Mistakes Were Made(62)



“Cassie,” Erin said, still smiling. “The movie’s over.”

“What?”

“You’ve been asleep for about half an hour.”

“What?” Cassie said. “You just let me sleep?”

“You looked peaceful,” Erin said with a shrug. “And your snoring was quiet so it didn’t interrupt my movie watching.”

“I do not snore.”

Erin laughed. “Whether you do or not,” she said, “I think you’ll be a lot more comfortable if you sleep in your bed instead of on the couch.”

Cassie rubbed the sleep and blush from her face. “You’re probably right,” she said. “Thanks.”

“Thank you,” Erin said, “again. For the flowers.”

Cassie’s blush came right back. She was tired and couldn’t control her reactions, apparently.

“I’m glad you liked them,” she said. “I gotta get ready for bed.”

“Me too.”

“Good night.”

“Good night, Cassie.”

Her computer froze on Erin’s soft smile for a moment before the call fully disconnected. Cassie kind of wanted to stab herself. Erin’s smile was beautiful and Cassie wanted to kiss the shit out of her.

She tossed her laptop and phone onto her bed and went to brush her teeth. She kept the water as cold as she could stand to wash her face.

In bed, she stared at the ceiling. She felt weird, all over, and didn’t know why. She felt like she got caught doing something she shouldn’t, which was stupid, because she neither got caught nor was doing anything that hurt anyone. She felt antsy.

Cassie [11:03 PM]

I also kind of sent the flowers to woo you

Erin [11:04 PM]

To woo me? Cassie, we’ve already slept together

Cassie [11:05 PM]

Yeah but … I know we had rules but I want to do it again. So staying on your good side seems like a good idea

Erin [11:05 PM]

You’re doing a good job then

Erin [11:06 PM]

What would you have done if we were in the same city?

Cassie went for broke.

Cassie [11:06 PM]

Hand delivered them and fucked you in an on call room

Cassie [11:07 PM]

Or is that something that only happens in greys anatomy?

Cassie’s heart beat probably two hundred times before Erin responded.

Erin [11:08 PM]

It is … not something that only happens in Grey’s Anatomy.

Cassie [11:09 PM]

No? Has cardiology intern Ian been giving you the eye and nodding toward the on call room?

Erin [11:09 PM]

Cardiology intern Ian can keep his hands to himself

Erin [11:10 PM]

You on the other hand …

Cassie grinned. She wouldn’t have pegged Erin for a sexter, but the thought was thrilling. She noticed the time, closed her eyes, and made a wish that this ended well. Resting one hand on her stomach, over the tank top, she texted back with the other.

Cassie [11:11 PM]

Would we have to be quick? So no one catches on?

Erin [11:12 PM]

And so I don’t get called away for a patient

Cassie [11:12 PM]

I’d push you against the door as soon as you had it locked

Erin [11:13 PM]

God, Cassie, are we really doing this?

Cassie [11:14 PM]

Do you not want to?

Erin [11:15 PM]

I do. I’ve just never done this before

Cassie [11:15 PM]

You mean had sex in the on call room?;)

Erin [11:16 PM]

That too

Cassie [11:16 PM]

Wait, seriously?

Erin [11:17 PM]

Seriously

Cassie [11:17 PM]

In that case, I would definitely have you against the door as soon as you locked it

Cassie [11:18 PM]

I wouldn’t want to stop kissing you, but if we have to be quick …

Erin [11:19 PM]

Like you could keep your hands off my chest, or your mouth if you had the chance

Okay, Cassie’s hand definitely slid into her pajama bottoms. She didn’t touch herself, yet. Just got ready.

Cassie [11:20 PM]

It’s not my fault you’ve got great tits

Cassie [11:20 PM]

I’d get my mouth on them for sure

Cassie [11:20 PM]

Probably wouldn’t even have moved away from the door before I had your shirt and bra off

Erin [11:21 PM]

I’ve been thinking of this all day, Cassie. Feels so good

Cassie wasn’t sure if Erin meant she’d be thinking about this in the scenario or if she literally meant all of today. Maybe ever since she got those flowers. Maybe she’d FaceTimed Cassie thinking about this, imagining this might come of it.

Cassie ran a finger along her slit and it came back wet.

Cassie [11:23 PM]

Erin I gotta get you into a bed

Erin [11:24 PM]

The bed in there’s a twin, you’re gonna have to be on top of me

Cassie [11:24 PM]

That’s not a problem

Cassie [11:25 PM]

I want your pants off, too

Erin [11:25 PM]

That’s not fair. You have too many clothes on

Cassie pushed her pants down over her hips, kicked them off.
