One Week Later
"So, Neela where are you off to in such a hurry?" Asked Morris
"Well my time off…" as she looks down on her watch. "Starts right about now."
"So, do you have any major plans?"
"Actually, I do I'm going to go visit Ray."
"Oh, wow Ray my man, why didn't you tell me I probably would have made the trip with you."
"Sorry Morris this trip I need to do it on my own."
"So I guess you're going to confess your undying love for him now." Morris says jokingly.
Neela just gave him a blank look and proceeded to turn around and walk away. As she was leaving Dr. Brenner approached her again.
"So Dr. Rasgotra how are you doing?"
"Fine thank you for asking Dr. Brenner."
"Listen I wanted to tell you I am sorry if I was being pushy before I just wanted to get to know the incredible Dr. Rasgotra. I hear from Dr. Dubenko that you are an amazing surgeon and person so I just wanted…"
"Thank You, I do apologize for being so rude I'm just in a bad place right now, and should not take it out on you or anyone else."
"Well, I do understand, listen you look like you're in a hurry but can I at least take you out for some coffee?"
"I really should go; I have a plane to catch tonight."
"Just 20 minutes tops, only a peace offering. Promise."
Neela thought about it for a minute and agreed to go across the street with Brenner for a quick cup of coffee.
The quick cup of coffee lasted about an hour. When Neela realized the time she was horrified.
"Oh God look at the time I have to go I have so much to do before I leave in three hours."
"Sorry it was longer then I expected, but thank you for the chance to sit with you."
"Your welcome but I really have to go."
"No problem let me drive you home you'll get there faster if I do."
"Thank you that would be a great help."
They hurried alone to Dr. Brenner's car and drove straight to Neela's Apartment. When they arrived he parks the car down stairs and she thanked him again for the talk and told him he wasn't such a bad bloke. He smiled at her and before Neela could even respond he leaned over and kissed her. Neela, after realizing what was happening pushed him back and ran out of the car. She ran up the stairs and slammed the door pressing her back against it. Flash backs of her kiss with Ray kept racing in her mind. The night that everything really changed for him and her. She started to rush and get ready with just an hour and a half to spare. She stopped a cab and had him rush her to the Airport. She made it just in time for boarding. As she sat in the plane she only had visions of Ray kissing her that night, and then started to envision all the kisses she has gotten from different men. At that moment Neela realized that one kiss they shared was the best and sweetest kiss she had ever had and that no matter what, none of those men are him. He is the one the only one for her, and she was on her way to tell him.
Finally.
