#i can’t flirt or talk to men to save my life 😭

[sugarcoated-lame]

me nearly having a panic attack when a guy i’ve thought is cute for the last like year messages me on insta at 3 am

[riverstardis]

shock to the system:

oh that’s weird it does like the build up to the intro but then it cuts out?

oh sebastian grayling i forgot it was time for him

oh there we go there’s the intro

aww elle and dervla

lmaoo elle suggests putting the new f1 on dog sitting duty when he finally arrives and dylan’s like “do you think i’d trust an f1 to look after her?” sjskkf

alicia snuck out before cal woke up😬

elle asks ethan to mentor sebastian because she needs a “good reliable doctor” but says he’s too busy with a ctr review. dylan volunteers to mentor him… you may regret that bestie

elle’s like “but you’re a senior clinician?” since when did the seniors not have mentees?? maybe it depends on whether there are any (named) registrars actually there at the time? maybe it’s a registrar if possible like lily was rash’s mentor but like when paige joined there weren’t any registrars (technically there was matthew but he was paeds) so maybe that’s why she then got a consultant as a mentor? oh and archie was still off after being stabbed when mason started. and iirc alicia was initially meant to be bea’s mentor but ethan ended up taking over? idk how it actually works in real life though

cal bought alicia a toothbrush to keep at his to save her rushing off in the mornings and says he’s free tonight and she says she can’t because she’s washing her hair💀 jeez cal take a hint man

cal walks away looking so thoroughly traumatised that ethan asks him if he’s okay😭😭 he’s like “i’ve just been turned down…” and ethan goes “by a member of the opposite sex? no… WAIT do i hear the walls of jericho falliiing!!” DJSKFKKF

“so this is what it feels like? no wonder you prefer books to girls” 💀💀

ethan’s face falls so fast when he realises cal’s talking about alicia😭 though surely he was also there in the flat while alicia was there with cal?? i suppose he was probably already asleep when they got back, and i’m sure he’s used to cal bringing girls home at all hours

“she stayed over last night but she’s not playing ball today” “it’s not a game is it cal?” “see that’s where you’re wrong, little brother, it is all a game. and it’s a game i really like to win.” urgh🙄

sebastian’s so annoying

oh this actress played yaz’s mum in doctor who!

lmaoo robyn feels lightheaded and jacob catches her and sebastian’s like “hospitals change, nurses don’t” and makes like a drinking motion and jacob turns on him like “are you forgetting that i’m a nurse?”💀💀💀

cal keeps checking out his patient’s girlfriend and louise says to alicia that he’s like a dog on heat but that he doesn’t get that kind of reputation for nothing

cal implies that alicia’s jealous and she’s like “i’m the one who turned you down remember” he’s like “so you were turning me down” and she says it’s just not gonna happen is it “because you’re cal, the guy who sleeps with everyone, who flirts with patients’ girlfriends. men like you are the reason women don’t do relationships.” SJDKKFKG YESSS DRAG HIM

he’s like “wow. well maybe i’m like superman in reverse, take away the disguise and you’ll find clark kent” orrr she could go be with ethan and get clark kent without having to work through an arrogant disguise? she just goes “you wish mate” sjdkfkkf

cal’s clearly starting to actually like alicia at this point but like, if he just hadn’t slept with her in the first place when he knew full well she liked ethan not him he wouldn’t be in this situation would he?

oop cal saying alicia can keep believing that he’s the reason they wouldn’t work but really she would run a mile whoever he was. and asks her when was the last time she was serious about anybody😬

aww alicia’s mum rings her in tears about her dad and alicia’s crying by the end :( and ofc cal has to talk to her “turns out he’s just like every man in my life. but you know what, you’re right. maybe i am a bit messed up. but so would you be if you had two parents going at each others throats and a dad going through a mid life crisis.” “i’m sorry i wasn’t thinking” “yeah. so just do what you’re here to do and stop playing with my head, okay?” :(((

hmm was it sebastian saying “my dad’s gonna kill me” that made dylan consider giving him a second chance?

and then he immediately goes and resuscitates a patient with a dnr😭

ethan says he heard there was nearly a bit of an incident and alicia tells him that cal’s patient thought he was flirting with his girlfriend and ethan says it wouldn’t be the first time and alicia says to cut him some slack because he feels bad about it and ethan makes a jab at her sleeping with cal and says he has enough notches on his bedpost?! jesus christ that came out of fucking nowhere guess he’s hit his limit huh😭

yknow i’m not sure that’s even specifically because of his own feelings for alicia because he did a similar thing with lily when she slept with cal but he only saw lily as a friend, and it wouldn’t exactly fit with the fact that he willingly conceded his awards night ticket to cal because he “knew his place”. i think it’s more to do with him having a friend who he feels is on “his side” who can see through cal’s charm so he maybe feels betrayed when he feels like they’ve “fallen for it”. clearly that’s not healthy😭 get this man some therapy asap

aww seb finds dervla hurt :( he treats her in the staff room🥺

oop the patient’s girlfriend thinks cal and alicia are together and she say’s they’re not but it’s complicated and the gf is like “it’s only as complicated as you make it” and alicia immediately goes to speak to cal nooo bestie don’t listen to her she doesn’t know the full story! you don’t seriously think starting a relationship with someone while knowing full well you have feelings for his brother is going to be anything but complicated, do you?

cal suggests they just be messed up together😭

elle telling dylan how great sebastian was with dervla… maybe he should go be a vet instead of a human doctor?

ohh yeah it’s deffo the ‘arsehole dad’ card that’s winning dylan over

seb tries to hug dylan and dylan goes “there is no physical contact. ever. do you understand?” and seb says yes… dear reader, he did not, in fact, understand

i keep saying that cal must’ve known alicia liked ethan and i do think he did subconsciously at least but i think maybe he didn’t quite want to believe it or something which is why he doesn’t realise what he’s getting himself into? like i would not be surprised if he just couldn’t fathom the idea that any woman would pick ethan over him. the problem is that ethan couldn’t fathom that either😭

this is gonna be LONG and wattpad-y, so please strap yourselves in.

i started work at 8am today, with the intention to finish at 4pm. so i go about my day as usual, and then it hits 11am and my manager still hasn’t turned up so i’m thinking where the hell is he?

i sent him a text and HE WASNT RESPONDING 💀 cause normally he replies straight away so i was like… a little worried.

BUT NOT FOR LONG! he came into work at 12pm AND HE’S ALL SUITED AND BOOTED AND I WAS LOOKING AT HIM LIKE ???? why are you so overdressed????? and he looked at me and he goes “what are you doing? why aren’t you dressed?”

and i was like “dressed for what?” and he goes “we have an event starting at 3pm, didn’t i tell you this?” AND HE DIDN’T TELL ME OMG AND I WAS LIKE ‘WHOS WE???’ and he was stressing out and he says “i’m taking you with me as my plus one, it would be a good opportunity for you to network with other people and try and get some clients.”

in my head i was thinking ‘why didn’t you tell me this sooner?’ and i was stressing inside but it was all okay; my manager booked me an uber to take me back home so i can get dressed and look a little more… fancy 💀💀💀 AND PLEASE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DRESS WHEN IT COMES TO THESE EVENTS so i just threw on like a mint slip dress bc it’s the only close thing i have to fancy 💀 and i put some makeup on (idk how to do makeup to save my own life g).

ANYWAY, once i was done, i took an uber back to work and then from there my manager and i booked another uber to take us to venue AND AS SOON AS WE GOT THERE I WAS SURROUNDED BY OLD MEN IN SUITS AND OLD WOMEN IN FANCY ASS DRESSES I FELT SO OUT OF PLACE 😭 but it was fine bc my manager stayed with me the whole time.

And obviously we were at the event to promote our service and try and get clients and he says to me “i’m gonna flirt my through that group of ladies, see if they’re interested” and i was like go ahead, let’s see if you can win them over.

TURNS OUT HE DID WIN THEM OVER 💀💀💀 i was literally watching him make the women laugh n shit and i was like 🙄🙄🙄 but anyway, he came back to me with their phone numbers and i was calling him out for cheating bc he flirted to get their details, and he was like “you’re just jealous you’re not as charming as me” AND I WAS LIKE “OH IS THAT SO????”

he decided to make it a competition; whoever gets the most clients by the end of the night, wins and gets an extra PAID day off AND YK ME, I WANTED THAT DAY OFF so i literally left my manager and went to socialise and most of the people i spoke to only mentioned how i seemed too young to be at an event like this 💀💀💀

there were some people (predominately men) who were getting too comfortable with me 😭 some of them were charming yes, but if i wanted those clients and that day off, i had to flirt back 💀 (i can’t flirt, i probably embarrassed myself)

BUT THERE WAD THIS ONE GUY!! he was really nice BUT HE WAS GETTING REALLY UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL and lemme tell you… MY MANAGER JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE and said to the man “i don’t like the way you’re trying to sweet talk my employee” (obviously he said it in a light hearted way) and the man started laughing and he said “absolutely not, your employee is just a charmer”

ME? A CHARMER? WHO????? and my manager looks at me with like a small eyebrow raise and he looks at the man again and he goes “i’m afraid she’s already spoken for.”

IM SPOKEN FOR??? SINCE WHEN????? i was so confused but i knew it was just a tactic to stop the man from getting so close to me.

after a lot of forced small talk, i got a few numbers and email addresses and compared them to my managers list and obviously he got more phone numbers than i did 🙄

GUYS I HAVE A BIG STORYTIME TO TELL YOU ALL OMG IM SCREAMING

WAIT FOR ME I NEED TO GET HOME
