What to wear?-Chapter 3
Owen had just finished up his third surgery of the day and was exhausted. He felt his cell vibrate and thought to himself; please don't let it be another emergency.
He sheepishly answered; "Dr. Hunt"
"Hi"
"Well hello to you Dr. Yang" he smiled as he dropped down into a chair in the lobby.
"Oh, are we back to formal names again?" She hoped that he could hear the teasing in her voice.
"What are you doing?"
She wondered to herself if he knew how sexy his voice could be without even trying.
"I just got out the shower and I am wondering what I am supposed to wear for our date tonight?"
He couldn't help but feel the warmth rise from his stomach up to his cheeks. "Well, I could head over there now and you wouldn't have to put anything on…………"
"Don't do that. I tried that. You turned me down. Remember?"
"I did not turn you down. I asked you to wait"
"Oh..right. About how long do think this will last? The waiting, I mean?"
He laughed heartily into the phone but thought to himself that he couldn't wait much longer either.
"Jeans and a sweatshirt"
"You want me to wear jeans and a sweatshirt on our first date? What are we doin, washin your car?"
This conjured up another hard laugh. "Are you flirting with me Dr. Yang?"
"I don't flirt. Ever"
"I beg to differ. Has anyone ever told you that you're kind of a pain in the ass?"
"NO……me???"
She let herself fall backwards onto her bed. She loved this cat and mouse game they played. It made her happy. She couldn't help but think to herself how long it had been since she had an adult conversation with a man that got her. Truly understood HER.
"Where have you been today? I looked for you several times"
"Surgery. All day. Three of them. Why were you lookin for me?"
Careful Cristina, she thought to herself. Don't get soft and mushy yet. Don't show your hand just yet.
"Oh nothing. I was just curious about what you were doing"
"Right"
"What??"
"Nothing. I was just hoping that you missed my warm and inviting personality and my animal magnetism and just couldn't get enough of me. Like last night"
"Now who's flirting?"
"Yes. But at least I can admit it Dr. Yang"
"Whatever. Are you going home first or changing there at the hospital?"
"I brought my clothes with me. I'll just change here"
"Oh, I see. You brought your car washin clothes to work with you"
Another robust burst of laughter filled the phone line. "You're too much Cristina"
"Well, if you can't handle it…………"
"Oh…………trust me, I can handle it"
A moment of silence filled the air, but they both knew the other was smiling at the exchange they had both shared. And it felt good. It felt light and fun. Something they both needed in there lives right now.
"I'm going to wear the rattiest pair of jeans and the oldest sweatshirt I can find and I don't want any flack from you when you get here"
"Great. I will pick you up in an hour"
"OK. Don't be late!"
"Yes Cristina" he stated with an abundance of sarcasm.
She hung up and bounced off the bed to find the nicest sweatshirt and the snuggest fitting jeans she could find in clothes heap in the bottom of her closet and thought to herself, how am I supposed to seduce him in jeans and a sweatshirt?????
