For those of you wondering yes this is a slow burn. I'm not planning on dragging it out too long. Again your reviews mean so much to me and they do encourage me to write faster. Since it's spring break I have time, so please enjoy.

Chapter 3

Both Callie and Arizona sat down at a booth after getting their meals. They started to eat with a comfortable silence in the air. Both didn't find it awkward or seemed to mind it. Finally, Callie spoke up "so I was going to mention if you were serious about playing tennis. Because ever since you told me about it I've actually been looking forward to playing." What Callie didn't mention is she was also looking forward to playing with Arizona. There was something about the blonde that drew her in. She was intrigued by her. Apparently, Callie didn't really try to figure out why she felt like this.

"Totally, I even bragged to my girlfriend about finding a new partner" she winked at the brunette.

"Does your girlfriend not play or what?" Callie took another bite of her meal.

"She tries" Arizona laughs remembering her girlfriends last attempt. "She's just not very coordinated."

"Ah I see, well I don't want to brag but I can walk in a straight line" Callie said with a straight face.

The blonde just raised her eyebrow and started laughing when the brunette lost her straight face. Arizona rolled her eyes "haha you are very funny." She took a sip of her lemonade and asked, "so how long have you been with your girlfriend." Trying to sound as casual as she could.

"We've been together for a year and a half. Although it feels like more. Been living together for more than a year now."

"Wow that's great. Me and my partner have been together for 3 and just like you it feels like more. Although lately its been um… I'm sorry I'm here trying to throw my problems at you and we don't even know each other that well." Arizona looked down at her food. She didn't want to look at Callie right now. She felt embarrassed.

"Hey. Arizona look at me please." The brunette took a hold of the blonde's hand. "It's ok. I want to help in any way I can, or I can be here, so you can vent. I consider you a friend now and that's what friends do right? Be there for each other. I don't know maybe it's just me, but I feel like I can tell you anything. I also hope you feel that too. I won't judge. I can just listen. "

They just stood like that for what seemed minutes but in reality, it was seconds. They stared at each other. Neither breaking eye or physical contact. That was until Arizona's pager went off. Both jumped and pulled their hands apart.

"It's 911. I have to go." Arizona got up and grabbed her purse. She was just about to get to the door when she turned around. "Here this is my card. It has my cell phone number. Text me so we can set up match." Her pager went off again. "I really have to go. Let me know. Ok, bye." She ran off to the hospital.

Callie just sat there with the business card in hand. What the hell just happened. Did she and Arizona just have a moment? Was it even appropriate to have a moment with some while you have a girlfriend? And when that said someone also has a girlfriend? Well whatever the hell just happened she like it, but she couldn't like it, so she ended up not liking it. Does that make sense? She just got a headache trying to figure that one out.

Callie and Arizona had been texting each other back and forth for a week. They planned to meet up next Wednesday but Arizona got stuck in surgery. Then the next day Callie had a business meeting run long. Finally Friday they were able to both make it. Arizona texted her the address of where to meet her. They arrived at the local tennis center. It had plenty of courts and were located outside. Lucky for them the sun was out and it was a pretty hot day outside.

"Hey glad you could make it." Arizona hugged Callie. "Look at you all ready in your uniform to play. You know this is a friendly match right. We aren't in any playoffs" Arizona said as she took in Callie's appearance. The Latina had on a short tennis skirt that showed of her long toned legs. She also had a tank top on and her visor. While Arizona had on some Nike spandex and a muscle crop top.

"Look here Arizona. I'm very competitive so when I step on that court I plan on winning. To me it is the play offs. Every serve I will hit it as if it were to score the winning point. I don't play for fun. There is always a clear loser and a clear winner. And I think we both know who those titles will belong to by the end of the game." Callie got close to Arizona. Face to face and delivered her speech with such seriousness she tried her damn best to not show her smile.

Arizona just stood there. Mouth opening and closing looking for something to say but couldn't find the words. What the hell just happened?

"Oh my god Arizona I'm kidding. Jeez, you should see your face. Yes I'm competitive but I'm not batshit crazy." She put her hand on the blonde's shoulder.

Arizona just laughed and shoved the brunette just a tad bit. "Callie you freaking scared me! I was thinking to myself what the hell had I gotten myself into. I was about to just run away from you." Callie raised her eyebrow. "OK maybe not run away but start backing away slowly until I got to my car and then I would have hauled ass" Arizona joked.

They finally started playing and Callie underestimated how good Arizona really was. She was extremely good. They played for a good hour. The sun was beating down on them and they both worked up a sweat. Arizona got her towel and wiped the sweat off her face and neck. Callie couldn't help but stare as the blonde dried herself. When she took a sip of water some of it ran down from her lips to her neck and it was one of the hottest things Callie had ever seen. She snapped out of it when Arizona saw her looking at her and asked if she wanted some of her water. Callie said she had her own and bended down to get hers out of her bag. That's when Arizona saw just how that skirt made Callie's ass pop. Like wow. It looked so tight and firm, but she quickly looked away. What the hell was she doing?

"Good game. I guess you won and I lost, but I demand a rematch soon." Callie got up and started to pack up her things. "You want to go grab a smoothie or something?"

"What?" Arizona seemed to of have zoned out for a second. "Oh sorry I can't it's date night and I have to go home and shower. Maybe another time. I gotta go. See you later Calle." Arizona all but ran out of there. Truthfully she didn't have plans with Kassie. She wasn't even in Seattle. She was in California visiting her sister who just gave birth. So it was just Arizona by herself this weekend. She just needed to get away from Callie right now.

Ever since meeting her she started having more and more thoughts about her. They started out innocent. Like oh I wonder what Callie is doing right now? Or if something interesting happened to her the first person she wanted to tell was Callie. Not her girlfriend but Callie. Her friend. That's all she was. But soon the thoughts started to turn a little perverted if she was being honest. Like how she wondered how tight and firm Callie's ass was and how it would feel to have her hands on it. She didn't like that. She needed those thoughts to stop so she decided to just go home.

Later that evening she couldn't get Callie out of her head. Her phone started ringing and she secretly hoped it was Callie. She looked at it and saw it was her girlfriend. She was a bit disappointed when she sew who it was. Wait why should she feel disappointed when her GIRLFRIEND was calling?

"Hey babe, how's it going over there?" Arizona asked Kassie. They talked for about 20 minutes. Kassie reminded her to pick her up at the airport Sunday afternoon. After that Arizona just decided to go to ed. Tomorrow will be another day.

Saturday rolled around, and Arizona went grocery shopping, cleaned the apartment, and went for a run. She was bored out of her mind and the one person she wanted to call she couldn't. First, because Callie also had a life and a girlfriend. What if they had plans? Second, she was conflicted about her feeling for said friend. This wasn't normal feeling you have for a friend. She and April had been friends for years and never felt anything like what she was feeling right now. April! She decided to see if she was free and wanted to come over and have a girl's night. She texted her.

Hey April, are you busy tonight? – Arizona

No, Jackson and I were supposed to go have diner but he's being such a jerk that I decided to cancel. – April

Want to come over and have a girl's night in? – Arizona

Yay sounds like fun. Need me to bring anything? – April

Nope I have wine and we can just order food when you get here. – Arizona

Ok, I'll be there in 20 - April

April showed up to Arizona's apartment. She asked where Kassie was, and Arizona told her she was out of town. They talked about April and Jackson and their relationship problems. How April wanted to have a baby, but Jackson wasn't ready yet. How maybe they should wait a couple more moths. They had been married for 2 years and every time April brought up the baby conversation Jackson always said they weren't ready. While April was ranting about Jackson Arizona just nodded along but didn't really pay attention.

"Yes and then I said oh a threesome sounds fun but why stop there? Lets go for a foursome while were at it" April said as she stared at the blonde.

"Yeah that sounds good" Arizona replied not really paying attention to anything April had just said.

"Ok, what's going on with you. I just said I was going to have a foursome and you agreed."

"Wait you want to have a foursome with me? April you are my best friend but there is a line to what I would do for you." She said drawing an imaginary line between them too.

April rolled her eyes. "Will you just tell me what's bothering you, because clearly something is."

Arizona proceeded to tell her about all her feelings she's been having for Callie. She goes into detail about the thoughts and dreams.

"Wow. Seems like you have a crush on Callie" April said as she took a sip from her drink.

"What? A crush on Callie. That's ridiculous, that's preposterous, that's about right huh? I have a crush on a woman that isn't my girlfriend." Arizona whispered that last part. Saying it more to herself. She had a crush on Callie Torres.

"Yes my friend" April put her arm on Arizona's Shoulders. "And from what I can tell you got it bad."

Arizona put her face in her hands and rubbed her temples. "What am I going to do now?"

"Well you can always wiki how to stop having an inappropriate crush" April stated laughing at her own joke.

"I'm glad my crappy situation can at least bring someone else some joy."

"Wait look there actually is one. Ok step 1: consider all the reasons why it's a bad idea." April started dreading out the list.

"Ok why is it a bad idea? Well for starters with both have partners, so got that one down. Next."

"Step 2: if your crush is inappropriate because you're already in a relationship, consider your background and whether your new crush could be undermining your relationship." April read off the second step.

"Hm, no I don't think that has anything to do with this one. Next. Wait you know what this is stupid. I just have to get over this silly crush. That's it. I should probably keep my distance from her for a while. Keep the texting to a minimum. Ugh why is this happening to me?" Arizona screamed at no one.

"Are you sure you want to get over this crush?" April asked.

Arizona just turned and looked at her as if she had grown 2 heads. "Of course I do April. Why would you even ask that? I love Kassie and I want to be with her. I want her. It's her." She told April but truthfully she was telling herself that. It was Kassie. It needed to be Kassie. Because if she went after Callie only for the brunette to reject her. She didn't know if she could take that kind of heartbreak.

Sorry if there are any mistakes. Its almost 3am and I wanted to get something out by tonight.
