Kiss on my list (Joel Miller x reader)

As the world caves in

As the world caves in- Matt Maltese.

It was 2003. I wake up next to my husband, John. I smile and kiss the tip of his nose. He grins. "Morning to you too,"

"Want me to make you pancakes?" He asks. "I would, but I have to go to the doctors, then I have to get to work." I say pouting.

"Aww, well, come on, tonight is our anniversary. Don't let it get you too down, I have a romantic dinner planned, and something special for dessert.." he trails as he kisses my neck.

"John.." I say smiling. "Fine..fine.. go on, leave your loving husband alone in your comfy bed.." he says.

"You can see me tonight, maybe more if you don't keep whining." I say, dressed.

"I can live with that." He says. I finished getting dressed and continued to get ready.

"Babe.. try these eggs, really, I think I did something here."

"I can't, I'm running super late, I love you, bye!" I say running out, I get in my care and drive to the doctors.

As I suspected. I'm still infertile, all me, John is fine. His men are swimming about while my uterus is a sad sack of loneliness.

I go to work and am met with multiple papers on my desk. I sigh as I get to work, I notice most of my co-workers were not in today. "Hey, Roy, can you give these to Callahan? He needs to process these." I say knocking on the wall in front of me.

"He is not in today. Get Todd to do it." He says. "Todd isn't here." I say. "That asshole, he said he would cover my shift for me."

"Well, if you got up from your desk, maybe you would see that literally no one else is here besides Meredith." I say going over to his desk. He sticks his head up. "Well, I'll be damned. " he says. I noticed his hand was bandaged up.

"What happened? Did you and the wife get too rowdy?" I ask. "Haha, very funny. Some homeless person bit my hand today, fucker broke skin." He says. "Well shit, I mean love is love Roy." I say. "It was involuntary." He says, glaring at me. "I'm not judging." I say. He sighs.

"Wanna skip and get coffee?" He asks. "Fuck yeah, let's go." I say. "Should we invite Meredith?" I ask. He nods.

"Hey, Mere, wanna go get coffee?" He asks softly. "Mocha.." she says quietly. "We can bring back a Mocha, yeah."

"And a chocolate donut?" Sbe asks hopefully.

"Of course." I say. She smiles softly and goes back to her knitting.

Me and Roy got to his car. We go to the coffee shop and grab our stuff. We sit at one of the tables. "So tonight's your anniversary, huh?" Roy asks, wiggling hus eyebrows.

"Yep, 15 years together today, he put a ring on it 8 years ago." I say smiling.

Joel's pov

I walk into a coffee shop and order a regular coffee. I soon got my coffee and was making my way out when I heard a name I hadn't heard in years.

"So, y/n.." I froze and turned, and I saw her, wow, she was gorgeous. The world crashed around me.

She brushed a piece of hair out of her face, and I saw a ring on her finger.. of course.

Someone had gotten to her before I could. She looks up and sees me, her eyes widen and she immediately looks away.

She hides her face as she talks to the guy next to her. He looks at me, but y/n stopped him.

"We need to get back to the office anyway." He says.

He hides y/n as they walk out. I go to talk to her, but I decide against it.
