Well at least I met the mystery woman that I overheard Jackson on the phone with. And just my luck she was drop dead gorgeous.

I woke up this morning elated to be spending the day working with Jackson and learning a new aspect of medicine from his eyes but only to walk in on his plans to meet this Dr. Sabina Monroe at her place.

She was all over him batting her eyes and touching his chest. The same chest not 24 hours ago I was watching over me as he pumped into me pleasuring my body. Bastard. I should have known that this would happen. Jackson wasn't a relationship guy and I thought I could change him but I couldn't. It hurt like hell because this weekend I fell hard for him.

Fuck. My. Life.

A text came through from him as I settled at the reception desk in front of his office. I powered on the computer and pulled up the email from HR explaining the details and passcodes I would need.

I wasn't ready to hear any excuses from Jackson and fielded his message making it about business instead of pleasure.

I worked all day. Only talking to Jackson when was necessary. His eyes had begged me to listen but I was too hurt and embarrassed for that right now. My heart felt raw.

I did my best to get my job done. As effectively and efficiently as possible so that at least I could keep my internship. At 5pm Jackson was getting ready to leave so I packed my things to go as well.

He opened his office door as I picked up my bag. I turned to leave but he grabbed my arm. "Elizabeth..?"

"Not here. Please Dr. King" I replied downcast and anxious to be at home where I could cry myself to sleep.

Jackson released my arm just in time for Sabina to make her appearance. The opportunity to leave was waiting so I quickly left. Leaving the two of them alone.

I hopped in my car and made it home in record time. After I changed and showered I hopped into bed and finally let the tears fall.

I didn't know what he had going on with the beautiful Dr. Sabina Moore but she had seen the way I looked at Jackson and her eyes turned green with envy. I didn't want any part in a love triangle because it was also obvious she was interested but to what extent I didn't know.

And if he was going to her house and allowing her to touch him then it was enough for me to know when to back off.
I fell asleep crying and ignored my many messages from Jackson.

****

I woke up early after sleeping like complete shit. I had dreamt of Jackson pleasuring the beautiful doctor while they laughed at me. Making fun of how a little girl like me thought I could win over an attractive accomplished man. My eyes were puffy and red and my hair was ratted.

Whatever. I wasn't trying to impress Jackson anyway. I put my hair in messy bun and threw on my scrubs. Might as well go into the office early.

Jackson wasn't there when I arrived and as I started to get my desk and computer ready, Dr. Monroe walked up.

"Good Morning, uhm I'm sorry I don't think I caught your name yesterday."

"It's Elizabeth Miller" I replied slightly annoyed.

"Oh right well Beth could you give this to Dr. King for me? It must have fallen out his pants last night.

She placed his wallet on my desk. She giggled smugly as she walked away. Bitch. Glancing back once at my furious face.
I picked up the wallet and dropped it into my desk drawer as I started working.

Jackson's surgery schedule was full today which meant I wouldn't be seeing much of him today. Fine by me. But he showed up early with two cups of coffee. He was wordless as he placed one cup on my desk. Before walking into his own office. When he came back out his surgical cap was on. A sign he was going to be heading to the surgical floor.

He stopped at my desk but before I allowed any words out, I pulled out his wallet and slid it towards him. "She wanted to make sure this got back to you." I said dryly.

He picked up the wallet stiffly and after hesitating for a second he walked away.

Ugh. I knew I wasn't being fair but shit I was pissed. I told myself to stop being a nasty bitch and talk with him. I vowed to talk to him later.

****
Jackson worked all day on his surgeries and follow ups and I was deeply impressed by his work ethic and compassion towards his patients. I hoped I could be a doctor like him one day. When the work day was over I waited at my desk for Jackson to emerge from his office.

When he did I think he was a little surprised to see me.

"Elizabeth?" He inquired.

"Would you like to grab a drink?"

He nodded and wordlessly we left the building together. He reached his car and motioned for me to get in as well. I hopped in and buckled as Jackson started the Porsche.

"There's a great Irish pub down the street." He suggested and I nodded in agreement. We arrived quickly, sat and we each ordered a beer.

"Jackson I haven't been fair to you and I'm sorry."

Jackson reached for my hand. " I swear Dr. Monroe is just a colleague. I went to her house to get a case file. That's it I swear."

"It seemed pretty intimate to me." I clapped back.

"She's relentless but she's a great surgeon and a colleague, I've indicated that I'm not interested before but that's just how she is. I just ignore it mostly."

"Have you slept with her?" I hated my jealous self for asking the question but I needed to know. Jacksons face remained impassive and I wasn't sure if I had offended him or not by asking.

"Elizabeth I swear nothing has happened between us ever. His dark eyes bore into mine willing me to believe him. I wasn't sure how to feel or what to think. He stood then coming around the table to take my face into his hands. "Please I know I'm an asshole who hasn't committed to one woman in a long time but I'm not a cheater. I would never play with you that way."

I signed at his closeness and words and he brought his mouth to mine once again sealing my fate. My heart beat erratically as he kissed me.
