Ice and Fire

Chapter 7

AMY POV

You know when you have really good days? Like the kinds of days that you want to go back in time and relive them all over again? When everything is at peace and you feel so blessed to be alive. But a feeling way better then this is that you have someone else to experience it with you. That this small window in time you manage to collectively exist. And in the middle of ordinary, you find yourself in the wide spread of extraordinary. That's how I feel right now. This is one of those days where I don't want to forget.

It's six in the morning. I wake up to the trickling sound of rain. The storm is still brewing outside but it seems like it has calmed down compared to last night. I love the smell and the sound of rain. Who doesn't? I realized where I was when I feel a grip on my hands. I was holding Karma's waist. She had a strong grip on my arms. I smiled. I loved this feeling. Being with her makes all my worries go away.

I have to get up soon. I have early rounds today. I tried to disentangled myself from Karma but it was impossible. I tried not to wake her up but that failed miserably. I heard Karma groan. "Morning Karma," I said in her ear. "Why are you up so early? Go back to sleep," she said with her eyes closed. "I have to be at work pretty soon." "Can't you just call in? Come on! It's Sunday," Karma whined and I couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry but I Have to go." She turned and looked at me. She grabbed the collar of my long sleeve and pulled me to her. She kissed me and I wasn't expecting it. She hums into the kiss. She lingers on my lips for a little bit. "Fine," she said against my lips and kissing me again. "Call me when you have a break." "I will," I said as I leaned in and kissed her again. She must of been tired because by the time I got up, used the bathroom and put on my clothes, she was knocked out. Slightly snoring and I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful sight in my life.

I get to work around eight in the morning and grab some coffee. Lord knows I'm going to need it. I do my rounds. Nothing is out of the usual. Eleven rolled by and that was my first break. I go into my office and check my phone. I have a couple of texts. Some from karma, some from Lauren and one from Jessica. I try hard to ignore Jessica's.

Karma-I had a great time last night. I hope we can do it again. I hope you got to work safely. Xoxo

Yup. She makes me blush without even knowing it. I play with my keyboard. I don't know what to write. But I just go with my first instincts.

Amy- I had an amazing time as well. And we'll definitely do something like that again :)
Karma- Are you on your break?
Amy- Yeah. Why?

I didn't get a reply but the next moment my phone is ringing. "Hello?" I said in the phone. "Hey, how are you?" Karma said in a sleepy voice. "I'm really good, you?"I said and she let out a small laugh. "I'm great too." There was a minute of silence. It was a comfortable silence. I could hear her breathing and I'm sure she could hear my breathing. I was twirling in my chair with a big smile on my face. I would be so embarrassed if she saw me right now. "What are you thinking about?" Karma asked breaking the silence. "You already know the answer to that, Karma," I said and she let out a small snort,"I want to hear you say it." "Fine, I'm thinking about you. Karma Ashcroft, I'm siting in my office thinking about you, there?" I could hear her giggling. "Was that so hard, doctor?" I rolled my eyes but still with a smile on my face. "You have no idea," I said jokingly. "Hey!" She yelled a little. "I'm kidding!" I laughed. Thank god I'm not with her right now or she would have slapped my arm. Then again, I would of liked it. "What are you still doing in bed so late?" "How do you know I'm in bed?" "Just a guess," I said closing my office door. "Well I had an early day. I had to take Rachel's to her dads and than I had to get Liam and Shane to get out of my house. I love my brother and Shane but I like my alone time too and after that I took a nap and here I am talking to you," she said all in one breath. I'm surprised I got it all. "You must be exhausted!"I said with sarcasm laced around my words. "Shut up!" I laugh a little and she joins. "So when's your next break?" "Around two. Why?" "Maybe we can catch something to eat. I can go and visit you since I have nothing to do all day." "Why not, I wouldn't want you to be bored." "Okay doctor, I'll see you in a few hours!" I smiled to myself, "See you too, Karma," and the line went dead.

I'm still smiling but frown at the fact that I still have a message from Jessica. Do I dare to read it? I read it anyway.

Jessica- hey Amy it's me Jessica. It was very nice seeing you the other night. Please let's have dinner sometime and we could catch up. Yeah? I would love it.

I don't reply to Jessica. I don't know if I'm ready to even see her. I let the text just sit in my phone and continue my work day.

KARMA POV

I look at my clock and it's almost one. I've been watching Netflix all day. Talk about a lazy Sunday, am I right? I close my laptop and get ready to go out to lunch with Amy.

I get to the hospital a little earlier. I asked the nurses station if I could wait for Amy in her office. They oblige to my request. They took me and I sat in her office waiting quietly.

I could hear her approach her office. Talking to another doctor I'm assuming. I get really excited at the fact that I'm about to see her. She opens the door and sees me sitting down. "Surprise!" I yelled a little. She has this big smile on her face and I can't help but pat myself in the back in my head because I'm the cause of the big smile. "It's a surprise indeed!" I get up and give her a tight embrace. "Where do you want to eat?" I asked her pulling slightly away from the embrace. I want her to kiss me again. "Surprise me," she whispered coming closer. Her hands were on my back and she slip them down to my hips. I instinctively wrapped my arms around her neck. She smiled at me and she leaned down to kiss me. This kiss was loving. I could feel something in that kiss and my stomach soon was consumed with butterflies. We both smiled into the kiss. I pulled away and said,"okay."

She leaves her lab coat in her office and has her scrubs on. "Do you mind if I go in my scrubs?" "Not at all. They look good on you," I said winking at her. We go to the patients parking garage because that's where I left my car. "You want to drive my baby?" I asked as I wiggled my keys on my finger. "You don't even have to ask me twice!" She said taking the keys from my hand. We get in and she hits her knees under the steering wheel. "You have to be that short don't you?" She said, pushing the buttons on the side of the chair to give her more space for her knees. "Hey! No one asked you to be so tall!" I laughed at her and she joined. We drive off. "This baby drives nice! We should just trade cars you know?" Amy said while reaching for my hand and lacing it together. I don't know what it is about her but she looks sexy driving with one hand and holding mine with the other. I want to live in this moment forever. All I manage to say was, "Perhaps." With a wink at the end.

"So where are we going?" "Well, maybe we can just pick the first place we see an try it out?" I said not having a clue where to go. "Okay, we'll eat right here," she said as she was turning the corner. The place read,'Jason's Pizzeria.' "Pizza it is then!" We go in and eat. We talk about a lot of things and a question occurred to me. I was feeling very bold lately and I asked her.

"So Amy, what are we?" Amy looked in my eyes and grabbed my hand. "Right now I really like you and I want you to be more than just dates. And I want to ask you properly. So go on a date with me on Wednesday night since I have Thursday off and we can hang out the whole day after that. And then we'll know what we are. What do you say?" "Are you saying that I won't be able to see you till Wednesday?" I pouted at her. She smiled and said, "It will be worth the wait. But since I know you can't stand to stay away from me, we can go out to lunch on my breaks." I huge grin grew on my face, "deal!" I said to her.

We head back to the hospital and go to her office. I have to go but I don't want to. I sit on her chair and she motions me to get right back up with her pointer finger. She pulls me from my waist and catches my lips. I wrapped my arms around her neck and our lips are moving. I deepen the kiss. First it's slow and loving. Then, I'm asking for permission and she lets me in. I never moaned into a kiss like I just did and I could feel Amy smiling. She pulled away and rested our foreheads together. My eyes are still closed. "I have to get back to work." She whisper and I simply nod and give her another kiss on the cheek. "Call me later," and just like that I'm out the door.

AMY POV

I sit in my chair with a goofy grin plaster on my face and I'm consumed by all things Karma.

I hear a knock on my door and I'm broken away from my trance. I opened it and my smile quickly turns into a grown.

"Hey, Amy."
"Jessica."

"What are you doing here?" I managed to say after a few moments of disbelief. "I came here because you weren't answering my text or calls." She stated sitting down on one of my patients chairs. I look at my phone and realized I had missed calls from her too. "Well here you are, what do you need?" "I need you to realize that I'm human and I make mistakes. I need you in my life. I know I've done poor decisions in my life but I'm ready now and I won't lose you again," she stated with tears eyes. I could never stand her to cry so I got up and went to her side. I gave her a hug. She cried in to my shoulder. All I managed to say was, "there, there. Don't cry. Please don't cry." I gave her a kiss on her head.

"Hey Amy I can't find my keys did I leave them in here," Karma said barging in the door. She looked up at me and I pulled away from Jessica. She looked between us and looked down at my desk where her keys were. "Never mind, got them," she said shyly when she grabbed her keys. I could see her eyes watering. "As you were," she said before walking out and shutting the door behind her. I wanted to run after her but I had a crying Jessica in my room.

Today has gone from the best day to the worst fucking day of my life.
