It was clear to everybody in Miami Trauma 1 that Eva and Chris were made for each other. Their witty banter and flirty comments made it obvious to them all that they both had feelings for each other, well, obvious to everybody but each other. They were both just too stubborn to admit it. They were both perfect for each other, Chris kept Eva grounded, not letting her get too wrapped up in her work and forgetting about the real world, and Eva encouraged Chris, always pushing him to do as well as he can. It was a match made in Heaven.

It had just gotten to the end of a very stressful shift for Alpha Team, Dr. Rayner had disappeared in a whirl of bare flesh and confusion, leaving Alpha Team without a leader. Eva was quick to fill the spot, along with Chris. Together they made a good team. At the end of their shift, the two of them, along with Dr.'s Serena Warren and Matthew Proctor, the new addition to their little team headed over to the Crab Shack, their usual bar. Chris, Serena, and their Head Nurse, Tuck Brody, were all sat around a table, listening to a story that Proctor was telling them, about how in Kuwait, they were all desperate for a drink, they made martini's in empty IV bags.

"Well if you think Kuwait made you desperate, try working with Chris for 3 years" Eva's voice rang out as she took a seat at the table

"ohhh haha, look what the cat dragged in" Chris retaliated smirking at the Cuban.

"Oh bite me cowboy" She giggled, taking a mouthful of her drink.

Proctor had sensed the sexual tension between the two and leant closer to Serena,

"So how long have those two been dating?" He whispered in her ear. Serena who was taking a swig of her drink at that precise moment of time, chocked and spat it out, all over Eva, who sent a glare her way. She leant over to Proctor and whispered back,

"They're not" He looked at her incredulously and she giggled. Eva looked over at her, giving her a questioning look. Serena shook her head and leant back to Proctor

"There's a bet going on, which one of them is going to admit their feelings first and when they're finally going to get together". She giggled slightly and then stood up, claiming she was going to buy the next round.

Proctor and Tuck had also gotten up, trying to beat her to the bar.

"Is it my imagination, or did everybody scatter?" Eva laughed, trying hard not to look at Chris for too long, fully knowing the effect that he had on her.

"I don't know, maybe they think we're sleeping together" He laughed, trying not to sound too eager or excited about the fact that the others had left them alone. She took in a sharp breath, trying not to blush and make it too obvious to Chris that she had feelings or him. She started telling him about how Proctor got Rayner's job, trying to hide the fact that she was obviously disappointed, she had hoped that she would get his position. She definitely deserved it, she was the youngest female Trauma surgeon ever, not to mention she was one of the best at her job.

Chris noticed that she was upset about the fact she didn't get the job and grabbed her hand which was previously leaning on the table. He tried to ignore the spark that occurred when his skin touched hers, focusing on trying to make her feel better.

"If I had my way, you would be chief, You deserve it Eva, you work harder than anyone here. I feel like if we all didn't force you to take breaks or actually go home at the end of your shift, you would be in the surgery 24/7. You've earned it, you would make a great Chief" He starting stroking his thumb over the skin of her hand, in a comforting way.

"Well if I was chief, you would be the first person I want on my team" She smiled at him, trying hard to ignore the butterflies in her stomach, which appeared the moment he grabbed her hand. Nobody said anything for the next few minutes, just enjoying each others company. Meanwhile, the others were stood at the bar, gazing over at the couple at the table.

"Are they seriously not dating?!" Proctor asked Tuck and Serena. They both nodded glumly. They both thought that they would make such a cute couple, plus Eva would make sure that their relationship wouldn't get in the way of their work.

"We should probably get back before they start worrying we abandoned them" Tuck chuckled. Serena doubted that they would care if they did leave but followed the two guys anyway.

When they approached the table, Chris was still holding Eva's hands and they were both staring into each others eyes. Tuck cleared his throat, causing the two to jump apart from each other, going a bright shade of red. Eva turned her focus onto her drink, whereas Chris took a sudden interest in his shoes. Serena sensed that it was awkward for the both of them so came to their rescue, starting up a conversation about Rayner, and his exit. Eva sent her a look of appreciation and Chris just sent her a quick, thankful smile.

She had to catch herself before she could roll her eyes, aware of Eva's eyes on her. Those two really needed to sort themselves out. It's so obvious that they like each other. She had $100 on the line that they would start dating within the next two months, and she was determined to see it happen.
