Whatever It Takes

Chapter 74

He was my strongest weakness, I surrendered heart and soul. Its gonna be a long, long time til I regain control, I'm still a prisoner held captive by his memory.
He was my strongest weakness, and I'm afraid he'll always be.
--Wynonna Judd

"So mcvet is back in town huh?" Christina asked as she walked up to Merdith standing at the nurses station desk..

"So?" she shruged not looking up from her work

"So what does that mean for you and your little escapade with mcdre-"

"Its not!" She hissed shooting Christina a warning look "And its not being talked about remember, you agreed."

"Christina never agrees with anything."

"So how are things with you and what's his face?" she asked trying to shift the topic of the conversation.

"They're fine and you're not changing subject."

"I am, how was your christmans."

"Bloody. I spent it here and boyless."

"This conversation isnt over."

"It is!" she calls out as she walks down the hall "I have will power in other areas as well."

She smirks tiredly as she reaches the door to the oncall room and opens the door hoping it to be empty btu not really caring, at this point she would settle for sleeping in a corner on the floor.. she steps into the room and closes the door behind her with her heavy body and looks up.. she freezes and feels her breath escape her as her eyes clash with a set of blue ones across the room settled on the bed..
