I do not own Grey's Anatomy.
Arizona smiled brightly as she set her phone down on her nightstand, she was actually getting to go on a date with Calliope and she was so excited!
After she settled into bed, she fell asleep quickly as her long night caught up to her, but she was already so excited for next week to come because she was dying to go on a real date with Calliope.
For some reason, Arizona felt a need to see Calliope again before their date on Thursday night. They both had Thursday night off, so they decided to go out to dinner at a nice restaurant, Callie was choosing since she had been the one to ask Arizona out on a date.
Arizona had just come off of another night shift and she knew that Callie was going to be finishing up her shift soon, so she decided to go surprise her and invite her to breakfast. They had been texting each other back and forth for the past few days and were slowly getting to know each other.
Arizona walked through the hospital, trying to find Callie and she eventually found her on the Ortho Floor, go figure. She had to laugh at poor Callie, who looked so sluggish and out of it while she leaned on the nurse's station and tried to focus on the chart that was in front of her.
"Hey Cal, tequila and dancing after our shift?"
Tequila and dancing? At 8 in the morning? And who is this woman asking my girlfriend to go out clubbing with her? Wait, hold on Arizona, she's not your girlfriend! Yet.
Arizona thought to herself as she watched Callie look up at the pretty, Asian woman and say yes with a huge smile on her face.
Callie continued to stand lean against the nurse's station while the small Asian woman sat down at one of the computers. Arizona decided that this was her moment to go and surprise Callie.
"Hey, Calliope." She said brightly as she walked up behind her.
"Calliope? She lets you call her that?" The Asian woman asked.
"Yeah? Why wouldn't she?" Arizona asked, confusedly.
The Asian woman looked up at Callie's face and noticed that she was giving her a death stare.
"No reason. I was just wondering."
"Arizona, this is Cristina, my roommate. Cristina, this is Arizona."
"So, she's the one that you've been talking about for the past few days? You must be really special since you're all she's been talking about at home." Cristina said, completely oblivious to Callie's death stare and Arizona's huge grin.
"Alright, Cristina, can I get a rain check? Arizona and I are going out to breakfast together." Callie answered, having completely read Arizona's mind.
After Cristina said that was fine, Callie and Arizona headed off in the direction of an on call room, so they could talk for a minute, before Callie had to get back to work.
"Hey, how was your shift?" Callie asked Arizona sweetly as she leaned in to hug the blonde.
She had really missed Arizona since they hadn't managed to see each other in a few days. She didn't know why she felt so connected to the blonde that was in her arms, but she just did.
"It was good, how is yours so far?"
"Busy, it's been emergency after emergency. I only have an hour left and I am so exhausted."
"Well, after I take you out to breakfast, you can go right to bed."
"Sounds like a plan." Callie added as she looked down at her pager that had just gone off.
"Shit, I have to go. Stay here and I'll get you when I'm done." She told Arizona as she ran out of the room.
An hour and a half later, Callie had finished her shift and had changed into her street clothes and she was ready to go to breakfast with Arizona and then get to bed.
As she walked into the On Call room where she left Arizona, she noticed that the apparently exhausted blonde was now asleep on the bed.
Callie looked at her and didn't have the heart to wake her up, so she took off her jacket and climbed into the bed next to the blonde.
Arizona woke up a few hours later and was momentarily shocked when she tried to move and felt a strong arm tighten around her waist. She immediately relaxed when she rolled over and saw that it was Calliope, she loved the way that Callie held her, even though they were asleep. So, she snuggled into Callie as much as she could and rested her head under Callie's chin and fell back asleep.
A few hours after that, Callie was the one that woke up and was surprised to find the curly haired blonde curled up against her, it made Callie's heart swell and caused a huge smile to appear on her face until she realized that she barely knew this girl.
What are you thinking, Callie? You haven't even gone out on a date with her, you barely know her. Jumping into things has not worked out for you, remember George? Take it slow with her; it will work out better in the long run. Ahh, but look at her, she's so gorgeous and peaceful. I just want to kiss her and be with her….NO, Callie! Stop talking…or thinking about this! Just wake her up and ask to go out to lunch or something.
Arizona could practically hear Callie's thoughts screaming at her, and it caused her to open her eyes and look up at Callie who had been watching her sleep.
"Hi, sleep well?" Arizona asked.
"Amazingly well, you?"
"Same."
"Good. So, I'm starving, do you want to go out for lunch or something?"
"Sure!" Arizona asked as she looked at her phone and discovered that it was 2 in the afternoon.
"Wow, I didn't know that we slept for that long. We can order a pizza at my place and watch a movie or something?"
"That sounds perfect." Arizona said with a huge dimpled smile.
They got back to Callie's apartment just as Cristina was leaving to meet up with Owen, so they had the apartment all to themselves.
"Do you want to pick a movie while I order? What kind of pizza do you want?"
"Cheese with Pineapple, please. Sure, I'll pick!"
5 minutes later, Callie walked back into the room with the phone in her hands and smirked as she saw the normally bubbly blonde shaking her head while she looked at the movie choices.
"Having a problem choosing a movie?" Callie asked her, with the smile evident in her voice.
"Yeah, all you have are documentaries on surgeries and stuff, why do you want to watch that when you deal with it all day?"
"Those are Cristina's movies, and she watches them all the time, she must have moved my movies so she could add more documentary's to her collection. Ah, here are mine." Callie said as she leaned down and opened the drawer to their coffee table.
"Oh good. What mood are you in?"
"Uhh, something funny, I think. You?"
"Same. Ooh, how about Get Smart? I love Steve Carell, he is so funny!"
"Me too! I love him in this movie!" Callie added as she put the movie in and started it.
20 minutes in the pizza was delivered and after they both ate, Arizona took her time shifting closer to Callie, who knew what she was doing the whole time, until they were shoulder to shoulder and Callie ended up wrapping her arm around Arizona's shoulder.
As they were leaning in to kiss each other, someone rushed into their apartment and stormed over to stand in front of them.
"Mark! What are you doing here? We are kind of busy." Callie said angrily as she continued to sit there with her arm around Arizona.
"What do I do about little Grey? Derek told me no, but I can't help it!'"
"Fine, we will have this conversation for about 1 minute, and then you are getting the hell out of my apartment, got it?" She asked him as Arizona laid her hand on Callie's thigh, trying to calm her down a little.
"Done."
"Alright, good. I think that if you really like her, then go for it. Sure, she's a little young, hence the 'little Grey' part, but she's sweet, caring, smart and very pretty and if she likes you, then what is there to lose? But, I am warning you right now, Mark, if you hurt her, I will personally tell Derek Shepherd and he will be standing by with a video camera while I break your bones. Remember, that is what I do for a living and I am very good at it. Don't hide your relationship either, alright? Tell Derek now and let him process it, and you take her out on nice dates and treat her really well. If this is just a manwhore thing that you want to accomplish or whatever, end it now. But, if you are absolutely serious, then you have my support."
"You are amazing, Calliope Torres! Ah, I love you!" Mark exclaimed as he bent down to kiss Callie's forehead.
"I know! And don't call me Calliope! Now, get out of here and go talk to Lexie."
"You got it! See ya Cal, Blondie!" He added as he ran out the door.
"Wow, look at you, expert advice giver. I like it. Why don't you want him to call you Calliope?"
"Because I hate when people call me that, only my dad calls me that and that's only because I can't get him to stop." Callie explained as she watched Arizona's face fall and then she realized why.
"I like it when you call me that, though. Believe me, if I didn't then you would have known it by now." She said, trying to get Arizona to believe her.
Arizona looked into Callie's gorgeous brown eyes and immediately knew that she was telling the truth.
"Now, where were we, Calliope?" She whispered in Callie's ear as she got up to move herself onto Callie's lap.
She flashed a bright smile at Callie when she noticed Callie's face looking ahead, shocked and aroused with the sensuality in Arizona's voice.
Arizona leaned forward until her lips connected with Callie's, the kiss started out slow and as Arizona dragged her tongue across Callie's bottom lip it became more passionate as Callie opened her mouth, which was exactly what Arizona wanted.
"Oh, gross. You know, you have your own bedroom, right Cal? I don't need to walk in on you two making out like teenagers." Cristina exclaimed as she walked into the apartment and continued right on in to her bedroom, wanting to leave the 'teenagers' alone.
Callie and Arizona looked at each other and started cracking up until Callie decided to see what time it was.
"Oh, wow. I can't believe its already 5:30, I really need to start getting ready for work, I still have to have a shower and everything. I know I told you that my schedule would be better by this week, but it is obviously not better yet."
"Oh, yeah. I need to get ready for work too. It's fine, my schedule is all screwed up too, and hopefully it gets straightened out soon."
Callie walked Arizona to her car, gave her a short kiss on the lips and said goodbye. They agreed to have breakfast again the next day, and not fall asleep like they had earlier.
At 7pm, both women were at their respected workplaces, just starting another 12 hour shift, hopefully the last night shift for the both of them for a while. While they both didn't normally mind being on the night shift, they were getting tired of sleeping during the day, when everyone else was awake.
Arizona and Teddy were sitting in the parking lot of a Taco Bell around midnight, for their 'lunch' and Arizona used that time to check her phone.
"Oh my gosh, Teddy! Teddy, look! Teddy!" Arizona frantically screamed to her partner, forcing her to look at her phone.
"Geez, Arizona! What?" Teddy asked, not wanting to read the small print on the blonde's phone.
"Facebook just emailed me and said that Callie Torres is requesting to be in a relationship with me!" Arizona squealed, startling Teddy, who almost started choking on her food.
"Seriously? Zona, that's great! I'm so happy for you!"
"And I just accepted it! We are now Facebook official! Wooohooo! I can't believe it! We haven't even gone on a legit date yet, but I don't care. She's amazing and she makes me feel amazing!"
Well I guess you didn't really need to think about it for a long time.
-Cal :)
Arizona smiled as soon as she got that text message, about 2 minutes after she accepted the relationship change.
Well, lucky for you, I didn't need to think about it at all.
-A ;)
Yeah, it is lucky for me. Now get back to work, cuz I know my gf is no slacker! ;)
