Chapter Eighteen: The Present
Dealing with patients was the last thing Remy had on her mind when she returned to the office. All she wanted to do was drive briskly to Cameron's place, and tear the secrets out of her. She watched the clock as the seconds passed by. Diagnostics was very much a waiting game, waiting for a new symptom, an old one, a new diagnosis, test results, emergencies, ideas. It was a never ending process. When one patient left there would be another. Her life seemed dully mediocre at this point in time, and Remy tried hard to banish the thoughts from her mind. She failed dismally.
Cameron flitted around her place slightly jumpy for no reason in particular. She had the afternoon off, and she was worried about whether or not Remy had received the note on the roof. Well, she would know soon enough. Checking the clock, Cameron realised she needed to leave the house to run an errand.. she grabbed her wallet, a towel, some newspaper and a cardboard box, and headed out to her car. The drive seemed quicker than she thought, and before she knew it, the blond doctor was carrying the lined box around the stores with her.
Finally managing to distract her thoughts, Remy decided she may aswell head out. There had been no news for the past hour and a half, and they weren't expecting anything major to happen. She told her workmates she had an emergency, and they all gave a brief goodbye to the mysterious Thirteen.
"Cam? Are you home...?" Remy let herself in, she already had her own key.
"I might be.." A distant call from the living room. Remy headed in slowly, wary of the detached reply.
"Is everything okay?" She poked her head around the corner to find Allison with two glasses of chanpagne set at the table.
"What's all this...?" Remy leaned in for a kiss as Allison thought through her reply.
"A suprise."
"I got that from your note. Very tactful by the way..."
"Thought You'd appreciate it." Cameron gave a playful wink before handing out the champagne. "I have something I want tot alk to you about." Remy didn't like the start to this conversation.
"Sure, what's up?" She narrowed her brow quizzically.
"I got you a present. Or... Us."
"Present?"
"Come with me." Remy followed eagerly. She liked the idea of a present, but what could Allison have hidden up her sleeve?
"In the box." Her tone was smooth and soft, Allison was trying desperately to hide her excitement, and she was doing a very good job. Remy headed over to a white cardboard box in the middle of the kitchen, on the counter. She lent close, and reached out to touch it. As she did this, the box shook, causing her to jump slightly, and withdraw her hand. Her eyes widened when she realised what was going on.. A wet nose poked out of an air hole, begging to be let free.
"Oh my god, Allison!" Remy pulled open the top of the box and reached in. A tear formed in the corner of her eye as she witnessed the most beautiful sight in the world. Her hands met the short soft fur of a Jack Russel puppy, eyes glowing with love. She pulled it close to her chest as the tears fell. Once she had calmed down, she placed the puppy in the box and launched herself at Allison.
"I can't believe this.. He's amazing!"
"Remy.. I bought him for a reason. He's not just for you, he's for us. He is our puppy, we are his parents. And he's going to need a lot of love, and attention... So... I want you to move in with me." Allison kissed her cheek softly once she finished her sentence. Remy's eyes were wide, solid, shocked.
"I... I don't know what to say."
"Just.. say yes. I love you. Give it a shot.. But you don't have to answer now.. I have something else in mind..."
"Oh really..?" The brunette raised a flirtatious eyebrow. Allison stepped forward seductively, and ran her finger from her girlfriend's cheek, right down to her hip, and slipped a hand through her belt loop. Remy felt a tug at her waist, and gave in to it willingly, as soon as she realised it was pulling towards the bedroom.
Let me know what you think...? And I need some idea's for the Name of the Present...
