Summary: Callie and Arizona met, they did kiss in the bathroom at Joe's but that's where it stopped. Arizona never changed her mind on Callie being a newborn.
Callie was exhausted. She hadn't even been asleep for 2 hours before her pager yanked her back to Seattle Grace. 4 hours later and she had already lost 3 patients in the ER.
"Torres." Mark called out from behind her at the nurse's station. She turned around to face him as he jogged up in front of her.
"What Mark?"
"Geez Cal. Who kept you up all night?"
Callie rolled her eyes at him and turned back around to the chart in front of her. "Is there something you legitimately need Mark?"
"Can't I just come over and say 'hello' to my best friend?"
"Most people can, yes. You, no. So what is it?" She was quickly losing patience as he continued to dodge her question. "Is this about girl's night tonight?"
"I'm just curious what this girl's night is going to entail. Normally you all go to Joe's or you play baseball. I'm surprised you all decided to go to Meredith's."
"Seriously Mark. We decided to mix it up. Everyone gets off at different times but almost all of us are off tomorrow. This way no one has to try to drive home or call cabs. We can all get as drunk as humanly possible and sleep it off there."
Mark smiled at her. She could see the wheels turning inside his perverted mind. "Blondie coming?"
And there it was…his motive. "Yes Mark. Arizona will be there. She is a girl."
"Think she'll get drunk and push you up against another sink?"
"Mark. Stop. Seriously. If you like little Sloan at all, then you're going to stop this conversation, or I will break it. Lexie's got nothing on these hands."
Mark gulped hard and took a step away from her. "I was just being a concerned friend Cal. No need to get so damn hostile."
"You were not trying to be a good friend. You were trying to be my perverted man whore friend, not my concerned friend. I swear, one more question about my sex life and I'm going to Lexie. I'll say this once. Arizona was a fluke. She's with Julie and I'm getting my stuff together. I've got a lot of exploring to do. She's right."
"She's not right. I've seen her look at you; I don't think she's so sure of those words either."
"What?" Callie's demeanor instantly changed as she looked hopefully at Mark.
"She watches you Callie. When you're working, when you're charting. She always asks about you. That doesn't seem very friendly if you ask me."
"Mark you have horrible perception of feelings. I'm a rockstar. It's kind of impossible to not watch me working." She smiled cockily, trying to downplay her disappointment.
"Whatever Cal. When she throws you against another sink I'll have the last laugh."
Neither of them heard the approach of the wheelies from behind them. "What are we talking about?"
Both Mark and Callie whipped around to see the blonde behind them flashing her dimples. Callie couldn't help but linger at her bright blue eyes. Mark chuckled to himself as he watched the two women lock eyes. "We were just discussing Cal's sex life…or lack…" before he could finish his sentence Callie elbowed him in the stomach.
Arizona missed the elbow to the gut as she tore her eyes from Callie. "Mark! Are you ok?" Callie couldn't help but smile at Arizona's compassion.
"He's fine. Muscle spasm, right Mark?"
"Right. Muscle spasm." Mark straightened his back and smiled at the blonde.
"I guess Calliope's sex life could cause muscle spasms." Arizona shot Mark a wink as his face instantly brightened at her statement.
"Wha-what? I'm n-not. I mean I-I am." Callie couldn't begin to form whole sentences. She didn't want Arizona to think she was a slut or anything.
Arizona patted her on the shoulder, trying to ease her nerves. "Calliope, it's ok. This is what you're supposed to do. Experiment, have loads of sex, love all the women you can. It's awesome." Arizona flashed Callie a smile as she ran her hand down her back. She let her hand linger on the small patch of skin above Callie's scrub pants. Callie's face flushed as soon as she felt Arizona's hand run down her back. When she felt fingertips on her skin, she felt like she was on fire. She couldn't breathe. All she could process was the smug smirk on Marks face. Before Callie could do anything she felt the loss of contact and saw Arizona pushing off her foot and skating down the hall.
"Friends my ass. Feeling ok there Cal."
"Suck it Mark." Callie laid down the chart and walked back toward the ER.
"Tequila Time!" Christina shouted as she entered the resident's lounge.
"I'm so excited. I can't even remember the last time I had a night just the girls." Lexie stopped to pull her scrub top over her head. "Well except for that time we all drank tequila."
"You better be ready Little Grey. Sloan isn't going to be there to protect you. Tomorrow you're going to wish you were dead." Christina smiled as Lexie's eyes grew wide.
"Calm down Lex. She's kidding. Well kind of kidding. Just don't try to go shot for shot with her. You probably will actually die."
Before Lexie could respond Bailey's head appeared inside the door. "You sorry excuses for surgeons ready?"
"Ready for what?" Meredith silently hoped they were not getting drug into staying at the hospital. She really needed a drink.
"Unless I'm mistaken I was invited to drink tequila. Grey I hope you're not losing it already since we are going to your home." Bailey quickly turned and headed out the door.
"Bailey's coming? Christina when did Bailey become part of tequila and dancing?"
"She was standing with Callie yesterday and Callie asked me about what she needed to bring. Bailey's a girl, it'll be fun. Just go with it." With that Christina walked out of the lounge.
"This is going to be such a long night." Meredith muttered under her breathe as she started out the door.
"Wait, I'm coming!" Lexie sprinted out behind her still pulling on her shirt.
'Okay, I can do this. I'm with Julie, she's experimenting. She's doing what I told her.' Arizona straightened her blouse and checked her watch. She had 5 minutes before she was supposed to meet the girls downstairs to follow them to Meredith's. She picked up her purse and headed for the door. Looking down into her purse for her cell phone she didn't see the door flying toward her until it was too late.
"Owww!" She yelled out as she was slammed back onto the floor. "What the hell? Did I miss the fire?" Arizona's back hurt, she was going to be late, and the person was still on top of her.
"It was an accident, god." Callie began to pull back until she locked eyes with the blonde. "Arizona! Oh my god, I'm sorry! Are you okay?" Callie began looking at Arizona's arms and head. Arizona's eyes softened and she grabbed Callie by the wrist.
Callie instantly froze. "Calliope, I'm ok, just shocked."
"I could've- I did- Ariz-" Callie stuttered out until she felt the slim pale digit pressed against her soft lips.
"Breathe. I promise I'm fine. No broken bones. No concussion. Slight trouble breathing."
"You can't breathe? Oh my god, Arizona."
"Calliope. You're on top of me!" Callie instantly felt like an idiot.
"Oh! I'm sorry." Callie shifted back on her knees and stood. She stuck her hand out to help Arizona up. Arizona took her hand, Callie pulled a little too hard as Arizona jumped up too fast. Arizona's body projected forward into Callie, pushing her back into the door.
"Oops." Was all Arizona could muster as she felt Callie's chest pound against hers. Her eyes drifted down to the brunettes as her tongue snaked out to wet her plump red lips. Arizona leaned forward as Callie ran her hand against the exposed skin above Arizona's hipbone. Her fingers slipped under the raised shirt. Arizona was waiting for Callie to take the last little bit to kiss her. Trying to focus on something other than the skin of her side feeling like electricity was dancing on her skin.
"Ari…" Just as Callie moved to press her lips to the blonde's she heard it "Roller Girl!"
They sprang apart as Arizona smoothed down her top. Just as she managed to cover her abdomen she locked eyes with an oblivious Christina. "If you're following us then you need to come on. Cal you remember how to get there right?"
"Uh yea, yea I do Christina. I've got to shower then I'll be there." Callie began moving toward her locker, trying not to look at Arizona.
"See you soon Cal. Come on." Christina held the door open as Arizona grabbed her purse off the floor and followed her with one last glance toward Callie.
As soon as she heard the door close she sat down on the bench, running her hand through her dark locks. "God this is going to be a long night."
