Chapter 9

"Hi . . ."

"Oh great, I really want to relax, I don't need your attitude right now Robbins so please leave." I huffed.

"I can't do that, I can't leave without . . ."

"Don't be a hypocrite, don't apologize, don't thank me because Torres already did that." I told her.

"You saved my daughter." she said.

"I did and I'd do it again if I had to so what's your point?"

"After everything . . ."

"Please don't Robbins, as soon as this is over and I've fully recuperated I'll be out of your pretty blonde hair."

"I heard, you shouldn't leave."

"Decisions already made, good night Dr. Robbins."

"Thank you for saving my daughter, she said that you kept her safe. I'll never be able to repay you for that."

"I don't want you to repay me anything." I said, starting to get angry.

"I think you should leave Arizona." Alex suddenly said.

"I just wanted to say thank you." she said as her tears started to fall.

"You did, you need to leave now." he said as he started to check my vitals.

"I'm fine damn it, what I need is to get out of this bed." I told him.

"That's not gonna happen, lay back down."

"Thank you." I whispered.

"It was nothing."

"Did you get in trouble for opening me up on the floor?"

"Not really, Bailey knows that I had to do it."

"What are you doing, Alex?" I asked him.

"What do you mean? That's the first time you've called me by my name, you know."

"Why are you being nice to me? You've been nice to me for a while now and I don't understand it."

"I like you, you're different."

"I don't know if I should be flattered or insulted because when a guy says "different" it doesn't mean anything good."

"Flattered, I meant different in a good way."

"Are you flirting with me Karev?" I asked.

"There we go again." he chuckled.

"You didn't answer."

"If I were flirting you wouldn't have to ask."

"Then what is it?"

"Just getting to know a beautiful woman, don't leave."

"Now that's flirting, I know where I'm not welcome Alex and I'm tired of pushing myself through the mud here."

"I don't want you to leave."

"I don't want to leave either but I have no other choice. I'm a good doctor Alex, a damn good doctor, and a damn good surgeon but I don't have a chance to show that here. I tried and I went down fighting, literally."

"I can keep you here you know."

"You wouldn't, you're too much of a good doctor and this isn't your area of expertise so I'll be released when I have to. Two-three days max or I'll release myself, mind you."

"You'll stay here the amount of time that you have to. I'm gonna let you rest now, good night Kiara."

"Good night, Alex."
