Please read and review!

Ash unlocked his door. 'Ladies first' he winked.

'Why thankyou Dr Ashford' Rita joked

'My pleasure staff nurse Freeman' Ash laughed. Rita had definitely brightened up from her eventful day. 'So do you want a drink?'

'Yeah, double vodka and coke please' Rita chuckled 'just kidding, i'll have a tea 2 sugars, lets test how good you are at making a brew!'

Whilst Ash was making the tea Rita decided to have a nosey around, looking at his pictures with his daughter and him on holidays. She noticed a little letter with her name on it. Was this a coincidence? Did he want her to find it? She opened it and it read:

Rita,

I've been thinking about our friendship lately and i think i kinda like you. These feelings have grown for you recently and i just can't hold them in for much have such a good connection and i feel i can trust you with anything. I don't think i've felt like this in a long time and i hope you feel the same. My daughter has had me running around her for the last few months so i've ignored what was also important to me. You. Your laugh, your smile, your hair, everything about you is perfect. I don't care what happened last week because past is past and i would've done the same if i was in your shoes.

I love you Rita Freeman

Ash x

She was so shocked but had to pretend she hadn't read anything.

'Rita, i'm coming with your tea and a little surprise!' Ash shouted.

What was he gonna do? Propose? Admit his feelings? Tons of ideas where rushing through Rita's head. 'Ah biscuits!' She mumbled as Ash returned.

'What?' Ash asked as he only heard a noise not what she said.

'I said ah biscuits for the surprise haha' Rita laughed trying to hide the real reason she said it.

'I hope you like digestives, if not i have some custard creams in!' Ash grinned.

'I love digestives! Ey, you was a proper hulk back in the days' Rita laughed trying to avoid how she felt.

'Rita, what's the matter?' Ash suspected something was wrong and decided to confront her about it.

'Did you really just ask that? I want to kill myself, i have nobody, i've lost all my friends, i didn't get the promotion, dare i go on?' Rita sighed.

'Rita, you shouldn't want to kill yourself you are the most beautiful, amazing,funny woman i've ever met! You didn't get the promotion? Tess has frozen it because none of the other candidates where deemed suitable for the job! And i bet Tess decided to freeze it because she knows you're the best she just knows that what happened recently would cause fury and outrage throughout the ED but when everything has calmed down for a while, she will most certainly pick you!' Ash promisingly spoke.

'Ash, i honestly don't know what to do without you, i'm speechless!' Rita exclaimed.

'Right, I have a king-size bed in the spare room, but only special people who are my favourites can sleep there, so congratulations!' Ash thought he was hilarious as you saw Rita's face go from happy to down to happy.

'Really? I might live here! i only have a double bed at my house!' Rita ridiculed.

'You can for me, everyday, ha, people would almost think we was together!' Ash winked.

'Let's see what the future holds!' Rita said pretending she was joking but really she knew it's what Ash and maybe even her wanted.

'So, shall we order a pizza and watch a film?' Ash asked.

'Yeah, why not, it's been ages since i watched a film with a bestie!'

Their pizza arrived within 20 minutes and their film had started. They was cuddled up together on the sofa when..

'I hate this part!' Rita shouted.

'Aw don't be such a big softy, it's a good job you've got me!' Ash snickered.

Then they had an eye contact for at least 10 second when ash started to stroke his hand through Rita's hair, the other hand down her face and he leaned in. They kissed. The feeling was mutual.

'So are you still sleeping in the spare room?'

'For tonight yeah, but tomorrow, if i'm invited i might reconsider' Rita replied instantly.

Ash understood. She must've felt vulnerable with everything that has occurred, but one thing for sure, their kiss was not because she was upset, it was because she felt the same way as he did towards her.

Please R&R! :)
