Chapter Fifteen - Similar Features
Erica led Callie into the living room and made her sit down while she paced, almost leaving a trail on the carpet.
Part II
Callie followed her with her eyes, watching her go up and down, up and down in the living room, lost in thought. After a few minutes of pacing, Callie sighed and said a soft “Erica?” The blonde looked up and realized that Callie was waiting for her to speak, so she sat down next to her lover and started talking.
“She told me who my father is.”
“What? I thought she didn’t know who he is.”
“Well, apparently she does know. She said that it was a mistake that she didn’t tell me and she doesn’t want to take this to her grave. She said that she was so angry at him for leaving her and letting her take care of everything. She said when his parents found out that she was pregnant with his child, they sent him to boarding school in Switzerland and they moved away so that they would never meet again. She said that she was so furious with him because he didn’t even call once or write a letter and she thought that he had no right to claim being my father. As if she has any right to claim being my mother! But Callie-” Erica turned and looked into attentive chocolate-colored eyes and started to grin “-I know him! I’ve met him before, twice actually! I’ve met him and I didn’t even know that he was my father. How could she have done this to me?”
“Where did you meet him? Who is your father?”
“Does the name Jonathan Richmond ring a bell?”
“THE Jonathan Richmond? The cardiothoracic surgeon who invented the Richmond procedure? One of the four cardio gods?”
Erica’s whole face was lit up in a huge smile that made her eyes sparkle. “That’s him! Can you imagine that, I am the daughter of Jonathan Richmond! I guess my genius is in my blood. What he could still teach me, I mean I was so nervous when I met him and he was really nice, we talked at a congress once. I wonder what he would say if I met him again and told him that I’m his daughter. He’d probably think that I’m a fraud. I need to get in contact with him and find out whether that’s true. Whether he really is my father. Wow, I can’t believe it!”
Callie eyed Erica, surprised by the turn of events but also by her lover’s reaction.
“Why did you leave the restaurant so abruptly?” The dark-haired beauty asked carefully.
“What did you expect me to do, sit and talk to her? She lied to me, about my heritage! If this is true, then she should have told me years ago. Like when I told her that I went to med school or that I had chosen my specialty, might have been a good moment. She kept my father from me!”
“But you seemed to have no interest in her as your mother, so she probably thought that you weren’t interested in your father either.”
Erica glared at Callie and if looks could kill, Callie would have probably died in that moment.
“How can you defend her? What she did is so different than what he did. He had no choice, his parents sent him to Switzerland! She could have kept me, had she loved me enough then she would have tried. Had she cared about me, then she wouldn’t have given me away like that. She would have tried to make it work!” Erica chocked on the last words and tears started to spill, running down her crimson cheeks. Callie had never seen Erica cry before and she was shocked by how emotional Erica - ‘The ice queen’ Erica - got. She leaned forward and hugged her lover.
“She loved you. Your mother loved you so much that she made the most difficult decision a mother can make. She gave you away so someone could take care of you the way she couldn’t. She was just a teen and yet she knew that you would be better taken care of with someone else. Hadn’t she loved you so much, she would have never given you away! Sandra told me that your mother has a photo album with all the articles you’ve ever published. She followed your life, even if it was just from a distance.”
Erica was sobbing so hard that Callie wasn’t sure whether she had heard or understood even remotely what she had said, so she repeated the words again and again “She loved you, she loved you too much.” When Erica pulled away and looked into her eyes, Callie knew that she had been listening, but whether the words had actually reached her heart was yet to be seen.
“You’re supposed to be on my side! I’m trying to throw a tantrum here and you argue logically? You are really a handful!” Erica smiled through her tears and made Callie laugh. “I am on your side. But being on your side also involves making sure that you’ll be fine in the future. I don’t want you to look back and regret what is going to happen in the next few days. Because your mother might die and you need to let go of the pain and anger. You need to find your peace with her as long as you still have the opportunity to.” The dark-haired beauty used her thumb to brush aside the tears and softly kissed her lover on the lips. Their lips lingered, barely touching but the simple gesture made Erica feel better instantly. She sighed contently and then tore herself away from Callie.
“I always felt so abandoned. Logically, I know that she did the right thing. I had loving parents and great opportunities and my parents always supported me. But something was always missing. I was so excited to finally meet my mother and then I found out that she had a family. She had kids and a husband and the whole package. She didn’t need me. She had a boy and a girl and her kids were perfectly normal kids, not the way I was. I just always felt like she was nice to me because she felt guilty about what she had done. She pitied me and she couldn’t really turn me away, could she? I was her flesh and blood after all.”
“She doesn’t pity you, she loves you. How can you not see that? She’s so proud of you, of your achievements.”
“Yeah, because she doesn’t know *me*. She just knows the me that I let her see. She doesn’t know that I’m feared by interns and residents or that I don’t feel bad when I treat Yang like crap. She has no idea who I am.”
“You have the opportunity to let her get to know you. She’s here, she’s in town, why don’t you just invite her over tomorrow. You can take the day off and get to know her. And your sister.”
“I can’t, I have surgeries tomorrow. I could invite her to dinner. But- … what if I see her and all my anger comes back? What if I see her with her daughter and see how well they know each other and that her daughter got to grow up with her mum around and I get angry again? I can’t control my feelings with her.”
“Baby, I’ll be here, okay? I’ll be here and take care of you, put you in your place if I need to.”
Erica raised her eyebrows, her eyes twinkled with an emotion Callie couldn’t quite place. “Baby?”
“Oh, just shut up. I get to call you baby if I want to. I’m taking care of you, so I get to call you baby.” Erica raised her hands in mock surrender. “Okay. I guess I should call her and see if she’s free tomorrow night. “ Erica sighed and got her phone from the purse. She stared at it, waiting for something to happen. Callie nudged her elbow and gave her a reassuring smile, so Erica sighed once more and dialed the number. It rang twice before Maria picked up, but when she did, Erica froze like a deer caught in headlights. She wanted to say something, anything, but nothing came out of her mouth. Hastily, she closed her phone and started to cry again. Callie hugged her and murmured sweet nothings into her lover’s ear. When Erica’s phone started ringing, she panicked and thrust the phone into Callie’s hands. The orthopedic surgeon saw how rapid her lover was breathing and decided to just get it over with.
“Hello?”
“Erica? This is Marie calling.”
“No, it’s Callie. Hi, I’m sorry, we just called but then hung up accidentally.”
“Oh, okay. Did Erica want to talk to me?”
“Yes. She wanted to invite you to dinner tomorrow, at her house. Will you still be in town?”
“Yes, we planned on staying for the weekend. Can I talk to her, please?” Callie looked at Erica and saw her shake her head furiously, tears still spilling down her cheeks.
“I don’t think that that’s a good idea right know. Why don’t you just come by tomorrow at seven?”
“Does she know what you are doing?”
“Yes, she does. I think you need to talk face to face and Erica is sorry that she stormed out like that, but it was a lot to process.” Erica glared at Callie again, who just shrugged.
“Okay, so seven o’clock at Erica’s house. Can you give me the address, please?” Callie furrowed her brows at Erica and gave Marie the information, then said goodbye and hang up.
“Your mother doesn’t know your address?”
“No. I always only gave her the address from the hospital.”
Callie sighed and tried not to feel sorry for Erica, as she knew the cardio goddess didn’t want pity.
“How about a hot, long bath and then I’ll get you to bed?”
“Callie, it’s not even eight!”
“Well,-” Callie batted her eyelashes and flashed Erica a grin “-I happen to know from personal experience that it takes us about two hours to go from going to bed to actually sleeping. I just want you to get enough sleep, you had an emotionally exhausting day and you’ll have one tomorrow.”
“Okay” Erica whispered and placed soft kisses on Callie’s lips, her body expressing the love she felt.
Callie filled the bath tub with bubble bath and scalding hot water, shed her cloths and got in. When Erica wanted to sit down opposite of her, she stopped her lover and told her to turn around and lean against her. She took the sponge and started slowly massaging Erica’s arms, her shoulders and her breast. She made Erica lean forward slightly and massaged her back, kneading the flesh and loosened the knots in her lover’s back, massaging the tension of the day away. Then Callie pulled Erica back and slowly teased her nipples, intrigued by the way they stood at attention as soon as she started to knead Erica’s breasts. She trailed one hand down Erica’s stomach, past her navel and into the curls. The hot water worked against her efforts to make Erica wet so she kissed her lover’s shoulders and softly asked her to move to the bed.
They didn’t bother with towels or drying their glistening bodies off but simply let the blanket take care of their wetness. The raven beauty savored the blonde’s body and took her time, exploring every inch and leaving wet kisses all over ivory skin. When Callie finally brought Erica to orgasm by sucking on her clit, Erica came hard, not only due to the physical assault but also due to the unspoken promises that Callie had left all over her body.
Callie allowed her lover to rest and catch her breath for a few moments, but she was so wet and ready herself that she straddled Erica and asked her to fuck her. Erica swiftly entered three fingers into Callie, who was more then ready and immediately started riding Erica’s hand. She climaxed fast, pearls of sweat running down between her breasts, her chocolate skin shimmering with perspiration.
“God. Wow.” Erica withdrew her fingers and locked piercing blue with dark brown eyes. She used her clean hand to push a few strands of Callie’s hair behind her ears.
“I love you.”
Callie covered her mouth with her hand, tears of joy shimmering in her eyes.
“I love you too.”
