Heather blinked.
A second ago she told Elliot they had to talk about yesterday. And now she was in an unoccupied room and Elliot leaned against the closed door.
The blond was even more strange than usual.
She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
"Elliot, I didn't know who he was."
"Yesirealizethatbutdontyouunderstandthatihavetoworkwiththeguyandhowstrangeitisthatihadsexwithhimanddidntknowthatheismybossandwhydidntyoustopmeonceyouknewbecauseicouldntthinkanymore…" came from Elliot, but it was to fast and high to understand.
"Do you want me to not talk about it?"
A thankful nod from Elliot. "Yes that would make things easier. It is bad enough I imagine his hands and eyes…" She drifted of into her thoughts but got back to their topic.
"But it is bad to think about Dr Cox like that because and he is my boss and he is a narcissist and a borderline alcoholic and a bit bi-polar, and in a strange twisted relationship with his ex-wife."
Heather didn't say anything. This were all good reasons IF they were talking about a relationship of some kind.
Not that Elliot realised that in her rambling.
It was clear she was really confused about it.
In a way that was sad, Elliot had been so open and free once she stopped thinking about who she was with. She let him just do what whatever he wanted with her, completely against what was normal for her.
Heather knew her friend, better than Elliot knew herself at times.
"Well, if you want to forget what happened than I could go for him as long as I'm here. I mean, why go through the stage of drinking, looking for somebody interesting, flirting and so on if I could just ask him if he would be willing to help me out for a few days. I mean, I already know what I get with him. And he is attractive and knows what he is doing."
Elliot looked at her friend as if she had grown a second head.
Heather wanted to go after Dr Cox?
She didn't know what to think about that. "If you want to."
Perry stood on the station Counter of the nurses and concentrated on a chart. Turk and JD were fooling around and Carla did her best to dampen the two.
JD and Turk reacted when Elliot and a beautiful redhead they didn't know left a room.
The redhead went to the preoccupied Perry and tipped on his shoulder to get him to be aware of her.
Not something people normally did. They knew better than to poke him. They were surprised to see that he just saw her and didn't say anything. Everybody else doing that would have resulted in a long rant about their questionable intelect or their death wish.
She shook his hand. "Hello, my name is Heather, a friend of Elliot. I'm in the city for the next 3 days and would be interested in a few nights of hard, meaningless sex, no strings attached. I didn't know your name yesterday so I couldn't yell it out in passion, we could rectify that tonight. After your shift, my hotel?"
The others were staring at her and Cox.
Cox folded his arms on his chest.
"Sure, why the hell not."
She sauntered away with swishing hips.
Cox looked after her, head angled.
The others were staring after her too and then at Cox.
Turk wanted to say something but stopped himself when he saw Carla's look.
Cox went back to his chart without a comment.
Heather did see it, that look on Elliot's face that told her she was really unhappy about something.
And Heather smirked.
