âSHE WASNâT A WORK OF ART, I MEAN, HOW COULD SHE BE? SHE WAS TOO COMPLICATED AND SHARP TO BE LOCKED AWAY IN SOME FRAME OR BOOK. SHE WAS MESSY AND TOO FAR GONE TO BE [ CONTAINED ].â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Irina. 26. Surgical Resident. Dog lover & nutella enthusiast.
âBut popcorn and M&Ms? Cmon I was expecting like at least a burger. Good, I havenât seen you a minute and Itâs beauty to my eyes when I see you scarf down some food.â He grinned as he approached her, putting an arm around her shoulder. âYour favorite place?â
âwell, thatâs because i had a burger yesterday.â even though irina was trying to hold back, she couldnât help but let a soft giggle escape from her lips. âthatâs what you missed about me?â she teased, playfully poking him with her elbow. âyou got it!â
âi do agree with you. thatâs poor life choices. if you craved something sweet, you shouldâve told me. we couldâve gone to this pastries shop. they sell the best macaroons.â
âoh, damn. iâm just forewarning you, though. that only stopped me from craving chocolate for the next...two to three hours. so, iâd love to taste those macaroons, if you are still up for it.â
   âhm ââ- thatâs certainly not the only poor life choice youâve made.â xiomara stated, her eyes immediately dropping to focus on the otherâs footwear.
irinaâs gaze followed the brunetteâs and a loud gasp escaped from her lips. âoh, come on. itâs not like i can wear stilettos during my surgeries. at least iâm not wearing crocs.â
â how is it that youâre even alive right now ? iâm not health guru or nutritionists, you will never catch me in scrubs, but seriously thatâs not smart. chocolate isnât all that good for your body and you arenât young enough to blame acne on your age. â
âgood immune system and excellent metabolism, i guess. come on, it doesnât hurt when you eat like that once in...three days, right? wait - what? i have acne? please tell me you are joking.â
wes always feared talking to strangers but had always been a sucker for pretty faces, especially ones that were actually talking to him âare you kidding me?â he allowed a smile to form on his lips as he spoke, âI would kill to make poor life choices if it meant i could eat m&ms for lunch.â
the expression didnât falter in irinaâs features, a playful smirk proudly spreading on her lips, before replying back. âwanna make a poor life choice right now? i have some left. but you have to keep this a secret,because as a doctor, iâm supposed to be the good example and all that jazz.â
â â§.  â sweet & salty ? ââ ⌠i donât find it to be too QUESTIONABLE ! well, given i have eaten an entire chocolate cake in one sitting, chardonnay in one hand & fork in the other. however, the placement of the vending machine can be. â
âyou have to admit, though. it is the weirdest combinations that actually are the most delicious in the end. truth be told, iâd do anything for a glass of chardonnay right now. not drinking on the job is not very f u n. well, you would expect something better from the vending machine of a hospital thatâs located on the upper east side. iâm not asking for smoked salmon, but still.âÂ
As the woman spoke, he couldnât help but let his jaw droop down for dramatic purposes. âThat sounds bomb as fuck, thatâs not poor life choices. Thats some good livinâ.â Theo responded with a grin planted on his face.
irina let a string of giggles escape from her mouth and she nodded in agreement. âthank you, thatâs what i keep saying but everyone still looks down on me.â she complained with a small pout, before offering him a piece of her treat. âcome on, taste it and tell if thatâs not delicious.â
âReally? I was expecting something more - fulfilling. How about I go take you out to sushi? Thatâll fill your little tummy up.â He smiled.
âbelieve me, you and me both. but desperate times call for desperate measures and i didnât have enough time inbetween surgeries. sushi? you are killing me. you know i canât say no to that...â her voice trailed off, a soft chuckle making its appearance on her lips.
âI mean itâs more of some type of diabetes but I think thatâs what the doctor wants us to eat for us to keep coming back⌠Well was it at least good?â
âthatâs a brilliant idea, actually. from now on, iâm going to tell all my cute patients to eat that so theyâll come back to me. it was perfect. you should try it, too! and you know, if something goes wrong, thatâs why iâm here.â
âi definitely did not want to know that. that sounds absolutely disgusting. was there even a point to it? donât tell me youâre like trying to make some documentary where you try to live like the poor or something equally stupid.â
âwell, if you think about it, popcorn has salt which results in balancing my low pressure and chocolate gives me just enough energy to go on with my shift. see? itâs not that bad of a combination. no, not even close. i lived like that when i was younger and i would never go back.â
    â okay, first of all, i donât recall ever agreeing to you sharing with me what kind of cheap, greasy third world snack you had for lunch, and second of all, thatâs honestly the most disgusting thing iâve ever heard today. â  she knew this girl. okay, she didnât know her but she has seen her and, at risk of souding creepy, she scrutinized her from afar.
âmy apologies, princess. i just donât have much time to enjoy a filet mignon, since iâm too busy saving peopleâs lives. please, try not to get sick. that glitter of yours thatâs now stuck on my scrubs is enough.â it didnât take much for irinaâs blood to boil. after all, she was often told that she had a temper. but this girl? she was playing with fire.
â wanna know what i had for lunch today ? ââ popcorn mixed with m&ms, courtesy of the vending machine. i mean, if that isnât considered as a poor life choice, i donât know what is ! â
whatâs good, peeps ? my name is vera, iâm 20 & a computer science major & iâll be playing dr. babe irina luddington. iâm the queen of trashy intro posts, but here it is anyway & i hope you all like my lil nerdy gal â also feel free to hmu since iâm a hoe for plotting , ( or just to chat tbh) or like this post and iâll send you a message !
â ¡ Ë . ⌠. Ë { LINDSEY MORGAN, 26, SHE/HER } spotted! IRINA LUDDINGTON making their way down the streets of the ues. the CISFEMALE is currently a SURGICAL RESIDENT. though everyone knows them for being FOCUSED & DETERMINED, gossip girl says they could be RECKLESS & IMPATIENT. only the page six slasher knows that SHE KILLED HER FATHER WHEN HE TRIED TO BEAT HER UP, but that could be a rumor.
irina is a very organised, put together, no-nonsense person. sheâs very ambitious and strives for perfection in everything that she does â but this need to be the best and to be perfect came out of being raised in a broken home, and a desire to better her life.
born in brooklyn, her father was a drug dealer, involved in the distribution of methamphetamine. she watched him go to jail for it at the age of eight, who was constantly in and out throughout her life with no real thought for his family. she was left with her struggling mother who worked two jobs.
during the periods in which her father wasnât incarcerated, he was often emotionally abusive â brought on by alcohol and his dark past that heâd only dare let out between vodka shots and bloodied fists. irina still remembers the holes in the walls, and the broken furniture. even more so, the sounds of broken glass and shouting that resonated through the walls that sheâd imagine were aliens or monsters invading her home. it was easier to cope with than the truth.
as a kid she used to read books to escape â medical encyclopedias and journals as it stole all of her attention. irina knew from a young age that she wanted to help peopleâs lives and by becoming a surgeon later on, she gave truth to her word.
due to her little means and financial troubles growing up, irina learned how important it was to be a hard worker, and always dreamed of having expensive things and a beautiful home growing up â unfortunately this led her to become very materialistic.
all in all, the only way to properly describe irina would be to call her a paradox wrapped in an oxymoron, detailed with a riddle. no one has ever managed to get close enough to her to figure her out.
if you were to put her music on shuffle itâd probably go from britney spears to abba to kanye west really quick.
she is bossy, tactical, calculated&straightforward&wonât sugarcoat anything BUT she can be friendly & funny too, i promise.
she has a black belt (expert 5) in krav maga.
extra:
a huge foodie ! loves trying new recipes, going out to eat, cooking, and more.
she absolutely loves the outdoors as well. any kind of greeny, or forest or lake has her popping a huge nature high. the way to her heart? long headass walks through the woods on a starry night.
