I threw water on my face as I replayed my previous conversation with Ku in my head. I know I should be thinking about the Domino surgeries that are happening today, but yesterday with her on that rooftop, made my heart jump out of my chest. I didnt know how to respond to her saying what if she was asking premission. All I could say was, well you should go. Which was a lie. Looking into her beautiful eyes I wanted to console her, but if anyone knows me knows relationship is my poison. I have screwed up enough girls lives, I love Ku as a friend and wouldnt want to make that any more difficult. Matthew is a good guy and they deserve one another. A loud knock erupted on my room door, I heard resonate into the bathroom.

"Dre, Im leaving in 5 minutes. You need to hurry. Sally surgery is today, the kickstart into these domino effect of surgeries--" He kept on ranting, but I zoned him out. I looked down and seen I was only dressed in Black briefs. I walked into my room and grabbed my navy blue scrubs and opened the door.

"I have my coat, a pair of shoes, wallet, and shit in the car. Lets go." I said as he asked, "So you are going to walk outside like this? This is why people want to rape your sexy ass, well blackmail you into rape." I shot him a look and he threw his hands up.

"Im just saying, if you stop showing off your goods, it wouldnt be that easy for people to want to have sex with you. But what do I know?"

He locked the door as I stood in the hall, stepping one leg in my pants at a time. He turned around to me and asked, "So did Trevor and Todd, decide which one of them will get the surgery?"

"How will I know that?" I shot back at him , like I didnt know why he asked. Ku really only opens up to me. He chuckled, "because, Ku only opens up to her Andre." We stopped at the elevator and I corrected him, "Im no ones, okay...and I dont know. I guess we will find out when we get to the hospital. Now, I heard you on the phone last night when I got in, with the Chief really?"

"What? He is nice and I kind of like him. We went on a movie date, it felt good. I finally took my mind off these troubling task that have been given to us." The elevator doors open and we stepped on. My cold feet hit the hard metal floor and he continued, "Dre, Look I know Ive been trying to give you the cold shoulder or what not, but I really need you to wish me luck. I know you have been booted away from these surgeries, unfairly by Doctor Avery, but you got to save Sally life and I want to thank you as her Doctor. I just want my Andre back." We looked into eachother eyes and I felt a hug coming on. I miss this little rascal so much. His arms opened and we hugged.

I confessed, "I miss you too. I have mustard up the strength and I did it." We pulled away just as the doors opened on the parking garage floor. He asked, "Did what?"

"Well, why you, Ku, Grace, and Rosie are doing bomb as surgery im going to Combs Manor to meet with my brother-half brother." I explained. Reggie gasped and said, "And I thought this day was only bad for 4 of the Golden Six. Goodluck to you, my friend. Please make it home tonight. Dont kill him."

"Doctor Pillai, you did what? Our job is to save the patients. Not play 'any many miney moe, which patients gets to live' it doesnt work like that." I snapped at her inside the Chief office, as we awaited the rest of the team, she is trying to tell me one of the twins have backed out.
