Hello... The full version of this chapter can be found in the private chapters... Happy reading
It was hard to find something to get Kevin but I finally managed to come up with what I thought would be the perfect gift for him... with the help of Hannah whom I might add kept bashing my gift choices.
It was a hustle getting everything ready on such short notice but it was worth it. On the morning of his birthday I wished him a happy birthday and got ready for work. I had plans for us in the evening but I decided to do the present giving over lunch
I left early in order to meet up with him. He couldn't go far so we sat on the benches outside the hospital. Deep down I was anxious to know how he would feel about the gift I got him on short notice.
"Hello"
"Hey" he greeted taking a sip of his coffee and handing me mine
It was pretty cold outside and I would have loved to be cacooned in the warmth of my blankets but as today would have it... I couldn't
"Okay, I know you don't have much time so I'll get straight to the point" I lifted the beautifully wrapped box from beside the bench and placed it between us "Happy Birthday"
He looked at the box and then back up at me
"Open it" I coaxed
He put the box on his lap and carefully unwrapped it as if trying not to damage the wrapping too much. It was weird how we spent hours trying to wrap up a gift just to have it torn up seconds after the recipient had it
He opened the box and grinned taking out his own customalised embroidered lab coat with the words Dr Kevin Conway written on the front
"Do you like it?" I asked when he didn't say anything
"I love it. My own personal lab coat"
"Yes and it gets even better because it has a touch of me on the inside" I said pointing at the emboidery on the tag by the colar
He squinted his eyes "BVO. What does that stand for?"
"Bridgets very own"
"Marking your teritory"
"Exactly" I smiled playfully
He checked the rest of the contents of the box and pulled out a black leather jacket and a coffee thermos
"Hannah didn't like the idea of a thermos but I went ahead and got one"
I remember her telling me that she didn't think it was necessary but I really liked the idea of it so I got it anyways
"Do you like the gift?"
"I do. Especially the fact that you had them embroidered. Wait did you do that to the jacket too?"
"No. Only the flask and the labcoat"
I thought of getting him a scrub jacket but then I wanted him to have something he could wear outside the hospital and I fell in love with the leather jacket when I saw it
"Thank you. You know you didn't have to do this right?"
"I wanted to and we have plans this evening"
"Plans?"
"Yeah. We are having dinner at a cute little restaurant I've had my eye on for sometime"
I looked at my watch and I had to leave now if I was going to make it to class in time
"I have to go now but I'll see you at dinner"
I leaned in give him a quick kiss but he cupped my face and deepened it only breaking off when we both needed air
