Jasmine's Day Off-Chapter 47

Mitch: "… okay. Dad… if you are in trouble just scream and I'll be right up here with Paula okay? Neuro never hurts anyone when Paula is around. Well maybe a few bruises, but no broken bones. Umm, don't play too rough with him Neuro."

Neurologist: "He'll be perfectly fine with me. You can both leave and he'll be perfectly safe."

Paula: "Come on Mitch, let's go play outside. I trust momma will do what's right." *starts running as fast as she can down the stairs* "Last one down has to buy ice cream!"

Mitch: *looks back to the neurologist and his father with uncertainty; brushes off those doubtful feelings, closes the door and starts running down the stairs* "Get ready to buy me a triple scoop ice cream cone!"

Neurologist: "We are all alone now and no one will interrupt us. You ready for what's next?"

Doctor: "Not like I have a choice… is there any way you can actually be gentle this time?"

Neurologist: "Sure, as long as you don't struggle against me or try to escape. Not like you have anywhere to run anyways."

Doctor: *turns his head away; annoyed* "Let's just get this painful ordeal over with already."

Neurologist: "Yeah, how about you be a good boy and walk over to the bed and lay there for me. So how was that dream you had the other day?"

Doctor: "I realized it wasn't a dream when Augustus was the one that had me pinned against the wall while threatening me and you were the one he was attacking."

Neurologist: "How was it fighting side by side with me?"

Doctor: "It was… truly amazing… we actually make a good team together."

Neurologist: "There is so much more we could do together and it doesn't have to be us fighting each other… want to try a few of them with me?"

Doctor: "How will I know that you won't turn on me and hurt me like you have before? How will I know that you won't hurt me just like you hurt everyone around you?"

Neurologist: "You don't. All you can do is trust that I love you enough to try and make this work… It's a 2 way street though and we can only make it happen if we work together… maybe this will convince you that I'm not lying…" *nervously embraces the doctor and kisses him on the lips; releases him from the embrace and turns away* "I love you… I… I won't stop you… if you want to leave… then you can leave… it'd be… nice if you… stayed though."

Doctor: *gets up and walks towards the door*

Neurologist: *turns away, walks to the bed, and lies down facing away from the doctor; tears start forming in her eyes* "So I guess that's it, it's done."

Doctor: "Yep, looks like there is nothing left to be said." *locks the door and turns around* "So, what's the plan for our first day together, girlfriend?" *smiles and walks towards the center of the room*

Neurologist: *gets up and looks at him completely dumbfounded* "What?"

Doctor: "Well, you seem to be sincere right now… first time in years that I've heard anything sincere come out of you since you had Paula… and well, I umm… as weird as it seems I… actually still have feelings for you so…"

Neurologist: *gets up and walks towards him*

Doctor: *nervously starts backing away* "Uhh, if you don't want me to be your boyfriend that is perfectly fine. You don't have to…" *backs into the door* "Well, I guess this is it after all… I had a good enough life… could have been better though." *closes his eyes and prepares to feel her wrath… he feels something else instead something softer; currently being kissed by the hottest girl in the hospital*

Neurologist: "So do you still have anything to bitch about?"

Doctor: "What makes you think that I would complain about getting a kiss from a girl that I love?"

Neurologist: "Past experiences… so what's next?"

Doctor: "First we will have to get rid of the spies."

Neurologist: *sneaks over to the door, hits it, then hears some startled screams* "Run while you still can!" *unlocks the door, opens it, and sees the surgeon and the radiologist running away* "I'll teach them a lesson later, but for now…" *closes door and locks it* "We have this room all to ourselves… let's make good use of it." *walks over to the bed and sits on it; pats a spot next to her* "Come and sit with me… I'll try to hold back my urge to bite you this time."

Doctor: *walks over to the neurologist and sits next to her* "So… what's next?"
