Wait And He'll Be Gone

Chapter 4

~rough hands pinned me to the wall, wet lips pressing against the base of my neck. A leg slipped between mine, gently nudging them apart ~

I jumped awake when a warm hand gently pressed on my shoulder.

My eyes widened as McSteamy's chocolate eyes stares into mine.

"Hey sleepy head, we're gonna take you down now to sort out your hip, it'll hurt when you wake up but shouldn't be too bad hopefully" he smiled gently.

"Okay, can I ask something?"

"Yeah of course?"

"What's your name?"

"Dr Karev, but you can call me Alex" He laughed.

"Okay, just figured we should be on first name basis... Alex" I giggled quietly.

Alex and the other nurses rolled my bed down to the operating room.

"Alex?"

"Yeah Hun?" My heart fluttered and cheeks reddened.

"Can you hold my hand? I'm really nervous" I whispered.

"Of course I can" he winked and my cheeks reddened further.

My vision blurred, and my brain became drowsy.

I woke up later, an ache in my hip. My hand clasped in another's.

I looked to see who it was and Alex was sat in what looked like a metal canteen chair.

I gently attempted to remove my hand, but he woke jerkily, rubbing sleep from his eyes with his free hand.

"So how did it go?"

"Oh, fine. You'll be fine to walk in about a week." He grinned.

"Okay good" I smiled back.

His pager beeped.

"I'd love to stay but I have a trauma patient on the way" he apologised.

"It's okay I understand"

As he left, Dr Avery took his place.

"Good morning, how's your hip?" He asked.

"It's good thanks"

"Good, how are you feeling in general?"

"Pretty good, how long till I can go home?"

"Only a week or 2, hopefully later" he smiled cheekily, a simple appearing in his cheek.

"Why hopefully?" I raised an eyebrow, courage flooding me.

"Well, if you leave, I'll have no reason to come to work" he grinned.

"Who says, I won't see you after I leave?" I asked smiling sarcastically.

"Is that an offer for a date, Miss Sykes?" I grinned crookedly.

"Depends, do you want it to be?"

"Yes, definitely" he chuckled.

"Well I'll see if I can squeeze you into my busy schedule" I winked.

"Hmm well tell me when you decide a day" he laughed as he left the room.

I smiled proud of myself. Slowly my brain drifted into thoughts of when I leave the hospital...
