How Not To
Chapter Twenty-Four
(Arizona P.O.V.)
Pulling my mask from my face I make my way into the scrub room. I tear my gloves and gown from my person and toss them in the disposal bin. I start the process of scrubbing out as Alex steps in the scrub room.
"You were amazing today Alex." Grabbing a rough sponge, I start to scrub my hands.
"Whatever…" I see the blush creeping up on his cheeks. As I smile I turn the water on and start washing the soap from my arms and hands.
"You should seriously think about getting double board certified too. We could be our own little gang. Peds and Fetal surgery bad asses." I look over and see a smirk on his face as he starts to chuckle.
"Maybe Robbins." I nudge his shoulder with mine before grabbing a towel to dry my hands.
"Think about it. We're a rare breed." My full smile shows as Alex scoffs. "Love you too, Karev." I make my way out of the scrub room pulling my scrub cap off. In this moment, I haven't been on a high like this in a long time. Spotting a familiar dirty blonde head, I make my way over to the nurse's station.
"Hey!" I stifle a laugh as Teddy practically drops the tablet she's holding as I make her jump.
"Christ Robbins! What the hell?" I watch as she places the tablet back in the holder and playfully punches me on the shoulder with the other hand.
"Good morning to you too. But, walk with me for coffee?" I bite my lower lips and give her an innocent smile. Teddy rolls her eyes as she loops her arm in mine.
"Is the sex that good?" I slightly lose my footing at her comment. Oh shit. She knows. I play the fact I'm taken back off with a laugh.
"What sex?" Teddy raises her eyebrow at me but I hold my ground.
"Arizona, It's obvious. Torres has been acting just as perky as you and you are still staying at her house." Still deciding to play dumb I furrow my eyebrows together.
"Theodora, I am as dry as the Sahara Desert." I smile as Teddy's features slightly contort in disgust.
"Okay so that was not necessary. But if you're not getting any explain why you're so…perky." As I push the button for the elevator I take a second to come up with an answer.
"I'm allowed to be perky and happy Teddy. It feels good to be happy and perky now. But yeah, Callie has something do with it. We've been talking. Like actually talking. Not like one of us speaks and then the other storms off or something. It feels like old times." When the elevator doors open we make our way in and Teddy presses the button for the main floor. "Movie nights with Sof. Cooking dinner together. The nights spent sitting at the piano listening to Callie and Sofia…" My mind drifts back to last night when Callie took me on top of the piano.
"Callie! What are you doing!? Put me down. You're not supposed to be doing any heavy lifting!" I cling to her body like a monkey as she lifts me up and puts me on the piano. I bite my lip to hold back a moan as Callie buries her face and my neck and starts placing kisses on the sensitive skin there.
"You should really quiet down. You might wake Sof up. We don't want that do we?" I gasp as Callie runs her hands across the tops of my thighs. Not about to trust my words I just not my head yes. "Didn't think so…" All of the air in my lungs comes rushing out as Callie lifts my shirt and starts places kisses over my stomach. I let my head fall back and my eyes close as I take in all the sensations. I feel a tug on my yoga pants which causes me to look down and meet the onyx black eyes staring back up at me. I swallow hard as I take in the primal gaze on Callie's face.
"Jesus…" My jaw drops to let out a silent scream as Callie uses the tip of her tongue to lick a path from my belly button to the top of my slit causing my hips to buck. I brace myself on the piano with one hand and the other shoots into Callie's black hair.
"I'm not Jesus but I have a feeling you'll be calling me God a lot pretty soon." Biting my lip I look down as Callie pulls my yoga pants down to my knees and places kisses on the apex of my thighs inching around where I really want her lips.
"Callie…" I let out a moan as Callie runs the flat of her tongue up each of my nether lips. My hips involuntarily start bucking as I yearn for more friction. I can feel my thighs start to tremble in anticipation. I let out a squeak as Callie's fingers run through my wet folds. My mouth goes dry as Callie sucks on her fingers covered in my juices. My breathing becomes erratic as onyx eyes roll back in their sockets. I squeeze my thighs in attempt to dampen the insistent throbbing that has started between my thighs.
"You taste so damn good…" My heart starts to wildly beat in my chest as Callie looks at my center like she hasn't eaten in months. My hand shoots from Callie's hair to cover my mouth as her tongue attacks my entrance. As she pokes and prods my center causing my center to grind into her face.
A ding brings me back to reality and I look over at Teddy who has a smug look on her face.
"Haven't had sex my ass…" I feel the blush increase on my cheeks and neck. I push her shoulder before making my way out of the elevator.
"Shut up Teddy. I didn't even say anything." Teddy lets out a full belly laugh as she speed walks to catch up with me.
"You didn't say anything but that face you were just making. You've definitely been laid." A smile breaks on my face as I try to keep a serious façade.
"Fine, yes. We've been…" I look around to see if anyone is within ear shot. "We've been busy. Very busy. Like marathons." As we get closer to the coffee cart I turn my voice into a whisper. "I came five times last night. Five times Teddy. She tried this thing where she puts her-" Teddy cuts me off by plugging her ears and making noises much like a five year old. Which causes me to laugh.
"La la la la. I don't need to be hearing this. My mind is innocent and it does not need to be corrupted by you and your…. activities!" Reaching over I grab her wrists and pull her fingers from her ears as I continue to laugh.
"You asked. I was doing you a kindness by not telling you but you insisted." I only laugh harder as Teddy shakes her head.
"Bleh! Remind me never to ask you that question again." We make our way to the coffee cart and place our orders.
"You should've learned that years ago…" We fall into everyday conversation consisting of our work schedules for the day. Teddy's pager pulls us away from our conversation.
"Gotta go. Lunch?" She starts to back away in the other direction as she waits for an answer.
"Yeah sure." I watch as she sprints off in the opposite direction of me just as she goes our coffee is ready. I pay for both of them and decide inside of throwing Teddy's away I start making my way up to the Ortho wing in hopes to catch the woman who has invaded my life again.
Once in the ortho wing I approach the nurse's station and just as I'm about to ask where Callie is her voice finds my ears causing a smile to break across my face.
"Hey… What are you doing up here?" I turn to face her and my yes go wide. The world freezes as she walks up to me wearing a painted on, knee, high waisted black skirt, an off white blouse tucked in to her skirt with pleats around the collar. Her hair is in large curls framing her face and her lips are painted with my favorite shade of red lip stick on her lips. She pulls the whole outfit together with her lab coat with the sleeves rolled up to the elbow. As she gets closer she cocks her head to the side. Realizing I haven't said anything I finally open my mouth deciding to trust myself to actually form words. I turn around and grab one of the two coffee cups and extend it to her.
"Coffee…" Her megawatt smile breaks across her face showing her bright white teeth. She takes the offered coffee and brings it to her lips for a sip.
"Ah, yes. I love your coffee. I need your coffee." Though I'm sure her words had innocent meaning I can't help but blush as the way she stressed the word need. Slightly shaking my head, I bring myself back to the present conversation.
"Well, I'm glad I could help you out. By the way, you look amazing today." I give her my best dimpled smile.
"Thank you." My smile slightly falters as Callie drops her gaze and a faint blush faints her cheeks.
"Seriously. Breath takingly beautiful…" Brown eyes find my face in search of something that would make Callie believe my words don't mean anything. But when a smile finds its way on to wine red lips I know she sees that I mean my words.
"Uhm, I was headed to my office before our board meeting. Care to walk?" I nod in agreement and follow Callie to her office. We walk side by side letting the tops of our hands and knuckles brush. The slight contact sends little sparks running through my whole body. Once we reach Callie's office she opens the door letting me walk in first. I walk in and plop down on the black leather couch in the corner of the room as Callie makes her way to grab a few papers then finds a seat beside me. Noticing her running her hand up and down her left thigh I face Callie completely.
"Your leg okay? You're not over doing it are you?" I'm genuinely concerned. She's been back for a week and she's been doing a lot of standing. Of course, she's not back in surgery until her physical therapy is done but I know it can hurt.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little sore." I watch as her fingers start massaging the muscle.
"Callie, you shouldn't be straining yourself at work." I look up to meet her gaze but she's engrossed in the papers in her hands.
"Arizona… It's not work…" A smirk falls on her lips as she flips to the next page in her papers. "I remember being on my knees for a while last night." I give her my famous sexy squint.
"You did, didn't you?" I chance my luck and swat her hand away then replace her hand with mine massaging it. I smirk as Callie looks away from her papers and down at my hand on her thigh.
"Arizona… We have to go in…" I watch as Callie looks at the time on her phone that rests on the coffee table in front of the couch. "…seven minutes." I lean forward and place a kiss just below her ear.
"And you think that's going to stop me…" I graze my teeth along her ear lobe. As I see the shivers run through her body from moving my hand farther up her thigh a smile forms on my lips.
"Yes, because if you behave now I'll make it worth your while later." I pull back and see her face full of nothing but seriousness even though her tone is very flirtatious. Giving her inner thigh one last squeeze I remove my hand from her thigh. I groan at the loss of contact while Callie exhales deeply.
"You win…" We fall into a comfortable silence as Callie keeps working through her paper work. I lean my back against the arm rest on the couch and study her as I drink my coffee. I can't help but smile as I notice her tongue peeking out between her lips as she concentrates. My heart races each time she brings her pen to her teeth and lightly bites the tip. My mouth goes dry each time she uncrosses her legs and crosses them again causing her skirt to rise up a little more each time. A beep from our pagers pull us back to reality. "Let's go get this meeting over with." We both rise from our spots on the couch and make our way to the conference room.
Once in the conference room we're met with greetings from Jackson, Meredith, Richard, and Alex leaving us waiting for Bailey to show. Callie and I find seats beside each other beside Meredith. We all fall into a simple small talk.
"Alright people." Our eyes shoot to the door where Bailey is making her way into the room. "Now we don't have much to discuss so let's get this done so we can all get back to our days." We all nod in agreement.
"Alright first thing, Torres. How is the funding going for your lab?" Our eyes turn to Callie as she sits up straight and tells Bailey her progress. With a nod of approval Bailey runs through the rest of the present department heads. We discuss a few statistics for our budgets and funding. After spit balling a few ideas we move on to the next topic. Alex's eyes meet mine just as Bailey calls for us.
"Robbins, Karev, you're up." Alex and I both stand and make our way to stand beside Bailey. Alex turns to me and signals me to start.
"Marc Bullis. 17 month old. Born with craniosynostosis…" I go through and explain what the issue is as Karev shows the most resent scans. "To assist us on the surgery we are bringing in craniofacial specialist, Dr. Feldman…"
"Actually, uhm." All eyes fall on Bailey as she interrupts our presentation. I raise an eyebrow as Bailey mutters 'Give me strength..' under her breath.
"Anything you'd like to add Chief Bailey" I step back as she stands at the head of the table then takes a deep breath.
"Feldman is unavailable…" I cock my head to the side.
"Okay, that's fine. I can call Haralson or Tidewell." A look of confusion falls on my face. I follow Bailey with my eyes as she makes her way to the door. As she lifts a trembling hand to open the door it clicks in my brain.
"Please, welcome back Dr. Lauren Boswell…" I stand frozen in my spot as Bailey opens the door and a familiar blonde headed doctor makes her way through the door. Fuck…
AN: I'm going to go hide now.
