Better Ending-Chapter 2
"Come home with me?"
God he wanted to. He wanted her so bad. He needed her and she needed him. But it just wasn't time yet. Not yet.
"Cristina…………we can't. Not yet. Just wait. Please wait?"
"I don't want to wait. What exactly are we doing here?"
"I don't know. But I want this. I need you to know that I want this, but were not ready yet"
"Um......I am. Ready I mean. I'm ready" she whispered as she bent to kiss his neck and up to his ear "The backseat of my car will work just fine..........."
He smiled and gently pushed back on her shoulders. She looked disappointed, but understanding. She tried to pout, but just couldn't pull it off.
"Go on a date with me?"
She looked up at him with a slight grin as she leaned backwards against her car. "You mean like dinner and drinks and girly stuff like that?"
"Is that what you want to do?"
"I think I just told you what I wanted to do"
"Cristina"
"Owen"
"I'm serious. A real date. How bout tomorrow night?"
She was looking at him thoughtfully. He really was a good guy. Just a genuine nice, sweet guy. Clueless at times it appeared, but what man wasn't?
"OK, but I don't want a formal dinner where I have to dress up and feel uncomfortable the whole night. I mean don't get me wrong, I clean up real nice, but I just don't want that this week. Is that alright?"
He was grinning at her and had leaned in close to her "Any time with you that your not throwing daggers at me with your eyes, is alright with me" as he planted a short sweet kiss on her pouting lips.
"You deserved it" as she also leaned in to his lips. But he didn't allow her to pull away as he had. He kissed her passionately again. It seemed to her that every kiss this man gave her was filled with passion.
"Look, unless you want me to take you in the back seat of my car, you have to stop this"
"Sorry. I am magically drawn to you. Cant help it"
"Good night Dr. Hunt"
"Who?" he had started to turn away but stopped and looked back at her.
"Good night Owen"
"Good night Cristina. Drive safely"
She slid into the seat of her car and drove away allowing a smile to creep onto her face. A better ending to her day than she had expected an hour ago, a much better ending.
