Early morning sunlight streamed through the ajar curtains. Waking up, Zosia groggily turned her head to look up at the other person in the bed - Serena. For the past week, they had alternated between sleeping at Serena's and Zosia's place, and were currently in Serena's house. Her bedroom was very tidy, with a minimalist design. The only interruption to this cleanliness was two half-empty, lipstick-rimmed wine glasses.
Just as the F2 snuggled back into the warm cocoon of Serena's curved body, the alarm clock went off. Sighing, Zosia rolled out of bed and turned it off, before gently shaking Serena awake.
"Babe, its 6'o'clock. I'll make us some breakfast." The F2 left Serena to awake fully whilst she went off to make them some coffee and scrambled eggs. Zosia truly felt at home here.
The two woman arrived at Holby City hospital 10 minutes apart. Their difference in time was necessary to keep their...arrangement a secret. During work hours, it was very rare that Zosia and Serena would cross paths at all; if they did, usually in surgery, they would be civil but not over familiar in any way. In fact, Zosia acted like she knew Jac more than Serena during work hours; anything to keep their passion a secret.
Even though Zosia acted indifferent towards Serena during the day, her craving to see and feel the consultant never wavered. Similarly, Serena found it almost unbearable to go a whole day without at least brushing past Zosia, but she was willing to do whatever it took to keep her longing for the junior doctor unbeknownst to her co-workers.
