... I Never Expected This

So yeah, here’s this thing that happened last week. It was my shift at the hospital, and you know how it goes, tons of patients, a few emergencies, but also those quiet moments where you can just sit back and enjoy your coffee or whatever. And then there she is... Dr. Emily Carter, from Cardiology, who I’ve always had this friendly rivalry thing going with because we’re both kind of the resident smart-asses. Anyway, it was supposed to be a regular shift, see patients, do rounds, go home. But nope, something weird happened. It started when I noticed Emily... she just looked different that day. And by ‘different’, I mean there’s this new look about her, like maybe someone had been getting her some extra attention on the bed-side manners front. I found myself staring a bit too much as we did our rounds together, and then... well, it happened when we went to the break room for lunch. There was no one else around, and she turned towards me with this wicked grin on her face that I just couldn’t ignore. One thing led to another, and before we knew it... Sorry, got a bit distracted there. Long story short? Yeah, you guessed it... We kissed. In the break room of all places! And surprisingly enough, it felt fantastic. But also awkward, because what does that mean for our working relationship? So now here I am, writing this confession to get it off my chest, not sure if there’s going to be any kind of ‘us’ thing going on or not, but man... It was fun while it lasted. Oh and yeah, we laughed about it a bit after. Said something along the lines of “maybe we should’ve just hired someone from HR as our mediator.” I know this isn’t exactly life-changing news, but... It’s happened now, and I kind of need to confess because... well, you get the idea. ...
