Author's Note: This fic is dedicated to a alissablue and lemondrop34 who helped me fine tune the plot on this thing. Thanks also to my lovely wife, stl29tide for reading it and telling me it was good. :D You ladies are awesome. This fic is the product of a bizarre turn of events which led to me getting my tooth removed by, and I'm not kidding, a dentist named Dr. Bang. It is not related to any of my other fics. This one stands alone. Oh, and before anyone asks - Chris Hughes does not exist in this fic. Any Hughes mentions will most likely be Bob or Casey. :D
Okay, lovlies. This is my last update until some time next week. I'll be gone from Friday - Sunday, and probably won't get to write again until the end of next week - but I also have a Big Bang deadline for Glee coming up next week as well - I will update as soon as I can. :D
“Dr. Oliver, do you have a minute?” Luke put step one of his plan into motion right away, cornering Reid after the meeting.
“What is it, Mr. Snyder?” Reid turned around. He seemed to be standing unnaturally close to Reid, and Reid fought the urge to step back. He refused to be intimidated by Luke.
“As you can see, I’ve decided to take a personal interest in the new wing.” Reid thought that Luke might have put some emphasis on “personal interest”, but figured maybe he was imagining things.
“What does that have to do with me?” Reid asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Well, you are the head of the department.” Luke gave him a smile, and Reid stared at him for a long moment.
“Fine, what do you want?”
“I was hoping that we could get together and go over some of your proposals.” Luke patted the folder he held in his arms.
“Let’s get something clear, Mr. Snyder.” Reid said after a moment. “I don’t like you.”
“Yeah, I got that,” Luke replied, annoyingly cheerful. “But I really want to work closely with you on this project.” Reid couldn’t help but stared at him again, his attention drawn to Luke’s mouth for a split second as Luke licked his lips.
“You don’t like me either,” Reid managed to get out. It almost seemed like…Reid shook his head to clear it.
“We can put our differences aside something this important, don’t you think?” Luke touched his arm briefly. “Why don’t I drop by tonight?”
Reid looked down at their joined flesh, and then back at Luke’s face.
“You know where I’m staying?” his voice came out higher pitched than he meant it to.
“Bob said you’re living with Katie,” Luke smiled again.
Where the hell had the angry guy from their last two interactions gone? Reid knew how to deal with him. He didn’t know what to make of this new Luke Snyder.
He didn’t like it at all.
“She’s my cousin, you know,” Luke added. “Through her marriage to Brad.”
“Of course she is.” Reid couldn’t resist commenting. “I swear this town could give classes on inbreeding.”
“I’m going to ignore that,” Luke told him, letting go of Reid’s arm. “I’ll see you tonight.”
Reid stared after him as Luke walked away.
What the hell was that?
*
Luke walked away from Reid, his heart pounding. He couldn’t believe he’d just done that, or that it had actually worked.
Tonight was going to be the night then. He would go over to Reid’s under the pretense of getting work done (and maybe they would do some work - Luke was finding himself fascinated by the Neuro wing and all it entailed), but if Reid offered to take him to bed, Luke would definitely not turn him down.
The thought of sex itself made him a little nervous - after all, he and Noah had hardly had a chance to get physical between the paralysis and Ameera showing up. Luke was probably the oldest virgin in town.
He drove home by route, almost without remembering how he got there. All he could think about was Reid.
When he got home, he flopped on the couch. After a moment, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed, putting it up to his ear.
“I’m about to do something insane,” he said the moment the phone was picked up.
“Going on a bender insane or just run-of-the-mill Oakdale insane?” his cousin Jade asked.
“Normal insane.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“Jade, I’m kinda freaking out here.”
“Okay, calm down,” She replied. “Tell me the whole story.” Everything came spilling out then. Luke held nothing back - he could always tell Jade any thing and she would never judge.
“Well, well, Luciano,” she said when he was done talking. “I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I like it.”
“Jade,” Luke whined. “You’re supposed to tell me not to do it.”
“Why would I do that? He sounds hot, and clearly knows what he’s doing - why wouldn’t you want a first time like that?”
“Shouldn’t I be in love?”
“Luke, you never know. He could be the one.” She paused. “Either way, you better call me in the morning with details.”
“Yeah, I’ll get right on that,” Luke let sarcasm drip into his voice.
“You better, Snyder,” Jade threatened. “I’ll keep calling you until you do.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Luke glanced at his watch. “I gotta go.”
“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do,” Jade laughed.
“Goodbye, Jade.” He hung up, biting his lip. Reid would be home by now.
It was time to go.
