Chapter Four: More Than Just FriendsThe wedding was beautiful and I was more excited about Luka coming to the reception that anything else. I
have to remind myself that we have decided to stay friends, I need to keep repeating that inside my head. He finally arrives and sits next to me at the bar.
"Hey"
"Hi, you made it."
"Yeah, I had to revive your little patient, Stewie…"
"What? What happened?"
I look at him confused.
I mean he had pneumonia but he seemed alright when I left."His mother turned out to be HIV positive and didn't do anything to prevent her kids from getting the virus. It was a mess, Clemente freaked out and shouted at her. She didn't want us to treat him. Finally we convinced her and we moved him to PICU."
"Wow. I can't believe it. So I guess that's why she freaked out for an x-ray!"
I just stare at my glass thinking that
some people are really weird.After a while he looks at me and say:
"So you are not going to believe who is the New Chief of the ER?"
"Who? Please don't tell me it's Clemente because I'm going to die."
He laughs at my statement and then says:
"Nope, you are actually looking at him"
"Really? Congratulations!"
We are interrupted when everyone is cheering at Morris in his attempt to limbo.
After Morris falls to the floor I look back at Luka and I can't help but tease him about the whole situation.
"Do we have to call you Chief now?"
"Very funny" he says will he has a huge grin on his face.
I can't stop here so:
"You know, if you've been interviewed do they say
We are here at County talking to Chief Kovac…"
"They don't do it that way."
"I'm just saying I think it's cute if it's a guy"
I didn't just say that… How did I dare?"And if the Chief is a woman?" He asks me.
I have to say it just to put him in an odd situation:
"I don't think women should be put in position to leadership. Do you?"
He only manages to say
"Peanuts...?"
While he moves the plate closer to me.
Ok, let's change the subject."Ah, young love they just have to show it off to everybody" I say while looking at Neela and Michael sitting together and having fun.
We are back facing the bar when he takes the bottle of beer he has in front of him and makes a toast.
"Here is to discretion…"
I get my own drink in my hand and add:
"Propriety…"
And he finishes with:
"Maturity..."
"Well…" I say…
I make him change his mind because he says:
"No, not to that…"
We stay at the party until I remember I still have to work tomorrow so I head to talk to Neela.
"Hey Neela, is it alright if I go home early? I'm sorry but I'm really tired, it was a long day."
"Of course, thanks for being my Maid of Honor!" she says while we hug.
Luka who was talking to Michael says:
"I think I'm leaving too. I don't want to be late tomorrow as it is my first day as Chief. If not Kerry will hang me!"
We all laugh. After the proper goodbye's to the rest of the staff we walk outside and he says:
"Need a lift?"
"Yeah, why not. I'm not in the mood for the El and I'll be home much faster. I think I might not even get to the bed tonight. I'm exhausted!"
He smiles and as we are heading to his car he adds:
"I'm pretty tired myself. It was a long day and having to agree with Clemente is exhausting!"
I just have to laugh at his remark. We are both laughing actually.
So this isn't that bad. I mean, we can have a proper conversation and I'm not feeling odd at all. We get into his car, he turns on the radio and he drives to my apartment. I tell him about the wedding and how is Jerry as
father superior. We just laugh all the way.
When he pulls the car in front of my apartment he is singing
Copacabana which happened to be at the party and now on the radio. I look up at him and he starts humming when he realizes I'm watching him. And then I just have to laugh.
"Ok, well thanks for the ride."
He laughs too.
"That bad, eh?"
What am I supposed to say to that?"No… I would just… keep your day job…"
"What you never sing in the car? You know, when you are alone?"
"Sometimes I do, yeah… but you are not alone in the car."
I just have to laugh again.
What's wrong with me? I can't stop smiling and laughing!"Yeah, I know" he says.
"I'm just kidding" I say.
And then we do have an odd moment, the first one in a long time. I'm not quite sure what to do now. Should I invite him in? Will he think I want something more if I do? I really want him to stay, I want to talk to him and… Oh God… I don't want to be just his friend! I still can't believe I agreed to that. The silence it's becoming uncomfortable and I know he just looked at me waiting for something… what should I say? The hell with friendship…"Would you like to…?"
I never got the chance to finish the question. As I turned around to look at him he was moving towards me and the next thing I know we are kissing each other with such a passion.
Oh God! I can't believe this… so it might not have been only me… He wraps his arms around my waist and brings me to his lap. I can feel the stirring wheel behind my back but I don't care. We kiss each other for I don't know how long… and suddenly I can feel his hands under my clothes and I want to do the same with him but there isn't enough space to move.
So we finally part… I look up to him and I say:
"Wanna come in?"
"I thought you were never going to ask."
I move back to my seat and I exit the door followed quickly by him. I'm looking for the keys and he is just bending against me kissing my neck.
"If you want to get in you might want to stop that." I say…
I wasn't able to concentrate with all the warm kisses. He is just smiling like crazy and I can't stop doing it myself.
Finally I find the keys and open the front door. Not even two minutes later we are in my living room kissing each other as if we hadn't parted at all. I drop my bag on the floor as he takes my coat and his off. I'm trying to undo his shirt and watch where we are going in the dark. His shirt is off and so is mine… and there goes my bra… His hands are caressing my hair and suddenly is loose. My hands have moved to his belt and I'm about to remove his pants but he is trying to remove his shoes. And I should do the same, and there they go. Two pairs of shoes go flying in the air to some part of my living room. His hands swift to my own pants and then I can feel them drop into the floor. His own pants do the same some seconds later and I don't think I remember getting undressed so quickly before.
Through the whole odyssey our lips almost never part each other and as I fall into my bed on top of him I come to senses. I can't stop kissing him but I need to know so finally I part my lips from his and ask:
"You really think we should be doing this?"
His arms wrap around my back and a second later I'm the one underneath and he says:
"I do."
Oh God, Thank You! I never thought I would be so happy he said that! In celebration for our new agreement which meant "screw friendship" our lips find each other again, and again…
In my quest not to be so late to the party I had left one of the lights turned on in my room, and I’m glad I did that way can look at him. I want to feel him, and make sure it is really Luka who I am in bed with. Last week was awful, having him so close at work and not being able to be with him was making me go crazy. But now he is in my bed and he is all mine, and I'm his. He is making sure of that, he is taking possession of me, he is making me remember everything single time we've been together. I can sense his longing in the kisses, the need for closeness…
And then I remember the Christmas Party when he told me he missed me… I felt sorry for him then, I wanted to hold him… but Carter was in the next room. I didn't want to hurt him and I knew he never meant to hurt me. But this is our chance to make it right, to be together…His hands are on my thighs and his kissing them as well. Suddenly I realize we are going to need a condom and I wasn't even sure where I had left them, it's not that I was expecting to have him over or any man at all. I knew there were some left but still… Then I remembered they’re in the bathroom so I sit down slowly and he looks up.
"Luka…?" I say softly.
"Yeah?"
His has a worried face, and the last thing I want to do is to worry him so I kiss him. We kiss for a minute until I regain my composture and I pull away gently.
"We need condoms… and they’re in the bathroom."
"Oh…"
"I thought you might want to know."
"Yeah, I'll… I'll look for them."
He bends down again and we kiss each other. We can keep doing that all night but as our kisses are becoming more and more hungry I'm not sure how long it would be before we can't help it anymore and come even closer. He let's out a soft moan and quickly parts his lips from mine. A second later he is jumping of the bed and is in the bathroom.
"I think their in the first drawer"
"Yeah, found them" he says in a triumphal voice.
I have to smile when he comes in the room grinning like he just won the lottery.
He leaves the package on my nightstand and I'm looking at him smiling. I think our lips were meant to be together as they find their way back to each other. His tongue is moving slowly inside my mouth and I don't think I remember the last time I was in such a pleasure with just a kiss. He is on top of me again and my hands are on his back. I want to feel his warmth, to feel him… Our lips part and he kisses my neck and then begins to move downwards one more time. My hands swift to his hair and I can feel it between my fingers.
I need him so much now, but not just close to me, I need him inside me! My left hands turns to the nightstand in search for the desired item, I take one of them from the box. His kisses are becoming more and more passionate and it's making me shake with pleasure. And it's making even difficult for me to get the package open but eventually I do. He takes it from my hand and a minute later I can't help but say his name when he comes inside me.
"Luka… Oh God…"
He looks at me in the eyes and his kissing me hard on the mouth again. He wraps his arms behind me and makes me sit on his lap. I'm looking right into his eyes, understanding him. I start nibbling his neck softly, he let's a moan escape his mouth and then I begin to move quicker and quicker… I can feel his trembling hands on my back when he begins to loose himself to the moment. His back is becoming sweaty and I can feel the heat emanating from our skin. He can't take it anymore and drops me on the mattress one more time and starts speeding up...
"Luka, I can't hold it any longer…" I say breathlessly.
I can feel I'm about to burst when I realize I'm coming and just a second later he joins me.
We are laying next to each other some time later.
"So... was it nice?" He teasingly asks.
I have to laugh…
"I have to think about it…"
He is not he only one that can tease.
"You have to think about it, eh?"
He is mocking me as he swift his body to face me and then he adds:
"Is there anything I can do to make up your mind?"
"Depends. Anything to offer?" I grin.
"Well, I can think of more than one thing."
He just bends down and brushes his lips against mine. I open my mouth to welcome his tongue in but it doesn't stay there long, apparently he has other plans.
"That's one… and then I could…"
He just gives me small kisses on my neck which makes me shiver in delight.
I can't believe I want him again! "Ok... ok, I think I can say it was more than nice. Now come here…"
And as those words come out I pull him closer to me. I move on top of him taking control and kiss him deep and hard on the lips. Our tongues dance together and as I sit slowly on top of him to tease him a little but… he say:
"Oh Abby…"
His hand brushes my hair off my face and I know he's been waiting for this for a long time. I bend to kiss him on the lips one more time. Our eyes meet and begin the quest to understand the emotions that are gathering inside of each of us.
"You know that I didn't lie…" he says.
"What?" I look at him confused. "I don't understand." I add.
"I was right, you are not that pretty, you are just beautiful." He says.
I have to smile at that and kiss him. I could feel some tears gather in my eyes.
I'm happy to be with him and I know he is too. We found each other again and I wasn't going to let anything ruin it this time. We come together and then we fell asleep in each others arms.
