After hours

Chapter 3

I couldn't concentrate on anything at work the next day.

My boyfriend was a hottie heart surgeon.

Ha, I love saying boyfriend. I'm so happy he's my boyfriend again.

My pager goes off. It says to go to Jacobs office.

"Hey, it's good to see you." He greets me with a kiss as I walk through the door.

"You too, what did you need to see me for."

"Well I was going to do this over dinner but im on call, so I was wondering if you will please join me for the 150th Anniversary of "The Florida Hospital" masquerade ball tomorrow evening?"

"Oh of course! What time is it?"

"It is at 7. I can pick up around 6:30, is that okay?"

"It's perfect!" I say leaning in to kiss him again. "I've got to get back to rounds. I'll see you later?"

"Yes." He says kissing me one last time before I leave.

I immediately find Alyssa so I can gloat about going to the ball tomorrow.

"Hmm, guess what my new hottie heart surgeon boyfriend invited me to tomorrow?"

"You can't be serious."

"Mhmm!" i squeal.

"You're going to the ball!"

"Yep! In your face!" i taunt.

"I really hate you."

"Oh, you love me!" i laugh and wrap my arm around her shoulders.

Today is day! I wake up and get ready for work. Taking the time to actually put on a little bit of of makeup.

I drive to work, a whole lot earlier than I usually do. I am the first one for rounds, hopefully the first one to finish.

I didn't hope enough. The day went by agonizingly slow.

And I didn't get to see Jacob at all, he was booked back to back heart transplants for the day and I wasn't out on his service.

After a day full of crying children from pediatrics I drive home to take a fast shower.

After my hair was dry, I decide to curl it. I end up doing a romantic updo with a loose braid on the side.

I do the famous smokey eye and nude lipstick.

I slip on my midnight blue floor length dress along with my Steve Madden's heels.

Now the final touch. The mask.

I hear the doorbell and look at the clock. Precisely at 6:30. Dang. He's good at not being late.

I walked over to my door and he had a tux on with a black mask. Sexy. I open the door.

"Hel-Wow. Evi! You look absolutely stunning! Wow." He looks breathless.

"Thank you Jacob, you don't look that bad yourself." I say sweetly and wink.

"Mhm. Are you ready to go?"

"Yes I am."

We laughed and sang all the way to the ball. He opens my door and we link arms.

The doormen open the doors while we were approaching.

There is an arch that was covered with white roses that entered into the ballroom. We walk in with arms still linked. Everybody's eyes follow us until we sat in our spots.
