Alex opened the door to the residents lounge and let out a sigh of relief, "Finally! Here he is! She's all yours, Avery", he said, pushing April inside.

"Happy now?" April entered the room, "I told you he was going to be here, you could have just dropped me off at the entrance!"
"Yeah. And let you walk around the hospital like this, sure! Excellent idea!"
"Oh come on! I'm not that drunk!", she giggled loudly gaining an annoyed look from Alex.
"Can one of you explain to me what the hell is going on, please?" Jackson asked after witnessing Alex and April's banter in silence.
"Kepner had a little too much to drink at Joe's tonight and God, is she even more annoying when she's drunk! I was going to drive her home but no.I have to go and see Jackson at the hospital" Alex said, mimicking April's voice, rolling his eyes annoyed when he heard April's laugh. "See?" he continued "She doesn't even understand I'm making fun of her! Good luck dude, I'm done! See you tomorrow". As soon as he walked out of the door, April burst out laughing even more. Jackson raised his eyebrows, questioning her silently. "He is so funny when he's pissed." April said, sitting down on the grey couch next to Jackson, relaxing against the pillow. Jackson smirked, "you aren't that drunk, are you? You just wanted to cause Karev some trouble".
April laughed, nodding: "I only had a couple of drinks. Maybe I am a little more giggly than usual but that's it. It was so much fun to annoy him and see him worried though. Guess he is a good guy after all!" "Evil" Jackson smiled, taking a sip of his coke. "I like it! How much did you tease him?"
April smiled, taking a sip from Jackson's coke herself: "A lot."
"Damn it! And I was stuck here working, missing out on all the fun! You still have to tell me why you wanted to see me by the way. Wanted me to enjoy the show, huh?" He said, amused.
"Of course. That is one of the reasons." She smiled.
"And the others are?"
April stood up and started to walk across the room as she'd always do when one of her rambles were about to start. "Well, you said it was quiet here and so I thought you could...well, there was this couple at Joe's, you know?"
Divagations, of course. Jackson thought. April's rambles were always full of crazy divagations before they started to make sense.
"They were in their early 20s and they made out the entire time we were there."
"Ok" Jackson said, confused. "And this is one of the reasons you're here because..."
"Because I realized I've never made out with a guy for nearly that long! I don't even remember the last time I kissed a guy.."
"And?"
"And so I thought..I mean..I was worrying about lingerie when I don't even know if I know how to kiss!"
Jackson laughed, still not sure about where her ramble was going, or if it was going anywhere at all. "It's not like you forget how to kiss April."
"What if I did though?! Or what if I always kissed badly and that's why I've been single for my whole freaking life, huh?!"
"Well, I highly doubt it." Jackson smiled and added: "but even if it's true - and it isn't - I still don't see why you're here in the middle of the night on your day off instead of being home sleeping in your bed."
"Because you're here! And you can tell me!"
"I can tell you what, exactly?"
"How to kiss a guy!"
Jackson laughed once again and April rolled her eyes, "is this how it will always be? You laughing when I ask you something? We had a plan,Mr sexpert, remember?!"
Jackson took her hand and made her sit next to him, "I do remember", he smiled, reassuring her: "and I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you...It's just..how can I tell you how to kiss? It depends on the guy..there's not a rule!"
"Oh come on! If I could go back in time, I would very much tell John Stewart that he doesn't need to lick all over my face to french kiss me. No-face-licking is very much a rule! And I'm sure you know more."
"Ewww, that John Stewart didn't know the basics though." Jackson said, making her smile, "you do know them, you just said it yourself. So, trust me, you don't need any tips April! You just have to relax and it will come naturally. I'm pretty sure that you're already a good kisser."
April snorted: "you can't know that! Just because I know rule number 1 it doesn't mean I know how to drive a guy crazy... that girl at Joe's, she was driving her guy crazy! Trust me! By kissing him only." She sighed.
Jackson was thoughtful for a moment, then he looked at her and asked: "do you wanna try?"
April looked at him surprised: "try what?"
"Look, you're not going to be satisfied with my answers tonight, I know it. So..kiss me. I promise I'll tell you honestly if you're good or not. And if you're not, I'll tell you how you could improve." He smiled.
April blushed, considering the idea for a moment, "are you serious?"
"Yeah, it's not a big deal. It'll just be a.."trial-kiss."
April laughed and Jackson with her. He always managed to make her laugh and relax. She felt safe with Jackson and she knew she could trust him. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea, she thought. It's not like she could ask Max or any future possible boyfriends about it. What kind of dork asks their partner if they can kiss? This was her only chance to know the truth after all.
"Ok." She said then.
Jackson raised his eyebrows in surprise, "really?"
April hit him lightly on his shoulder, "just shut up! Or I'll change my mind!"
He smiled, crossing his arms, "Ok ok...I'm ready when you are."
April smiled, "you could help me out a little though."
Jackson smirked, finding her pretty adorable. He took her hand in his, bringing it around his neck while putting his other one around her waist..slowly bringing April closer to him. "This is a good start, I'd say", he smiled, his voice low and sweet. April could feel his breath on her forehead, and she instinctively brushed her fingers on his cheek, feeling the soft tingle of his scruff against her skin. She looked up to meet his gaze and she couldn't help but gulp. She would have lied if she said she never noticed how handsome he was, but now, being so close, she could see the light shade of green in his eyes and the freckles around his nose and just how soft and inviting his lips were. She bit her lip and tenderly brushed her nose against his. She heard him moan softly, and when she looked up he had his eyes closed. "This is areally good start", he whispered, his voice husky. "I haven't even kissed you yet" she said, their lips only a few inches apart. "What are you waiting for?", he asked, almost imperceptibly. She closed the distance between them brushing her lips tentatively against his, one hand in his short hair and the other one on his face, her thumb almost touching his lips. She felt the grip on her waist tightening as she slowly captured his bottom lip, tasting it with the tip of her tongue and then biting it softly. Jackson sighed loudly, responding to her kiss now. He gently forced her lips open and when their tongues met, a moan escaped April's lips, urging him to kiss her deeper. April felt a shiver down her spine and her heart was beating so fast she reluctantly pulled away. Their foreheads were still touching and she noticed Jackson was breathing heavily too. She searched for his eyes, her hands still on his face. "So uh.. bad or good?", she asked, blushing. Jackson's eyes seemed darker than normal. "That was really great. That was really…You were great", he said in a whisper. April smiled, blushing even more but was disappointed when he pulled away a little bit more. He looked almost embarrassed and, following his movements, April finally noticed he was trying to hide his excitement with a pillow.
"Oh..", she said, "I..uh..I'm sorry".
"Don't be. You shouldn't be sorry for turning me on." Jackson's voice was still husky and his expression so full of lust that April couldn't stop herself. She sat on his lap, straddling him and kissing him passionately.

She had never felt anything like this, the adrenaline was running through her veins and when she heard Jackson calling her name and she felt his hands on her face, urging her to look at him, she found it almost painful to pull away from his lips.
"We..uh..April..this is.."
"Should I stop?", she asked breathlessly, "If you want me to stop, just say so, and I'll stop." She bit down on her bottom lip, watching him, waiting for his reply. She could tell he was torn, his eyes running from her eyes to her lips to her eyes again.
"Fuck it.." He said, in the end, grabbing her waist and pulling her even closer, capturing her swollen lip and nibbling it gently. April gasped, passionately responding to his kiss, searching for his tongue. She never thought kissing someone could be so mind-blowing, but she really couldn't think straight anymore when she felt his hardness against her. She instinctively started to move over him, grinding on him while kissing him harder. "God April", he moaned, letting go of her lips and brushing his own over her neck. "Talk about driving a guy crazy, huh?", he whispered in her ear, biting her lobe and sucking it carefully. He felt April smile and kiss his collarbone before locking her eyes with his. "Is it working?", she asked, touching his lips with her thumb. "What do you think?", he said, his hands on her ass, pulling her closer, pressing his hips up against her to make sure she felt how much he wanted her. April gasped and moaned, his sudden roughness and the desire she could read in his eyes made her feel confident enough to slip her hands under his shirt, drawing random patterns on his stomach while kissing him once again, his taste starting to become both familiar and addicting. Jackson's hands were roaming desperately over her thighs and when he felt her hand brushing his erection lightly he grabbed her ass instinctively, moaning. April moved her hand tentatively over the thin fabric of his scrub pants, her mind blown with sensations she never even imagined she could feel before.
"Fuck.", she heard him groan and she felt his hand over hers, guiding her gently up and down his length. She kissed his cheek, reaching his ear, "yes Jackson, please. I don't know what I'm doing, teach me", she whispered.
She felt his hand moving faster for a moment and suddenly the shrill sound of his pager brought them back to reality. He let go of her hand and looked at her. For the first time she couldn't read his expression, he looked confused. Thoughtful.
"I think you have to answer that." April tried, tentatively.
"Yeah.." He said, helping her off of his lap and reaching the table. "Shit! The nurse is looking for me, one of the post-ops had a complication. I have to go."
April stood up, her hair was a mess and her lips swollen from the kisses. Jackson closed his eyes, his expression almost painful. "I..uh.. I need a moment…", he said.
"Oh..oh, sure." April said, suddenly realizing what he meant. "I guess I'll go home if you don't need any help..", she said. "With the patient, I mean!" She added, blushing.
"No, no..I-"
The door suddenly opened, "doctor Avery, you need to come now please! Mrs Bishop is crashing" the nurse said.
"Yes, of course! I'm coming." Jackson said, rushing out of the room, briefly turning around to ask April, "are you ok to go home alone?"
"Yes! Yes. Don't worry about me Jackson..just go.." She said. "Can we talk tomorrow?" She added, but he was already behind the corner.
