If he wanted to be trained then she'd do that too, but his attitude clearly stated that he wasn't here to learn.

The only thing it was accomplishing was giving her a headache. Every five minutes he seemed to be hitting on her, but only when Eric was around.

It was pretty obvious to her at least that Greg hadn't appreciated being put in his place and was trying to use her to piss Eric off. In Eric's defense, Greg really did seem to be going out of his way to piss him off. She really wasn't sure she'd be able to tolerate this little pissing contest for that long. Not a good sign when she still had fourteen more hours to go before her shift ended. Their shift only began two hours ago but already she wanted to bitch slap them both. 'Let me get that for you, Joe,' Greg said, reaching past her to pay the cashier when Eric stepped in front of him, forcing the man back and making Joe wish that she banged out today. 'You really are a cheap bastard,' he thought he heard her say, but decided to ignore it and the bastard laughing at him. 'I'm not buying you breakfast for that, smart ass!' The admission pleased him until she added, 'I was drunk.' 'I'm not desperate!' Joe yelled from the front of the truck. 'Nah, I'm just shocked that Joe became that desperate that's all,' Teddy said, sounding amused and he had to wonder how many times today he was going to hear that. Is there a problem with that?' he asked in a bored tone. 'I heard lots of things, but I was referring to you finally manning up and going for it.' 'Depends on what you heard,' he said, climbing in the back of the ambulance and double checking the oxygen levels. 'Is it true what I heard about you and Joe?' Teddy asked. O'Malley's bakery ran a two for one deal on coffee rolls every Tuesday so he supposed he'd get her one. He supposed since he loved her that he could spoil her a little. As Joe walked past him she muttered a few unkind words about his ego, but he let it go since he knew she was just pissed off that he had to handle the prick for her.īy the time he bought her breakfast, and apparently since it was his fault that she couldn't grab a bite to eat before they left for work this morning he was treating, she'd forgive him. The man hadn't been here a month and he was already adopting Teddy's work ethic. With a glare in his direction Greg moved his ass and he knew he was going to have to double check everything afterwards. 'Get in there and start checking out the truck.' He tossed Joe the keys as he gestured to the ambulance. If he thought that Teddy was going to put himself out for him he was mistaken. He shot a look to Teddy who of course kept his mouth shut. Grounding his jaw, Greg reached into his pocket and handed the keys over.
