Ana's POV

"We're going to Wimbledon tomorrow!!!!" - she shouted like a freak. "Can you imagine that? The two of us at the Wimbledon Tennis Championship! Fancy dresses, free drinks and.... hot guys everywhere! I literally can't wait for us to...."

"Wait a second Lizzy, what is all this? What on earth have you gotten us into? Why are you saying all this?" - I asked totally confused.

"Well, as you know, my sister and her husband love tennis, so they got two tickets to Wimbledon from my parents for her birthday. But unfortunately they came down with some flu the other day, so they won't be able to make it. Very sad..." - she explained with a mischievous smile on her face. "That's why they thought that the best idea would be to give the tickets to her single and beautiful sister to have a good time with all the unbelievably hot boys out there. Men in suit are my biggest weakness..." - she winked at me and laughed."So here we are, just came back from Thailand and going to Wimbledon tomorrow! Now that's what I call living, girl!" - I stared at her in complete shock.

"Lizzy, we can't just leave tomorrow, you know that, right? We have certain responsibilities, we are working tomorrow, for instance." - I tried to reason against her impossible idea.

"Even if we had to work, I would probably sneak out at the back entrance. Wake up Ana, we're talking about Wimbledon here! Do you have any idea how much these tickets cost? I feel lucky to even touch them. It's something that happens to you once in a lifetime. A possibility to visit the Wimbledon Centre Court! Just think about it!" - her excitement was contagious."Don't worry about work, I have already talked to Jake and Oliver, they agreed to change our shifts in exchange for a few beers..." - she smirked.

"I don't really know what to say.... I'm not a huge fan of tennis, you know. It's not that I don't like it, I'm sure it's a really hard sport and I respect everyone who even touches a tennis racket but... I'm not sure I can sit in one place for about three hours... These matches can last for hours, you know. Do we even know who are playing tomorrow?" - I tried to reason as much as possible against skipping our work schedules after we'd been away for almost three months...

"Well, we have tickets for the match that starts at 2.00 pm tomorrow. I didn't have time to check anything yet, I wanted to tell you first." - she looked at me with those puppy eyes of hers. "This is going to be huge, Ana. Don't think about it, just say yes. Please!"I let out a huge sigh and I knew I was defeated.

"I don't even know what to wear or..." - I couldn't finish my sentence beacuse Lizzy was already all over me, hugging me and screaming in my ear.

"You won't regret, I promise! And your outfit is the least of your concerns! Let me take care of everything! You're staying at my place tonight so we can go together tomorrow morning, all right? Oh my God, we're going to Wimbledon! - she was literally screaming.Suddenly my office door opened and I saw Jake looking at us in disbelief.

"Your screams can be heard all over the corridors, people might think someone's being skinned in here!" - he said with a huge grin on his face."Don't you girls have anything else to do? Some work maybe?" - he gave us his famous 'I know better' look.

"I definitely have something else to do: remind you that you promised something and I really hope that you don't intend to change your mind, for your own sake..." - Lizzy tried to threaten Jake, who didn't really seem to be moved by her threatening eyes and voice.

"Calm down, honey, as long as you pay a few rounds for us the next time we go out, it's all settled." - he winked and left my office with a smirk.

Lizzy rolled her eyes, I grabbed her arm and pulled her out of my office. "Let's do something useful now! Wimbledon can wait until tomorrow." - I said and smiled at her."If I were you I would be careful with my words. I can still invite someone else to come with me, you know..." - she looked at me frowning.

"What a pity!" - I exclaimed and we both burst into laughter, earning a few looks from our patients.
