A/N:Well I was babysitting my 2 year old nephew and I was putting him to bed and he didn't let me leave. So as I sat there a lot of ideas came to my head. So you can thank his stubborn little ass for this :)
The women didn't know if the worst part was over yet. They had a lot to work out and they would have to tell Mark that he's not going to Tenerife.
They saw Mark eating at one of the ice-cream bars and walked over to him.
"Hey, it looks like everything worked out fine" He said looking between the women with a smug face. "All good between us Ariz-"
He didn't get to finish his question before Arizona punched his face, kneed him in the family jewels and smashed his ice cream in his face.
"Ouch" She yelled "Damn that hurt" She tried to shake of the pain from her hand, but it didn't work.
"God Arizona are you ok?" Callie asked Arizona. "Let me look at your hand" She looked at her hand and Arizona winced in pain "It probably isn't broken, God Arizona you shouldn't have done that"
Neither women even looked at Mark, Arizona didn't really care and Callie was occupied with the blonde. After a few seconds Callie realized what really happened and turned to Mark.
"Are you okay Mark?" Callie asked Mark. He was bent holding one hand between his legs and with the other one he tried to wipe away the ice cream.
"Yeah, I'm good" He gave her thumbs up "But Robbins is a psycho. She's lucky she's not a man" He said looking annoyed.
"Oh shut up manwhore!" Arizona yelled "You should be happy that I didn't stab you in your sleep for sleeping with my gir- um with Calliope" She corrected herself, technically Callie wasn't hers anymore.
Callie was a bit disappointed that Arizona corrected herself, but they did have a lot to work through.
"Guys, you're causing a scene" Callie was clearly embarrassed. "Now apologize"
"NO!" Arizona and Mark yelled in unison.
"Okay fine" Callie said, she wasn't really surprised that they didn't want to apologize to each other. They both are stubborn people.
They stood in silence for a few seconds. Mark was trying to wipe away the last of the ice cream and Arizona's hand was getting better. Finally Arizona looked at Callie and waited for Callie to say something, but Callie felt bad for Mark.
"Are you going to tell him?" Arizona asked
"Tell me what?" Mark looked at Callie.
"That your ass isn't going to Tenerife" Arizona said, she didn't feel bad for Mark. At all.
"What?" Mark yelled "Why am I not going?" Mark asked dumbfounded
"Um" Callie started but she couldn't form words.
Mark looked at Arizona and saw her smiling and then the light went up.
"Really? No really? You're taking her? You've been crying yourself to sleep every night since she's gone and now you're all happy and shiny again!" Mark was clearly annoyed and worried that his friend was making a rash decision.
Arizona felt bad knowing that Callie had cried herself to sleep countless nights, she knew that there was a possibility for it, but hell it still hurt knowing that she caused it.
"Mark..I'm sorry, you can go wherever you want okay? I'll even pay for it. But I need to work this out with Arizona" Callie said to Mark
He came closer and pulled her into a hug.
"Yeah..Torres I get that, I wanna go to Barcelona, the chicks are crazy over there" He said and Callie laughed at him
"No problem Mark…thanks you're the best" She smiled at him
"Ya ya I know I'm great, now get going" He said and then he looked over to Arizona "And you better not hurt her again, next time I won't take that you're a woman in consideration".
"Well I'm a military kid so you wouldn't be able to take med down anyways" She gave him a dimpled smile.
Mark shook his head and laughed
"Yeah whatever Robbins"
"I think we should go fix your ticket Arizona" Callie said
Callie gave Mark another hug. Arizona and Mark exchanged nods and walked away.
Mark stood alone and felt some happiness for his friend, hell he was even happy for Arizona even though she's a bitch. He also felt some excruciating pain in his lower regions.
"My penis better heal before I get to Barca" He muttered to himself.
Arizona and Callie went and fixed the ticket and soon they were on their way to Tenerife. The mood between them was tense; they had some big issues to deal with. The plane ride was very quiet, Callie slept through the short trip.
When they got to the island they went to the hotel immediately. The pair had decided to keep separate rooms, at least for now. Both Callie and Arizona wanted to jump each other's bones, but knew that it was the wrong thing to do in this situation.
At night they went down to the hotel restaurant to eat. Callie wore a beautiful velvet dress that showed of her cleavage, Arizona gulped when she saw her. Arizona wore a short pink dress; they weren't really planning on something to happen.
Callie decided to break the ice at dinner
"Nice tan" She smirked at the blonde
"Thanks" Arizona said sarcastically "It matches my dress right?" She smiled and Callie was happy to see her dimples again.
"Yeah it really does, but you're as hot as always" Callie said and immediately regretted being so forward. Arizona drew a nervous cough, why were they this awkward around each other?
"Maybe we should order" Arizona said raising her eyebrows.
"Yeah" Callie said and took the menu
"Crap" Arizona said.
"What is something wrong?" Callie asked her worried.
"No..I mean yes, it's all in Spanish. I'll just get tacos" Arizona said
Callie laughed at the cuteness.
"Hon- um.. Arizona tacos is Mexican" She almost said honey to Arizona which was too soon. Arizona knew that too, but still she was a bit disappointed that Callie corrected herself.
"Yeah right..I knew that" Arizona tried to cover up her little ignorance.
"Sure" Callie said sarcastically "Let's just get the paella okay?" She asked
"Paella sounds nice…and some white wine…and red for you" Arizona smiled.
The dinner went along well, they talked mostly about abstract things like what hikes they would take and stuff. No Africa talk and certainly no talk about what happened at the airport four months ago.
It was getting late and they both were drunk to say the least, both women had downed two bottles of wine. Sure they ate a lot, but still two bottles of wine is plenty of alcohol.
They were walking back to their rooms and stopped at the number 234 and 235. Two rooms opposite from each other.
"Here we are" Callie was first to speak
"Yeah" Arizona whispered "Good night Calliope" She said quickly turning around.
However the brunette grabbed her by the arm and kissed her. The kiss didn't have the chance to become more intimate before Callie pulled away.
"Good night Arizona" She smiled and walked into her room.
Arizona stood motionless touching her own lips, still feeling Callie's lips on her own.
Both women got to bed and Callie fell asleep immediately for the first time in months. Arizona however had trouble falling asleep; this had been an intense day. Slowly she drifted off to sleep, but as always the tiny coffins haunted her. She woke up with a jerk and was afraid to close her eyes again. She got up and took some water before walking out on the balcony. She took in the view, hearing the waves and feeling the hot breeze. The sun was starting to rise. When she got back to bed she couldn't fall asleep and she knew the one thing that would help her.
Callie woke up hearing knocks on the door. She quickly grabbed her robe and peeked through the peephole and saw Arizona standing outside looking like she wanted to run away. She opened the door and saw the blue eyes she wanted to drown in.
"I had bad dreams, and now I feel like a stupid kid going to his mom crying" Arizona said with regret in her voice, burying her hands in her blonde curls from frustration.
Callie said nothing she just pulled the blonde in and led her to the bed.
They both got into bed and Callie held her from behind taking in the blondes scent. Callie knew about Arizona's bad dreams. She had wondered at night if Arizona had bad dreams down in Malawi.
Tonight was only about her keeping Arizona safe from her dreams.
Arizona hadn't felt this safe in months, feeling Callie's closeness made her go crazy. The alcohol mixed with no sex for four months made her want to take Callie then and there. However somehow she felt like this was better than sex.
This was love.
Review and make my day :)
