Emily Owens M.D.

After the outbreak

Chapter TWO.

( Previously on Emily Owens M.D. )...

Will asked Emily " Are you hanging out with us tonight? I think Tyra just left for tonight." He looked uncomfortable. Emily could tell he didn't want to hang out with her still. Cassandra had this evil look on her face and said " Plus you don't want to be third wheel pits." Micah cleared his throat and said " Actually Emily didn't come here to hang out with you. She came here with me as a friend. We have a lot to discuss about a patient we have tomorrow." Emily glanced over to Micah and he just smiled the big beautiful smile at her. She looked back at Will smiled " Yeah we have a lot to discuss. See you guys later."

Micah lead Emily over to an empty table. Before they could say anything to each other the waitress came by and asked for their order. " Hi I'm Ashley I'm going to be your waitress for tonight. What can I get for you two?. " " Can we get two Heineken beers. Oh and two shots of johnny Vegas. Please." The waitress came back 10 minutes later. Micah took a sip of his beer and Emily couldn't help but stare at his lips. How they looked so full and soft. How she would like to kiss those lips. Emily shook her head. She needed to stop thinking about his lips. Even if they looked so delicious. It was inappropriate. Micah cleared his throat trying to get Emily's attention back. Clearly she's over thinking about something. " Lets take these shots already Owens! " He said with a laugh. Emily started laughing with him. "CHEERS! " they both said. " So what patient do we have to discuss about? " Emily said. " No patient to talk about. I just said that to get them off your back. Plus I could feel the tension between you guys. Whats with that anyways? " Micah said. " Cassandra is my high school nemesis. She loves to torture me. She still does at the hospital. She stole my pager already. And Will .. well you know what happened with that. He just doesn't want to be around me anymore thinks every time he ask me to do something for him I'm going to read into it." " Well are you? Going to read into everything he says?" Micah asked. " No! I get that he doesn't see me that way but it's not like I can just get over him in a day or two. It's going to take time. Right? " Micah just nodded.

Micah could feel the awkwardness building up between them so he decided to change things around. " Do you know how to play pool Owens? " Micah asked. " Sort of. I'm not the best though." Emily said with a huge smile. Micah just snickered thinking she's probably really good. They went over to the pool table. Stacking the balls together to get started. Micah decided to have some fun with this game. " Lets make this game fun Owens." Micah said to Emily. Emily looked right at him and swallowed hard. Thinking the worse thing. Micah notice and started to laugh. " Every time you miss a shot you need to take a shot! " Emily laughed." That's fine with me. I guess you should start ordering your shots now Dr. Barnes." He notice the little twinkle in her eyes when she said that. All Micah could do was just laugh. " Bring it Owens! " Micah shouted. After the second game they both had a very good buzz. They were about to go sit back down at the table when Cassandra and Will came up to them. " Hey can we play with you guys?" Cassandra asked. Micah always the gentlemen said " Yeah. But whoever loses has to pay for the next round of shots!" Will shook his hand and said " Deal." Emily was up first. You could tell she was feeling very uncomfortable. Cassandra went up to Emily and asked " Hey Emily it's getting kind of hot in here. Don't you think? " Emily just shook her head and made the shot. Emily had this huge smile on her face like she just won. " Don't get too excited Emily. We just got started." Will said. Laughing a little. Cassandra walked to the bar to get more drinks. Emily decided that was the best time to go the bathroom. Cassandra invited nurse Jessica to join them. When Emily came back she notice Jessica was taking her turn. Emily didn't say anything but she was kinda hurt. Like she just got rejected.

Jessica stared at Emily. " What's with horndog lurking around?" Jessica said. All eyes were on Emily. " I'm not lurking around.. I'm waiting for my turn. I was here playing with them." Emily said. Jessica rolled her eyes. " Well after were done with this game. Then you can play." Emily felt awkward standing there. So she looked at Micah and said " I'm just going to go to the bar for a while." Micah felt bad for her. He didn't understand why everyone was so mean to her. She's always so awkwardly nice. " Well wait a minute I'll just go with you Owens." Jessica, Cassandra and even Will told Micah to stay and finish the game. " Micah it's okay just stay and finish the game. I'll be okay. Plus you need to beat them." Emily said with a smile. As she sat at the bar she felt awkward being by herself. Suddenly Tyra walked in and walked right up to Emily. " EMILY! I can't believe you came out. This is my friend Rick from high school. He's a police officer now. He used to sell me weed." Tyra ended with a laugh. " Hi I'm Emily. I work with Tyra at the hospital. Its nice to meet you." " Nice to meet you too Emily. I'm Rick." When he smiled Emily thought she could get lost in it. " So anyways. Why are you here all by yourself Emily? You should of called me. " Tyra said. Emily felt awkward again. She knew Tyra wouldn't believe she came with Micah.

" I just wanted to get a few drinks. Maybe get some numbers. " Emily said awkwardly. " No you didn't .. You know that wouldn't happen here." Tyra said. " It could happen." Emily said very quietly. " You know Tyra I think she might be right.. I would give her my number." Rick said with a wink. That made Emily blush a little.

" Who would give who their number? " Said Micah. " Oh hi Dr. Barnes. Nice to see you." Said Tyra really fast with a weird look to Emily. " I would give my number to Emily over here if she wanted it." Said Rick. Micah looked right at me and back to him. " And who are you? How do you know Owens?" asked Micah. " I'm Tyra's friend Rick. I just met Emily just a few minutes ago. She was sitting her by herself tonight saying she was here for some drinks and numbers." Rick said with a cocky smile. Micah just laughed. " That's the funniest thing I've heard all night. She came here with me." Micah said between laughs. Emily felt awkward again. " Not like a date or anything just as coworkers." Emily said real fast. Tyra shrugged her shoulders and said " Lets get some tequila shots coming! " After three shots Emily could feel the alcohol taking over her body. She decided that was the best time to leave before she really embarrassed herself. She whispered in Tyra's ear " I'm going home now. I'm really tired. " Before Tyra said goodbye she told Emily " You need to explain about Micah tomorrow." with a wink. Rick asked if she needed a ride but Emily said " No I already called a taxi. Thanks though." Emily started walking out of the door when Micah notice she was leaving and ran after her. " Hey Owens where are you going?" Micah yelled. Emily turned around looked at Micah. " I'm going home. It's been a long night." Emily said. Micah looked a little disappointed. " You weren't even going to say goodbye to me? I would have been worried about you." Micah said. " You looked like you were having a really good time talking to your friends." Emily said. Micah felt a little bad for walking away but Tyra kept watching him like he was doing something bad. Plus Emily looked like she was enjoying herself.

" Well I was the one who invited you out so it's the right thing to make sure you get home safely." Micah said with a smile. That smile Emily thought. How she really wanted to kiss those lips of his. Emily stop! You're going to do something stupid. Just stop. Think about something else. " Well my taxi is here.. do you want to make sure I get in the house? " She said with a laugh. Half joking. " Yeah actually I do. I don't want you getting lost or anything." Micah said. They walked to the taxi in silence. Emily told the guy where she lived. " You only live down the street from me." Micah said with that big smile. Emily couldn't stop staring at his lips again. His lips look so soft. So gentle. Oh I just want to kiss him. Emily you can't! You're drunk. You will make a fool out of yourself. She thought to herself. Micah cleared his throat. " So that Rick guy seemed really interested in you. Did you give him your number?" Micah said while looking out the window. Emily laughed a little. " No I didn't give him my number. Tyra wouldn't allow it. She told me that he was her beard. Her dad doesn't know she's a les..." Emily smiled and turned her head. " I kind of figured she was a lesbian. The way she looks at Jessica. " Emily just burst out laughing. If only you knew. She thought to herself. " Yeah her dad doesn't know. She doesn't want people gossiping about it." " Looks like we are here." Micah said. They both get out of the car. Micah pays for the taxi ride. They walk up to Emily's apartment. Talking about the STD outbreak at the school. How all the girls decided to beat the boy up. They get to the door. Micah said " You still never did answer my question." Emily knew right away what he was talking about. " Yes. I did wait until I was 20 yrs. old before I lost my virginity. I wanted to wait for the right person. Plus I never really had the opportunity to lose it. I was kind of well I apparently I still am a loser." Emily said really fast.

Micah just smiled at her. Thinking how she doesn't realize how beautiful she really is. She's such a bright person and has a smile that can light up a room. Emily finally looks at Micah after saying the most embarrassing thing. He's smiling at me? He probably thinks I'm the biggest loser. Look at the smile though. It's so perfect. His soft big bottom lip that I just want to kiss. Emily! NO! NO! NO! You can't ever kiss him. Stop thinking about it. Before you do something stupid. " Do you want to come in for some coffee maybe eat something?" Emily asked. Micah nodded. " Yes that would be great.. I'm starving actually." They go inside. Emily goes to the kitchen while Micah looks around at the pictures. " You were really close to Will weren't you? " Micah said with a slight frown. " Yeah we were best friends since med school. We always had each others back." Emily said while looking in the fridge. " Would you like a grilled cheese sandwich with chicken noodle soup? " Emily asked. " Yeah that sounds perfect! " Micah said with a smile. 15 minutes later the food was done. They ate in silence on the couch watching tv. A few minutes later a phone was ringing. Emily figured it was Micah's cause no one ever called Emily. " Are you going to answer that? " Micah asked. " I didn't realize it was mine." Emily grabbed her phone. Will was calling her? but why? " Hello..Yeah it's Emily. I'm home safe. I'm fine. I'm going to bed now Will. Goodnight." Emily looked at Micah. " That was really weird." Emily said. " He still cares for you.. He just doesn't know how to mend things." Micah explained. " Well thanks for explaining that to me Dr. Barnes I would of never guessed." She said with a huge smile. " Anytime Dr. Owens. Anytime."

Micah had that sexy smile on his face again. Emily couldn't stop staring at his lips. She just wonder how they would feel against hers. She looked up to see him staring at her. " What are you thinking?" Micah said. Emily just blushed. " You have a pretty smile that's all" Emily said. Micah couldn't resist it anymore. He went for it. Her lips were softer than he imagined. They tasted sweet like strawberries. The smell of her hair smelled like summer breeze which made the kiss even more enchanting. He felt like he couldn't get enough. Emily couldn't believe what was happening. She definitely wasn't disappointed though. His lips were soft and gently but a bit of a need. She could taste the cranberry from the shots from earlier. She always felt a spark between them but didn't realize they were actually really fireworks. She never felt so happy. Next thing she knew she was taking his shirt off. She could tell he needed her just as much as she needed him at that very moment. He took her shirt off and paused. " You're so beautiful." Was all he could say. The separation was unbearable. Their mouths had to be on each other. A loud noise interrupted them. It was Micah's phone. It was the hospital. " Sorry it's the hospital. It could be about my mother." Micah said. " Yeah go answer it" Emily said with a big smile. " Dr. Barnes phone. Oh hey Kelly. " All the blood came rushing to Emily's head. She felt sick. What did she get herself into? She messed up the work boss thing. She was thinking in over drive. Micah came back with his shirt on. " Well that was intense make out session" Micah said. Emily grabbed her shirt and put it on. " Owens are you okay? You don't look so good." Emily looked at him. " I'm actually feeling like crap I think I'm going to go to bed." Emily said with a slight smile. " Do you want me to stay to make sure you're okay? Micah asked really concerned about her. " No. I'm going to be fine. I just need to rest. Thanks though." With that Micah kissed her cheek and left.

Micah felt really bad. He didn't mean for all that to happen. It just happened. He didn't regret any of it. He always felt like there was something between them. Now he knows there really is. What can he do about it though. He was a resident and she was his intern. It's looked down upon. First thing he knew he had to end things with Dr. Kelly. It wasn't fair to her to keep dragging her along. Emily couldn't believe she just made out with Micah and all things Dr. Kelly pretty much stopped them from doing something they would regret. Well more like he would regret. Right? He was the one who stopped but that wasn't really his fault was it? He did kiss me first. Maybe I'm just over thinking everything. If he text me in the morning I will know he didn't regret any of it. If he doesn't text me back I know not to ever talk about it again. Not even with Tyra. Oh man I need sleep.
