Calzona - New York (Pt. 2)
The coffee cart lady hastily placed the cup of coffee on the counter before tending to the steaming kettle. Arizona grabbed the warm cup of coffee that warmed her cold hands because of the brunette. She took a look at the brunette who was smiling at her. She took a sip of the coffee and frowned.
"I think you made me the wrong coffee. There is chocolate in this."
"No silly, you accidentally took my order. I wanted to see if you liked it," the brunette winked at her.
Arizona's cheeks immediately flushed and started to drink her coffee at a faster pace while the brunette chuckled and took Arizona's coffee.
"This actually tastes good. You have quite the taste, Dr Robbins" the British accent of the brunette made Arizona blush again. She felt like she could keep hearing that British accent which seemed ever so intoxicating to her.
"Let me properly introduce myself, I am Allison Fox. I am the head of orthopaedics. Oh and our surgery's in 20 minutes, we can go over the procedure in the attending's lounge if you'd like,"
"Yeah that sounds great!" Arizona's voice came out a little squeakier than expected but she smiled to hide her embarrassment. Arizona and Allison walked over to the lounge and sat on the wine red sofa under the luminous light above them. Allison looked at Arizona and gave her a warm smile before pulling out the pale beige file from under her arm and going over the details of Ken Green and the surgical procedure. The entire time Arizona could not take her eyes off Allison's pink lips which tempted her so badly which was made worse by the fact that they were in the lounge alone. Everytime Allison noticed Arizona staring at her, it made her heart glow and made her smile without her realising it. Arizona would immediately blush upon that smile and would try to ask questions about the surgery to avoid the awkwardness.
15 minutes passed just like that and they both went to the scrub room and were greeted by Dr Reed's cheerful smile. They got scrubbed and met Ken in the OR where he was already knocked out by the anaesthesia. Allison went to the side of the table where the lead surgeon always stood and Arizona took the opposite side of the table with Dr Reed beside her. During surgery, Arizona and Allison constantly exchanged glances during which Arizona would look away almost immediately and try to focus on surgery all while smiling beneath her mask which would not be revealed to Allison which was her only escape throughout the surgery.
"Dr Reed, I trust that you can close him up. I will see you post-op" Allison instructed and walked away to scrub out of surgery. Arizona stayed behind to ensure that Dr Reed closed up properly and to avoid yet another moment with Allison. Soon after Dr Reed closed him up, Arizona scrubbed out and when she opened the door, Allison looked up from her phone almost immediately after hearing the squeaking of the door. Arizona smiled at Allison and both of them walked to the attendings' lounge, discussing the details of the surgery.
"So Allison, your last name is Fox. Are you related to Catherine Fox by any chance?" Arizona asked Allison as they hit the same wine red couch.
"Yeah, she's my aunt actually. We aren't really that close actually but she's been my greatest inspiration." Allison beamed widely while saying that. Arizona found that cute and smiled briefly as she nodded her head to show that she was listening to her.
"You know we have rooms here that are known to lighten your mood. We have a plant room, a blue light room, a painting room where some of our very talented doctors paint artworks and hang them in that room. We could go check it out." Allison suggested since they had some time to spare before their next consult. As they both got up, Allison adjusted her coat and Arizona stood there staring at Allison in awe. After adjusting her coat, Arizona cleared her throat and gave her a smile hoping Allison didn't notice her staring at her. Allison walked closer to Arizona, all while looking deeply into her egyptian blue eyes that glistened under the lights in the lounge. Arizona inhaled sharply as she stared into those jade green eyes, eagerly waiting for what was about to happen next. Allison then put her hand behind Arizona on the wall and leaned in closer such that their noses were a mere centimeter away. She then turned off the light and smiled at her.
"Gotta save electricity, y'know?" Allison chuckled and winked at her. Arizona stood there for a while, and smiled widely, wondering if that were all her imagination or if it actually did happen. She then followed Allison to the elevator where they headed to the painting room.
As Arizona entered the room that were filled with beautiful paintings of New York, of children who were once patients in the hospital and of the most random things that made the artwork look aesthetic. Arizona gasped lightly as she admired the beauty of it all, realising she didn't know that doctors could possess such hidden talents.
"The paintings here are really..really pretty", Arizona looked at Allison with a huge smile.
"Well in comparison to you, they are nothing" Allison winked at her and managed to get a pretty and small smile out of Arizona as she tried to hide it. Arizona chuckled as she went over to one of the painting booths and dusted the chair as she sat down and picked up a paintbrush.
"So what are you gonna paint, Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun?" Allison smiled at Arizona as she stood in front of the wooden portrait stand with a blank, white canvas. Arizona looked at her cheekily and shrugged her shoulders. Allison nodded and chuckled as she took of her pure white coat and placed it on the chair next to her. Arizona shook her head while laughing as Allison started posing in funny ways. Arizona dipped her brush in the light brown paint and started painting, followed by turquoise and then brown to paint her shiny brunette locks with blond highlights at the end. Allison then scooted over to Arizona to see what she had painted.
"Mm..you left my lips and eyes unpainted. Perhaps, you ought to have a closer look?", Arizona turned to her left to see Allison bending down and looking at her with a steady intent gaze.
