Song: You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette
It was finally the work party night. Everyone was able to let their hair down and ditch the scrubs. Each person was fun, tipsy and drunk. Yet, you. Drunk, Annoyed and pissed off.
Only trinity knows of your history with Whitaker. Not only is she your best friend that you tell everything to! They live together. So, when she started seeing the way you blushed around Whitaker she started piecing it all together. The biggest confirmation was your bra and shirt on the staircase. Meanwhile, your panties were right outside his door. Later that night, you confessed what you had been up to with her roommate and your co-worker. You giggled as she reminded you to just try and take the clothes off inside his room.
You and Dennis had just got back from a late cinema showing on a rare day off. You had teased him on the car ride back about how badly you wanted to go down on him in the middle of the theatre when you had noticed his hardness. As soon as the front door shut, you were pinned against it. He slipped his hands under your ass and lifted you. You wrapped your legs around his waist. You moaned as he kissed your neck, sucking on your collarbone lightly. Quickly, you removed your t-shirt to give him access to your chest. He smirked up at you. Feeling his hand snake up your back, he held you with one strong arm and used the other to unclip your bra. You gasped at his trick, your bra falling and exposing your plump breasts to him.
Walking down the hallway, he kissed and sucked on your hard nipples. You moaned at his wet tongue flicking over your sensitive bud. He flashed a grin at you, âyou are enjoying this arenât you dollâ.
âYes Dennis, I need youâ you pleaded.
He lowered you outside his door and got to his knees. Reaching his calloused hands up the sides of your legs and under your skirt. You felt his fingers loop around the hem of your thong. Gently, he pulled your panties down.
âThis is what I want,â he spoke proudly as his fingers brushed against your wetness. You giggled as he opened the door and pushed you inside his room.
Within the recent months leading to today, your âcasualâ fucking had fizzled out to nothing. It had began as something to relieve stress, confide in each other and having such a busy work schedule often prohibits finding romance. Within the Pitt people saw Whitaker as a lost puppy. However, you saw him in an entirely different light now. Dennis is a dominant, assertive and protective man. It turned you on just thinking about how that side of him would come out.
You were on shift with him when a trauma came in. Your heart broke seeing the injured manâs pregnant wife cry after being told he didnât make it. Working in ED is difficult, but sometimes it hits harder some days. To see someone be loved so deeply it reminds you of how hard it is to make connections with others and keep those connections.
âIâm sorry about the patient you lost today,â your sigh wobbled as you held back tears âI hope his pregnant wife is going to be okayâ
Dennis froze hearing your sniffles. You werenât usually a person who showed emotions. You usually kept your upset to yourself. But this time, it just hit hard. You began to realise how much you valued your close connection with Dennis.
âHey donât be sad,â he wiped your tears with his thumbs, âthe woman is called Amy.â
You sobbed, for some reason knowing her name made it harder. âI hope Amy will be okayâ you whispered.
âHer husband had a farm, I told her that if she ever needs help to give me a phone callâ he smiled trying to reassure you. You nodded silently before breaking down more.
âI-I am just scared that I wonât have someone who truly l-l-loves me as m-much as she does her husbandâ your whole body shook against Dennis with heavy sobs.
âListenâ he placed his finger under your chin, softly tilting your head to look at him. âIâll be here for you forever, I will hold you foreverâ he kissed your head.
âUntil you die?â You sniffled
He smirked and sniggered slightly, âuntil I dieâ
So months later of casual fucking and deep late night talks. Countless dates that âmeant nothingâ. You couldnât understand why Dennis seemed to avoid you. Each time you went to spend time with trinity, she would tell you she hasnât seen him in multiple days.
âHeâs literally ghosting meâ you breathed out with frustration.
Trinity sat on the bench eating dry boxed cereal, âhe keeps telling me he is going to this FARMâ she rolled her eyes.
âYou wouldnât want to see him anyway, he always stinks of shit when he comes backâ she laughed filling her mouth with fruit loops before looking at you.
She could see you looking defeated and puzzled.
âWhatâs up?!â She questioned, hoping she hadnât done something wrong.
âThat woman. Amy.â You were breathless, âthe pregnant woman who lost her husband months backâ
âOh shit!â She placed the box of cereal on the counter before rushing to you. You wrapped your arms around her as tears filled your waterline.
She pulled back and placed her hands on your shoulders, giving you a soft smile âheâs a fuckleberry! You are better than himâ
You returned the soft smile. Yet, your happiness felt lost. Although it was âcasualâ. promises til death arenât casual. I love youâs arenât casual. You and Whitaker were not casual.
A few months passed. You were doing better but people started catching wind of Whitakerâs newfound casual relationship. Trinity was the starter of the gossip. She was secretly hoping Robby would hear of it and give him a telling for breaching doctor-patient boundaries. People reacted differently. Some found it weird. Some congratulated him on his confidence.
Yet, he still avoided you.
So standing here tonight, filled with liquor. You now had confidence. Slowly your annoyance for everyone had grown. You were tired of hearing people ask Whitaker of how it started while at dinner. He tried playing it off like nothing was happening. Exactly how you both had played it. Meanwhile, under his scrubs he had your claw marks from the night before down his back as he pounded your tight pussy so good.
It was a karaoke bar and you had cheered Mel and trinity on for singing âbitchâ by Meredith Brooks. As they stepped off the stage, you grabbed both of them.
âBoth of you were amazing!â You smiled
âNow you are going to be amazing!â Trinity shouted and pushed you towards the stage.
Before you could question her, you were pulled on stage.
âNext up! Y/N performing you oughta knowâ the announcer spoke and hit play.
You nervously looked out to trinity who mouthed âheâs hereâ and slyly pointed at Dennis handing the next round out to people.
As soon as the lyrics appeared on screen, you knew trinity had chosen this song for a reason. Dennis was now stood staring at you.
An older version of me, is she perverted like me? Would she go down on you in a theatre?
You got down on your knees and flipped your hair. Everyone cheered but Dennis as he chugged more of his drink. Yet, he wasnât running this time.
And everytime you speak her name. Does she know how you told me youâd hold me until you died? âTil you died
âBut youâre still alive!â Everyone started singing along with you. Blissfully unaware of how their co-worker was awkwardly stood with a stone cold reaction.
Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity
You pointed towards Whitaker and everyone looked towards him. Now they were sharing confused looks among each other. The lyrics settling into place for them. Whitaker gave a small awkward smile and wave.
Trinity cheered from the crowd urging you to carry on. Although she loved you both. You were her best friend and Whitaker had this coming.
But it was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced and are you thinkinâ of me when you fuck her?
âOhhhkay HR cannot find out about this,â Robby said laughing placing his drink down.
Everyone was speechless. It was finally making sense why the ED had felt awkward when both of you were on shift. Each person realising why they had become a messenger pigeon between you both.
And every time I scratch my nails down someone elseâs back, I hope you feel it. Well, can you feel it?
You winked at Whitaker. You knew in that moment he was reminded of all the heated moments you shared together. The long nights both of you shared were your favourite. He was your favourite.
As the song finished everyone cheered. Dana pulled you in for a hug, âballs of steel to do that girl. You set him right!â
Colour drained from your face as you sobered slightly to realise you just told every co-worker what had happened between you and Whitaker.
âI feel faintâ you spoke breathlessly. Each breath was a struggle as your chest tightened. The surroundings sounded quiet and a ringing noise went off in your ear.
âRobby!â Dana shouted noticing how unbalanced you became. You looked around as everything blurred. Before everything went black, you saw Dennis running towards you with a worried expression.
