Who: Cho Chang and OPEN
When: Sunday Night
Where: Leaky Cauldron
What: Cho is not working. And loving it.

Sitting in the corner of the Leaky, away from everyone, Cho sipped a glass of wine and flipped through one of her romance novels. She was barely reading it, but it made her look busy and occupied. That was enough, really.

She spent all day talking to people and at the moment, Cho didn't want to talk to anyone. She was cranky and tired and really needed more than a day off at a time or she was going to start taking her anger out of the patients.

Tim was a bit bored, so he headed out. It was nice to be away from the hospital. He felt like he should have just slept in one of the beds there, he spent so much time on his ward.

He picked up a pint from the barman, and then turned to scan the room. He saw Cho, but she looked like she was reading something important. He took a second glance, though, and saw the cover. What on Earth?

He moved closer, trying to get a better look.

The cover featured a very tall man with bare chest and long hair blowing in the wind with his arms around a curvy and barely dressed young woman. It was like every other cover and Cho didn't notice them anymore, really. She flipped the pages now and then, reading a few paragraphs here and there.

Putting her book down for a moment, Cho reached for her glass and took a sip. It was then she saw Tim and barely managed not to roll her eyes. "Hello, Tim."

	"Hey." Tim stepped closer, giving her a bit of a grin. "What on Earth are you reading?" He asked, setting his drink down on her table. He wasn't going to sit unless she was in a warm mood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A book," she said dryly and turned it over to conceal the cover. Cho had heard enough teasing about her choice in reading materials and she wasn't in the mood for it that evening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim couldn't help but grin. Must've been something embarrassing if she turned it over so fast. "Right." He moved to slip into the seat opposite her. "What're you up to tonight, Chang?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cho didn't recall inviting Tim to sit down, but while she was bitchy and moody, Cho wasn't rude. She wasn't going to tell him to leave. "Nothing at all. I didn't feel like spending my evening at home and the last place in the world I want to be is at work, so here I am. It's not a very interesting story, is it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-08-26 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"It's very interesting." Tim said, breaking into a grin. "... no, it's a boring story. Sorry, I couldn't keep up that lie." He lifted his glass for another sip. "What're you drinking? Can I buy you another?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-08-26 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"White wine, please. And thank you." She told herself to be nice. To be polite and not be bitchy. It was hard for her sometimes, but she could do it. Cho opened her mouth to say something before realising that she had nothing to talk about. "I'm sorry. I'm not good at small talk." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim raised his hand to motion to the bartender to bring them both another round. He turned his attention back to her. "That's all right, I'm not either. We don't have to talk." He broke into a bit of a smirk. "You could read to me from that trashy romance novel." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-08-26 03:05 am UTC (link)
	"I am not going to read you any of it!" Cho managed a small smile, barely there before she quickly wiped it from her face. "If you want to read trashy books then you'll have to buy them yourself!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-08-26 03:11 am UTC (link)
	"You won't let me borrow one?" Tim kidded. He'd seen the little smile, and hoped she enjoyed the teasing--if only a little. "Please? If I promise not to crack the spine?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-08-26 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"Goodness, if you're that hard up." Cho rolled her eyes (a little less severely this time) and handed Tim the book. It was incredibly trashy and smutty and you didn't have to flip through many pages before finding a passage that would make you blush. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim opened the book, grinning evilly, and cleared his throat. "You don't mind if I...?" He turned his eyes down to the page, searched for the nearest naughty word, and began to read out loud. It was something about quivering thighs. He wasn't really paying attention to the words. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cho watched as he read, waiting for him to tease her. Really, she was use to it. As her wine arrived, Cho took another drink and felt herself relax a bit. "I hate you," she said with a smile. "I really do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim finally closed the novel and set it down, then slid it across the table to her. He was grinning brightly. "I know you do." He lifted his glass for a sip. "Beats the hell outta small talk." He couldn't help getting a little excited at the book, though. Glad there was a table covering his lap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shaking her head, Cho picked up the book and put it into her bag. She had never had someone else read one of her books outloud before and had to admit it made things a bit.. different. Better to stash the book then continue down that path. "Except now you're always going to think of me as the nurse who reads trash," she pointed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-08-26 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	Tim was grinning. "At least you're the pretty nurse who reads trash." He held up his glass. "Cheers." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-08-26 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Somehow that doesn't make me feel better you know. Couldn't you at least think of me as the smart nurse who reads trash?" Cho took another sip from her drink before smiling. "Okay, the smart and pretty nurse who reads trash." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-08-26 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	"The incredibly gorgeous, talented, witty, beautiful, smart, wonderful and marvelous nurse who reads romance novels." Tim said, giving a nod. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Much better," she said with a laugh. Yes. A laught. Cho didn't laugh often, but when she did it was a sight to see. Her face lit up into a smile and her laughter was light and sweet. She looked years younger when she was happy. "I'm going to demand you call me that anytime you need something at work." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-08-26 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Tim enjoyed the laugh. Very much. He watched her face light up and it actually warmed him from the inside. Or was that the beer? "Far be it from me to ignore a gorgeous, talented, witty, beautiful, smart, wonderful and marvelous nurse's demands." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-08-27 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"Well if that's the case, I think we need another round. In fact. I demand it!" Cho was constantly smiling now. She wasn't the bitter ice queen she was at work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim gave a laugh. "Yes, Ma'am!" He saluted her, then turned to flag down the bartender again for another round. "I can't say no to another drink. Well, maybe after this next one I probably should." (Reply to this) (Parent)
