Slowly starting to stir, Callie could smell the sweetness of Alyssa's flesh next to her. She could feel her breasts pressed up against Alyssa's torso. She smiled, her eyes still shut, because she knew that the wonderful night she remembered wasn't a dream. She had spent the night with an incredible woman.

Ever slightly opening her eyes, she saw Alyssa still asleep. She is so peaceful, she thought to herself. Callie couldn't resist the urge to kiss Alyssa's soft neck.

"Mmmmmm..." Alyssa moaned as she woke to the soft touch of Callie's lips. Alyssa turned her head to Callie. "Morning" Alyssa said as she wrapped her arms around Callie's beautiful body. The covers of the bed hung loosely around Callie, making it a beautiful view for Alyssa.

Callie lowered her head and kissed Alyssa softly. As they parted lips, Alyssa moved Callie's hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear.

Her eyes are so beautiful, I can get lost in them. Forever, Alyssa thought to herself.

They both smiled at each other and in that moment Callie felt like she belonged. Somewhere. To someone.

"So, what do you want to do today?" Asked Alyssa as Callie put her head in her right hand and started to play with Alyssa necklace with her free hand.

"Uhh...I don't know. Maybe do some crossword puzzles or catch up on some reading. I mean, unless you want to stay in bed all day. I would totally be down for that." Callie said with a wink and a flirty smile.

God, she's so perfect, Alyssa thought. She's perfect for me!

"Callie, I uhhh...I think there's something you should know."

"What is it?" Callie's facial expression turned serious.

"The day I decided to transfer to Grey Sloan Memorial was the day that I made the best decision of my life. And I will be forever more grateful."

Callie's cheeks turned red and she smiled as she looked deep into Alyssa's eyes.

There was a few moments before Callie broke the silence.

"Why did you transfer over here, by the way." She asked.

Breaking eye contact, Alyssa answered, " Its a long story."

"We have all day." Callie's eyes were still fixed on Alyssa. She could tell the subject was getting a little touchy.

Alyssa took a deep breath. " I had a Malpractice suit filed against me. I won the case but, it didn't stop the harassment I was receiving from my deceased patients' family. I ended up having to issue a restraining order. And it became a nerve racking work environment for me. So I had to get out."

"I'm..I'm so sorry Alyssa. I can't even begin to imagine the pain that must have caused you. But from what I can tell, you are a very strong woman. And you hold a ton of strength in that beautiful soul of yours."

With that Alyssa met Callie's eyes once again and smiled gratefully.

"So now that you know my sad story, what about yours? I have heard things around the hospital about what happened but I haven't heard it from you. That is, if you want to talk about it. It's fine if you don't. I would understand."

Callie knew that question was coming. Even though deep down it still pains her, she was willing to share it with Alyssa.

" My wife...my ex-wife, slept with another woman." Callie took a deep breath and continued. "We've come along way ever since the accident but I'm not sure we can ever recover from this."

"Accident?" Alyssa asked confused.

"The plane crash. Arizona and a few other surgeons, who happen to be my friends, were in a plane crash, and were stranded for a week afterwards. I lost my best friend and Arizona lost her leg. It was a heartbreaking time of my life."

Alyssa could see the tears in Callie's eyes and she could hear the pain in her voice.

"All I wish for you is happiness from here on out." Alyssa started to stroke Callie's cheek with her hand and whipped away a tear that escaped from her eye. "And if you let me, I would very much like to be a factor in your happiness. You deserve the world Callie Torres, and I want to give it to you."

Callie smiled through her teary eyes and said " You already make me happy."

Alyssa smiled up at her, and put her hand behind Callie's head, bringing her in for a deep and loving kiss.

Callie positioned her body on top of Alyssa's and pulled her in tightly in her embrace.

I love you, Alyssa thought. If only I could tell you.
