Standing in the small scrub room Callie rolled her shoulders hearing the door slide open she looked up and smiled as Erica walked through it. "Hi."

"Hey." Callie's eyes stayed trained on Erica's hands as she moved them under the flow of water. She knew what those hands could do, they where just as skilled out of the OR as in.

Leaning back against the scrub sink Callie let her eyes move over Erica's body as she dried her hands. "I need to tell you something and I need you to promise you won't get mad."

Turning her head to meet Callie's eyes the older woman gave a small smile knowing what was coming and fighting her natural urge to run. "I can't promise that Callie."

Taking a deep breath Callie licked her lips. "I slept with Mark. I've been sleeping with Mark." Feeling her eyes start to fill with tears she looked away not wanting to see the pain she had caused in the blonde's eyes.

Letting out a small laugh Erica raised her hand to Callie neck ignoring the way the younger woman flinched. "I know." Pushing the neck of Callie's scrub top to one side Erica ran her fingers slowly over the small bite mark that lay at the base of Callie's neck. "I didn't give you that."

Gasping Callie covered her mouth with her own hand as Erica's fell away. "I … I …" Swallowing hard Callie whispered. "You knew … and we. How could you … How can you stand to have me anywhere near you?"

"Because …" Sighing Erica took a step back. "I don't know Callie. Maybe … maybe I'm hoping that one morning you'll wake up with me and realise you're happy and you won't want to go running to him. Or that I will be so good you don't need him to satisfy you."

Shaking her franticly Callie took a step closer. "It's not like that. Erica. Please. I .."

"What Callie?"

"I .." Licking her lips Callie suddenly wished they where in Joe's so she could do this with a large drink inside her. "I can't give myself fully to you, to either of you." Seeing Erica's raised eyebrow Callie quickly continued. "Not that I want to. With him. I don't want a relationship with Mark. I want a relationship with a fully committed real none freaking out relationship." Pausing she looked over to the other woman. "And you're not saying anything. Ok I should just go."

Reaching Erica so their right shoulders where touching Callie turned her dark eyes meeting tearful blue ones. Reaching out Erica placed her hand on Callie's waist. "Why did you tell me about Sloan?"

"I needed you to know. I need to be honest with you."

"Ok." Feeling Erica's hand slide off her Callie sighed and walked out of the door.
