Tell Me You Love Me

The expected is what keeps us steady. It's the unexpected that changes our lives forever.

BEEP BEEP BEEP...

I slowly open my eyes, the bright light from outside burning them slightly. I sighed as I reached for my alarm clock to turn it off, 6:00am.
I sigh again before pulling the duvet off me and getting out of bed. I love my job but dont like early starts.
I went into the bathroom and got a shower, hoping it would wake me up a bit more. Once I was done in the bathroom, I went to get changed. I could hear Callie walking about. Luckily today is one of the days we work together which makes it better.

"Arizona" Callies shouts from the landing.

"Yeah,"

"Have you got one of my work tops in your cupboard again?" she says, opening the door and walking into my room in only her underwear. I couldn't help but stare. It's not the first time I've seen her like this. But it's breathtaking every time. Her beautiful Latino skin, her amazing curves, her peachy bum, her boobs. Just breathtaking.

"You seriously need to stop putting my clothes with yours," she laughs, snapping me back from my thoughts.

"Well, maybe it's just my way of getting to see you like this." I smirk, looking at her up and down dramatically, making us both laugh.

"Oh honey, you wouldn't be able to handle me," she winks at me before leaving my room. Somehow, I believe her. We have always had a flirty banter friendship. I would be lying if I said i haven't imagined what it would be like.

After Callie left, I finished getting ready before heading downstairs. I filled mine and Callies flask with coffee and quickly made some toast, 10 minutes later, we were out the door.

I love my job. I find it very rewarding, being the first people on the scene, because its what you do that makes the difference whether they survive the trip to the hospital or not. The only downside is that when you drop them off at the hospital, thats it, you very rarley know how they got on.
Its especially hard when its children because I really want to know if they are okay or not. Sometimes, when I finish my shift, I go find them and see how they are doing. However they are times when not knowing is better than knowing, because in reality, people die, and that's the hardest part.

"Ready," Callie asks as we climb into the ambulance.

"Let's do this." Before we even buckled our seatbelts in, we got our first call, so off we went.

12 hours later, we finally finished our shift, I'm absolutely shattered. We finished cleaning out the ambulance, ready for the next crew to take over before getting changed and heading home.

"What a day." Callie sighs tiredly

"I know, right? Im starved," I laugh.

"Chinese," Callie asked

"Oh yes, please." With that, we left the hospital and went to the nearest Chinese order of our food and headed home.

"wine," Callie asked as we plated the food up.

"Only a small one, dont want to be hungover for the game tomorrow."

"True, dont think Karva would be impressed if his star players are hungover," she laughed

"definitely not." I chuckle

I finished plating the food up while Callie poured the wine, Sauvignon Blanc, my favourite, especially if it's from New Zealand. I grabbed our plates and headed into the living room, A few seconds later, Callie brought the glasses of wine. We watched a bit of tele while we ate, luckily we both liked the same shows/films otherwise trying to decide what to watch would be hell.

the next morning...

"Arizona, you best be ready." Callie shouts from downstairs. Today is game day. Callie hates being late to training and even more so on game days.

"Yeah, I'm coming." I ran down the stairs as Callie was putting her coat on.

"Let's go," she says, grabbing my bag. Luckily, today is a home game, so we dont have it far to go. 15 minutes later, we arrived at the pitch.

"You wet the bed," Lexi asks me while laughing, as me and I walk up to the few teams' mates already there. We were actually early for once.

"No, that was Callie." I laugh

"Sorry couldn't help myself," she shrugged, causing us all to laugh.

Not long later, the whole team was here, so we started warming up. 15 minutes later, we gathered in our huddle that we do before a game.

"right ladies, this is important, go out there and do what we do best, Arizona you best have your shooting boots on, lets play as a team, communicate, we got this" Karev says before we all put our hands in the middle and shout TEAM.

I feel so happy when Im playing and playing next to Callie is a bouns, we are a force to be reckoned with when we play together. Soon, the first half was over, and we were winning 3 nil. I scored 2, and Lexi scored 1.

"Great first half out there, ladies. we need more of that in the second half. Just because we are winning doesn't mean the game is ours, not until the final whistle," Karev says seriously.

The whistle goes, and within 10 minutes, they score. I can feel the angry and determination building, and I hate conceding.
15 minutes of the game left, and it's still 3-1. 2 minutes later, Callie gets subbed, which i was gutted by, but the other players need game time as well. I couldn't help but see her talking to someone who I've never seen before. She was smiling and laughing, couldnt help but feel a bit jealous.
Soon, the final whistle went, and the final score 3-1 to us. We are into the final. We all ran to each other and hugged each other, jumping up and down. We all then went back to the dug out where we were greeted by a smiling Karev. I instantly went straight to Callie and hugged her.

"Well done, Arizona."

"Well done to you too," I smile

"You were on fire," I grin

"You too, oh by the way, this is Erica," She says, pointing to the tall, blonde haired woman standing next to her.

"Hey," she smiles, "she is rather pretty.

"Hi," I smile back.

"she's actually joining our team." Callie beams 

"aww that's great." 

"Yeah, I can't wait," Erica says, smiling at Callie. I could swear I saw Callie blush a little.

"Hey Callie, Arizona, we're all going for drinks. You're coming, Erica your more than welcome to come. Meet your new team mates," Karev says.

"yeah course" Callie smiles back. 

We all headed back to the changing rooms and got changed before heading to the pub down the road. I couldn't help but notice how joined at the hip Callie and Erica were since the game. Callie has spent more time talking to Erica than she has me, and I couldn't help but feel jealous.

"eyeing up the newbie," April chuckles as she sits next to me.

"No, don't be silly." 

"You haven't stopped looking at them two since we got here,"

"No, I haven't." 

"Arizona, yes you have, or is it Callie you're looking at?" 

"I'm getting another drink, back in a minute." I smile, getting up and heading to the bar. I don't know why I'm being so weird about Callie and Erica. I mean, they have just met, and Callie is an amazing person. She always makes people feel welcome. That's all she's doing.
