"No house tour?"

'Are you ready?' I heard a voice say and I jumped up from my dream. 'Sorry.' John said when he saw that I was sleeping. 'It's okay.' I murmured as I rubbed my eyes. He walked up to me and gave me a kiss on the forehead.

'Let's go get some coffee and go home.' He said as he handed me my coat.

'Sure, thank you.' I told him and I put it on. We quickly went to the front desk so that John could clock out. He grabbed my hand as we went to get his card.

'Ah to be young and in love.' Haleh said as she saw us walking as close as we could. 'I need to get a boyfriend.' Susan added as they watched us.

'Were going home and uh-' John said as he quickly looked at me. 'Have lots of fun.' He smirked and I pushed his shoulder.

'Carter!' I giggled and he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. I let my head fall against his chest. He lowered his head next to my ear. 'You look stunning.' He whispered.

'Let's go.' I said suddenly very excited to go to his apartment.

John grabbed his card and quickly clocked out. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the door as quickly as we could. We couldn't wait to get out of here.

'Bye!' I giggled and waved as we ran outside. It was still snowing and John pulled me closer as we ran to his car to stay warm.

'Let's skip coffee.' He told me and I laughed.

'Eager much?'

'Maybe a little.' He said as we arrived at his car. He opened the door for me and I sat down in his green Jeep. He started the car and drove away as soon as he sat down.

'How far exactly?' I asked while looking out the window. 'Ten minutes tops.'  He told me and I nodded. We calmed down for a moment, not so high on excitement. I looked at him, his hair pocking out in different places, his eyes focused on the road.

'Look, I'm really sorry about the fight.' I started to apologize. 'No, val, it's okay.' He said.

'I acted like a jerk.'

'Well, I shouldn't have yelled' He added.

'Let's forget about the whole thing.' I suggested and he put his hand on my tight. 'That sound like a great idea.' He agreed.

We arrived at John's apartment, not long after. We stood at front of the door of his apartment. He grabbed the keys but suddenly stopped. 'Wait.' John said.

'Is something wrong? You haven't changed your mind have you?' I quickly asked. 

'No..no I haven't.' He said. He grabbed both my hands in his. 'I love you.' He said and I frowned. Why was he acting so weird all of the sudden?

'What are you on?' I asked. He scanned my face and put my hair behind my ear.

'Nothing.' He smirked with his eyes looking bright. 'I just wanted to look at you for a moment.' He started. I wanted to say so many things but my mind was blank. He was so sweet and caring.

'I love you.' Was the only response I could think of. He slowly pushed me against the door and kissed me again. He tried to open the door but struggled. I heard the keys jingle but the door didn't open.'Dammit.' He pulled back to focus on the lock. I laughed at the situation. 'Just a moment.' He tried to quickly open his door but failed.

'Let me help.' I said and I opened the door in one quick motion. He grabbed my hand and we went inside. He pulled off my coat and let it fall on the floor. He grabbed my face and leaned in.

'No house tour?' I asked. 'Very quick then.' He responded. He grabbed my hand and pulled me trough the house. 'Here's the living room.' He said and I laughed. 'Uh-uh.' I nodded trying to pay attention. 'Great, uh architecture?' I laughed and he looked at me. I was more focused on his lips and the way his hand fit perfectly in mine. We walked trough an opening. 'The kitchen,' He continued. We stopped for a moment for me to look around but I leaned against him instead. 'Looks cozy.' I smiled but I hadn't even looked around. I put my lips against his neck and started to kiss him. I felt his breath hitch and he froze for a moment.

'Let's go to the bedroom.' He said as he picked me up. 'Ahh Joh- John please!' I laughed and tried to get out of his grip but secretly loving this. He carried me across the room with one hand on my back and the other around my legs. We walked into his room and he put me down on the bed. I think I never felt happier.

⋆⋆⋆

I opened my eyes and saw the morning sun shine trough the window. I rolled over and stuck out my arms to grab John when I felt that he wasn't there. I sat up in bed rubbed my eyes still feeling sleepy. I pulled the sheets over my chest and looked around the room. Clothes were lying on the floor everywhere. I looked at the clock, nine a.m. I pushed my hair out of my face and sighed.

'You're awake.' John walked in with sweatpants and a grey shirt on. 'You made me breakfast?' I asked when I saw that he had a trey with food in his hands.

'Eggs, thought that was kind of ironic.' He answered. I let my hand go to my head and I felt the tiny scar from my accident. 'Ha ha.' I faked laughed and he sat down next to me in bed.

'We had a pretty good time last night.' I said as I looked around the room. 'Yes, we did.' He smiled as he gave me kiss on my cheek.

'I'm so happy you came back to the hospital last night.' He said and I nodded.

'Me too.' I added. 'Let's never hide feelings for each other again.'

'If it has the same out come, I think we should.' He said and I swat his arm.

'You're goofy.' I said. 'But I love you for it.'
