[ Chicago Med ] Connor and Ava | Hurt by Secrets

Chapter 5

The plane gracefully ascended into the sky at 9:10, and four hours later, it gently touched down in Seattle. Ava and Connor were met by a private car that would transport them to the hotel where they would spend the next three days. The Medical Center had made reservations for two individuals, but Ava insisted on sharing a room with Connor, complete with a lavish king-sized bed.

Connor: "So, what should I wear tonight for dinner with the esteemed Dr. Grey?"

Ava: "Are you seriously asking me that question?"

Connor: "Yes, I am."

Ava: "Aren't you the type to don a black tuxedo? Or the one I once mentioned was my favorite?"

Connor: "Ah, yes, that... Actually, I'm not sure if I brought it for this particular occasion."

Meanwhile, Ava changed into a stunning black dress. She styled her hair in an elegant bridal manner, applied red lipstick, adorned herself with a pair of earrings, and carried a silver-colored purse.

Connor: "Goodness, Ava. You look absolutely amazing. I can't take my eyes off you."

Ava: "Thank you, my love."

Connor: "Do we really have to go, though? After seeing you like this, I'd rather stay and savor every moment with you."

Ava: "You're incredibly sweet, and I had the same thought, but no, we have to go. Let's make our way."

A few hours later, after their splendid dinner, Connor suddenly asked Ava to accompany him to meet his sister that night. Without hesitation, she agreed. Connor introduced his long-time girlfriend to Claire and spoke only of the finest qualities she possessed.

Claire: "Any plans?"

Connor: "What plans?"

Claire: "Oh, come on, you know what I mean. Ava must be eagerly awaiting that moment. Right, Ava?"

A slight blush appeared on Ava's cheeks as she chuckled softly. Connor glanced at Claire, giving her a subtle "it's not the right time to discuss it" expression.

Claire: "Ah, my baby brother. I can't believe you finally found a woman you truly love. After all the girls..."

Connor: "It's getting late. Ava and I should probably head back to the hotel. We need to prepare for tomorrow. It's a big day. It's her first time giving a speech."

He pointed at Ava with the warmest smile that radiated his affection.

Ava: "Yes, that sounds like a good idea."

Claire: "Alright then, take care, you two, and good luck."

Connor: "We will. Thank you."

They returned to the hotel, shedding their fancy attire and slipping into comfortable pajamas.

Ava: "What was your sister trying to say before we left?"

Connor: "Huh?"

Ava: "I think I know what it is, but I want to hear it from you."

Connor: "There's nothing to tell."

Ava: "Seriously, Connor. We need to be open with each other to build trust. We do everything together, we share our lives..."

Connor: "Do we? We don't live together. You refused when I asked if you wanted to."

Ava: "Yes, but that's not the point..."

Connor: "Then why bring up such a conversation?"

Ava: "I thought I had told you that I still need my own space for a little while. I'm not ready."

Connor: "Yeah, well, I respect that and will wait for the right time to ask again. You know what... What my sister wanted to say is about my past. I don't want anyone, including you, to know about my personal life back then. I'm sorry. You are my present, and I'm not the same person I was years ago. Whatever perception you have of me now is completely wrong. I've changed. I'm working hard to avoid arguments and keep our relationship on good terms. I want you to be my last."

Ava: "Me too."

She understands Connor's feelings. She kissed him tenderly as he wrapped his arms around her waist, leading her to the bed where they would embrace the night together. As their lips met in a passionate embrace, a wave of warmth and desire enveloped Ava and Connor. In that tender moment, the walls that separated their hearts crumbled, leaving only their love and an unspoken promise of forever. Their bodies intertwined, expressing the depths of their affection and the longing they had both felt for each other.

In the dimly lit room, their love ignited like a flame, flickering with intensity and tenderness. Each touch, each caress, conveyed a language that only they understood—a language of devotion and connection. The world outside ceased to exist as they explored the depths of their desires, their souls merging in a dance of passion and vulnerability.

With every whispered word, every shared breath, their love grew deeper and more profound. They reveled in the intimacy of the night, their bodies moving in perfect harmony, entwined in a symphony of pleasure. Time became irrelevant as they lost themselves in the depths of their affection, their bodies and hearts entangled in an embrace that transcended the physical.

As the night wore on, their love intensified, reaching heights they had never before experienced. Each moment was a testament to their unbreakable bond, a testament to the strength of their connection and the depth of their love. In that intimate space, they found solace, healing the wounds of their past and embracing a future filled with limitless possibilities.

As the first rays of dawn painted the sky, Ava and Connor lay entwined in each other's arms, their bodies glistening with the residue of their shared ecstasy. In that tender moment of stillness, they knew that their love was a force that could conquer any challenge, and transcend any obstacle. They were united, bound together by a love that would withstand the test of time.

And so, as the morning light bathed their bodies, they embraced the new day, knowing that their love had taken them on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and unyielding passion. Hand in hand, they faced the world, ready to navigate the twists and turns of life's unpredictable path, knowing that as long as they had each other, their love would guide them through every storm, and their hearts would forever beat as one.
