Thank you, girls, for your kind words.
Sorry for the delay. I didn't have much time. Here is chapter 4. Hope you'll like it.
Chapter 4
Abby pushed the door open and they came into he apartment. It wasn’t big but it was comfy and that was enough for her. It was similar to her Chicago apartment. And now both of them had one more thing in common – Luka was there…
“Do you want some coffee or tea?”
“Tea would be great. Thanks, Abby”
They settled on the sofa in the living room.
“So, um, what are you doing in Boston?”
“I was offered with a job. In Chicago there wasn’t anything or anybody to held me. So here I am. Will start as an attending in the Boston General Hospital tomorrow.”
Abby stared at him with wide eyes not believing her ears. That’s just incredible.
“What? You know someone there?”
“Know someone there? Of course I do. I’m an intern there in the ER.”
“You became a doctor! That’s great! I know how much you wanted it. Congratulations! I’m honestly glad for you.” Luka hugged her and once again can’t make himself to let her go.
“Thank you, Luka” she murmured.
“We’ll work together again. I missed to work with you.”
“Me too, Luka, me too.”
They sat in silence some time simply enjoying the pleasure of each other’s company. Again Luka was the one to start he talk.
“So, um, what’s your boyfriend’s name?”
“My boyfriend?” Abby was confused.
“Yeah, um, the guy you danced with.”
“Oh! That was Nick. He’s a surgeon in The General Hospital.”
“He seemed to like you a lot…”
“Yeah, Susan says that he’s Mr. Right and adores me and that I’m a fool not to act on it. And he’s a great friend.”
This time Luka was the one to be confused. He stared at Abby with weird expression on his face.
“What? What’s wrong?” Abby couldn’t read him.
“You’re not together?”
“As in romantically? No. Do you really think I would kiss you being in a relationship with another man?” she asked disbelievingly. “No, Nick is just a friend. Good, good friend.”
“I’m not so sure he thinks the same way” Luka muttered.
“Oh my God! Are you jealous?” Abby exclaimed.
“No. I just don’t like the thought of you being with anybody but me.”
Abby preferred not to answer on this and to ask little something that was on her mind.
“What about you? Have someone special in your life?”
“Yep. I’m looking at her.” He answered without a thought. Abby slightly blushed.
“I still love you, Abby. I loved you all these years. We both know that wasn’t the reason we broke up. I want us to try again.”
“I love you, too, but has changed since Chicago story? If we couldn’t make it work then what makes you sure we can now?” Luka took her hands in his.
“The thing is we both love each other and I don’t know about you but I love you even more. And we’re both grew and matured for the past years. I’m not the same I was back there. Three years ago I lost a very special woman. And that made me realize what a dork I was. I know I hurt you very much, Abby. But I promise you I won’t do it again. You mean too much to me.”
“But now you’re my boss. I’m an intern, you’re an attending. That’s not right.”
“What do you suggest?”
“I suggest to wait till the end of my internship.”
“How long is that?” Luka asked.
“6 months.”
“I’ll lose my mind but if I have to wait another half year to have one more chance to be happy I agree.”
Abby nodded and nervously played with her hands.
“Ok, then… It’s late. We should go to sleep. You’re on day tomorrow?”
Luka nodded. “Sleep… I think I’ll go then”
They went to the door.
“Um, good night” Abby was very nervous and didn’t know what to say.
“Won’t you kiss me?” Luka teased her.
“Luka, it’s hard enough for me. Don’t make it even harder.”
“Ok, ok. Good night, Abby. Sweet dreams.”
He leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek. He went out of apartment.
“Luka!” He turned backwards.
Abby rushed to him and kissed him with all her love.
“This one for you to remember what will be in 6 months.” She whispered in his ear.
“You drive me crazy, woman” was his reply.
They smiled at each other and Luka went to his hotel room. At least he’ll see her tomorrow and every day from now on.
