Thanks for all the messages and reviews, very sweet. Even the sarcastic one. Ha-ha. Seriously, all very much appreciated.
And thanks for the patience as it's taking me a while between this fanfic and my Rizzles one, looking after small children and working hard. So thank you for tolerance.
I am not grammatically brilliant so your comments about this issue are gratefully received.
Anyway, enough of this nonsense and back to the story. Hope you all enjoy x
Chapter 3
"Are you still here?" said Megan, entering her boss' office.
"It would appear neither one of us can stand to be away from this place" Kate replied, stifling a yawn as she began to put on her coat. "But now I'm finished so I am on my way home to enjoy a very long bubble bath and an all too short bottle of wine"
"Sounds delightful" choked Megan as she was daydreaming about the very naked chief, covered in bubbles. She mentally shook herself.
"And you Dr Hunt, what are your plans for the weekend?"
"No wine or long soak for me I'm afraid, I have Lacey this weekend while Todd is schmoozing clients in New York" replied the red-haired M.E. regretting remarking about Todd at all as she saw Kate's face change from warm and friendly to guarded and cold. "Sorry, forget I mentioned him, so yes I have Lacey. She's making me go to see some zombie fest at the movies tonight and then we're going clothes shopping tomorrow". The younger doctors' expression went back to warm again at the mention of zombies.
"That sounds like fun, I can't remember the last time I went clothes shopping, I usually buy online" Kate mused while accompanying Megan out of the office towards the elevator.
The ride down in the elevator afforded Megan the time to work through all of the highly tuned senses she was feeling being so close to her oh so sexy boss. Jeez Megan what a time to have your first girl crush. First her sense of smell was being warmly caressed by Dr Murphy's day old perfume, second her sense of touch was being attacked with sweat and the tingles stirring through her body, third her sense of hearing was being teased by Kate's gentle breath sounds, forth her sense of taste was being attacked by dehydration as her moisture converged elsewhere because of last but not least the sense of sight was being drawn like a magnet to the curves of Kate in her 'just the right amount of tight' lilac jersey dress. Drinking in her face in profile. The beautiful long blonde hair, worn in messy curls today. Her eyes, piercing blue laser beams with the ability to reduce men to mush and full, luscious, kissable lips. Perfectly enhanced with strawberry red lipstick.
"Hey, how would you like to join us on our shopping expedition tomorrow? I know Lacey would love to spend time with you and you have such impeccable taste….in clothes" Megan asked putting a full stop to her obvious appreciation of Kate.
"Really?" Kate choked back as she felt the atmosphere in the elevator lighten. "I would love to, thank you for asking me" she felt a warm flush on her cheeks as Megan continued to look at her, although not as intently as before.
"Well how about we pick you up at 10" Megan said unable to hide the smile at the thought of spending more time with the beautiful Dr Kate Murphy.
"Excellent, I'm looking forward to a girly day with you…and Lacey" said Kate smiling back as they exited the elevator in the car park. "Goodnight Dr Hunt" she said as she reached her state issue black svu. "Enjoy your zombie fest"
"Thank you, enjoy your booze and bubbles Dr Murphy" Megan shouted back entering her vintage e-type. This weekend was going to be very interesting indeed she thought as she left the parking garage and steered towards Todd's to pick up her daughter.
