JO

I sat my lunch tray down on the table that AMBER, Meredith and Amelia were already sitting at. "Amber got asked out by one of the reps from the scalpel company." Meredith said looking over at me.

"What! Shut up, are you going?!"

"If we have anything to say about, she is totally going." Amelia stated, grinning slyly.

Amber rolled her eyes and groaned out. "I am not going. I've been working crazy all week and I don't have anyone to watch Hannah. I just need to text him and tell him thanks, but no thanks."

I started in on my chicken wrap. Looking over at Amber, I suddenly had an idea. "Problem solved! Alex is working tonight. Why don't I keep Hannah? We can have a girl's night. Dinner, pedicures, movies. I'll swing by your apartment and grab her stuff and I'll have her here tomorrow morning. I'm in at 9. Just give me her car seat at some point and let the daycare know that I'll be there to pick her up."

Amelia and Meredith both grinned with arms raised their arms in the air in triumph. Amber looked over at her sister-in-law trying to gauge her seriousness. Before she could question me, I answered her inquiring thoughts. "Seriously. I would love to take her for the night. You know she would love it, too and she'll be in great hands. Text scalpel guy and tell him you'll see him tonight."

Amber laughed at the three women around her and shook her head. "Fine. But this is your fault when it goes bad."

AMBER

I ran up to the daycare to let the staff know that Jo would be picking up Hannah. When I hugged her and told her Aunt Jo and she were going to have a slumber party, I knew she'd be fine. Giving her one last kiss goodbye, I ran down the steps to the OR where I was scheduled to scrub in.

Bursting into the scrub room, both Alex and Jackson looked up from washing their hands. "Nice of you to join us." Alex laughed. Annoyed, I settled in on the other side of Jackson and began my scrub routine.

"I had to run up to the daycare. Sorry."

"Yeah, I heard Hannah and Jo are having a girl's night tonight. Jo is really excited."

Laughing, I replied to my brother. "Yeah, Hannah didn't even care she wouldn't see me tonight. I see where I rank now that she has you guys."

"So, what's scalpel guy's name?"

I felt Jackson tense up next to me. Concentrating on my washing I told Alex that his name is Brad and to shut up. Jackson turned off his water and walked into the OR. Alex raised his eyebrows to me and I gave him a confused look. Super odd, but okay.

About an hour into a super awkwardly quiet surgery, Jackson cleared his throat. "So where is your date tonight?"

"I'm not sure…I let him know I could meet him after my shift but he didn't say where we would be going." I replied, surprised.

"Reps make good money. Make him take you somewhere nice." He glanced up from his work at me, piercing me with his brown eyes. I just smiled, not exactly sure what to say about that.

At the end of the five-hour surgery, the three of us stripped off our gowns and went back to wash up. Alex offered to finish the reporting since he would be here tonight and left, leaving just Jackson and myself. "How was your week with Harriett?" I asked. I knew he had her last week, I'd seen her in the daycare.

"It was good. It's crazy how much she grows in the few weeks I don't see her. But I'm sure you feel the same way when Hannah is gone."

"Yeah, I do. She'll be in Denver for a little over two months this next time. Her step mom is a teacher and she has the summers off. I'll miss her like crazy but she'll have fun and they deserve to have her for the summer."

"I hope you have fun on your date tonight." He said quietly, turning off the faucet. Whatever his deal was, it finally hit a nerve with me.

"Yeah? Because the surgeries we've done before now have been enjoyable with conversations and laughing. Alex mentioned me going on a date and perhaps I'm spit balling here, but you seemed to tense up and not want to talk anymore. What gives, Avery?"

As soon as I the last words were out of my mouth, I felt a strong set of arms whip me around and before I knew it, Jackson's lips were crashing into mine. One of my wet soapy hands moved up around his neck while the other ran over his buzz cut head. In one swift move, he picked me up by my ass and turned us around so my back was slammed against the closet. Pulling his head back, I moved down to his neck, trailing my tongue from the lowest part I could reach to his earlobe and the sound of his approval made my insides clench.

"Don't go out with him." He growled into my ear. Gasping at his command, I involuntarily dug my nails into his back so I could move my core closer to him. Groaning against my lips, he set me down and placed both of his hand on either side of my head. Pushing against me he repeated himself in between kissing my neck. "Don't. Go. Out. With. Him." Before I knew it, he was gone and out the door without looking back at me.

What the fuck?! I thought. Groaning I went back to the sink and rinsed off in the water that was still running from before. After drying off I made sure my scrubs were on straight and I left. Well…this just got interesting.
