Steady Hands | E.D.

Chapter 22

  "Dr. Lorraine, you can make the cut." Dr. Shepard announced to me, handing me the scalpel. My head instantly popped up and I excitedly looked at Ethan. I could tell by his eyes that he was smiling as he nodded his head. I carefully took the scalpel and cut through our patients skin.

As we paced out of the operating room, Ethan kept staring at me.
  "Dude, what do you want?" I finally asked.
  "I'm proud of you. You basically did that surgery yourself." He replied calmly.
  "What's in it for you?" I squinted my eyes suspiciously at him.
  "Nothing, I'm just proud of you." He shrugged his shoulders and then proceeded to scrub his hands clean. He stopped after a moment and started staring at me again. He looked like he was in deep thought.
  "What?" I said sharply. He lifted up his hands in defense.
   "Nothing! I just want to take you out tonight." He answered a little too quickly for my liking.
   "We just went out and had our 'first kiss.' Why do you want to go out again?"
  "First of all, that was one week ago, and keep in mind, we haven't kissed since then. And anyways, we get out at 4 today, so I'll just take you out straight from here." He stated confidently. His confidence made me blush.
   "Fine. I'll see you at 4." I acted like I was about to kiss him, and instead I turned off his sink, as he forgot to. With that, I strutted out.

I really do apologize for the chapters to come..😉
