Stole My Heart ❤️ {A Jackson Avery love story}

Chapter 31:

The next morning, Theo woke me up before my alarm by showering me with kisses which made me giggle. We have a quickie then I get ready for work.

Theo: why can't you just stay home? We could just cuddle all day.
Delilah: as tempting as that sounds, work is important to me.

Then, Theo's phone goes off. I look over his shoulder and I see his ex calling him. He immediately declined her call then blocks her number before giving me a kiss.

Delilah: what are you gonna do with her?
Theo: I have to find a new place to live since I moved into her place with her a couple years back.
Delilah: you can stay with me for a bit until you find a good place to live. And if you get tired of my apartment, I can either ask Cristina or Mer if you can stay at their place.
Theo: okay first, your apartment is great. Two, I'll just move in with my brother. And three, are you planning on telling people?
Delilah: hon, I plan on telling them about you. They're my best friends, they're my sisters. We tell each other everything.
Theo: shouldn't you wait?
Delilah: I might wait a little longer to tell my other friends and I'll definitely wait a little bit until I tell my dad but I trust Cristina and Meredith. If you knew our friendship, you'd understand.
Theo: okay okay, you can tell them.
Delilah: I need to get to work but I'll try my best to call you if I have free time.
Theo: have a good day at work.
Delilah: I'll try. Bye babe!

I kiss Theo goodbye then I head to work. I walk straight into the locker room and change into my scrubs then I try to find my friends. I end up finding Meredith with Alex and Cristina.

Meredith: not do him, date him. I'm not doing anybody. I'm knitting.

I snort at Meredith's comment as I lean on Alex's shoulder.

Cristina: I need Eugene Foot's chart.
Delilah: what are we talking about?
Meredith: it's weird, right? I mean, he's Derek's vet. He's Doc's vet. He's my vet. He's McVet. It's weird to date him, right?
Cristina: wait, did you say vet?
Meredith: mhmm.
Delilah: wait, are you talking about Finn?
Meredith: yep.
Cristina: as in animals? Oh, you can't date a vet. He's not even a real doctor.
Delilah: oh come on, Finn's actually super nice. I say go out with him Mer.
Meredith: you know the vet?
Delilah: I've talked to him a couple times, to pass messages about Doc to my dad when my dad doesn't answer his phone.
Cristina: you look happier than usual baby Shepherd. What's up?

I was about to answer when I hear Addison a few feet away from the nurses station.

Addison: damn it! Sex. Hot sex. Need that. Haha, very funny.

I scrunch my nose in disgust knowing that Addison is talking about her and my dad.

Meredith: mustn't have gone so well this morning.
Cristina: what?
Meredith: just run if she looks at you.

Addison approaches us.

Addison: I need an intern, now.
Meredith: I'm with Bailey.
Cristina: I'm with Burke.
Addison: Delilah.
Delilah: I'm with Bailey too, sorry Addie.
Addison: Karev.
Alex: I don't do vagina, not as a doctor anyway.

I whack Alex at the back of his head.

Addison: oh, back talk. You know what? You just bought yourself a case.

I walk off with Meredith and we meet up with Bailey then we walk off to Denny Duquette's room.

Meredith: Cristina's right, you look happier than usual. What's up?
Delilah: okay. If I tell you, you can't say anything to my dad. I know you and my dad are friends but we are best friends so our friendship trumps your friendship with my dad.
Meredith: I won't say anything.
Delilah: okay. You remember Theo?
Meredith: mhmm.
Delilah: ... we're back together.
Meredith: really?!
Delilah: when I saw him that day when his dad was admitted, I can't lie, it brought back a lot of memories. And the more we've talked, the more I started thinking about how much I missed us and how we used to be.
Meredith: wait, when did this all happen?
Delilah: ... last night.
Meredith: okay, you're telling everything!!
Delilah: he asked me to come over cause he was super sad because... he broke up with his girlfriend. Then, he confessed that he's still in love with me and one thing led to another and... we hooked up. Then he asked me.
