Arizona's POV
Friday night was awesome. I'm now a legend with Meredith and Christina and I have become better friends with everyone else too. Good night all round. I do feel a little guilty for what happened with Callie, I may have used the fact that I knew she liked the ladies against her by flirting with her. It's not my fault how much it affected her, no one can resist the Robbins charm. I'm sure I won't be seeing much of her anyway. Today is Sunday, and I'm getting ready for my first soccer game. Teddy plays for the local team and when she heard I used to play she convinced me to join. I have been training for the last two weeks and today the coach said he would give me a run out today.
I join Teddy and the rest of the team in the dressing room to get kitted out. 'Good night on Friday. You sure put Torres in her place' she laughs. 'I hope she doesn't hold it against me, I did play a little unfair, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do'. Teddy just smiles at me 'If I know her it will just make her want you more. Come on we got a team to beat'.
I start on the bench, which is good with me, I'm pretty sure my fitness will only last about 15 minutes anyway, so hopefully I will get a run towards the end of the game. The first half is uneventful. No score at half time. Twenty minutes in and the other team scores. Immediately the coach yells at me to warm up. Crap, I'm going to have to play. The next time the ball goes out of play I am put on. I play up-front, no pressure to score so eh? I get a few early touches and passes in to settle my nerves but time is ticking away and I haven't had a chance to score yet. Teddy makes a break down the left towards the by-line and I bolt towards the goal. She crosses the ball in and I dive towards the ball and make contact with my head. Unfortunately for me the defender tries to clear the ball with her foot and makes direct contact with my head. On the plus side I scored as I can hear the crowd cheering, but I can't get off the grass, I have a searing pain in my head and I momentarily black out.
As I come too, there is a crowd around me fussing about. I put my hand to my head and there is blood. Awesome. They help me up and I get put into a car on route to the hospital. Looks like I'm going to need stitches. Great first game.
Callie's POV
I'm at work. It's Sunday and for the past 48 hours I can't get Arizona out of my head. It's annoying me. A woman I barely know should not have this effect on me. I'm a lady killer, a love 'em and leave 'em type and I never think of them again. So, why is this woman who I haven't even kissed yet stuck in my head. Eug, I need to stop thinking about her, I need a distraction, work, a patient, anything. I get paged to the ER. Sweet, here is my distraction. 'What have we got' I ask excitedly. '30 year old woman, playing soccer, took a kick to the head, lost consciousness at the scene but regained it, laceration probably requiring 6 stitches' an intern replies. I draw back the curtain and I immediately see who it is, Arizona. Crap, she is hurt and now she is my patient which means I'm responsible for her health. 'Order a head CT' I bark. She looks a bit out of it so she probably has a concussion. Teddy is with her holding her hand, and I feel a twinge of jealously. She looks super hot in her kit, nice legs, stop Callie, she needs you to be a professional here.
'Hey Arizona, how you feeling, it looks like you took a nasty blow to the head there.' She looks at me with sad eyes, and I can tell she is in pain and it hurts my heart a little. 'Yeah' she replies and looks back to the floor. Teddy gets up and leaves us. I perform a head exam and all her responses are good. 'You seem fine but you lost consciousness so I'm going to sent you for a CT and I am also going to keep you here for the night, just for observation'. 'Ok' she states, she seems so sad, not like the perky confidant woman I met on Friday night. 'I'm going to need to stitch up your head wound, I'll give you a local anaesthetic to numb the pain'. She nods and I begin. I give her the injection and she doesn't flinch, I carefully stitch her up, spending way longer than I usually would. 'There, all done, I'm going to wait with you here until they call you for your CT, ok?'. 'You don't have to wait with me, I'm sure you have more important things to be doing...Calliope' she says. 'I want to wait with you, and they will page me if they need me anywhere else' Crap, she has seen my name tag, but I'll let that one slide...for now. She smiles, yeah, I got her to smile. She takes my hand and my heart skips a beat. 'Thank you for looking after me. And, I'm sorry for what happened on Friday night, I didn't mean to show you up or embarrass you. Things just got a little out of hand'. I give her hand a gentle squeeze 'Don't worry about it, I had fun playing with you...maybe we could...' I get interrupted by an intern telling me that her CT is ready. Damn it, moment lost.
Arizona's POV
As they wheel me down toward my CT scan, Callie comes with us. I'm still feeling a little off but there may have been a potential moment happening there before we got interrupted but I'm not sure. The scan takes only about a minute and they wheel me towards my room. I get changed into one of those horrible hospital gowns and get into bed. My head is thumping and I close my eyes and drift off. When I open my eyes she is sitting by my bed looking at me. 'Your scan came back all clear. I told Teddy that you were fine and she will come tomorrow to discharge you. It's now nearly 9pm so unfortunately visiting hours are over but Teddy dropped in your stuff so you can use your phone to call people if you want' she tells me. I nod. 'What are the chances of getting some food, I am starving' I ask her. 'Luckily for you the cafeteria is closed, but there is a little pizza place around the corner, I can get you some if you want, I wouldn't mind some pizza myself, that is, if you don't mind sharing' she answers nervously. 'Of course I don't mind, in fact I insist, considering all you have done for me today' I give her my best smile.
Callie's POV
I send an intern off to get our pizza and some soft drinks. My shift is finished for the night but I really want to spend some time with Arizona so I head to the locker room and change. On my way back I collect the pizza from the intern and head towards her room. 'Hey, I got pizza' I inform her. Her eyes light up and I sit in the chair by her bed. I take a slice of pizza put it on a plate, along with two napkins and pass it to her as well as a cola. She takes a bite and makes the sexist 'mmm' noise. Luckily she is too busy wolfing down the pizza to see my reaction and that gives me time to recompose myself. She eats four slices before collapsing back on her pillow. 'Wow, that was almost better than sex' she states. I choke on the piece of pizza I am eating. 'Are you ok there Calliope' she asks with a smile. 'Ah, yeah, just my pizza went down the, ah, wrong way'. Busted. We spend the next hour just chatting about anything and everything. It is ridiculous how easy I find it to talk with her. She yawns and I see that as my cue to leave her get some rest. 'Alright, I'm going to leave so you can get some rest'. She looks a bit disappointed but agrees. 'Thanks again for looking after me tonight, and for the pizza, it was awesome. Good night Calliope' she says. 'Sweet dreams Arizona'. I know mine will be.
