Callie and Mark were walking out of the hospital.
"So, do what to finish what we started yesterday?" she asked suggestively.
Mark stopped. "Or you could finish what you started," he said. Callie followed his gaze to Erica. She looked up at him. Did he know?
"I'm growing," Mark replied. She raised her eyebrows. "Go, get outa here."
Callie turned away from and started walking towards Erica. She licked her lips and mentally prepared herself. When she reached Erica, she a took a deep breath.
"Hey, I wanted to see if you wanted to grab a drink," she said. Erica barely acknowledged what she said.
"I can't find my keys," Erica mumbled.
"Maybe we could, um.." Callie began but stopped. "I have something I wanted to talk to you about."
"I had the damn keys this morning. I put them in this bag, but I can't remember. This whole thing with Yang has got me so messed up."
"Erica." The tone in Callie's voice made her look up.
"What?" Callie stared into her bright blue eyes.
"I'm saying something." Erica looked at her expectantly. "I just wanted to say…" Callie paused, trying to find the right words. "I just wanted to say…" She looked down at Erica's lips. Oh, screw it.
She leaned in, grabbed Erica's face and kissed her.
Erica was in shock, but no later than a second, began kissing Callie back. She cupped Callie's face and kissed her back wholeheartedly.
Their faces separated and they looked into each others' eyes. Then they closed their eyes and resumed kissing.
Erica pulled away. "Callie, are you sure you want this?"
Callie caressed Erica's face. "More sure than I've ever been." She kissed Erica's cheek. "Your place or mine?"
"I can't find my keys," Erica said.
"My place then."
"What about Yang? I thought she didn't want me there anymore."
"Trust me. She'll see it as a kiss-ass opportunity."
Callie woke up to an empty bed. She looked around for Erica and saw that the light was on in the bathroom and the shower was running.
She grabbed her robe from the closet and wrapped it around her naked body. She knocked on the bathroom door and opened it.
Erica was still in the shower, and Callie resisted the urge to join her. Instead, she wiped down the mirror with her sleeve.
She was shocked when she saw her reflection. There dozens of hickeys on her neck and shoulders. Her lips were red and plumped.
She turned on the faucet and splashed some water on her face. And when she looked up she saw Hahn's reflection in the mirror getting out of the shower and wrapping a towel around her body.
Hahn walked over and wrapped an arm around Callie's waist. "Wow, I did that?" she said indicating Callie's neck.
"Yeah, but I got you also," Callie said and turned to face Hahn. She dragged a finger down the woman's neck to the collarbone. She tapped the bright red hickey there. "You should have waited to take a shower. I could have joined you."
"You could have joined me when you walked in," Erica replied.
"Yeah, but you were already almost done," she pouted.
Erica leaned in and kissed Callie tenderly. Callie responded immediately and wrapped her arms around Erica's neck, pulling her in closer for a deeper kiss.
Erica broke the kiss. "How about I make it up to you by joining you in your shower?" she asked mischievously.
Callie responded by undoing her lover's towel and letting it drop to the floor. Then she took off her robe.
"I take that as a yes."
It was an hour before they were ready for work. Callie opened the bedroom door and peaked outside. Cristina was nowhere in sight.
"It's clear," she whispered to Erica.
"I don't know what you're so afraid of, it's Yang that should be scared of me, not you scared of Yang."
"She threatened to kick me out one time unless you let her scrub in."
"Oh, that's why you asked me."
"Yeah."
Callie tiptoed out of the bedroom and cautiously walked to the living room. Cristina was in the kitchen making coffee.
Callie was about to turn around when Cristina said, "I know Hahn is with you."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Then who else was moaning last night?"
"My porn video?"
"Nice try, I heard you two sneak in last night. I thought I told you she wasn't allowed over here anymore."
"I'd watch it, Yang. Your future is in my hand," Erica said walking into the kitchen.
"Since you refuse to teach me, you are not allowed in my apartment."
"I am still your superior, and Callie invited me."
"Well, she won't be inviting you anymore unless you want me to spread news of your relationship around the hospital."
"Do that and I will personally see that you never scrub in again."
"Guys, stop it." Callie stepped between the two. "Erica, we should go. We have rounds to make."
Callie grabbed Erica's arm and tugged her out the door.
