OH Masterlist | My Full Masterlist

The life of a medical resident isn’t an easy one. But with a bit of creativity, there are ways to muddle through. One of the highlights? The rare, precious, and cherished day off, and today, Jackie Varma finally had one of those days. She hit snooze on her alarm clock five times... just because she could. She was about to hit it a sixth time just for fun when her eyes popped open. 

There was a very good reason to finally drag herself out of bed at noon: the delicious leftovers she had brought home last night. The hospital had hosted a luncheon and told everyone to take leftovers home. You don’t have to say that to a broke resident twice, especially when penne gorgonzola from Carmelina’s was among the offerings. The delicious delicacy definitely beat the instant ramen noodles she normally had for lunch. But that’s OK, she thought with a smile. Today, she had her leftovers.   

She thought about getting dressed, but this was her day off.  One of the highlights of this high holy day was sitting around in pajamas. Her roommates understood and had seen her in worse, so she wrapped her hair in a messy bun, slipped her feet into her fuzzy slippers, and off to the kitchen she went. She heard people conversing, and as nice as it would have been to have the place alone for a bit, she was used to living with four roommates, so she didn’t let it dampen her mood. Besides, she was about to have penne gorgonzola. If memory served, it tasted even better heated up the next day. She knew she was excited because she swore she could almost smell it, then she stepped into the kitchen and...

“Hey, Jackie!” Bryce flashed her his signature grin just before sticking his fork in the last piece of her precious penne. This was a declaration of war.

“Wha... what... WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” She screamed so ferociously Elijah, Sienna, and Casey came running from their rooms. “What the HELL are you doing!?”

Bryce had no idea how a simple greeting could have escalated so quickly.

“Nothing!” He defended, eyes wide. “What’s wrong?”

Jackie was already at his side, not-so-playfully hitting her now-sworn enemy.

“YOU ATE MY FOOD! Do you have any idea how much I was looking forward to that?”

“Oh, I’m sor...”

“SAVE IT! That was penne gorgonzola from Carmelina’s!”

“I know,” Bryce replied sheepishly. “And it was delicious.”

Casey silently gave Bryce the “cut-it” signal, mouthing, “Not helping!”

“YOU DON’T EVEN LIVE HERE!” Jackie hollered. She turned to her roommates. “Why is he here! Who brought him here?” But before anyone could answer, she directed her ire back to Bryce. “WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS HERE?”

“OK, Jackie... simmer down,” Casey pleaded. “I know you’re pissed, but Bryce is our friend, and....”

“He was my friend,” Jackie snapped. “Past tense. Who comes into an apartment THAT IS NOT HIS and eats someone’s leftovers!”

“Jackie,” Sienna said nervously. “This isn’t entirely Bryce’s fault. He asked if he could have my leftovers, which were also in the fridge, and I said yes. I’m really sorry.”

“OK, so what are your leftovers? I’ll eat them.”

“Uh... a cheeseburger from McDonald’s...”

Jackie slumped into a chair with a sigh of frustration. Her head fell into her hands, and, to everyone’s shock, she began crying.

Elijah shook his head at Bryce. “Oh my God, you broke her!”

“OK! I’m really sorry, Jackie, but if we’re being fair, you ate the rest of my sea-salt caramel ice cream.”

“That was in OUR freezer! Why are you keeping your ice cream in OUR freezer!”

“Because he practically lives here,” Aurora yawned as she entered the kitchen. “What’s going on? You woke me up.”

“I’m glad you’re here, Aurora,” Jackie replied, ignoring her question.  “Because we need to set new rules in this place.”

“Jackie,” Bryce said sympathetically, “I’ll go on Uber Eats and order you another penne gorgonzola right now...”

“Forget it!” she said, holding up her hand. “Bryce.  I tolerate you and all, but why are you always here? You have your own apartment.  I’d KILL for my own apartment.  But no, I have to put up with these four, and you’re here so much you make it five. And Elijah...”

“What did I do?” Elijah asked nervously.

“Why is Baz here all the damn time playing video games... in the living room... next to where I am trying to sleep!”

“We can get headsets...”

“But why is he always here!?”

“Jackie,” Sienna jumped in. “It’s not bad for us to have our friends over.”

“No, it’s not,” Casey agreed. “But Jackie does have a point.”

“Says you!” Jackie barked.

“What do you mean?” Casey gasped.

“Do you think I need to see Tobias stumbling out of your room shirtless when I get up to pee at two a.m.!”

“What?” Aurora’s eyes lit up.  “Two a.m. is when that happens? Damn... I’ll have to set the alarm.”

“That’s my boyfriend, Aurora,” Casey teased.

“Oh, I don’t want him in the least! He’s all yours. But hey, eyecandy is eyecandy.”

“So,” Bryce asked, “if I take off my shirt more often when I come over, can I stay on the drop-in anytime list?”

“Yes!” Aurora said as all the others yelled, “No!”

Jackie turned to her with a look of disgust.  “When the hell did you become Miss Thirsty?”

“Ahh...” she shrugged. “I haven’t had a date in a while.”

“Guys,” Casey attempted to get everyone’s attention. “Can we go back to before my boyfriend was sexually objectified...”

“Guilty!” Aurora grinned.

“I was going to say, maybe we should have more rules about other people coming over.  No offense, Bryce.”

“Offence taken,” he nodded.

“I suppose it wouldn’t be the worst thing to have nights where we say no guests,” Sienna agreed.

“Quiet nights.” Aurora enthused. “That’s what we need, just nights where we know we can unwind a bit.”

“Since our schedules are so erratic, we can do them a month in advance...” Sienna offered.

“I think it’s a good idea,” Elijah agreed.  “Why don’t we have roomies meeting this weekend.  That doesn’t include you, Bryce.”

Bryce grasped his chest in mock horror.  “I’m hurt!”

“Or we could divide the rent by six, then you can come and go as you please,” Aurora smirked.

“Ehh, I can see you all at Donahue’s,” he smiled. “Jackie, I am really sorry about your leftovers.  But you know, if you ever want a little more privacy, you can use my apartment.  I’m almost never there.”

“We know,” they all said in unison.

“That’s so nice of you!” Elijah smiled.

“I was only offering it to Jackie,” Bryce winked.

“Bryce, I’m sorry for having a meltdown on you.  It’s just....”

“... just that you’ve slept ten hours in the past week, and you don’t always have much to look forward to, and I ... inadvertently ... took one of those rare treats away today.”

“Yeah,” Jackie smiled. “That.”

“I get it,” Bryce grinned. “You know, people always see my brilliance and this body, but they never see that I’m empathetic, too.”

“And humble,” Casey said, bumping his shoulder.  “Don’t forget, humble.”

Just then, the doorbell rang.  “Oh, no!” Casey said. “Who is dropping in now.”

“That would be the delivery man,” Bryce smiled.  “While you guys were having your roommate's legislation session, I ordered Carmelina’s for all of us.”

“You did!” Elijah grinned. “Hell, I say we have a rule that Bryce still gets to come over whenever he wants!”

“If he’s bringing food,” Jackie smiled.  “Thank you, Bryce.”

“Don’t mention it... roomie.”

Secret’s Out

Premise: When everyone at Edenbrook finds out Cassie’s identity, she realizes who her true friends her.

Book: Open Heart Characters: Cassie Valentine (F!MC), Jackie Varma, Sienna Trinh. Rating/Category: Teen. Fluff. Words: 1,245

A/N: This is set during the final week of intern year. Submission to @choicesmonthlychallenge​ May challenge, day 15 prompt “family”

Cassie Valentine was having a good day. She had just returned from a week-long vacation on the French Riveria with her family. After the year she’d had, the time off was exactly what the doctor ordered to reset and refresh.

Intern year was almost over (a few more days to go!) and she finally felt confident in her ability as a doctor. She was looking forward to mentoring her own intern and starting her junior fellowship on the famed Diagnostics Team with her medical hero and secret lover, Dr. Ethan Ramsey.

Speaking of, she checked the calendar app and the notification she’d set with a red heart emoji. There were exactly five days left until Ethan came home from his mission with the WHO in the Amazon. It had been a long eight weeks!

Time In The Sun

Pairings: Victoria Clarke x Sienna Trinh x Jackie Varma x Aurora Emery x Kyra Santana (friendship)

Word Count: 586

Summary: The ladies hit the beach

Rating: General Audiences

Category: Fluff

Making the trip to Martha’s Vineyard was an annual thing for the Boston ladies. Victoria, Sienna, Aurora, Jackie and Kyra couldn’t get enough of the place.

And they were so excited that they picked a quiet day to go. The May sun was shining, they all had the day off work and best of all, the kids hadn’t broken up yet for the summer holidays.

“If only we had a boat!” Jackie said as she climbed out the car.

“Someone could afford it on her diagnostics team leaders salary.” Aurora looked at Victoria.

“Or Doctor Hottie’s salary. That man must be in the six figures surely.” Kyra laughed.

“A woman never tells. And by the way, we share an account so it’s not just his money.” Victoria chuckled, grabbing the bags out the back of the car.

“You shouldn’t be carrying that!” Sienna swatted Victoria’s hand away. “Let us do that.”

“I can carry something. I want to help.”

“Ethan gave us strict instructions to not let you carry anything heavy.” Aurora said.

“Yeah and I don’t want to be on the receiving end of Ethan’s bad mood. I get that enough at work.” Jackie chuckled.

“At least if you do go into labour you’ve got people who know what to do around you.” Kyra shrugged.

“Not today though. Today is all about having fun.” Jackie said putting her sunglasses on.

The girls headed to the beach and set up in a spot, it took more than one person to fold the chair out for Victoria, she found it highly amusing.

She sat down and pulled out her magazine as the others hit the water, running towards the waves at a fast speed. Victoria wished she could join them in the water but she thought she’d be safer on the sand. One day she thought. Maybe with her two little ones.

She felt a flutter of kicks and rubbed her belly with a smile. “You two are very energetic today, just like your aunties. I hope you’re going to run towards the ocean as fast as them one day.”

Victoria smiled as she watched her friends splash about in the water. They were so excited when they found out Ethan and Victoria were expecting a baby and even more excited when they found out it was twins.

“Are you comfortable?” Sienna asked as she made her way over to Victoria.

“Yeah, I’ve got my magazine, the sun is shining. What’s not to like?” Victoria laughed.

Sienna sat down on the blanket they had laid out. “We just promised Ethan we’d look after you. He seemed a little nervous, especially as you are expecting twins.”

“Double the worry eh? I understand. It’s a lot. But I appreciate everyone looking out for me. For us.” Victoria rubbed her belly. “We are lucky.”

“Time for drinks!” Kyra grinned as her, Aurora and Jackie made their way out of the water.

“I’ll happily take the non-alcoholic version of a mimosa.” Victoria laughed.

“So just regular orange juice?” Jackie chuckled.

“4 months until I can go back to them.” Victoria grinned.

Aurora handed Victoria a glass. “I love how you’re counting down.”

“It’s been on my calendar since the day I found out.” Victoria laughed.

“I think it has been for some of us too.” Sienna said.

“Well that’s something to toast to!” Kyra held up her glass. “To the Ramsey twins!”

“The Ramsey twins!” The ladies clinked glasses.

There was so much to look forward to, the ladies couldn’t wait.

I won’t tag my usual tag list for this

If you have time, and feel like it, would you write the conversation between E&S about what she got up to in Vegas and/or the exclusive talk? Sounds like it would be juicy 🤭

What She Did In Vegas...

Book: Open Heart 2 (post-Vegas) Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x f!MC (Sadie Oakley) Other Characters: Jackie Varma, Bryce Lahela (mention) Words: 1253 Category: Angsty fluff Rating: Mature Warnings: No actual NSFW actions, but some NSFW conversation Summary: As soon as Sadie gets home from her trip to Las Vegas with the roomies, she feels compelled to ask Ethan about their relationship becoming exclusive. AO3 link here A/N: I am so sorry it took me so long to answer this! I hope you're still here and able to enjoy this fic🫶

I didn’t cheat. I did not cheat. Right? We never said we were exclusive. And besides, what happens in Vegas… is not going to stay in Vegas. I need to tell Ethan. 

Sadie’s leg bounced up and down as she sat on the edge of her bed, waiting for her phone to turn on. She had stupidly allowed it to die on the plane home and was finally able to charge it. As soon as it turned on she rushed to unlock it and opened her text messages.

Hey! I’m back in Boston, can we talk?

Sadie put her phone down and rubbed her hands down her face. She stood up and paced around the small room, biting her thumbnail. Oh God, what is he going to say? Is he going to know something is up? What if he doesn’t want to talk to me? What if he does and– Somehow, Sadie heard her phone buzz over her thoughts. She stopped pacing and stared at her phone from a distance for a bit before working up the courage to read the message.

I coincidentally have the day off. Do you want to come over?

Sadie took a shaky deep breath before sending her response.

Yeah, sounds great! See you soon 😘

Was that too flirty? I mean, we are dating, but is it going to stay that way after this conversation? No, I need to stop thinking about it and just get ready.

Trying to physically dissolve her anxiety, Sadie shook her head, before touching up her makeup and putting on her shoes and coat. 

“Where are you going?” Jackie asked from the kitchen as Sadie was walking to the door.

“Ethan’s.”

“I should’ve guessed.” Jackie smirked.

Sadie rolled her eyes. “Shut up.” 

The cool air whipped itself against Sadie’s skin as she opted to walk to Ethan’s instead of taking the bus or an Uber, hoping the fresh air would calm her. It… kind of worked. Unfortunately, it also left her with more time to pour over the anxious thoughts in her brain. God, I hope he’s not mad at me. We never said we were exclusive. I was in Vegas. Shit happens in Vegas. Surely, he’ll understand that. Right? Why did I do it though? I want to be exclusive with Ethan. I don’t need anybody but him. I mean, Jackie and Bryce were fun, but definitely a ‘what happens in Vegas’ kind of moment. I don’t need to do that again. I don’t even really want to. I just want Ethan.

Upon entering the lobby of Ethan’s apartment building, Sadie used the doorbell to get buzzed in. She took another deep breath as she entered the elevator. It’s going to be fine. He’s going to understand. He won’t be mad. Fuck. She knocked on the door, just hard enough for Ethan to hear. He came to the door quickly, smiling when he saw Sadie.

“Welcome back.” He kissed Sadie’s lips chastely, before she entered the apartment. She gently kicked her shoes off and sat on the couch next to Ethan. “Is there something specific you want to talk about or you were just wanting to see me?”

“Are we exclusive?” Sadie blurted.

“What?” Ethan asked, taken aback.

“Sorry, I just, um, do you want to be exclusive?” Sadie tried instead.

“I… do, but I didn’t want to push you too fast after.. anyway, why do you ask?” Ethan gently placed his hand on Sadie’s leg, encouraging her.

She took a deep breath before answering. Just tell him. “I… hooked up with… a couple people in Vegas.”

“A couple?” Ethan questioned nonjudgmentally.

“It was… Jackie and Bryce. But please don’t tell them that I told you! At least not that I told you it was them.”

“At the… same time?”

“Yes.” Sadie looked at the ground as Ethan struggled to find a response. “Are you upset?”

Ethan quickly responded, “No! No, I’m not upset. I understand.” Sadie’s anxiety lessened immensely as soon as she heard his reassurance. “We weren’t exclusive yet and you were in Vegas. I’m really not surprised you had a hook up. The fact that one of the people was Bryce, on the other hand…”

“Okay, hey!”

“I’m just saying I didn’t think he was your type.” Ethan shrugged. “I know you and Jackie have a history, but Bryce is a bit of a surprise.”

“Okay, fine, fair enough.” Sadie sighed. She felt like a weight had been lifted off her chest and she could finally breathe easily again. “Thank you for understanding. Mostly.”

“You’re welcome.” Ethan wraps his arms around Sadie, pulling her into a hug and placing a kiss to her forehead. Sadie instinctively snuggled into his chest more. 

“So, we’re exclusive now?” Sadie smiled into Ethan’s chest. God, I’ve wanted this for so long.

“Yes, honey.” Ethan smiled as well.

“Yay. I’m glad we had this conversation.” 

“Me too. But I think we should have another conversation now.”

Sadie stiffened as her anxiety returned and her heart started racing. Fuck, what does he want to talk about now? “What… conversation?” She asked slowly, breaking herself out of Ethan’s hold. Did I do something wrong?

“You had a threesome. Is that something you want to do again?” 

“Um, I’d be… open to it, but it’s not something I’d… actively seek out, I think.” Sadie looked at Ethan. “Why? Is it something you want to do? Is it something you have done?” 

Ethan laughed as he pulled Sadie’s legs over his own. “I… have. A long time ago. I think it’s something I’d need to think about more before deciding if it’s something I’d like to do again.” 

“Okay. That makes sense. Just let me know if you want to, then, ’kay?”

“Okay, baby.” Ethan leaned over and kissed Sadie’s mouth. “That is definitely something I can do.” Ethan placed his forehead against Sadie’s. “Thank you for telling me about your… activities in Vegas.”

“Of course,” Sadie said before Ethan could finish.

“Is there anything else you want to tell me about the trip?” Ethan quipped.

“No, nothing like that at least.” Sadie shook her head. There was definitely more to tell him, but not right now.

“Nothing about Panacea?”

“Oh. You heard about that.” Guess she was telling him now.

“A lot of people heard about that, sweetheart.” Ethan took Sadie’s hands in his to comfort her.

“No, I know, I just…” Sadie sighed. “It really wasn’t my idea or even really about me. I just – we all just – wanted to support Jackie. They really screwed her over, you know?”

“I understand. I think you did a really great thing and I’m proud of you. But you could’ve asked me to help, you know.”

“I know and if it was my problem I would have. But, like I said, it was more about Jackie, so I didn’t want to overstep her boundaries or anything.”

“Okay. I’m happy that you would feel comfortable coming to me for help if it was you.” 

“Of course I would. I know you have my best interests in mind.” Sadie smiled sweetly while looking Ethan in the eye. “Now, if we’re done with the mushy stuff I think we should celebrate our becoming exclusive.” She smirked.

“Oh? And what did you have in mind?” Ethan raised his eyebrows as Sadie stood up from the couch.

“Well, it’s not threesome, but I think we can still come up with something fun.” Sadie winked and walked to the bedroom, leaving her boyfriend to follow.

Just imagination. Ethan going all possessive over mc.

This is my first attempt to put something that ran through my mind about our dear Dr. Ramsey. Please do tell if there's any mistake.

POSSESSIVE MUCH.

#ethan × mc

After tiring day Elizabeth does not want to take rest. But her friends force her to go when Bryce comes to help her get home and stumble upon Ethan.

POSSESSIVE MUCH

"Lisa. You're going to get sick if you'll continue working non-stop. Go home get some rest." I heard Sienna from the other bed we are working on our patients.

Rain is pouring with it's earnest. And with this much rain there are more and more people sick with different causes. That's not much serious but still it's hard to avoid them when they come seeking for doctors they want to get treated from. I can't ignore them when I can help them with all I've got.

I remember the people back in my town who needed help, treatment, but couldn't get. I can still hear those words I said to my mother as a promise that one day I will be helping those who will seek treatment. And I won't back down even a bit. So that's what I will do.

"For fucks sake, Lisa we are all here. Just go and take rest woman." Jackie yelled from the calling booth.

"No......" Indeed I was denying a long and tiring yawn from me brought a angry scoff from Jackie. Sienna giggled.

"I am fine see. There are so many of them. I won't be able to rest even if I wanted to. Soooo........ Let me continue." I said wrapping up the BP measuring Sphygmomanometer (BP measuring machine name) from my patients hand.

"You are having a viral fever. Not that can count as serious. Please keep yourself out of social gatherings and places for some days. And take medication on time. It will be all okay in three days." I said to her with a smile squeezing her shoulder reassuring her.

"Thank you doctor. For a moment I thought I was having heart attack." She said with a saddening look.

"It's common conclusion to get to whenever you feel pain near your heart. But you should always concern with doctor first before taking any medicines. You made right decision. And see it turned out to be a normal viral fever. Probably atmosphere is the cause." I said.

"Yes. You are right. Thank you doctor." She said getting up, gathered her purse and left the room. I sighed with fatigue slowly making it's way on my senses now. I slumped back in my chair.

"And she says she's fine." Jackie said sarcastically.

"Missed me....." Bryce came in the room with his usual cheery tone and incredible cute smirk.

I still remember when I referred his smirk as cute he laughed uncontrollable saying I am the first girl who thinks his smirk is cute. He said he got compliments like sexy, hot, super hot but never cute. He is hot and handsome. But still his smirk is kind of cute makes him look like a college boy.

"Not for a second scalpel jockey." Jackie said putting phone down writing down something must be prescription of medicines.

"Your out? Not any new surgeries?" Sienna asked clearing her patient prescribing him medicine.

" Yup. I am out now. And what do you think you are still doing here Watson?" He said coming towards my table. He sat on the edge of the table facing me.

"Yeah. I am guess I am still visible so yes I am here." I said sarcastically. His smirk widened.

"Oh yeah. Let's get you out of here baby." He said walking towards me put hands on the arms of my chair and leaned forward.

"No I am fi......." I replied and couldn't finish what I was saying. He held my hand and tugged me to stand up. He held me by my waist.

"No you are not and I am taking you home." He said in a firm tone. My eyes widened "HOME".

We flirt, yes. We like each other, yes. But we haven't crossed any lines out of that innocent flirting yet. And I do not intend to either, atleast not with him. I have a very beautiful friendship with him and I don't want to lose it.

Dr. Ramsey is right. Working relationship can destroy personal relationship. And I don't want to lose that precious friendship I hd with him.

"Bryce seriously." I asked and slapped him on his chest to get his mind of gutter.

"What I didn't said anything, you always think of double meaning to anything I say." He witted back with same humor.

"Ha ha verry ffuu....." With that a big yawn escaped from my mouth.

"Enough with these jokes. You really need to take rest." Bryce said with a serious tone this time.

"He's right Lisa. One Ramsey is enough for us. From the way you are working like him. We are going to have to face to Ramsey." She said it with a joke to it.

But my mind wandered back to the possibility of what if I would become a Ramsey too. As in Mrs...... Un ha stop right there. Ethan strictly said no relationship between attanding and intern. And he goes by his rules very seriously. But still a girl can hope. Can't she?

"Are you already dreaming?" Bryce asked. We already were in the lobby just around Ethan's cabin.

"No. I was thinking about all of them. They need rest too." I lied but not totally I was worried about all of them too.

"They've rested Lisa in hospital. They are sending you home because they know you will not rest here enough." Bryce said tucking closer to him by my waist. And pinched my cheeks.

"Rookie. Dr. Lahela." And my heart skipped a beat and thousands of butterflies started fluttering around in my stomach. Ethan. He has that effect on me. Or I should say his mere voice has this wonderful effect on me.

I looked where he was standing one hand holding his glasses. And the other one holding his white coat. Even when he was clearly looking exhausted I felt my insides tingling. I stopped breathing for a fraction of second. Does I have this same effect on him? He must've had his share of women, more beautiful than me too. Do I make him feel this too what he makes me feel? A bitter emotion swirled inside my heart.

"Eth....... Dr. Ramsey." His name came out of my mouth due to pure habit before I could stop.

"Dr. Ramsey." Bryce acknowledged him too.

I saw Ethan's eyes drifting towards my waist where I guess was Bryce holding me. I saw his jaw clench and his hold on his coat tightening that his fingers turned white due to lack of blood. And just like that he masked his expressions with professionalism and took steps towards us.

Even though Bryce was taller than me. Ethan was bit taller than Bryce. I looked like teenage in front of him. I had to tilt my head back to look up at him. It felt kind of intense and cute at same time.

"You didn't rested." It was a statement not a question.

"I was just going to take her home." Bryce interrupted nudging me more closer to him.

Ethan pinched the bridge of the nose. Sighing and mumbling something like "dammit" and than composing himself. He stood taller and confident. Almost like daring me or Bryce into something.

"I can take her home. I have a case I need to decide to Dr. Watson." He said the first part looking towards Bryce and the last part looking towards.

I gulped with the intensity in his gaze. I've seen that before too. I was very well aware for the darkness that took over his iris. Suddenly I was tingling for toe to head.

"Oh! I guess she's all yours than. I'll see you tomorrow babe." Bryce backed up immediately. Vanishing around the corner after kissing me on the cheeks and smirking. I am very well aware from where that smirk came from.

"Shall we? Rookie?" Ethan asked raising a brow before putting his glasses back in their place.

"Uh yeah. Yeah sure." I said words suddenly disappeared.

We both walked towards his car. He opened the passengers door for me and get back up on drivers seat. He leaned back to put his coat in the back seat. He started the baby and we were on the road.

I saw the black bags under his eyes. He's working hard too. But tight now I was more curious about the case he's going to talk to me.

"So um, what is the case you were talking about?" I have doubt he made up that reason.

I know he respects Bryce but he's aware of how he never misses any chance to flirt with me. Ethan does not like that a bit. He says it's unethical between doctors, but I could see a whole lot of different reason behind it.

"Oh yes the case. Right." There I caught him. There's not any case he just didn't like the idea of me going home with Bryce. And salt on that wound he mostly didn't like Bryce hands on all over me.

"There's not any case is it? It was just pure jealousy." I said and his eyes shot up to me and his lips quirk up from the side. Which turned into a guilty smile which he hide behind a fake cough. I smirked I really caught him this time.

"He was all over you. I would call it possessive." Ethan said looking directly into my brown eyes with his blue ocean like eyes. Which turned into black like storms. Storms of all the enormous we were trying to fight. I cleared my throat diverted my eyes from him to forward on the road.

"So possessive much." I said. He just chuckled. And hummed.

He may say there's nothing that we can do about us. But his small gesture like this like I belong to him. Or he can't see me with someone. When he whisks me away just because he's possessive much.

TOLERATE IT

Book : Open Heart book 2

Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x mc(Diana Ramirez)

Rating : General Audience

Category : Angst

Warning : None

Summary: Left alone to her thoughts Diana(MC) rethinks her relationship with Ethan in the course of time.

A/N : So here's the song fic that I promised to write and @genevievemd here's your tag, this is my first time writing a song fic and I hope it is to your liking.

I sit and watch you reading with your head low

I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed

I sit and watch you

I notice everything you do or don’t do

You are so much older and wiser and I–

28th April, 2019, 4.30 a.m.

Two more hours.....

Exactly a hundred and twenty minutes more.....

And every thing goes back to as they were before Miami....

But is that still possible? Can there be any turning back from the precipice of the cliff that is the embrace of Ethan Ramsey? To Diana, this was the point from where one only tumbled down and further down. She took in the sleeping form of the man tangled in her sheets, she lets her gaze softly graze the features of Ethan's face, the sharp jawline, the slightly puffed lips, a reminder of their passion, the rise and fall of his chest and the lines of experience, softened at sleep, adorning his incredibly handsome face. Ethan must have felt her stare as he spoke groggily, "Rookie..."and then slung his arm on her, eyes still clossed in an all consuming sleep. Perhaps for two more hours she could pretend everything was just as she wanted and Diana drifted back to sleep in the safe space that was Ethan's arms.....

For two hours more.......

28th April, 2019, 8.30 a.m.

She was happy....

She had her medical licence back.....

She had a spot in the diagnostic team just as she dreamt.....

Yet was she? It has been two hours since her game of pretend with Ethan had ended, they were back to being an intern and an attending and now the interns had their rounds with "Dr. Ramsey", and she had to pretend last night never happened, she had to forego all the lingering touches and the scorching gazes. He made it seem easy when he asks her about her patient, but she can't. She finds it impossible to not stare at him when his eyebrows get all scrunched up when he reads the patient chart or the way he pinched the bridge of his nose, when someone annoyed him and it takes every fibre of her being to stop herself from reaching out to him and as she took her patient's chart from him, she could feel the warmth of his gaze on her and for an infinitesimal moment their gazes meet and his eyes soften for a fraction of a moment, which he quickly masks with his stoicism and clearing his throat he says, "Make sure that your first day back doesn't go wrong and all your patients are still alive and breathing at the end of the day. You will leave detailed notes on Mr. Goldstein's condition at my office before the day ends. Have I made myself clear Dr. Ramirez?"

She tries to pretend that it doesn't affect her, she tries to make herself believe that it doesn't break her heart into a million little pieces but she can't, yet she is nothing if not stubborn and she puts up that mask of an overwhelmed intern who is standing before her medical idol as she utters, even as everything inside her shatters in the blow of an immense heart break, "Yes, Dr. Ramsey"......

I greet you with a battle heroes welcome

I take all your indiscretions all in good fun….

1st July, 2019, 12.03 a.m.

Two months...

That's how long she hasn't seen or heard from him....

Her friends gushed about how brave he had been while fighting an epidemic at the Amazons....

But she knows that all this bravery was just a façade, just a show for hiding the coward that is Ethan Ramsey.

And he has the audacity to call her "Rookie", she should have just turned her back on him but she didn't, she welcomed him back like the hero everyone considered him to be, for she was weak, a little part of her still believed that they could reverse the time and find the connection which they had. She could hardly control her exultation when he invited her to stay past the last call with him, maybe, just maybe their two months apart had helped him to realise his feelings.....

But the fates were cruel, they sneered at her hopeful heart and they jeered at her when he said that she should consider them "reset", through her tear glazed eyes she could see her hopes being dashed into the dirt and as she ran out of donahues that night, she missed the blue eyes which shone with conflict between the heart and head, all of which was lost in the night that enveloped the two warring hearts......

While you were building other worlds, where was I?

Where’s that man who’d throw blankets over my barbed wire?

I made you my temple, my mural, my sky

Now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life

Drawing hearts in the byline....

12th July, 2019, 10.30 a.m.

Of all lives that could be complicated, for some wierd reason her's was the only complicated one she could find. Everything had spiralled out of control when she broke her own rules, when her heart decided to fall for the only man with whom she wasn't supposed to be. When the one person who didn't want anything to do with her was the one with whom she had to spend most of her working hours. When that very same man asked her to join him for a home visit to the Stevenson home overlooking Quincy bay and when without a moment's hesitation she said yes. She told herself that she was excited for the chance if learning something new from her "mentor", but she knew she wasn't being truthful, because her answer had little to do with the learning experience and had everything to do with the company and Diana hated herself for that. She and Ethan tried to make small talk while driving to the Stevensons' place but promptly they fell into silence, which was nothing like the comfortable silences they once shared in a different lifetime. Now the silence carried the burden of millions of unsaid words and feelings that bubbled under the surface, Diana found herself slipping into the confines of her memories of the days of her med school......

14th March 2014, John Hopkins University, Library, 9.30p.m.

All she wanted was to study for the class tomorrow.

Was that too much to ask for?

And all the other girls did was giggle and disrupt her peace

Most of her friends had gone out and she had happily stayed back her trusty copy of Diagnostic Principles by Dr. Ramsey keeping her company. That man was something of a God, the theories and explanations in the book far surpassed any other book that she could find. She could very well tell that Dr. Ramsey didn't consider medicine as just a profession but as a passion and she strived to be like him and train under him once her three years of residency began. Dr. Ramsey was something of a legend here at his alma mater, but his fame mostly was contributed by his good looks and not his academic achievements, when confronted to be attracted to Ramsey by his looks, Diana vowed not once to look her idol up in the internet and meet him when she attained her goal of getting her residency at Edenbrook.....

She would find him....

She would learn from him.....

And she would be the best diagnostician of her time.....

Back in the present

Our fate has this irritable habit of reminding us of the things we would never get...

Of the things that are just out there, taunting us....

Near enough to see and crave for it....

But far enough to never reach....

And as brown met the blues as Diana held on to him for dear life and their eyes never once left the magnetic trance of the other's eyes, she could see the longing and pain in his eyes, the lament of not reaching the manga that lay before him as divine providence and she knew that her eyes reflected the same conflicted emotions, on one hand she wanted this moment to last forever and on the other hand she wanted to run, far away where his gravity didn't influence her anymore – far away from the feel of his gaze, of his lips on her that once was pure heaven turned now into her personal hell of eternal damnation and suffering....

As the moment ended and they turned to sit on the edge of the bed, both could not help but be riddled with the overwhelming question of "What could have been?"......

Always taking up too much space or time

You assume I am fine, but what would you do if I–

Break free and leave us in ruins

Took this dagger in me and removed it

Gain the weight of you then lose it

Believe me, I could do it

If it’s all in my head tell me now

Tell me I have got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But you tolerate it.....

16th May 2020, 9.30 p.m.

Edenbrook had closed....

Her home - the place where she almost died - the place which gave her back her life - the place where she fell in love after guarding her heart for ten years - the place which tied her to the man she loved–Ethan– Boston.....she was leaving everything behind, she had received an offer from Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Centre at Chicago. She had been refraining from giving them a reply for Ethan's sake, after all this time of hiding emotions, he had finally given in to it..... but there always was a 'but' in their relationship, if you could call it that, she was scared of asking him about what exactly they were, she was scared that if she became too forward he would run away once again and she was confused about his actions. At times he would be caring and a man who is utterly and irrevocably in love and the next moment he would be cold and aloof, with him there was no gurantee of a future together but a promise of a tomorrow, he was a paradox, a riddle, a mystery which has not yet been solved completely. It frustrated Diana, she wanted clarity and confirmations but she couldn't hurt him. She wanted to run, like he did last time, wanted to see what he did if she broke free of the– the thing they had, would he hurt the same way she did? Would he realise that he loved her the way she did? Or was all of it something, that she had made up in her head? Something that was built on the foundation of a one-sided imagination–something that consumed every part of her being but hardly touched him? Something that wasn't meant to be at all.......

But could she ever fill the void in her heart that is Ethan Ramsey?

Could she ever think of another person without comparing them to him?

I sit and watch you.........

17th May,2020, 2.30a.m.

Diana sat with her laptop open before her, she had just sent her word to AIMMC, she had turned down their offer. Boston was her life now, Ethan was her future, no matter how hard he tried to tell her otherwise, she would have both her career and him in her life. Her brain had told her to run away but the heart has it's reasons of which reason knows nothing and she followed her heart.To Diana Ramirez, Ethan Ramsey was her destiny, fate, kismet, call it what you may and if she had to wait till the end of the time to reach him, she would and in all the realities that the universe could whip up, she would choose him everytime.......

A/N: A just for fun drabble, hope you enjoy it.

A/N: I am participating in this week’s @wackydrabbles Week #122. The prompt can be found below in bold. @choicesnovchallenge2021 : waiting: friend :

CHARACTERS BELONG TO PIXELBERRY STUDIOS

If you wish to be added or removed from tags, please let me know. Comments and reblogs always appreciated. 😊

They could hear the snow crunching under their feet as they made their way up a path toward a small chiminea in hopes of warming up.

“Put a chiminea around a bunch of Christmas trees. That’s a brilliant idea,” Jackie grumbled.

Sienna glanced up at her friend as she tried to keep pace with her.

“It’s a safe distance away, Jackie! This place has been here for over fifty years. I think they know what they’re doing.”

“I hope so. It would be nice if someone knew what they were doing today.”

Sienna glanced over her shoulder, her brow furrowing at Casey and Tobias in the distance, their arms flailing about them as they engaged in an animated debate.

“I really hope they’re not fighting over this.”

Jackie took a look back and scoffed. “Pfft! Please! They’re pretending to argue so we will walk away. This way, they can make out between the trees.”

“Jackie! That’s ridiculous!”

“No, it’s not. We are going to be at the chiminea ten, maybe fifteen minutes, and they’ll come back, all giddy and filled with sexual innuendo. Oh, and the end result? Whoever is most desperate to get home and get naked will cave in and agree to let the other pick the tree they wanted. You’ll see.”

“I bet you a hot chocolate you’re wrong.”

“Hot chocolate? What are we? Twelve? Next bar tab at Donahue’s, and I’ll take that bet.”

“You’re on!”

Fifteen minutes later, the two women stood jiggling with their hands held up to the chiminea. The feeling had returned to their toes and fingers, but warmth was still a few minutes away. Their heads both turned as they heard the sound of laughter approaching. Now the very picture of harmony, Casey and Tobias made their way down the snowy path. His arm was slung over her shoulder, and she gazed adoringly at him as he told a story.

“Casey caved,” Jackie smirked.

Sienna shook her head, “I think you’re wrong about all of it.”

“We’ll see.”

Casey viewed Jackie suspiciously as they approached, the smile on her face far too broad given their surroundings and not a drop of tequila in sight.

“Well, you two, what’s it going to be?”

“We’re getting the bigger tree,” Casey shrugged.

Sienna and Jackie exchanged a glance; Jackie’s smirk becoming more joyful by the moment.

“The bigger one. So, Tobias won.”

“Well, I wouldn’t use the word won, Jackie. I mean, it wasn’t a contest.”

“She caved, but he wants it as bad as she does,” Sienna whispered into Jackie’s ear. “This is not a clear win for you.”

“Sure. So give it ten minutes, and that innuendo I mentioned? It will be flying.”

“Are we tying the tree to the roof of the SUV?” Sienna asked.

“Nah,” Tobias answered assuredly, “we’ll be able to fit it in the back.”

“You do remember that we’re here too. We have to sit in the back seat.”

“Jackie,” he grinned, “how could anyone ever forget your presence. Of course, I know you’re here. It’ll work, trust me.”

Jackie bit her lip to stifle a giggle when she caught Casey rolling her eyes ever so slightly.

“If you say so, T.”

When they reached the vehicle, Jackie and Sienna climbed into the backseat as Casey helped Tobias lift the tree in the back.

“I don’t think this is going to work,” she whispered.

“Don’t worry, Case. It’ll be fine.”

Together they placed it inside, but the tree was about 3 inches too tall and, without turning down the back seat, there was no way it would fit. Casey’s shoulders dropped, and she let out a sigh, wordlessly glaring at Tobias.

Jackie did her best to contain her laughter. “And here’s where it gets interesting,” she whispered to Sienna, “because she only caved in hopes of getting home quicker. Now she realizes that may not work out that way after all. But she is desperate, so she will suggest a solution in three, two….”

“Hun, what if we just lean some of the branches over the seat? Between Sienna and Jackie?”

“Hey!” Jackie yelled, “I’m the one who wanted to pass on this whole winter wonderland expedition! You’re not putting the tree up in my face where a squirrel will jump out and attack me!”

“There is no squirrel in the tree, Jackie,” Sienna sighed.

“You don’t know that!”

“I think they’d be safe from the killer squirrel squad,” Tobias chuckled, “but I wouldn’t be able to see. We just have to get it in on an angle. Case, get in the back and pull the tree to the side when I push, OK?”

Unconvinced, she wordlessly hopped in the back, awaiting instructions.

“OK! One, two, three… pull.”

Casey pulled, and the tree budged less than an inch. She pursed her lips and turned to Tobias.

“Well, that didn’t work.”

“It’ll take more than one time, smartass. Again, on the count of three… one, two, three… pull.”

She pulled the tree again. This time it didn’t budge at all.

“Tobias!” She sighed, clearly flustered. “This isn’t going to work! It won’t fit!”

Knowing exactly why she was becoming so flustered, his lips twisted into a smirk.

“What did you say, baby?”

“I said, there is no way we can do this! It’s too big, it's not going to fit.”

“Now, hon. The last time you said that to me, things worked out just fine now, didn’t they?” he winked.

“That’s it!” Jackie yelled, jumping out of the back seat. “The T is just a five-minute walk. I’m out of here.”

“Wait, Jackie… what are you doing?” Casey asked.

“I’m taking the T home with Sienna. You two can push your big ass tree wherever you want to, and we don’t have to be grossed out listening to you two thirst over each other. Sienna, you coming?”

“Uh, yeah, I’ll be right there.”

“Guys, you really don’t have to go. We can go and get some rope to tie it….”

Jackie folded her arms across her chest and looked at her friend quizzically.

“Really, Casey? Because that will take some time, and I believe you’re on shift in… two hours. That’s not a lot of time, so do you want us to….”

“Jackie’s right,” Tobias interrupted. “If we have to go back, get rope, take the time to secure this to the roof, we will have just about enough time to get this tree into your apartment, and then… you’d have to go to work.”

“Don’t worry, we’re leaving,” Jackie said, pulling Sienna by the arm, “and Sienna and I are going to stop at Donahue’s… leaving you the apartment all to yourselves. Bye!”

“Donahue’s? You’re making me pay up, right now?” Sienna asked.

“You know, this season is all about presents, Si, and I am about all about the present. There is no time like it. So, pay up.”

Casey and Tobias watched as the two marched further and further away.

“But guys?” Casey yelled after them, “It’s cold! You don’t have to go… we could.….”

Tobias stood nearby. His hands were casually placed in his pockets as he rolled on the balls of his feet, chuckling at Casey’s feeble attempts to stop her friends.

“Casey, just let them go,” he grinned. “You clearly lost our bet.”

“I did not!”

He threw his arms around her waist as she playfully pretended to getaway.

“I told you if we went with my pick, not only would we have the obviously better tree, but I’d also have my way with you within the hour, and….”

“You were right!” She slouched.

“I don’t know why you’re so down; in this case, we’re both winners.”

“It’s just the principle of the thing! You were supposed to lose.”

“Uh, the bet was if I win, I get my way with you; if you win, you get your way with me… do you really think our thoughts on what to do aren't aligned?”

Casey’s cheeks turned red as she squirmed in his arms. “No,” she said sarcastically.

“Good,” he smiled, “Then let’s shove this tree in the car….”

“…and then we can get home and you can shov….”

“Ahh, Christmas tree lot, MacTavish… Children nearby… I love your ideas,” he said, slamming the trunk closed and pulling her close, “but save the verbalization for later. Deal?”

“Deal! But I’m not wearing the reindeer antlers.”

“Excuse me,” he winked, “I won the bet.”
