Doctor & Nurse

Chapter 9

That morning, I wake with a smile on my face, sitting on the end of my bed is Christina, who has an even bigger smile on her face. "Get in the shower! Don't even bother getting dressed." She grins at me.

"And, what am I suppose to wear after my shower?" I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.

"This." She says as she throws me, the purple floral robe from the end of my bed. I roll my eyes at her, but I do as she asks. I hop out of bed and take a quick shower, wondering what Chris is up to when I walk back into the bedroom, a torture chair is set up in front of a mirror, that is covered. Chris is sitting on the edge of the bed with a blindfold in her hand. She runs up to me, placing the blindfold over my eyes. "I can't see anything. How am I suppose to get dressed."

"That is the point. I am going to help you." She says. I can hear the excitement in her voice. Chris helps me shuffle into a dress then covers me with a blanket. She lifts the blindfold off my eyes. The brightness of the room, causes my eyes to rapidly blink as she starts doing my hair and makeup.

Almost two hours later, Chris is done with everything. She unveils the mirror with a dramatic sound effect making me giggle. My laughter fades shortly after I get a look at the girl in the mirror, for the first time in my life, I feel beautiful. Tobias picked out a beautiful dress. It is long, blue, white with a pattern on it. He even brought a pink sweater for me to wear over the top of it. It is by far, one of the prettiest dresses, that I have ever seen. Although, I may be biased because Tobias was considerate enough to buy me an outfit for our date. I feel like pinching myself.

My eyes are popping against the dress and my hair is done in waves. It looks like I have spent all day at the beach. I smile with tears in my eyes as I say, "Chris, you have outdone yourself. Thank you! I feel so pretty. This is by far the best job that you have ever done."

She laughs, pointing her finger at me as she says, "Tris, don't you dare cry and ruin your makeup! That was a lot of work!"

"Sorry!" I giggle as the doorbell rings. I run to get it. I feel a smile tug at my lip as I see who is standing at the front door of my apartment.

"To-Four!" I say, a huge smile on my lips, "You look handsome today."

Tobias says nothing as he stands there for a second, staring at me. I see his cheeks turn red as he blushes as he says, "Tris, you look beautiful in that dress. I can't wait to see the look on your face when you see what I have in store for you on this date."

"Well, let's go then," I say, a playing smile on my lips as I tug on his hand as we walk out of the apartment. Sitting next to the sidewalk is a beat up looking black Ford Mustang. I smile, looking at the car wondering if this is Four's car? This is not what I was expecting. I was expecting some expensive looking car considering the fact that Tobias is a doctor. I have seen what type of cars the other doctors drive at the hospital. Tobias laughs looking at me, seeing my expression, saying, "Tris, what's the matter? The look on your face is hilarious."

"Nothing Tobias. I wasn't imagining your car to look like that. I imagined some sleek, expensive, sporty, car that shouted to the world I am a doctor. I have or I make a lot of money. I did not expect some beat up old car."

As I am talking, Tobias's face turns serious as he turns to me and says, "Don't talk about my baby like that. She is beautiful."

I giggle at the seriousness of his voice as I say, "Of course, Tobias. I won't dream of talking bad about your car." He shakes his head as he opens the car door for me, helping me in. The car smells like him, and I immediately feel at ease. He grins at me as he sees me smile, "So are you ready to find out where we are going on our date?"
