The couple in her book, both doctors, have a baby with a medical problem that has not been seen in the medical world. It’s a rare disease, and all the doctors they see are baffled. It’s fun coming up with that, but we do, and it’s fun throwing ideas back and forth.
“Writing fiction is fun,” I tell her.
She laughs and glances at her watch. “It is, and I think your patients might be waiting for you.”
Ivy can sit in on two of my consultations as the patients are easygoing and don’t mind having someone in the room. She sits quietly, probably trying to blend in with the furniture.
After my consultations, I’m called to the OR for an emergency procedure, which doesn’t happen too often. Ivy gets a chance to sit in the observation room again.
It’s a good day for Ivy to shadow me as I’m almost in every part of the hospital. I have a meeting with Dylan regarding some of our patients, and Ivy gets to sit in on that meeting too.
“How about I cook dinner for you to say thank you for a wonderful day?” Ivy says at the end of the day.
“I would like that very much, but can we do it at my place? I desperately need a shower.” Just mentioning the shower is enough to get my dirty mind imagining Ivy in the shower with me.
“Sure, we just have to stop for groceries,” Ivy says.
“Let’s use your car. Mine will be safe here until tomorrow.”
The Fiat was a good choice for Ivy. She looks so good and sexy behind the wheel. She turns on the engine and looks at me. “Have I told you how much I love this car?”
“I’m glad you do.”
“I still intend on giving it back, though,” she says with a twinkle in her eye.
“I wish you wouldn’t. I don’t want it. I already have a car.”
Ivy drives out of the hospital compound, and I lay back and close my eyes.
“Your work is exhausting,” Ivy says a few minutes later. “But I imagine also very rewarding.”
“It is all of the above.” Feeling playful, I add, “Except when someone fucks up, and your sperm is put in a beautiful woman who hates you on sight.”
“I didn’t hate you on sight,” Ivy protests. “It was you who hated me on sight.”
I’m embarrassed that she noticed that I judged her the first time we met. It’s something that I will always be embarrassed about.
“I thought you were the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen,” I tell her.
The air between us changes. It becomes charged with sexual tension. I want to grab and kiss her until she begs me to fuck her.
“You did?” Ivy says.
“I did.”
We drive in silence the rest of the way. When we get close to my place, I give her directions to the nearest grocery store.
“For someone who doesn’t cook much, you sure do know where your grocery stores are located,” Ivy teases while navigating the car into a parking space.
I laugh, and my exhausted tension ebbs away. Ivy is relaxing to be with. “What’s on the menu?” I ask her as we get out of the car.
“Don’t know yet,” Ivy says. “I’ll figure it out.”
“I would never do that,” I admit. “I like to know the plan beforehand.”
“I’m the opposite. I’m quite happy to go with the flow unless it’s really important stuff, like being a mom soon. Speaking of which, the next appointment is this coming week.”
“Yes, I know. She said she’ll do an ultrasound this week. That should be interesting.” It’s more than interesting. It’s exciting. I can’t wait to see the image of our baby.
