Chapter 12
There were things you just couldn't do when you didn't want to wake Percival Ulysses Cox.
You couldn't stare at him.
As a physician in a hospital he could wake in a matter of seconds. From REM to functioning and rescuing people in 3 seconds flat. That was hospital record!
They stopped his time at the end of a double shift he couldn't really remember.
He stayed completely relaxed as Elliot decided what she would do. It wasn't as if she hadn't seen everything before. Not that he would have a problem with her seeing him naked even if she hadn't seen him before or had had sex with her. So, he was a narcissist. He didn't see the problem.
A sudden movement gave him the opportunity to settle himself a bit more comfortable without her realising that he was awake.
He really wanted to know what she would do.
Heather came into the room and looked over her project.
Perry was sleeping and Elliot looked like she didn't know what she had to do.
Heather didn't let her sigh out.
She had hoped to find the two busy with each other like the other morning, but then, she should have known Elliot better.
Last time Elliot just had to react, she didn't have to initiate anything. Did she expect too much out of the blonde?
Heather put everything in her hands on the bed.
"Morning. I got something to eat."
She settled herself on the bed and watched fascinated as Elliot devoured the first thing she came in contact with.
Perry was watching her also, fascinated that somebody so thin could eat that fast.
Even with the display being downright disgusting it was manna for his ego that he really worked her down like that.
He secured something to eat for himself and watched Heather watching Elliot.
The blonde was the only one not knowing what her old friend was trying and Perry found it interesting.
Elliot not seeing it and Heather planning it.
This was not exactly normal behaviour between girlfriends. At least from what he could see of the interactions between Barbie and Newbie, and much girlier that these two just wasn't possible.
Barbie began to say something, Cox just shut out of his consciousness.
Heather looked back to him and they focussed each other.
Damn
Heather saw exactly that Perry knew what she was trying.
He didn't say anything, he just looked at her that made absolutely clear he knew.
Why didn't he say anything?
He wasn't the type who just sat there in silence. Oh no, he had a reason. The question was, what did he plan?
Damn.
Elliot realised that she was talking to herself and looked from her food to her companions.
Heather and Cox were staring at each other. They didn't talk or move, they just stared.
A little tingling went through her.
Jealously.
She didn't really have any reason, Heather was a friend and could decide to what or whom she wanted to do and Perry Cox was just her boss, nothing else.
The amount of time they went groiny with each other meant nothing.
The next uncomfortable tingling.
Why did it have to be heather and Cox? Why couldn't she have gone for somebody different, somebody that wouldn't make everything so complicated.
JD
Stop. JD was way complicated. Ho boy, was he complicated. She was happy they were out of their earlier relationship and in a stable friendship. Much better for both of them.
But she knew that it wouldn't be such a problem for her as what was happening now even if she wasn't willing to admit that even to herself.
What was wrong with her?
