Arizona felt on top of the world. She was exhausted, sure, but her seven-hour surgery had been a success and her little patient would get to go home in a few days. After finishing her post-op charts, she decided to go find Addison.
Three weeks into their arrangement, their schedules hadn't aligned the past couple of days, and she missed her. She almost paused at the thought. She missed sex with the redhead, she amended, and started walking toward the OB-GYN department.
Addison was at the nurse's station, deep in conversation with Jennifer and Charlie- the nurse in charge for the next shift- about a patient. She stood with her back to the hallway, wearing a modest little black dress that somehow still managed to be devastating. She didn't see the blonde approaching but she definitely heard her.
"Hey, gorgeous, are you in private practice? Because I'd like to book an appointment… for tonight."
Arizona's eyes were glued to Addison's bare legs. The dress might have been modest, but those calves…
A throat cleared, snapping her back to reality. She dragged her gaze upward to meet sparkling green eyes.
"I thought you promised to work on your delivery," Addison teased, clearly amused.
"I did promise, but in my defense, a few hours later I told you that you should come with a warning. And this dress… God, it fits you like a glove. I can't be held responsible for short-circuiting." Arizona was shamelessly checking her out, and she didn't care who noticed.
"Uh-huh. Whatever you say." Addison smirked. "Ready to leave?"
"Yes. I just need a shower. Can you wait a little longer? Or you can go, and I'll come over with food. How about Thai?" Arizona asked, her gaze still flickering downward.
"Sure, Thai sounds fantastic." Addison replied, clearly enjoying herself. When the blonde still hadn't moved, she grinned. "You know, the faster you shower, the faster you'll be at my place. And a tip- because your mind seems to be preoccupied at the moment- order the food before you go pick it up."
Arizona blinked, then laughed. "You're absolutely right. See you in an hour, Dr. Montgomery." She turned to the nurses. "Have a good night, ladies." Then, with a last glance at Addison, she nearly ran out of the OB-GYN department toward the attending's locker room.
Charlie let out a loud laugh. When she finally calmed down, she turned to her boss, still in disbelief.
"Are they always like that?"
"Mmm-hmm. You have no idea," Jennifer replied. "That was quite mild, honestly."
"Oh, come on! We're not that bad!" Addison protested, almost offended. Then she hesitated, considering. Her shoulders fell slightly. "Are we?"
Jennifer smirked. "No, not really." Then, with a teasing lilt, she added, "Just make sure you both can function tomorrow."
She and Charlie laughed at the exaggerated look of offense on the redhead's face before walking towards the exit.
