Revived Excerpt

“Earth to Marley!  Dr. Banks?  Hello!?”
Her voice is getting louder.  I had better acknowledge her or who knows what she may do.  “What?”
“I asked if you wanted to go for drinks Saturday.  A few of us are going out.  Thought I would invite you...”
Saturday…  Saturday?  Do I have plans Saturday?  I don’t, except checking in at the hospital.  I am not even on call, so checking in at the hospital is only because I choose to.  I could get out of it.  And of course she knows my on call schedule.  Shit, I need a better excuse and some way of stalling her while I come up with that excuse.
“Oh, I am sure Dr. Banks is booked up for Saturday Ella, she couldn’t possibly want to slum it with us.”
I groan inwardly.  He always seems to show up at the wrong times.  Well, I think any time he is around is the wrong time, so he doesn’t have much hope.  I know what everyone says about me. I know that everyone knows that I don’t get out of the house much, except to come here, so he is trying to piss me off.  Sadly, after today, it’s working, and my ability to deal with him is on its last limb.  So there goes my filter right out the window.
“Oh, Dr. Beckett?  You are going to be there?  I do like a good game of guess the tramp, so I’d love to go.”  I smile up at him as sweetly as I can muster.  Everyone is watching and waiting to see who will win this round.  
“Guess the tramp?” he asks, somewhat amused, that damned smirk starting to surface.
“Oh, yeah.  We love to figure out who you will drag back to your cave and demean for your own pleasure, then kick to the curb and take their self-respect with you.”  Point to Marley!
He laughs a deep laugh, then leans on the table right next to me.  
I can smell him and a hint of perfume, which makes me want to gag.  I bet it’s the perfume from the resident this morning.  I won’t back down from him this time, though.  He has tried to push me down and it usually works, but, today, I have decided to be stronger.  At least, in the last few minutes, I have decided to be stronger.  So I will hold my head up high.  
I turn to meet his gaze and watch his eyes widen as he sees the challenge in them.  We stare at each other for a while, each one of us seeing who will cave first.  I see his eyes change right before he plays his card and know I have officially lost this round, too.  
“Oh, you don’t get it.  It is never just about my pleasure; I make sure she is very satisfied.”  He winks, then turns to walk away, not getting to the end of the table before he turns around and catches me gaping at him.  “See you Saturday Dr. Banks.”
Shit.  Asshole-2, Marley-0.
