristina gazing wearily at the babies.
Cristina must have spotted Burke watching her because for the second time that day she picked up her books and started walking in the opposite direction.
"Cristina just stop for a second", Burke started, he hadn't expected to be chasing his girlfriend around the maternity ward today.
'Look Cristina you don't have to say anything, unless you want to".
Cristina stopped and turned around, "You'll let me speak first?"
"Sure", Burke smiled slightly at Cristina, watching as she blew a stray curl out of her eyes.
"Ok, so I found out what happened last night, what I said…" Cristina started
"Cristin…" Burke interrupted.
"Hey, I'm speaking right…" Cristina paused and waited for Burkes confirmation
"Sorry…yes continue".
"I was drunk, out of control, just because we had some stupid argument over whether or not I should wash the dishes…" Cristina was interrupted again.
"Oh, that's what it was", Burke started, finally remembering why she had gone to Meredith's in the first place.
"Burke?" Cristina looked at him angrily.
"Sorry", Burke mumbled, knowing the only reason he kept interrupting was the fear of actually hearing what she had to say.
Cristina lowered her eyes, noticeably looking at the ground.
"Look…I love you…intoxicated or not", Cristina blurted out loud, attracting the attention of people around her.She flashed him a huge smile.
Burke watched on as Cristina turned on her heel and walked towards the stairs, mumbling something abut finally getting a surgery.
"Wow, that was a surprise, who knew the wicked witch had a heart", Burke turned to find Karev looking at him, trying to hold back a smirk.
"You are pushing you're luck Karev"
Burke looked at Alex and then walked back to the window of the nursery.
Alex took one look at Burke and added, "I always told her you were out to get in her scrubs, who knew the feelings were reciprocated".
Alex left quickly before Burke had the chance to react.
Burke continued to watch the babies, focusing on a couple being taken by a nurse to their new baby.
He loved Cristina, and she loved him. They would be fine.
