Lure Lost Episode Chap 13/?
A/N: Sorry I don't know Casey's real birthday I been trying to find it but I only find the year sorry but I suspect he would be a leo or virgo :P so you get an idea what month they're in :P enjoy
It all seems to fly by so fast. It has been a week since Chris did the surgery, after five hours of carefully extracting, scrapping any remains of the tumor that was etching into his frontal lobe. It was certainly nerve wrecking enough to know it was, relatively, 'close to home.'now he was at Katie's looking for food.
"I'm glad you decided to spend your day off with me" She smiled sitting on the couch watching him scourging through her fridge. She was smiling again. Even though her smile did not stretched across her face she didn't looked stress than before, her glow wasn't gone.
"Yup, all just for you" He said roaming through her fridge. How heavenly, Reid thought. A full fridge with the entire galore one could eat. It made him smile to himself, like a kid a candy store but not so much since he was in someone's home eating off their food but it was likely the same. Taking out the ingredients and packing them in his arm. Oh how he love making his epic sandwiches.
"There's this thing keeping at metro, its Casey's birthday"
"That's the…"
"Bob's grandson, He's with one of the nurses you probably see everyday"
"Ah, the one you were screaming in my ear about getting engaged?"
"That's the one"
Katie looked at her phone, reading a text she gotten earlier. Since it was Casey's birthday Margo and Tom insisted she needed time for herself and had taken Jacob for the day so they could go celebrate and take her mind off of things, especially with Chris still recovering.
"And?" Reid said adding the last touches to his sandwich, scooping out mayo putting it on the bread.
"Since I'm off nursing duties and I was planning on going with Chris…" She folded her arms. He was about to take a bit out of his luscious sandwich when he watches her intently as she slowly strode over to where he stood. "But he can't so…"
"So?" he looked at her as to wonder where she was going with this.
"You're coming with me"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Reeeeiiid" Katie pleaded and held unto his arm. "Reeeeeiiid"
"Come on Reid, I need a distraction"
"I thought I was the distraction" Reid said sounding hurt.
"You wouldn't leave your friend hanging when they needed you the most" Katie said with a pleading expression on her face.
"I cannot believe your pulling the 'feel sorry for me' card" Reid replied in somewhat disbelief. "Your huzzy is intact, isn't that enough and I'm going to be here"
"Well I can't stay here or I will go crazy thinking I'm not with Chris" She said sad look on her face. Holding the side of her she went back to the couch and sat down. He knew she was trying to keep sane, knowing his blonde friend all this time he knew she stressed out herself pretty easily.
"He said I needed to be around people, don't want me get so consume" Reid decided to put the sandwich down and went over to sit beside her on the couch.
"Doogie is right"
"He's my husband, how am I not going to be worried" She looks like she was on the verge of tears. Reid held her hand. "You have to be healthy if you're gonna take care of
that toddler and Doogie and you have a bun in the oven" he trying to reassure her and Katie laughed.
"I can't believe a week has gone by so fast." Both of them lie back into the couch and Katie rest against Reid's shoulder and he move and put his arm around her. Both of them sat there enjoying the silence for a minute.
"I know why you don't want to besides your anti –social behavior…Luke is going to be there…we don't have to though"
"Knowing how small this town is, I'm not surprise he's Luke's friend" He looked at her.
"I think it's only Luke going to be there if my sources are right Noah had to work"
Reid looked at suspiciously. "You planned this?"
"I asked Casey" She looked him innocently, "He said he didn't think Noah was going so…"
"Don't you get tired of rubbing your nose into other people's business?"
"Not if it's people I care about, no" She smiled at him.
"Katie, he and Mr. Mayor are like conjoined twins"
"They don't look too happy to me"
"Well, sounds about normal"
"Reid you can act all you want, I know under that grumpy exterior you still have feelings for Luke"
Reid didn't respond. He decided to ignore her comment. He cannot believe he was going to do this. He was feeling sympathetic along those lines he would admit it though. Reid rolled his eyes and throws a hand in the air. "Fine, we can go I hope you know your soul is forever indebted to me"
Katie kissed him on the cheek. "I'll buy you one of those sandwiches at Al's you like so much" She said. Reid thought about it for a second.
"You hold such a hard bargain" He said sarcastically and smiled at her.
He wasn't sure what he was going to get himself into but one thing for sure, he knew Luke was going to be there.
When they arrived at Metro the music was dominant. They were having something special at Metro. It was crowded than the usual. Casey and Alison went and sat down at a table at the back with Luke and Noah followed. They have been together almost three years now. They were engaged almost a year now, with there prior history they decided to take things slow.
"I was nice hearing from Maddie" Casey said loudly. The waiter comes over asking them for their orders and left.
Luke eyes were caught by the pair who entered the scene. He was wearing a suit as usually and grumpy look on his face with a perky Blonde lady clutching unto his arm dragging him further inside metro.
Noah followed his gaze and grabbed his hand. "What're looking at?" Seeing Katie and the doctor standing at the entrance.
"This was a bad idea" Reid said Katie looked over and saw Luke and Noah. He felt like an idiot, like a teenager seeing his crush or ex with someone else and just wanted to avoid. He was pissed at himself for feeling like this whenever he saw Luke. Seeing Luke alone was hard enough but seeing him with Noah was even harder to bear.
"Oops, sorry" Katie said with an apologetic face. "We can leave if you want, we don't have to stay"
Reid just looks at her for second. He wasn't going to let something so foolish to get the better of him and began to walk over to the table. Katie hugged the couple and wished Casey a happy birthday. They sat opposite of Luke and Noah with Casey to their right.
"Dr. Oliver" Noah nod his head and held Luke's hand. "Mr. Mayor" He responded then looked at the blond man beside Noah.
"Mr. Snyder" 'he calls me that again'
"Reid" Luke said did a small smile and then turn his attention to Katie.
"Hey Katie, how is Chris? Sorry we haven't seen him recently"
"It's okay, I know you guys are busy, Chris understands"
"Katie you didn't have to come, not that we don't want you to just we know with Chris" Allison added.
"It's okay he dismiss me from nursing duty, besides I need to relax and it's your birthday" She smiled.
"Casey and Allison you remember Dr. Oliver"
"Yea" Allison replied "We work at Memorial together"
"How observant" He whispered under his breath and Katie hit him in the side." Er…yep we do"
It was awkward at first even though the music was beating. Everyone was quiet until the waiter came back with their drinks.
"She gave me alcohol" Luke said sniffing his drink
"Are you crazy, you shouldn't be drinking" Noah moved away the glass away from him. Normally Luke would think it was Noah's concern but his self righteous perception leaves no room for mistakes.
"I know that Noah, I'm not twelve" Luke trying to hide his discontent. "The waiter got it wrong not me"
"You sure?"
"Why do you always do this?" They felt the eight pair of eyes staring at them. Obviously something more to this issue but they decided to dismiss the situation. Casey cleared his throat to change the subject.
"So how is work Noah? I haven't seen you or Luke for that matter"
"It's pretty good, work kept us busy but we couldn't miss your birthday and it's been awhile since we've seen you guys" Noah said.
"You see some of his work it's really good" Luke said kissing Noah hand. Reid felt like he wanted to throw up. After the next half and hour watching the pair goggled at each other looking all lovey dovey. They looked so uncomfortable all smiling and laughing. He didn't show his discontentment but he sure as hell was not smiling. Sitting around a table with a bunch of twenty-something year olds, not even know what they hell they were talking about at some lounge, only just reminded him of his age.
Reid excused himself and went to the bar to order a beer. "How are you holding up?" Katie asked concern in her voice. She was not easily fooled, especially with the likes of Reid. She knew he didn't let on how he truly feels. "You mean apart from the bi-polar couple over there? Just peachy" He was agitated. Hated how he felt hoping that the alcohol would intoxicate his brain faster.
"Reid, you got an admirer" Katie sipping on her drinks indicated with the eyes over her right shoulder, following the direction Reid noted the guy in the far corner. He wasn't bad actually. Dark brown hair and green eyes, he had style, white dress shirt, the top was slightly open with the sleeves rolled up at the elbow that was tight emphasizing his biceps. He was flashy but he didn't really have a type. His face looked familiar though, he couldn't put a finger on it, till Katie spoke. "Hey isn't that the new male nurse at Memorial"
"I suppose so" Reid said
"He's pretty hot"
"Be careful Mrs. Hughes" Reid joked.
"I already got my sexy man" Katie excuses herself to the ladies room as if an open opportunity. He watched as the guy came over to him.
Normally he wouldn't make any indication, or interest but he decided 'what the hell' being here was miserably enough, might as well find something to keep his mind occupied.
"Hey"
"Hey yourself"
"You're Dr. Oliver, the one everyone's scared of at Memorial" The guy said and flashes a smile.
"I guess I'm doing a hell of a job" Reid sips his beer.
"I always find it sexy when man can control power like that" Reid chuckled this was some irony if only he knew how one person had him tossing and turning like a little bitch.
"I'm just that good"
"Never thought I'd ever see you at a place like this"
"That makes the both of us"
"I'm Brandon" He said and moved in closer to Reid.
"Reid"
