I don't own Scorpion or any of its characters.
Chapter 5: Just A Little Bet
Happy walks into the garage while tears are streaming down her face. 'Okay just breathe. He isn't worth it.' Happy keeps repeating this phrase to herself but she knows it is all a lie. She decides to just sleep here for the night because she just can't get herself to go back home. She slides off her pants and takes off her shirt so that she's just in a tank top and boy shorts, anyway no one would be here until the morning because Walter had gone to help take care of Ralph tonight. She lays on the couch, covers herself with a blanket and eventually falls asleep.
She wakes up startled by the garage door opening and someone's voice. She looks up but as soon as she seem Toby she lays back down so he isn't able to see her.
"I know…look I'm sorry Kelly," he says.
Happy isn't able to stop her eyes from rolling 'well of course he's talking to her...just fantastic!'
"I promise we'll get together to talk this all through, I'm always here for you, you know that right?" Toby says from the door.
Thankfully there was only one dim light on so he couldn't see her yet.
"Okay, good. Talk to you soon Kelly," Toby said as he started walking.
Happy didn't have time to process the pain she had just felt, she lay quietly pretending to sleep as she Toby walking to his desk, she really didn't want to talk to him or have him see her eyes, they were bloodshot from crying.
"Happy," he whispered and she could feel him walking towards her.
'Stay still Happy, you don't want to talk to him.'
Unfortunately for her Toby knew her and he wasn't falling for the whole Sleeping Beauty act.
'She really thinks I'm going to believe she's actually asleep?' Toby thinks to himself.
It is so obvious to him that her breathing is all wrong, she's trying to hard to stay still.
"Well don't you just look adorable all sleep and cute," he says "I bet you wouldn't mind it if I just…"
He slowly makes his way to her lips and she smacks him hard on the chest, stands up and pushes him so hard he stumbles a bit, "You stay away from my lips, Doc because the next time I will hurt you!"
He eventually gains composure and leans against a pillar and stares at her with a smirk, "Love the new style, Hap."
She looks down, completely embarrassed she wraps herself up in the blanket and walks away without saying a word.
"Where ya going, I just got here!"
"Exactly," she makes her way up the stairs, "now stay away from me!"
She makes her way to the door that leads to the roof and opens it.
"Happy, you are going to freeze out there," he yells out to her.
"I can stand the cold. What I can't stand is you," she says as she angrily slams the door behind her.
Toby shakes his head wanting to go after her but knowing that she obviously needs space, she'd be back soon.
To pass the time he recalled how beautiful she looked with just her tank top and underwear, he was completely turned on by every inch of her. He stops as he recalled how red her eyes were, she had been crying and without a doubt it had to do with the incident with Kelly.
It had been almost an hour since Happy had gone to roof and he was growing increasingly worried about her. He decides to make some coffee and uses it as an excuse to go see her.
On the roof, Happy's teeth are chattering and she can't believe how long she had been up here. But there was no way she was going to be in the same room as the doc, she was afraid of how badly she would hurt him if she got her hands on him…but she was also afraid of how badly she craved him when he was so close to her.
'Ugh, no he's dead to you, remember,' she tries to drill the idea into her head but it can't find a home in there, where unfortunately the memories of Toby rested.
She hears the door open and slam shut and she knows it had to be him. She wasn't mentally ready to face him, she didn't want him to see how vulnerable he had made her and how much pain and jealously Kelly had made her feel.
"Get out!," she says flatly.
"I brought you coffee. Please just take it, I know you are probably freezing up here but you are too stubborn to come downstairs," he stands in front of her and places the coffee mug in front of her face.
She grabs it because her hands are freezing and takes a long sip.
"Your welcome," Toby says and pulls a seat next to her.
"You can leave now," she says looking off to the city as to not make eye contact with him, she doesn't want him to see her eyes.
"Come on, I promise I'll be quiet," he says and she's 100% sure he's making his puppy dog eyes even though she doesn't turn to see.
She scoffs at the idea of Toby being quiet. He's going to stay no matter what so she just stays silent and takes another sip of her coffee.
"I'll take that as a yes," he says.
She laughs and points at him, "Ha. I knew you couldn't keep silent if your life counted on it."
He looks at her with concern and she realizes that he can now see how red her eyes our.
His mouth opens as to speak and she turns around and closes her eyes shut knowing that he's going to ask why her eyes are red.
"I can keep quiet. Want to bet on it?"
She opens her eyes in surprise and looks over at him, "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, if you win I promise I will leave you alone for a week. I'll be quiet for as long as you'd like," he looks at her seriously.
She nods, "okay and if you win?"
"Its simple," he takes a long sip of his coffee.
"If its so simple than just say it already numbnuts,"she says loudly because she is very intrigued with his offer.
He leans in close to her and she freezes, "I want a nice big hug from you."
"That's all?" she manages a whisper.
"Yeah that's all," he pulls back and keeps looking at her.
"I know you can't be quiet for longer than a minute. You are always babbling about something. I want you to be quiet for 10 minutes," she says.
He looks at her sadly and touches his heart, "ouch, you really think I can't stay quiet for that long?"
"I know you can't," she smiles.
"Deal," he reaches out his hand and she grabs it but he pulls her in close to him ,so that they are only inches away from one another's face, "you underestimate how much I want that hug."
He winks at her and he gets comfy in his seat again.
"Time starts now," Happy starts the timer on her phone.
She is still a bit shaky from how close they just were and something about the way he said his last sentence made her feel unsure about this bet but she wasn't going to give up so easily.
