Resisting is impossible

Chloe's POV:

How should I do that when I had to see her every day? I mean I needed to check up on her on a daily basis, since I was the heart specialist. I could ask Doctor Altman if she was willing to take Beca as her patient. She was a cardiac surgeon as well but unfortunately not as good as me. I wanted to best for Beca, so I decided against this idea of mine. But I definitely needed to find a solution.

Meanwhile it was almost 2 o'clock in the middle of the night. I didn't have anything to do. On the one hand I wanted to stay away from Beca as much as possible but on the other hand I had a hard time holding myself back from taking a glance at her while she was sleeping. Eventually I gave in and made my way to her room. I opened the door a little without making any noise. "Hello?", I heard her soft voice. Fuck. She was awake. Hectically I searched for an excuse. "Damn Chloe", I thought to myself and would have loved to punch me before I started whispering: "Ehm hey...it's me... Doctor Beale...or....Chloe...and I just wanted to see if you are okay...I thought you were sleeping."

Beca's POV:

"Sleeping in this bed is like sleeping on bare ground", I answered and let out a short laugh that turned into a sigh. "Why don't you come in...unless you have something else to do", I invited the young doctor and moved to the left side of my bed, so she'd have space to sit down. I could feel her debating on whether she should come in or not. "Better not", the redhead said, obviously struggling to answer.

"I don't bite", I clarified which made her giggle. It was the cutest giggle I had ever heard. "Yeah...okay", it changed her mind and she let herself drop onto the bed right next to me and our arms touched for a second before she pulled hers away. What was wrong with her? Was she so afraid of closeness? Or why else would she pull away immediately? Arms touching doesn't mean anything neither is it a big deal, well at least not in general, for me it was but she didn't have to know that.

I decided to not speak to her about it and asked another question instead: "Have you slept?" - "Not in 36 hours", her reply shot out of her mouth, "but that's okay because I am totally used to it. That's what being a doctor, especially being a surgeon, is like." -  "But aren't you tired?", I wondered in surprise. "I'm so tired", the woman explained and put her arms in the air to illustrate how tired she was, "but I have learned to ignore and to hide it." She smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back. She had sparkles in her eyes and they were dancing like stars in the night sky.

"Do you wanna play a game?", she asked and opened her hair. It was falling over her shoulders and the scent filled the room. It smelled like sunflowers and honey. "I can go grab some cards", the girl suggested and I nodded in agreement.
5 Minutes later she came back and had a stack of cards in her hands. We played until the next morning and had a nice time until her pager disturbed. "Shit, I forgot I have surgery now. I gotta go", Chloe pointed out and walked, almost ran, off.

Chloe's POV:

I sprinted all the way through the hallway, to the other side of the building.
"I'm sorry I'm late", I apologized between my heavy breaths and tried to calm down. "Get ready, Beale", Meredith hissed and if eyes could kill I would have fallen over.

Arizona was part of the surgery too because the woman we operated was pregnant. "Hey Ari", I said through my mouth protection before I cut open the patient's chest, when suddenly everything around me started beeping...

What do you think has happened?
