Still Erica was not ready to identify herself as a lesbian. This relationship felt good but would it last, or was it just something to do to pass the time? True she was no experimenter and neither was Callie, but to close herself off from men forever was not something she was willing to sign off on. Not yet anyway.
Part 2
After her afternoon surgery, Erica headed home early to prepare a nice dinner for Callie. They usually dined out , but tonight Erica wanted to surprise Callie when she came over. As she was getting in her car, Erica saw Callie and Mark pulling out of the parking lot. Erica had no idea why she felt the need to follow them, but her instincts kicked in and she followed at a safe distance.
Part 3
Erica was devastated. Mark drove Callie back to her place and the two of them had been inside for the past 2 hours. Erica was smart. She knew they were not inside playing pinochle. The giddy way Callie hung on to Mark as they had gotten out of the car earlier was testament to that. ⌠Do not cry, do not cry■, Erica whispered to herself as she waited for one or both of them to reappear.
Just then Sloan came out of the house with that obnoxious smirk Erica loathed, plastered on his face. As soon as he pulled off Erica stormed out of her car to Callie's front door.
⌠Mark did you forget something...■, Callie opened the door looking like a woman who had been ravished all afternoon and ready to be ravished some more..
⌠Sorry to disappoint you. It's just the woman you've been seeing for the past several weeks wondering what in the hell is going on"?, Erica lashed out angrily.
⌠E., I can explain... Callie said in a small voice, ushering Erica into the house before she made a huge scene in front of her new neighbors.
⌠Explain what? That you like to have your cake and eat it too. Please, save it. We both knew our getting together was a mistake. You weren't ready for this and neither was I frankly. You saved me the trouble of having to call things off with you■.
⌠But Erica...■ ⌠Save it Callie. Thanks for reminding me what a disappointment most people are!
⌠ Erica I like you. A lot. But I like men too. I can't just turn that off like a switch■, Callie said defensively.
⌠ So that gives you the right to cheat on me, lead me on...■
⌠No. Can I ask you something? And I want you to be honest with me.
⌠What is it■?
⌠Can you honestly say I do it for you? That you never think of men in a sexual way even in our most intimate moments together■?. Erica was taken aback. This bitch was actually attempting to turn the tables on her!
⌠I am not going to lie. I am very attracted to men, but since I've been seeing you I haven't acted on it■.
⌠If given the chance , would you■?
Erica wanted to slap her.
⌠Seriously Erica. Would you■?
⌠I don't know■. Erica was being honest. She did not know.
⌠Test my theory. Let's have that threesome with Mark Sloan. If you do it and enjoy it, then we can explore the possibilities of an open sexual relationship where we both can have our cake and eat it too■.
Erica could not believe she was actually standing here listening to this drivel. Yet the possibility of finding out if Sloan's bedroom prowess was all it was built up to be or just something of legend was giving Erica a tingly feeling.
After what seemed like the longest pause in the history of pauses, Erica finally replied.
⌠Okay, let's test this theory of yours■.
