Chapter Five - Ghost

- Evelyn's Pov -

It's been a little over a week since that night in the living room. When I left it was for a mixture of reasons, but the main one being because I had to restrain myself. Restrain myself from doing something I would most definitely regret.

So I left.

And ever since we've been avoiding each other. It's like I live with a ghost. A very nice smelling ghost...

We both are very involved with our work, I mean I don't think I've seen her take an off day. And when she's not working she's partying.

The only time we see each other is when I take her vitals at night. Even then we don't say anything to each other, well other than me asking medical related questions.

It's awkward to say the least.

And the worst part is I can't get her out of my head...

I mean in a strictly professional way.Obviously.

She's a very reckless person to say the least. It's only normal that I worry about her when she goes out partying or whatever else she does. It's strictly medical, plus if something happens to her I'm as good as dead in her fathers eyes.

Speak of a Heart, I look up from my desk to see Dr. Heart making his way into the chair in front of my desk. He gives me a smile before leaning back and studying me with his eyes.

"Hello Dr.Heart, what can I do for you?" I'm honestly a little annoyed by him just barging in but I manage to hide my irritation with a small smile.

"Well, since you've been doing so much for my daughter, I was wondering if you'd like to accompany us to the charity ball this Friday."

I try to not laugh at his statement. Does he not understand that I am a top surgeon, I was already invited. He's just trying to be nice, I guess I can try to be nice back...

But that means I have to spend a whole night with May, in most likely a sexy dress. Not that that would change anything. It's just harder to be professional around her when she's in revealing clothes. Such as wearing nothing but an oversized T shirt to bed. It has given me slight insomnia to say the least.

"Wow sir, that's nice of you, I would be happy to join you Friday night." I close my computer seeing it's almost time to go home.

"I'm happy to hear that. And if you need anything, anything at all, my door is always open." He stands up with a polite nod before leaving my office. I wait a few minutes before leaving so I don't run into him again.

That would be awkward.

As I'm walking out of my office I see a few of my colleagues huddled together talking. Normally I am not a very social person, but something in me right now wants to be.

I make my way to them and they all acknowledge me.

"Oh hey Grey, you headed home?" Sebastian says in his normal upbeat voice. He's definitely the type of person that grows on you.

Or at least he's growing on me...

"Yeah, I am." The feeling in my stomach is strange, I've never been the type to have many friends. I had goals and ambitions, and those didn't include anyone by my side.

But now? Now I'm at the top, well close enough anyways, why do I have to keep pushing people away? I keep having the same thoughts that if I let anyone one in history will repeat itself, but the truth is these people are nothing like the people in my past.

"Are you going to the charity ball on Friday Evelyn?" Sara is standing across from me next to Sebastian and one of the nurses.

She gives me a look that tells me just how mad she is. First I leave her at that party, then I totally ignore her for a whole week. She has every right to be angry. But she knows how I am, what we are. I don't do relationships or commitments. She knows that.
