Chapter 3

Arizona's POV

My life is pretty back to normal, well as normal as you can get. Mark has finally backed off and I can tell Callie appreciates it. It's a great thing when two of the most important people in my life are finally getting along. Granted it has a lot of boundaries, it still exists. Callie has given me a couple days out of the week for Mark and me to have some time together when we can. I mentioned to her that he was only acting the way he was because he got jealous of how much time we have. She seems to think it's more than jealousy but I doubt it. She doesn't like to stick around when him and I hang out so she runs errands, goes to Addison's or Teddy's or works out. I don't take offense to it, she has valid reasons to not like him.

I'm in my office trying to get rid of the charts stacked up on my desk. Not really making a dent but it's worth a shot. I'm not really sure how things are for Callie and me today. Mark has been good about being less like himself ever since our talk but then we kind of took a steps backwards. I recline back in my chair and link my hands together thinking back to this morning.


Flashback

Earlier this morning…

"Unghhh, baby…" She moans out loud. Ever since Owen and Cristina got their own place we can be as loud as we want and have sex wherever we want without Cristina's comments or worrying about either of them over hearing us. It's such a blessing. Calliope's laid out on the side table next to the couch with me thrusting myself into her. Waking up to my girl kissing my weak spots to pull me out of my sleep got me so turned on and forced to put her into this position right now.

Pulling my fingers out of her entrance and I kiss the side of her mouth; she licks down the side of my neck collecting the sweat that's gathering there. My skin tingles at every touch.

"Do you know how much I want you? Like all the time?" I ask her. My teeth graze her collarbone while her finger tips scratch at the sides of my breast down.

"You tell me." She grunts.

"Every time you come across my mind or every time I see you at any given time I want to fuck you senseless." Callie moans at my words because I know she's the same way with me. I always want her no matter the circumstances.

I trail kisses down the center of her body. My tongue swirls around her navel and travel onto her mound. My hands come under the bend of her knees and pull her caramel legs apart. Calliope's feet lightly settle on my arms. Her favorite muscle of mine works in between her velvety folds. She buries her hands in my hair to keep me in place. I flick at her hard clit the way that keeps her on the edge.

"Arizona… Please." Callie breathes out.

I don't keep her waiting much longer and lash at her bundle of nerves. We were so into our sexcapade that we didn't notice a key turning in the lock.

"Hey Robbins!" Mark burst through the door. I lift my head from my safe place.

"MARK!" I screech. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" Callie yells trying to cover herself up with her hands but it isn't exactly working.

"Niceeee. No need to stop on my account. Good rack Cal." He stares at her chest. I chuck a pillow in his direction. Jealously starts to bubble within in me, no one gets to look at her boobs besides me.

I rip the blankets off the back of the couch and wrap Calliope in one and myself in the other as quickly as possible. She removes herself from the side table. Her face is so red and I can't tell if it's from embarrassment or from pure anger. A storm is brewing in brown eyes I love so much. She goes to our bedroom and I flinch at the door slamming.

"OUT!" I try to cover my bases of getting him out so I can keep myself from trouble. We haven't locked our door but one of Callie's 'rules' is that he knocks before barging in. I won't be able to climb myself out of this hole because I was supposed to take his key away from him a month ago when we talked about my friendship with him.

"I need your expertise. Lexie is pissed at me for some stupid reason" I attempt to push him out the door by the shoulders but he leans his weight back.

"Mark! Seriously leave!"

"Come on. Just help me out and I'll go."

"Fine, hurry up. I'm giving you 2 minutes." I wrap the blanket around my body tighter. The longer I wait I know the longer Calliope is stewing in her head. I rock on my heels feeling nervous from the wrath aimed at me.

"She's mad at me for looking at women. I can't help it. I'm not used to this girlfriend thing. I don't do anything about it anymore or flirt with them. I just look but don't touch. Is there something wrong with that?" I breathe out a long sigh.

"Mark… You're in a relationship now. You can't stare either. It doesn't make her feel better when you say stuff like that. Everyone knows you as the guy who had the nurses conjure a strike against because they refused to work with you after you slept with them. You're playing on her biggest insecurity. So you have to stop looking. And now you need to go."

"But-"

"Nope, bye."

"Okay. Go finish your activities." He winks at me with a sly grin.

"No, I'm gonna try to save my ass. You need to knock! I told you!" I shut the door in his face and turn to face my doom. But as soon as the door is shut the bedroom door opens, I see my hot girlfriend dressed to go to work already. She grabs her leather jacket and sits down on the couch to zip up her knee high boots.

"Uhm…I'm sorry about him. He just needed some advice with Lexie." I tread lightly.

Calliope stands up and smiles at me. I'm confused by the facial expression but her eyes are obsidian right now letting me know I'm far from the clear. She kisses me lightly and grabs for the door knob.

"Love you. Maybe I'll see you at work." I don't get the change to reciprocate the sentiment because she just leaves me in her dust. I gulp at having to wait out the consequences.


A knock at my door takes me away from my memory. I look up to see Teddy standing in the door way with her arm crossed. I'm not sure the reason for the visit but if she's talked or seen Callie then it might not be a good one.

"Hey Teddy. What's up?"

"I wanted to ask if you and Cal wanted to go to Joe's tonight. Most of us have the night off and we figured we could make a night of it since it doesn't happen a lot." She smiles sweetly.

"Sure. I'll text her to make sure we don't have anything going on." A night out with all our friends might be a good buffer for us.

"How are things with you two?" She plops herself down on the chair across from my desk.

"Great really but she might be upset with me but I'm not entirely sure."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you seen or talked to her today?"

"Nope, she's been MIA."

"Oh, well that might have something to do with me."

"What happened?" Teddy gives me an amused stare.

Before I can even tell her what happened my pager rings. I give her an apologetic smile and she nods towards the door. As surgeons we have a mutual understanding of what it means when that pager goes off.


Later that night...

Teddy, Derek, Cristina, Mark, Lexie, Meredith and I have started our night out at Joe's. We grouped a few tables together. Cristina and Meredith are jumping around ridiculous but what they call dancing on the make shift dance floor. Teddy and Derek discuss a case that has them at a stalemate as of late. Mark, Lexie and I are arguing about his stupidity over looking at other women. He's comparing it to window shopping.

"Seriously though, how is it not?" He still pushes.

"If I were you Mark, I would shut up." I warn him.

"You better listen to your best- woah."

"Damn."

Everyone has turned their attention to whoever walked into the bar. I haven't paid attention to who is it. I'm still waiting on Calliope to get here. Mark nudges his elbow into my side. I glare at him but he shifts his eyes to the door. I turn to see what the big deal is, for my breath to hitch at the view. Calliope is in a mouthwatering outfit and not to mention my favorite one. Just like in the movies, time slowed down and everything fades away and my eyes tune into her and her only. In typical style, my gorgeous girlfriend struts to me. Her black leather jacket snugs at her arm perfectly showing off her strong arms. The red top she's wearing is one shoulder hugging around her breasts giving me a glorious cleavage. My mouth is dry but wet in other places. It clings at her soft torso but displays an inch of skin. Dark wash skinny jeans look like they are painted on and her firm ass is screaming for me to squeeze. But the black knee high boots give that lift in her calves. I don't think I've looked at her face once.

She clears her throat. "You might want to look at my face Arizona." Her smooth voice sends shivers down my spine. I lift my chin to look into eyes that are still as stormy as this morning but her smoky makeup and red lipstick accentuates them even more.

"Hi baby." She leans over and kisses me hard and quick then swipes my beer in front of me.

"Now that's an entrance." Mark cuts through my daze. Lexie smacks him in the back of the head. I laugh and Callie looks away from me to talk to Teddy.


Callie's POV

It wasn't my idea to come to Joe's but I figured I could use it to my advantage. I'm at our apartment getting ready for a night out with Arizona and a couple of our coworkers. It's not very often when more than a few of us can get together to just enjoy each other's company. I'm pulling out the big guns on my girl tonight. I put on Arizona's favorite outfit on me that will guarantee me a night to remember.

I enter the bar and everyone stares. This is the reason why I took so long to get ready. Arizona always tells me I don't need to put that much effort when we go out but I still appreciate the looks especially from her. I walk towards her with an extra sway in my hips. Her eyes haven't even met my face and I giggle at that. She is almost as worse as a horny teenage boy.

I stop in front of her, "You might want to look at my face Arizona." I witness the shudder that racks her body slightly. She finally looks me in the eyes.

"Hi baby." I lay a hard kiss on pink lips and take her beer then go sit down next to Teddy. Mark starts talking and I smirk then look away.

"What is all this about?" Teddy asks.

"I was just putting on a show for Arizona and I love when I can turn her into mush from practically doing nothing." I inform my best friend.

"So Arizona thinks she's in hot water?"

"Oh yeah, she is." I drawl.

"Why?" She chuckles.

"Mark walked in on me and Arizona this morning. He used his key which she was supposed to taken from him a month ago." The reason for the seduction is seeping through me again.

"Ahhh. But it has gotten better, right?"

"Yes, I'm teaching her a lesson on listening." I wink. Teddy throws her head back in laughter. "Want a beer? I'll take this round."

"I'm never say no to that."

I head towards the bar and sit on the stool waiting on the bartender. I feel a presence next to me and the cologne I smell makes me believe that it's Mark. I turn to face him.

"Hi Mark." I order my drinks and wait patiently.

"Hey. Glad you finally showed."

"Oh. Work caught me up." I try to brush him off. My leg bounces as I wait for my beers.

"So…" His eyes drift towards Arizona and the look he has almost looks like longing. I try to shrug it off but she's with me.

"So what?" I ask.

"Arizona looks hot tonight."

"She looks beautiful as always." I wistfully look at my girl who is laughing at something Derek has said.

"Those jeans sure do it for her."

"Bye Mark." I hate having to hear him talk about Arizona. We've gotten on the same page about things but it doesn't mean I magically like him. He's a pig but he's her best friend so I keep my mouth shut.

"Oh come on Cal. You know it. They look better bare." He's pushing me and I know it.

"Stop it."

"Have you forgotten that I know how it feels to be inside of her?" He chides. His body has shifted so he's closer. I feel Arizona staring at me and Mark. It's always been a weird thing with the both of us that we can feel when our eyes are on each other. I don't want to cause trouble but he's on my last nerve.

"Don't you dare talk about her like that."

"Oh wait, you don't really know how that feels, do you?" My teeth clench and jaw set. My hands are in fists that my nails bite into my palms.

"Shut the fuck up Mark. I'm warning you."

"Sure you have your fingers and tongue but I've done both. I know how it feels to have her walls clench and pull in deeper. I know how her jaw slack to the left after she's released. I know how she likes to be a top. I know that behind her right ear is the most sensitive. Isn't that right Callie?" He sneers. At this point all I see is red. My back goes rigid at the details. Mark doesn't get to know all those things and be alive. I'm shaking from the rage I feel bubbling and he has no idea what he's starting.

"Walk away right now." My voice is cold but he just gives me a sly smile.

"You aren't anything Cal. You know it's a matter of time before I can feel her around me again." He gives off a hearty laugh that sends me over the edge. He has a girlfriend and he is using mine as a weapon against me. I stand up to make it look like I'm walking away but I wrench my arm back and follow through in my movements to attach my left hand to his jaw. A crack is felt through my knuckle as his body glides into a table. I walk over his body while he tries to shield his face from me.

I yank at his shirt, "If I EVER hear you say something like that again I won't hesitate to break your mini Sloan and every other part of your body. You know as well as I do that I can make it so difficult that I won't even be able to fix them." Throwing one more punch to his right eye, I toss his body back on the ground and walk towards my girlfriend. Her face is in between shock and fear, I tell her I'm staying at Teddy's, grab my coat and leave.


Arizona's POV

I'm sitting at our table watching the conversation between my girl and my best friend at the bar. They look like they're having a good time. Anybody looking at them would think that but looking at Callie's posture it's stiff and Mark looks like he's on the attack. My gut wrenches at the feeling that this is about to get ugly. Mark leans forward to say something in Callie's ear then steps back, I can't read his lips but the smile that was gracing her face immediately drops. I'm eyeing all her movements and before I know it Callie's fist flies through the air and connects with Mark's jaw. His body is thrown into the table behind him sending drinks and glasses shattering on the floor.

"Ow! Fuck!" Mark yelps.

Calliope walks over to his body so both her feet are on both sides of his torso grabs at his shirt and winds her arm back. She gets into his face so their only an inch apart.

"If I EVER hear you say something like that again I won't hesitate to break your mini Sloan and every other part of your body. You know as well as I do that I can make it so difficult that I won't even be able to fix them." She punches him straight in the eye throws his body into the ground with a thud then walks towards me.

"I'm going to go cool off. I think I'll stay at Teddy's tonight. I'm sorry. But I know you and you're going to stay here and help him clean up or whatever. I'll see you tomorrow." Without waiting for me to say anything she grabs her jacket and storms out of the bar. Not one person around has moved. Everyone knows Calliope and she would never physically hurt anyone without a valid reason. What the hell did you say, Mark?

As of late, she's right. I walk over to Mark who is still on back with both his hands trying to cover his face. I pull at his arm to see his eyes has swelled significantly and bleeding from the mouth. Still no one is moving. I turn to Derek, "Can you help me? He needs to go to the hospital." Lexie rushes over to him and being hysterical.

We cross over to the hospital without him saying anything but he refuses to make eye contact with me. I feel a feeling it might have something to do with me. Owen and I get Mark into an exam room, apparently Callie hit him so hard to dislocate his jaw. They have to put him under that type of dislocation but its done fast. Mark is admitted into the hospital for the night. Derek left after his examination and I stuck around to find out what happened.

Lexie leaves the room to get something to eat to sober up some more. I walk into Mark's room and sit down at the side of his bed.

Owen is the one that breaks the silence, "Mark, what happened?"

"Uhm… I can't."

"Seriously, Mark, what the hell happened?! Why in the world would Calliope punch you? I know her, she would never hurt anyone intentionally." I jump down his throat.

"I might have pushed too far." He won't look at me so I know that's the truth. He's a terrible liar but I need to know what he said to her.

"Well Mark, you'll be good to leave in the morning but you won't be able to operate because of your jaw and eye for a week or two. So take it easy. I'm gonna go." Owen tries to step out of the room but I stop him.

"No Owen, please stay. You might need to keep me from killing him."

"Ariz-"

"Owen, please." He senses the desperation and nods.

"What did you say to her?!" I can't help but feel angry even at my own best friend.

"I was joking around with her about you. Then I might have said some intimate details and she told me to walk away but I didn't then."

"What intimate details?" My nose flare at trying to control my emotions.

He gives me a sheepish look. "I said I knew how your jaw slack and how you like to be a top and how behind your right ear is the most sensitive and how I actually know how it feels for your walls to clench."

I'm shocked to say the least. I always knew he could be crude but this is just spiteful at my girlfriend. He's pushed it too far and he ended up in the hospital. But I have a feeling there is more.

"What else?" I'm on the defense.

He takes in a deep breath then rushes out words I couldn't even believe he even had the nerve to say, "Itoldhershewasn'tanythingandthatitwouldbeama tteroftimebeforeIfeelyouarou ndmeagain." He's winded after his admission and his shoulders slump.

"YOU TOLD HER WHAT?!" I scream. I lunge at him but Owen catches me before I reach Mark. He flinches at the movement. All I want to do is choke him.

"I was kidding. I didn't know she was going to get that mad. Of course we wouldn't sleep together again. I'm sorry. I didn-" This is unforgivable. He doesn't get to talk to the love of my life like that and play it off like it's nothing.

"Stop." I put my hand up when he tries to speak again. "You told her she was nothing! But little do you know, you are! You're my best friend Mark, that's it! You know her biggest insecurity and you shoved it down her throat. Are you fucking serious? I came and talked to you about her and you told me you would stop all this. I can't have you in my life, treating her like that. She's done nothing but handle you. You deserved what you got. Don't speak to me or Callie for that matter. We're done. I can't believe you. I thought you cared about me but clearly you don't. I can't even look at you."

"Come on! I've always been there then she comes into the picture and everything changes! We can only hang out a few days a week. I lost my key this morning. We don't get to talk about everything anymore. So it's either her or me Arizona!" I freeze at the ultimatum.

"Really?"

"Yes, choose." His jaw is set.

"If you're really making me choose Mark then I'm choosing Calliope. She never made me choose between the two of you. She understood that we have a different relationship than most and just asked for a few rules. But I will always choose her. Bye, Mark." I thought I would feel regret at my words but I don't. I step away from Owen and Mark's bed.

"Wait! Arizona! Please! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" I turn around to see Lexie rooted at the door way. She must have heard what Mark said. She storms away and I follow her out. I race out of the hospital to go to Teddy's. She lets me into the apartment. Her face tells me she knows what happened at the bar and I don't blame the look of disgust and anger I see but I also can place a twinge of hurt for her best friend.

I head towards the guest bedroom and hear my Calliope sobbing. "Don't Arizona." She places her hand on my shoulder and squeezes. Tears are burning at the corner of my eyes.

"Please Teddy I need to fix this." I beg. She shakes her head no but leads me to her bedroom and closes the door behind her. I plop down onto her bed and bury my head in my hands. "How could he say all those things to her? She knows that Mark and I would never have sex ever again. She's it for me Teds!"

We sit in silence.

"I've never seen her, this angry. Not ever and she's the most hot headed person I know." I chuckle at that because it's true. "She looked so hurt after she told me what he said and…" But she stops.

"What?" I plead with my eyes.

"I know her, she wanted you to chase her. Not to be selfish but she needed some reassurance that you would pick her and that he was wrong." My eyes widen.

"I wasn't picking him. I just wanted to know what happened!"

"Right now, she won't understand that but she knows, okay? Deep down she knows." I nod.

"Look, you can sleep in here and wait it out with me. I called both of you in for tomorrow. I checked out her hand and it's not broken and it's left hand anyways but she can't operate for a couple of days."

"Okay. I love her Teddy. I cut Mark off tonight. She's the love of my life, he doesn't get to say those things." I lay down and exhaustion and alcohol drag me to a terrible night's sleep just wishing Calliope would know that I finally chose.


AN: Is this the end of Arizona's friendship with Mark? Or was it all talk?
