CH8Taglist @daisychainsinknotsVik POV:Misty walks in as I’m runnin’ over a few last details on thescreens, almost don’t even hear her until she’s right next to me, lips drawntight in concern or disappointment – neither a look you wanna be on thereceiving end of from her.“What?”“Saw her leave just now,” she speaks soft, like she knows it’sa sensitive subject, “she looked really sad, Vik. What happened?”I shake my head, running a hand along the back of my neckin discomfort. I had already made up my mind to talk to Misty about it, butsayin’ and doin’ are two different animals… still find it hard to make my mouthwork, get the words out.“I think I fucked up…” it comes out more like a sigh, myshoulders slumping as I lean back against the nearby operating chair, “fuckedup big, Misty.”“Vik…” she hops up next to me, patting my shoulder allgentle but not pressing me further before I’m ready. Pretty clear she knows I’mready to spill everything that happened.“I almost kissed her,” I give a short laugh to myself,almost in disbelief that I’d been so close, my hand sliding over my face beforereadjusting my glasses, “swear she woulda let me too.”“So? What’s wrong with that?” She nudges my arm, smilingreal sweet, “you two have good chemistry, I could feel it from the minute youmet ya know?”I nod softly, looking to the floor between my boots, “Ipushed her away, I uh…” I clear my throat and shift, knowing I can tell Mistyanything but still feeling self-conscious, “I got scared I guess…”“Scared of what? She’s good people, Vik, and you don’t get alonglike that with just anyone,” she nudges my arm again, the usual sign she wantsme to look her in the eyes… I oblige reluctantly, “she likes you too,especially given the reaction she had to feeling rejected by you. Makes itpretty obvious, don’t ya think?”“I don’t know, Misty…” I gotta admit, having someone elsetell me they think she’s interested makes my heart beat faster, but somethin’nags at the back of my brain, “don’t know if I’m bein’ paranoid or just…insecure… but… it’s been a long time since I uh-““I know,” she gives a warm smile, “doesn’t mean you can’t giveit a shot though, if you want to that is.”“That’s the problem… I want to, so goddamn bad, but what ifshe doesn’t? What if…” I clear my throat and glance away again, fiddling withmy medical glove, “she lives an exciting life, Misty. Can’t expect a girl likethat, with so many options in life, to stick around with a guy like me.”“Viktor Vektor,” she practically pinches my side, making mejump slightly and glance over at her with a quirked brow, “you’re a catch, doyou hear me? She’d be lucky to land a guy like you. Besides, from what Jackiesays, she’s lookin’ for an out, only sticking to the merc gigs because shewants to keep V safe.”Hadn’t even considered that she’d actually leave the game…want out of the dangerous life. Makes her all the more appealing to be honest,the potential that she’d actually want a life with me… “Don’t know… Woman likeher can walk up to any guy she wants and not worry about him turnin’ her down,what if she just wants somethin’ quick to keep her occupied before she getsbored? Not sure I could handle that, Misty.”She sighs and shakes her head, her hair fluffing around theedges and hiding her eyes for a minute before she tilts up again, “Vik, I can’tgive you any certain outcomes, but I can definitely tell you from experienceand from being a woman myself: she definitely wants more than just aone-night-stand. If that was all it is, she’d given up already, yeah? Moved onto the next or rented a joytoy. But she keeps comin’ around here, keeps spendingtime with you, making conversation and getting to know you past being her Ripperdoc.Right?”I rub my hand along my jaw, thinkin’ over everything shejust said, lettin’ it sink in and realizing she’s probably right – not that itsurprises me. Knew talkin’ to her would help clear things up.But at the same time, makes me feel more like I fucked upbig time sendin’ her away like that…Misty nudges me, “well?”“Yeah,” I nod softly, crossing my arms with an exhale ofbreath out my nose, “but I sent her away already…”“I don’t think she’s quite so delicate, Vik,” she slides offthe chair and squeezes my shoulder before taking a few steps towards the door,pausing only for a sec, “give her a call soon, maybe talk about what happened?You’re a grown man, Vik, if you want something just be upfront about it.”I feel a chuckle rumble through my chest, the grin tuggingalong my cheeks, knowing she’s right – even when she’s so blunt about it.She reaches the door but I’ve already made up my mind, “heyMisty? Clear my schedule for tomorrow, gonna take the day, think on some stuff,maybe give her a call like you said.”She practically beams back at me, “sure thing, Vik.”Your POV:You meet Misty at the spot she’d picked, pulling her in fora hug when you see her before taking your seat at the table, “how’s your dayoff been so far?”“Great, actually,” she slides a glass of water over to you, grinningsoftly, “honestly just glad Vik is giving himself a break, he’s been workingway too hard, stressin’ himself out too much.”“Sounds about right,” you chuckle, motioning to the waiterwith your menu, “he’s lucky to have someone like you lookin’ out for himthough.”“Yeah,” her grin broadens for some reason, “he’s enjoyedhaving you around lately, not too often he connects with anyone anymore.”“Really?” you feel your brow quirk, ordering your lunchbefore meeting Misty’s eyes again and returning your full attention, “he seemsso friendly, though, like he’d get along with just about anyone.”She nearly chokes on her water, shaking her head, “oh,definitely not. Vik doesn’t put up with any nonsense, has no patience for it.Spends all his time in the clinic, too, so doesn’t really meet many new peopleoutside of work. I’m really surprised you two hit it off so well, seem to havegreat chemistry.”“Yeah… that’s kinda what I wanted to talk to you about today.”She leans in closer, elbows on the table, “I’m all ears.”“I tried to kiss him,” you bury your face in your hands, lettingout an embarrassed groan, “I fucked up, Misty, he was nice about it and sent meaway without sayin’ much… but Misty, I feel so dumb.”She chuckles and says your name, waiting for you to peekthrough your fingers and lower your hands before continuing, “listen,” shereaches over the table to take one of your hands in hers, “I’m pretty good atreading people, especially the longer I know them, and Vik… Vik definitely hasa soft spot for you, it’s pretty clear. If he sent you away then maybe he wassecond guessing himself, rather than rejecting you?”You chew at your lip and glance down, studying the doodlesalong the tabletop in silence.She squeezes your hand to draw your attention again, “Vikhasn’t dated in a very long time, don’t wanna get into details because that’s hisbusiness, but it didn’t end well. He’s a strong man, got a lot of pride andconfidence in a lot of ways, but inside he’s soft and gooey – got insecuritiesabout not being enough.”Your brows crease a bit, “really? Figured a guy like Vikwould have his pick of the lot.”She almost smirks, her eyes softening, “maybe he thinks thesame about you?”“I don’t know, Misty,” you shake your head and feel yourshoulders slump, “all sounds nice, but he sent me away, not sure-““Just talk to him, yeah?” She squeezes your handreassuringly and leans back for her food to be placed in front of her, “onlyway you can really clear things up for sure.”“Maybe you’re right,” you sigh, mouth watering as your own foodarrives.CH10 -- source link
