“Great! Thanks!”
“And good luck to you.” Julia reached out her hand and waited for Ali to shake. Ali hoped her palms weren’t as sweaty as she felt they were, but it was finally happening, and she didn’t want anything to hinder that. Yet, she also didn’t want anything to hinder her getting closer to Jo. She finally shook her hand and thanked her before quickly leaving Julia’s office.
Everything would work out. They just had to. She was excited for the future with CAPMed and excited for what could come with Jo. Ali sought out Jo after her meeting. They were both working the same late shift, and she wanted to see if they could have a few stolen moments together.
She spotted her coming out of a patient’s room and glanced around to find they were the only two in the corridor. “Hey, will you help me grab some sheets?”
“Sure thing.” Jo dropped off a file folder at the nurse’s station and followed Ali to the supply closet. The minute Ali got the door shut behind them, she locked it and then turned to face Jo. “What are you doing?” Jo asked, a smile crossing her lips.
“I needed to get you alone.” Ali moved in, wrapped her hand around Jo’s neck, and then drew her in with a kiss. Her tongue swooped in and claimed a gentle moan that came from Jo. She pressed Jo back against the shelving unit, and the kiss lingered, her hand grabbing hold of Jo’s pants and pulling her closer.
“Ali,” Jo groaned. “We could get caught,” she breathlessly stated, letting their lips part ever so briefly.
“Not happening,” Ali whispered. “I’ll be careful.” She pulled Jo hard up against her and then hungrily kissed her. Jo snaked her arms around her and didn’t speak about her worries again while they kept entangled with one another. She wasn’t sure how long they’d been making out in the supply closet when the call light dinged.
Jo pulled away and looked up at the light, then smirked. “All good things must come to an end. But I was thinking that maybe you and I could get together after we leave here tonight.”
“Nine o’clock?” Ali asked. “What’d you have in mind?”
Jo moved in closer and shrugged. “I mean, I do have sheets at my apartment. If you want to come help me there.” She winked, and Ali knew that she was hooked.
“Nine o’clock, it is. I’ll meet you at the lockers.”
Jo kissed her quickly before unlocking the door and rushing out of the supply closet. Ali smiled and grabbed some sheets, before tossing a look over to the door. It was going to work out. She just had a good feeling.
Jo was waiting, leaning against her locker, by the time Ali arrived. “I’m sorry I’m late,” Ali replied, quickly grabbing her things, and slamming her locker shut. She then looked to make sure no one was around before stealing a kiss.
“No worries. Just patiently waiting.” Jo continued to grin. Ali snickered. To her, there was nothing patient about the rest of the shift. She couldn’t wait until they got to Jo’s apartment. But she had to put forth her work ethic and work through it. Eventually, she was able to forget about the woman waiting at the end of her shift.
They left the hospital, keeping their distance. And when they got to the parking lot, Ali led the way to her car. Was she nervous? A tad, but she hoped this would be the night she’d been anticipating since they shared their first kiss and had plenty of heated exchanges over the phone, so there wasn’t anything to fret over.
She unlocked the door, and Jo slid into the passenger side. Ali hesitated in the driver’s seat, until she turned and looked at Jo, who was beaming. She leaned in and kissed her softly. “Are you nervous?” Ali asked.
Jo licked her lower lip, then shrugged. “More excited, than anything.” She reached out and held Ali’s hand, and that was for the entire ride to Jo’s apartment. Jo gave directions without missing a beat. Her hand was warm in Ali’s and Ali fought the urge to lift it to her lips and kiss her between her fingers. She was desperate to get her between her sheets. “You can park anywhere in the second row.”
Ali whipped into a parking spot and then parked the car, and they got out. She walked around and took Jo’s hand in hers. It was nice not to have to worry about anyone seeing them. It was great to just be living in the moment, anxious for what the night would give them. Jo was the one to lead them up the steps and to her apartment. She went to unlock the door, but she was fiddling with the keys and Ali noticed her shaking.
Ali reached out and touched her hand, to which Jo looked up and smiled. “Maybe a little nervous.”
Ali held her hand, helping her to guide the key in and unlock the door. She could understand. It’d been a while since she’d been intimate with a woman and that didn’t end so well, but they would get through this together. When they opened the door, a dog came running towards them, his tail wagging.
“This is Maverick.” Jo leaned down and looked up at Ali. “Maverick, this is Ali. You be good to her.”
Ali knelt down in front of him and ruffled her hand behind his ear. “Hello, Maverick.” He leaned in and licked her on the nose.
Jo laughed. “I’m so sorry. That just means he likes you.”
Ali smiled wider. “I don’t mind.” She kissed him on the forehead and continued to pet him. “He’s a handsome fella.” She patted him on the top of the head and then looked around her apartment. “You have a nice place here.”
“Thank you!” Jo stood up and shrugged. “It isn’t much, but it’s home.” She then moved towards a hallway. “Do you want something to drink? I have tea, water, wine…”
Ali shook her head. She just wanted to be with Jo. No drink would suffice her, but that. “I’m not thirsty,” she replied. “At least not for anything like that.” She snickered and Jo moved in closer to her.
“I have been thinking about this all night,” Jo stated. She brushed the back of her hand against Ali’s cheek. Ali closed her eyes and took in the feeling for a moment before opening her eyes and moving in to capture her lips against Jo’s. Their tongues collided in a bolt of energy, and Ali reached her hand up Jo’s back to latch onto her bra. She held her fingers there and the kiss lingered.
“Where are your sheets?” Ali breathlessly asked.
Jo parted from the embrace and grabbed Ali’s other hand. She pulled her down a hall and to a bedroom. She pulled Ali down onto the bed, and they resumed the kissing. Ali could hear Jo’s heart racing as loud as her own. With one hand clutching Jo’s bra and the other pressing Jo down to the bed, she shifted and straddled Jo in her bed. She helped get Jo out of her shirt before flicking her wrist and removing her bra. Jo slid free of her bra and then worked to help Ali shed some clothes.
