I went home and started to drink a bottle of tequila. No, two bottles. Maybe three. I'm not sure. I haven't felt so shitty since Derek died. Funny, isn't it? They way two people can make you feel so good now and so shitty then. I hear the doorbell ringing, and I stumble when I try to get up from the couch. Who is annoying me at four p.m? It was suposed to be just me and my tequila. I open the door and see him standind there.
-I thought you were in the pit- I said
-I was. And then I knew I had screwed up and decided to come here.
-You said you didn't do love triangles. I'm with my best friend tequila and you are the third wheel now.
- You're way too drunk. You shouldn't be drinking seven days post-op.
-I shouldn't have done so many things, Nathan.
-Yup, you're too drunk. Let me in, I'll make coffee and you'll sit on the couch and drink all of it.
-Why should I do that? Wait, what do you think you're doing- I said as he lifted me up and entered the house. He placed me in the couch and made some coffee.
-Why are you here?- I said as the coffee made its effect on me.
-I'm sorry I was being a jerk earlier. It's just that i was really worried. You could have fainted in that OR.
-Nathan, I'm sorry if I scared you. I am okay. Don't worry about me.
-I worry about you, all the time. I think about you, when I wake up, when I fall asleep. I really like you.
-Then you shouldn't go cancelling dates like it doesn't matter to you. Ungrateful ass
-Did you just call me an ungrateful ass?
-Yep but I'm drunk, remember?
-Right. So I just needed to know how you were. I will leave you alone now.
-Nathan. Stay with me.- I said as he came closer to me and I cuddled into his warm arms. Then we both fell asleep.

It was nearly eight pm when we woke up. Amelia had already returned home and saw us cuddling but didn't wanna disturb. Maggie hadn't returned yet, but that was okay because her shift was until twelve. I still needed to talk to her. Anyway, i got up from the couch and so did Nathan.
-Hey, we fell asleep?
-Kind of, yes. A four-hour nap.
-I should go now. It's really late and you are still a little drunk to even go to Joe's bar. I will see you tomorrow and we can reschedule our date.
-Why reschedule? We can have a date indoors. Maggie is coming back late, and Amelia is leaving now for Owen's. I can ask Alex to get the kids ice-cream and then you could stay.- I called Alex and asked him to take care of the kids, he came for them fifteen minutes later and left. Amelia had left too. We were alone.
-See? It was that easy.
-Ok so, do you wanna watch a movie?
-Sure, which one?
-Titanic?
-Oh god, I hate romantic movies.
-Action film then?
-Sounds good to me.
He kissed me softly, and then a little more passionately. I leaned on the couch and he leaned over me. He kissed my neck, my shoulder. We couldn't help it. He grabbed me and took me to my bedroom. I took off his shirt and...
