Chapter 6: Don't Gamble With Dr. Tobias Curtis
"Man, an entire week of you not bothering me, now I'm looking forward to that," she smiles and he just nods.
"I really hate your hat," she says even though she is lying through her teeth, "you are trying to be so suave with it aren't you?"
She is trying to get him to talk but he just shrugs his shoulders and takes a sip of his coffee.
5 minutes had already past, which was surprising to her and she kept trying to get under his skin by poking at his ego, hoping that it would make him speak but he was silent.
9 minutes and she had to think of something if not she would lose this bet.
"I wonder what your girlfriend thinks about your hat," she says and is sure that he will have to say something.
Happy had been trying to provoke him and he had been able to keep things together but the comment about his "girlfriend," threw him off guard.
He looks at her with wide-eyes and shakes his head.
"So she does like it?" she presses on.
He wants so badly to scream that she has this whole Kelly situation wrong but when he sees that the time is almost off he just shakes his head and keeps quiet.
Happy's phone goes off and he gets up and jumps around, "Ha! I beat you!"
"Oh shut-up idiot!" Happy says with anger.
"Come on Hap, you should know better than to gamble with me," he smiles at her "Now come on you owe me something."
He opens his arms and waves her over and she narrows her eyes at him as she stands up and makes her way over to him, "Hey remember that I said a big hug. I don't want a half-ass hug."
"I hate you," she mumbles as she hugs him tightly.
"No you don't," he smiles at how great she feels in his arms.
He wants to keep her this close forever, especially right now that her body is cold from being up on the roof in the middle of the night.
"Okay. Hug over," she tries to pull away but he holds her tighter, "Toby let go."
"Never," he mumbles sweetly into her hair and backs up slightly to look at her in the eyes, "Now that I can talk. I'd like to help you get your facts straight. First, I know you love my hat, in fact not to sound cocky but I'm sure it turns you on."
She breaks out laughing, "you are crazy, Doc."
He places a finger on her lips to which she responds by smacking it.
"Ouch," he yelps and then smiles down at her, "Lastly, I don't have a girlfriend. So, don't worry Hap I'm still on the market, ready for you to take me off of it."
She rolls her eyes, "Stop lying Toby."
"I'm not lying," he shakes his head furiously.
"Really?!" she pushes him off her and in the process she loses her blanket "Ugh, I hate you Toby. Why do you lie? I saw her in your clothes and you were talking on the phone with her, you are really going to stand there and lie to me."
She doesn't even bothering picking up the blanket as she storms off to the door.
He catches up to her quickly, "Happy, stop!" he grabs her and turns her to face him and feels his heart break as he sees her crying, "Please don't cry. Let me explain."
"Let go of me Toby," she tries to free herself from his grasp but he refuses as he has her pinned against the door.
"Happy, you call me a liar but you are lying to yourself. You pretend that seeing me with Kelly doesn't affect you but I can tell you have been crying since I got here," he reaches to wipe her tears, "you can't deny what you feel for me."
She's silent and keeps looking down.
Toby gently grabs her chin and lifts her face up to him, "you can't deny this need to be near each other or that you shiver every time we touch. You can't deny what we have. If not you would be liar too, Happy."
She is shivering under his touch and at the proximity of their faces.
Why does she want to kiss him so badly, she hates liars but something keeps pulling her to him.
She tries her hardest to fight the urges that are building up in her but looking at his eyes and his lips are too much.
She pulls him down to her level by the collar of his jacket and kisseshim passionately like the first time they ever kissed.
He is taken aback just like the first time but kisses her back, pushing her against the door and pressing his body against hers.
They furiously fight for dominance and she knocks off his hat and runs her fingers through his hair. The build up of want and need had become too much for both of them. She is lost in this kiss, all she can feel are his lips and his fingertips making their way over her bare arms, making every inch of her skin shiver.
Soon out of breath, he kisses his way down to her neck and she is in complete bliss as she forgets about everything.
"I love you," he mumbles as he kisses her skin.
The sound of his voice causes her to open her eyes, she is now imagining him saying the same thing to Kelly and kissing her the same he is doing to her now.
She pushes him away, "No! Stop! I can't believe I did that and let you keep going. Toby you are with someone else."
He pulls her back close to him, "Happy, I'm not-"
Toby is cut off mid-sentence when the door to the roof opens and they are pushed closer together.
Walter stands there with his arms crossed and looks at both of them up and down. He shakes his head unable to come up with any words.
Happy feels so embarrassed, first she goes on and kisses Toby even though she fully knows that he is dating someone else and then here's Walter looking at her practically naked.
Unable to stand the embarrassment she pushes Toby away and runs down the stairs.
Toby runs down the stairs but when he makes it back inside the garage Walter stops him, "Toby, she needs her space."
Toby shakes his head, "I have to talk to her Walter. I can't leave things this way, she needs to know the truth."
"The truth about you dating Kelly again?" Walter looks directly at him.
"Who told you that?"
"I overheard Paige and Happy talking about it," Walter explains.
"Geez, what is up with this whole Kelly thing," Toby runs his hands across his face, completely frustrated that everyone has this whole situation wrong.
"Well, you apparently like Happy so much but yet Kelly comes back into your life and suddenly Happy isn't important anymore. I honestly don't care what you do with your love life but you hurt Happy and that, I do care about," Walter looks at him so intensely that Toby feels like he's killing him with his eyes.
"Okay calm down Walt," Toby puts his hands up in defense "Listen to me carefully, I am not dating Kelly and I don't like Happy."
Walter looks angrier and Toby continues, "I love her."
Walter calms down a bit but still keeps a stern stare on Toby, "Then why are you talking to Kelly again?"
"Long story short, she's dating a guy who she's been having some issues with and she wanted to see if I could help her out," Toby tries to explain without giving too much information but Walter isn't buying it.
"You wouldn't just help her out, not with the way she just left you. There's more to this," Walter squints his eyes as he tries to figure it out.
Toby sighs, "Walter she's my patient, I can't just give you all her information."
"Fine, don't tell me but don't expect anything from Happy but a very cold shoulder," Walter walks away and sits on the couch with his laptop.
Toby is stressed and confused, he doesn't know how long he can keep Kelly's secret for. As he looks around the garage he doesn't see Happy, she must have left already. If he wants Happy in his life, he's going to have to open up to her if not he risks losing her forever.
Toby decides that he's going to tell Happy, so he grabs his keys from his desk and as he checks the time he realizes he has a billion missed calls. Some of the calls are from Kelly from over an hour ago and the others are from a number he doesn't recognize.
He tries to call Kelly but it keeps going to voicemail. He listens to a voicemail from the number he doesn't know and immediately dials back as he hears that it is from a hospital.
"Uhh, I got a call from this number maybe 15 minutes ago," Toby says.
"What's your name?"
"Dr. Tobias Curtis. Someone left me a voicemail but all I caught was the nurse's name because the background noise was really loud. I believe her name is nurse Rachel," Toby is talking louder now and Walter walks over to him.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know they are trying to get the nurse who tried calling me," Toby looks anxious now as he paces the room and places the call on speaker so Walter can hear.
"Hi, Dr. Curtis. This Rachel from the ER, I called you earlier because you are the emergency contact of a…," she pauses as sounds of her going through paper take over.
Toby and Walter look at each other as they hear the nurse clear her throat, "oh here we go, of a Kelly Mitchell."
Toby's heart is pounding now, "What happened to her? Is she okay?"
"Yes, she's doing fine now. Looks like someone hurt her pretty bad, sir. She will need stitches, she has a dislocated shoulder, and some cuts and bruised but she will be fine," the nurse pauses again, "she's here in the ER, if you could come and be with her. We will be moving her to a room once she's all patched up, so we can monitor her over night."
Toby takes a deep breath as he takes all the information in, "I'll be there soon."
Toby hangs up and feels like his heart is pounding louder and he turns to leave but Walter stops him.
"This has to do with what you couldn't tell me earlier, right?" Walter asks.
Toby nods and sighs loudly, "She has an abusive boyfriend. Things had been going great with him for a while, from what she told me when she came to visit me. She even seemed happy and confident about the relationship, so she asked me to have dinner with her so I could meet her boyfriend but some things happened with Happy and I told her I wouldn't be able to go. I know something had happened because when she called me earlier she seemed a bit anxious but I stupidly ignored it because I had so much going on in my head," he takes a deep breath and exhales, "I should have done something."
Toby looks down because he feels like he's going to lose it very soon.
"I understand but feeling guilty doesn't solve anything. I'll go with you to the hospital," Walter says as he starts walking but stops when Toby doesn't follow.
"Let's go Toby," Walter calls out to him.
Toby looks at him confused, "you aren't mad at me anymore?"
"It doesn't matter anymore," Walter says firmly, "We have more pressing matters right now, don't you think?"
Toby nods and they leave the garage.
Inside the garage, Happy steps out from where she had ducked down to avoid having to deal with Toby when she heard him coming down the stairs. She stands there trying to take in everything she had just over heard but it is too much for her, so after a half an hour of not finding a proper solution she gives and picks up her phone and calls the one person who can give her some advice. Paige.
