Chapter 20~ Never be The Same

EMILY:

"Can you go out to a party with me? Just act like you're my woman for a night." He said.

I thought I had heard him wrong, no, I really did hear him wrong so I wanted to hear him again. "What? Why? No, come again!"

He didn't say it again because he was certain I had heard him the first time. I didn't know what to say so I too kept quiet. I wasn't ready to act as his woman and go out with him. I had this feeling something might go wrong.

"Ch.. Christian.." I called.

He waited patiently for me to gather the right words to say to him. "How important is this?" I questioned instead of giving him a straight no. I didn't like the fact that he had been stressed out the entire day, and it was really affecting some of the surgeries.

I needed to know how important this was for me to come to a decision.

"It's really important. If I could let go of it, then I would have done that and not said a word to you."

His response made me believe he too was having a tough time telling himself to do it
