Gillian hadn't seen Amelia all the rest of the day and she couldn't wait for them to get to Joe's. She went into the locker room changed out of her scrubs and walked to the front desk. Leaning against the counter was Amelia in all her gorgeous glory. She was looking through a chart and then handed it back to the nurse at the station. She looked up and locked eyes with Gillian and smiled. Gillian walked over to her.
"You ready to go?" Gillian asked.
"Yep, you lead the way" Amelia said and interlocked their fingers again. It felt so comfortable and so right to be holding Gillian's hand.
They walked down the street a little way and then crossed the street. They walked into a charming little pub. Gillian never let go of Amelia as they weaved through the crowd to a table near the back of the bar.
Sitting at the table was her brother, his new wife, a red-headed burly man, Mark, an Asian woman, a young girl with brown hair, a gorgeous brunette, the beautiful blonde that was waiting for the elevator with Gillian and Addison.
"Hey guys!" Gillian said.
The crowd all called her name in various volumes.
"Hey Amy" Derek said and smiled at his baby sister, knowing full well what he did by hiring Gillian and Amelia. She told him back before their fight that she had a crush on the young Peds surgeon. So he wanted to help things along, and the fact that Gillian was the most qualified was an added bonus.
"Hey everyone this is Amelia. You already know Mer and Derek. Well, this is Owen, Christina, you know Mark, Lexie, Callie and Arizona" Gillian said and they all exchanged smiles and pleasantries.
"It's nice to meet you all" Amelia said.
"What do you want to drink?" Gillian asked Amelia.
"Do you even have to ask?" Amelia asked.
Gillian laughed. "Manhattan on the rocks"
"That's my girl" Amelia said and smiled.
Gillian left to get their drinks.
"Sit by me Amelia" Arizona said, always anxious to make new friends.
"Umm okay" Amelia said. "Arizona, right?"
"Yeah, I'm the other Peds attending. I work with Gillian every day. She was super excited all day. I think she's happy that you're here" Arizona said.
"I'm ecstatic that she's here Arizona!" Gillian said and handed Amelia her drink.
"How did I know you were going to get a White Russian Gilly?" Amelia said.
"Because you know everything about me" Gillian laughed and placed her hand on Amelia's thigh and kept it there.
Arizona and Callie noticed it immediately.
"So you both did your residencies at Johns Hopkins?" Christina asked.
"Yeah we did" Amelia said.
The rest of the night was spent talking about crazy stories of their residencies. Derek, Mark and Addison told stories of their residencies in New York. Christina told the story about the guy who needed porn as medicine and so on and so forth.
Amelia was telling a story about a guy she treated at Johns Hopkins whose brain aneurism made him think he was Prince Charles. That's when Callie noticed that Gillian's hand was traveling further up Amelia's thigh and was caressing it similar to the way that she did with Arizona. Amelia didn't falter in her story so Callie could gather that this was normal behavior for them. She looked over at Arizona and she could tell that Arizona saw it too.
The alcohol was making Gillian bolder than normal. She just watched the expressions on Amelia's face as she told her story coupled with her gorgeous blue eyes made Gillian want her more. Her hand inched closer and closer to Amelia's core. Amelia ended her story and Meredith took the reins telling one of her horror stories.
Amelia leaned into Gillian. Gillian could feel Amelia's hot breath on her ear.
"Are you going to tease me all night or do you plan a follow through" she said and pulled back to lock eyes with the red head.
Amelia stood up from the table. "I'll be right back you guys I just need some fresh air."
She walked out of Joe's.
Gillian turned to the group. "I'm going to go and check on her, make sure she's alright."
She walked out of Joe's.
Amelia's back was to her when she walked out to the street.
They stood in silence for about five minutes when Gillian finally spoke.
"Amy" she said breathlessly.
Amelia turned around and grabbed Gillian's face pulling her in for a lip searing kiss. Gillian's head was spinning. She ran her tongue along Amelia's bottom lip. Amelia granted her entrance. Their tongues dueled and Amelia ran her tongue along Gillian's perfect teeth. The need for oxygen pulled them apart. Gillian pressed her forehead to Amelia's.
She kissed Gillian one more time and walked away, leaving Gillian with the tingling of Amelia's lips still on hers.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket.
Where are you? –Arizona
I'm not feeling so well Ari. I'll see you tomorrow. –Gillian
Okay. Feel better! See you tomorrow. –Arizona
Gillian walked the half block it took to get to her apartment, took a shower and got into bed. Not knowing what was in store for tomorrow.
