Missed Times

Chapter Fifteen

"Pablo, I'm sorry, but I'm not on call, like I said, you should try her OB, if she's not available try Wilson, that's the best I can do for you".

Carina is talking on the phone to Mr. Oncologist and I just roll my eyes when Carina looks at me from the living room frustrated. I assume he's a smart man, but right now he's not acting like one. My wife obviously will do everything to help people when they are in need, but not when they're needy.

"Don't be, she's your sister, I'll tell Wilson to check on her, I have to go now."

I see Carina ending the call without saying anything else, she starts texting while I'm just there, leaning on the table and looking at her. When Carina finally looks at me, I raise my eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, he's just..."

"Worried about his sister," I say, trying to empathize with the guy. "Is she going to be okay?"

"I think she will be," Carina nods and starts walking towards me. "I shouldn't have answered but I know he wouldn't stop calling".

"Well, I think you handled it really well," I smile at my wife as I surround her waist with my arms. "He should know better to not disturb doctor DeLuca when she's off work".

"Mm-hmm," Carina nods, smiling, surrounding my neck with her arms. "Especially when she's with her wife".

Carina rubs her nose against mine and I close my eyes embracing this moment and her. When I open my eyes again, I can see Carina getting emotional.

"Hey," I whisper while I take my hand to her cheek. "You okay?"

"Yeah," Carina nods and offers me a smile. "I just missed this."

Carina runs down her hands to my biceps resting them there.

"Well, we can stay like this forever, I don't mind", I say wrapping my arms around Carina a little tighter and resting my forehead with hers.

"I should take a shower though," Carina says while she strokes my chin. "I've been up all-night".

"We can totally make that work," I smile widely as I start walking, my arms still around Carina's waist.

"Maya, you just had brain surgery," Carina says walking backwards.

"Yeah, weeks ago and can you see this?" I lift my hand and wiggle my fingers. "They work perfectly fine."

Carina throws her head back laughing while she intertwines her fingers with mine, we both keep walking towards the bathroom.

"We can call Dr. Shepherd if you want, she'd be thrilled to know what we're doing," I raise my eyebrow.

Carina stops when she feels the bathroom door on her back, she releases my hand to take the back of my neck and kisses me passionately while she opens the door with her other hand.

As soon as I feel Carina's tongue in my mouth my insides start pulsing, I've been craving this closeness for weeks. We get rid of our clothes in between kisses, I start running my hand down from Carina's breasts to her stomach, she takes my hand and takes a step back.

"Shower," Carina smiles mischievously and walks towards the shower and leans in to start it.

I stare at her wide eyed, she looks as beautiful as ever, but somehow her body looks slightly different than I remembered.

"Everything okay?" Carina asks when she looks back from the shower.  

"You're so hot," I say biting my lower lip taking a step closer to her.
