Eli Lloyd hasn’t been okay recently.

He was tipsy, all the time, and drunk most nights. He didn’t really know why. It’s not as if he had a real connection to Miranda. It was all physical.

But watching her from far away, watching her with patients, watching her from the gallery, it made him long for her. He longed to touch her and be with her.

Eli knew what he said to her that night, that she was different than anything he’d ever known, he knew that was true. And he deeply regretted ever letting her go.

He sat up in his bed, on Valentine's Day, the bottle of bourbon in his hand. He hasn’t drunk yet, and that was good. He’s getting Miranda Bailey back tonight. He was going to go to her, and propose his undying love for her. Yes, that’s what he’s going to do.

Miranda’s back hit the door, and she moaned as Ben’s lips attacked her neck.

“Oh God,” she said, breathless, as he kicked the front door closed. They didn’t bother to lock it, and it would’ve bothered her, but all the sensations running through her body with every touch made her lose her mind.

“Fuck, Miranda,” he groaned in her ear, making her knees buckle. Luckily, Ben wrapped his arms around her, and carried her. Her legs wrapped around his waist, as their mouths collided in a hungry brawl.

Ben caressed her breast with his right hand, making her throw her head back in ecstasy. God, she missed this so much. It’s been a while since they got back together, and everyday, she was grateful that she’d come back to this.

Especially now. It’s Valentine’s Day, and she’d been promised an elegant dinner, to which she was very excited about. Although, she thought their plans had been ruined, due to a couple of surgeries she’d had. But then, he’d turned the whole hospital cafeteria into a dinner date, made special for the both of them. It warmed her heart, and she just melted when she found out he had all her favorites prepared for her. He really knew her.

And damn, what a way to make a woman feel special. And make her feel very turned on.

As soon as they finished dinner, they immediately ran off home, wanting to appease their aches as soon as possible.

Miranda was brought back to the present, as her back hit the stairs. Ben was kissing down her collarbone, and he was on top of her. “Baby… not here. C-come,” she moaned as his tongue delved into her spot behind her ear. “Come on, bedroom.”

“I can take you right here, instead,” he growled, squeezing both her breasts at the same time. She whimpered, moving her head side to side. “I need you, Miranda.”

She pulled him up to her face, kissing him passionately, feeling his piece grow on her stomach. “Bedroom, now.”

Eli had never driven like he did tonight.

He sped through the street, his head filling with scenarios, everything that ended with them kissing passionately and ending up in bed.

Sitting outside her usually bright house, now dark and seeming empty, he sighed. It’s almost 1 in the morning. Technically, it’s not Valentine’s Day anymore, but it’s the thought that counts, right? In his heart, he knew she could still love him, like he does her. So, with a deep breath, he exits the car, and walks towards the porch.
