WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?
ONE
"Have you left yet?"
This was her third call to him in forty minutes so Owen knew she was up to something. He didn't know what they were doing tonight, but if he knew Cristina it was going to be something sexual. It was her day off and therefore she had a whole day to conjure up something. All Owen hoped was that it was nothing too strenuous as tonight especially, he was exhausted. It had been a long day; it had been a long week. He had a day off coming up and just wanted to make it until then. Every day that week he had slept at Cristina's, but the word sleep should be put in inverted commas, because they hadn't done much sleeping. Not that he had complained, but tonight he really just needed to relax and sleep for longer than two hours at a time.
He tried to change his plans with her for the night but she wasn't having any of it. Hence the rapid fire calls just as he was ending his shift. "I am practically walking out of the hospital doors now." He lied down the phone before clicking off his cell. He put the phone back in his jacket pocket, and this time, set about gathering his things to actually leave the building. He bumped into Callie in the corridor. She had her hand on the door of an on call room and was just about to push it to go in.
"Hey." He said. "You going home? I can wait for you if you want, save you walking alone."
"I'm staying at Arizona's tonight. " Callie replied. "Just getting my jacket, I left it in here. "
"Oh."
"Yeah, I'm under the orders of Cristina." Callie winked.
Owen shook his head and rolled his eyes.
"I think you are in for a treat tonight my friend."
"Aren't I always? " Owen pushed his hands in his pocket.
Callie smiled.
"I'm exhausted I really just want to get some sleep."
Callie pushed the door to the on call room, Owen eyed the beds inside they looked inviting. "Perhaps..." He said. "You could call her, call in sick for me."
Callie gave a laugh. "Goodnight Owen. Enjoy your night."
"Yeah." He Sighed.
