Chapter 7
Erica pushed her way through the nurses and doctors, found an on-call room and slammed the door closed. She placed her forehead against the door and closed her eyes, replaying the scene that had happened in the elevator only minutes before. The blonde couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Callie's reaction to her suddenly retreating. Erica had wanted to continue more than anything, but she was still upset with the Latina for kissing Ms. Sunshine in the dirty bar bathroom. She heard a noise behind her and whirled around to find Arizona standing there, concern in her eyes, watching Erica intensely. "Oh how nice, Lady Kisses is here. How many other women have you been kissing, or do you just like to go after the broken ones?" Erica regretted saying that the moment it came out of her mouth, but she was just so angry that she couldn't stop herself. The smaller blonde set her jaw, swiftly stepping up to meet Erica's cold gaze. "You need to back off! I kissed Calliope, yes, but it was to reassure her that she's not useless or…..unwanted. I find her attractive—very attractive. Hell, I'd definitely g-" Erica put her hand up. "I get it!" Arizona blushed a little before continuing. "Um, anyway, I find her attractive and I'd love to go on a date with her, but she's not eligible on the bachelorette list." When the cardio surgeon gave her a confused look, she explained further. "What I mean is… she's not over you, Erica. She wants you—well, really, she needs you, and you're just pushing her away. I don't know why you left the first time, I don't know why you came back, and I don't know why you're avoiding Calliope, but I do know that she needs you and you need her. I've heard some things about you, but I know they're not true. You do have a heart and you do have feelings, so go express those feelings to Calliope!" For a moment, Erica stayed silent, but eventually she found the voice to reply. "I, um, I…..thank you." Arizona smiled and pulled her into a big hug, which the older woman awkwardly tried to return. "Ahm, I need to change and go home now…..I'm tired, and if I wanna explain everything to Callie, I'll be needing a nice amount of sleep." Bright blue eyes met blue-grey ones, a new bond forming between the gazes. "Do people really say I'm heartless with no feelings?" The smaller blonde giggled, grabbing Erica's hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Just some strung-out Asian resident obsessed with Cardio." Erica rolled her eyes and headed for the door, just before she left she turned back to Arizona. "You know, I heard a lot of the nurses on the 4th floor are on our team and looking for serious relationships. Most of them are pretty attractive." She gave the smiling Peds. Surgeon a wink before leaving. After she had changed and began her descent to the elevators, she noticed Yang and the depressed Grey whispering in a corner. She decided to have fun before heading out for the night. "Yang, I was told a strung-out resident obsessed with Cardio decided it would be wise to call me heartless with no feelings….. know anything about that?" The resident whipped around, eyes wide with fear and confusion. "Uh, no ma'am, I don't. I'm sorry someone did that, ma'am." Erica scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Right, well, Grey, you're on my service the rest of the week." She smirked to herself as she heard the two residents bickering about changing attendings. "What a bunch of losers."
When Erica arrived at work the next morning, butterflies were threatening to rip out of her gut at any moment. She was extremely nervous about confronting Callie, hoping the Latina would listen and forgive her. She had tried and failed miserably three times already to corner the woman and explain. The first time she had tried, Erica had sneakily scooted closer and closer to Callie at a nurses' station, but by the time she had arrived at the Latina's side, she was leaving. The second attempt was just plain sad. Erica had been in surgery with her for 3 hours, and every time she looked up, ready to speak, Callie would clear her throat and continue her work. She knew what her ex-lover had been doing, but with all the gossipy nurses around, she couldn't risk telling her off. Her third attempt was almost a success. She had been in the attendings' lounge doing some refresher research when Callie had walked in, staring unblinking into her phone's screen. Erica had been talking for about five minutes until she noticed the ear buds of the other woman's ipod drowning out her words. She shook her head in dismay as she looked back on the attempts. What she really needed to do was lure the woman somewhere private to Erica had a slight chance of explaining. Erica had gotten a new phone and number since the year away from Seattle, and decided to give Callie a mystery text telling her to meet her in a certain supply closet. When she had done so, she made her way to the designated room and waited. It had been almost ten minutes when the door began to slowly open. Erica made her way swiftly to the door, only to find herself on the ground, head throbbing. A sudden pain began to engulf her face, blinding her momentarily. "Oh my god, Erica! Shit, I thought you were some rapist or something—are you okay?" The blonde sat up, grabbing her nose. She groaned as she felt hot liquid seep into the hand. "Geez Cal, remind me never to mess with you. Can you hand me a gauze pad—and while you're at it, come check my nose…. It might be broken." Erica heard shifting of plastic bags and metal until a tan hand held a large gauze pad to her nose. She sighed as the pain began to cease, the pressure the Latina was emitting making the blood finally stop as well. "Uh, it's not broken, but it'll begin to swell soon. You won't look your best, but you can still perform surgeries and whatnot. I'm really sorry, Erica, I got some creepy text demanding me to meet someone in this supply room and when you approached me so abruptly I couldn't help but panic. Do you want some ice or—oh!" Erica caressed Callie's face, ceasing the rambling coming from her sweet lips. "I forgive you, Cal. Can you forgive me?" The Latina's features softened, and she leaned into the blonde's hand. "Of course I can, I could never…. Erica, I still love you. I need you to understand that the kiss you saw….. I wasn't expecting it." Erica smiled warmly, stroking Callie's cheek with the pad of her thumb. "I know…don't worry, I won't leave you this time. I….Callie, I love you too. I never stopped, and I never will." Before the blonde knew it, full, red lips were against her thin, pink ones. At first the kiss was forced and stiff, but soon both women relaxed and eased into it. Callie's tongue swiped against Erica's bottom lip, asking for entry, to which Erica gladly allowed. The kiss wasn't heated or rushed, it was slow and sweet. Their tongues danced lightly with each other, neither trying to overpower the other. A moan escaped one of them, but they were too deep in the kiss to know who it had come from. When Erica's lungs began to scream for air, she reluctantly pulled away and placed her forehead against Callie's. "That was much better than the little stunt you pulled last night, Dr. Hahn." She chuckled and kissed the Latina's nose. "I agree, Dr. Torres, but I think I have an even better stunt I'd love to pull tonight. It involves these beauties right here." Erica held up her hands and wiggled her long, slender fingers playfully. She smirked as her lover's eyes widened, her breath hitching. "I, um, I…..yessss." The blonde lunged in and latched on to Callie's pulse point, sucking and biting, then soothing the spot with a swipe of her tongue. She eventually pulled back and admired her work. "There, now those 4th floor nurses will know you're off the market." Chocolate eyes met blue-grey, for the first time in a long while, both showing love and lust. "I love you, Calliope Torres." "I love you too, Erica Hahn."
