Chapter 4.
The loud beeping of her alarm clock scared the hell out of Callie, and she swooped her arm over and knocked it off of her nightstand wanting to shut it up. She groaned and pulled a pillow over her head to block the sunlight out. She was so not ready to get up yet. She heard buzzing in the next few minutes. "Damn it." she groaned to herself and grabbed her phone. It was a text from Mark. How'd it go Torres Callie rolled her eyes and texted him back. 'How did what go?' She quickly got another text. 'The date' Callie sighed and got up from her bed. Obviously she wasn't going to be allowed to go back to sleep.
'It was fine' she texted him back before going into the bathroom to get into the shower. She was only half undressed and she got another text. 'Just fine? No hot lady lovins?' Callie laughed at the text and decided that she would just ignore it. She set the phone down and crawled into the shower half asleep. Twenty minutes later the Ortho surgeon was showered and dressed. She made her way into the hallway and knocked on Mark's door. They lived across from each other so the man knew everything there was to know about Callie's life. Except for the stuff she didn't want him to know, but he was her best friend so they shared plenty of secrets.
"You want breakfast?" she asked when he stepped into the hall way.
"I'm late for work Torres. Gonna have to grab something there."
Callie rolled her eyes. "If you weren't texting me about my personal life you would have been ready in time."
Mark smirked and tapped her on the shoulder. "But that is boring Torres. I like hearing about your hot girl on girl sex. Even if it makes me late."
Callie punched him on the arm. "You're such a perv Mark Sloan." she said before shutting the door to her and Cristina's apartment and heading to the hospital. "See ya at work." she shouted behind her, not even caring what Mark was going to say next.

Across town Arizona Robbins had already been up an hour before she was suppose to be. She bounced around her apartment and sung along to the ipod that was blaring some pop/dance music. Arizona was always a morning person. The sun was shining. It was a new day. Why not be happy about it? A lot of people hated mornings, but not Arizona. She was one of those who were up way before everyone else and she always arrived to work or wherever she was going way earlier than everyone else.
Today though, today Arizona didn't have to be in to work until Noon. She bounced around her apartment with a dust buster, singing along to the music and dusting whatever needed to be dusted. She grabbed the broom next and swayed her hips to the music while she swept, making sure the floors were spic and span. She smiled to herself as she finished up the dishes and plopped on the couch. She propped her hands behind her head and turned the music off with the remote to her ipod doc.
She fidgeted with her hands and looked at the clock. She still had two hours until she had to be at work. What would she do with her time? After a few more minutes she decided she'd head into work early. She didn't have any thing else to do, and it'd be nice to run into Callie. Maybe they could talk. Arizona still wasn't sure about Callie, but she liked her. She was a beautiful woman, and so sweet. Plus it was hot the way she broke bones for a living.
When the pediatric surgeon got to work, she skated through the hall way in her heelies, quickly skidding into the locker room where she found this Torres. She was changing into her scrubs. Arizona held her tongue and stayed quiet, just watching Callie for a moment. She took in a breath when Callie quickly turned around, and she looked at the floor pretending she didn't see anything.
"How long you been standing there?" Callie joked.
"Uh. Long enough." Arizona answered, pink covering her cheeks.
She quickly began to change into her scrubs, avoiding eye contact with Callie. Their date was awkward enough last night. They didn't need to be awkward at work too.
"Um. Can I ask you something?" Callie piped up.
Arizona continued to change, pulling her scrubs on over her long sleeved pink shirt that she was already wearing.
"That kiss. Am I the only one who's still thinking about it today?" Callie blushed.
Arizona shivered at the thought of the Latrina's lips on her own. "No. No you're not the only one. I can't stop thinking about it either."
Once they were both changed into their scrubs they turned to face each other. Callie shoved her hands into the pockets of her coat and shyly glanced at Arizona.
"I know you think I'm a newborn or whatever, and that I don't know what I want. You're not wrong about the newborn thing, but I do know what I want."
Arizona raised an eyebrow. "Yeah what's that?"
Callie blushed again and looked away. It took her a minute to come up with what she was going to say without embarrassing herself.
"Well." Callie started. She looked into Arizona's piercing blue eyes and almost couldn't regain her composure. They were so fucking blue. "I want to go on another date with you." she finished.
Arizona smiled and showed those amazing dimples that Callie couldn't get enough of. "Is that right?"
Callie nodded and swallowed before stepping closer to Arizona, and pushing her gently against the lockers. "I know what I enjoyed last night. I enjoyed being with you. Just being around you gives me butterflies." Callie was so surprised by her sudden boost of confidence. "I like you Arizona Robbins. I know you like me too."
Arizona opened her mouth to speak, but Callie quickly stopped her by putting her index finger on Arizona's swollen lips.
"You can't just pretend you don't like me because I'm new at the girl on girl thing. Just because I liked men before doesn't mean I like them now. I think the only thing you should be worried about is what I'm fixing to do right here in this moment."
Arizona widened her eyes when Callie all of the sudden placed her lips on hers all the sudden. She smiled, her dimples once again coming out. She pulled Callie closer to her and placed her own kiss on Callie's lips. Callie grabbed Arizona's hands and pinned them above her head against the lockers and searched Arizona's eyes intently, before kissing her once more. This time Callie deepened the kiss and her and Arizona's tongues fought for dominance. Callie broke the kiss, and left Arizona standing there baffled at what had just happened.
"Think about that Dr. Robbins." the brunette said, turning around and walking out of the locker room to go to work. As if she could work being as aroused as she was from the heated kiss. Geez just looking Arizona made her aroused. What was she going to do if they actually had sex?

It took Arizona a minute to realize what had just happened. She'd been suckered in that's what happened. Calliope Torres had sucked her in and made her like her. She blew out a defeated breath and regained her composure enough to make her way out of the locker room. She gasped as she felt her body collide with someone else's.
"Cristina. God, I'm sorry." Arizona apologized with a smile on her face.
Cristina quickly got up from the floor and glared at Arizona. "Watch it Robbins." She then grinned and thought of something smart ass to say.
"I saw you and Torres making out in the locker room ya know. You weren't alone."
Arizona gasped and her cheeks turned pink. "Crap." she exhaled.
Cristina raised her eyebrow once more. "I'd appreciate it if you watched where you were going next time Robbins."
Arizona was relieved that Cristina had dropped it. "You haven't told anyone else have you?" she questioned.
Cristina glared at her, brown eyes piercing into blue. "Um no, but if you want to keep it a secret I suggest you find a better place than the locker room everyone changes in, to make out."
Arizona laughed at that and thanked Cristina who walked away shaking her head.
The blonde quickly made her way to check on her patients. One of them Kailey Harper flayed in her bed gasping for her. Arizona quickly made her way over to the little girl, and tried to clam her down. "Kailey. It's Dr. Robbins. Breathe baby girl. What's wrong?" she tried to console the girl, but she just kept squirming around trying to breathe. "How long has she been like this?" Arizona yelled to the intern who looked scared as hell.
"I don't know like a minute. What to we do?" the intern looked like he was going to cry at any minute.
Arizona frowned. "Do I have to do everything myself?" She quickly grabbed what she needed. She jabbed a needle into the girl's chest, and sighed in relief when she heard her lungs gush air. "Her lung collapsed. We need an OR now!" Arizona commanded the intern.
The intern, whatever his name was shuffled off quickly and Arizona shook her head and rubbed the little girl's arm in a consoling way. "It's gonna be okay Kailey. We're gonna fix you."

Callie sighed as her pager went off in her pocket. She looked down at it and it said 911. 'Shit." she cursed as she quickly ran in the direction that she needed to go. The whole time she ran she wondered what kind of bones she'd be fixing to day. She also thought if someone paged her 911 for a stitch she was going to choke whoever paged her. Damn interns didn't know what they were doing.
As soon as she arrived she gasped when she saw the patient. His arm was completely broken. His radius and femur were sticking out of the arm, ripping flesh. "God it hurts. Please. Help me!" he pleaded with Callie.
"Sir. Calm down. I'm Dr. Torres. I'm here to help you."
She glared at the intern who stumbled around the room trying to figure out what she should to do help.
"Have they given you anything for pain sir? What's your name?" Callie asked to distract him.
"Yeah. They gave me something when I first got here. It's wearing off." He groaned in pain once more. "I'm Heath."
Callie nodded and turned toward the intern and rambled a main medicine for her to get. The intern quickly did what she was told and disappeared out of the room.
"What happened?" Callie asked, once again trying to distract the patient.
"Wrestling match gone bad." Heath spoke. He looked to be around the age of twenty.
"Wrestling match huh? It looks like someone did a hell of a job on you." She looked at him, noticing all the bruises and lacerations that had been sewn up prior to her arriving there.
She didn't argue with the patient. When the intern got back she grabbed the medicine, and shot it into the IV. "Okay. This should make it a lot better." she spoke in a calm voice. "Prep him for surgery. Can you do that at least?" Callie spoke in an angered tone. These interns didn't know anything, and it pissed her had to remember herself being an intern and that was the only thing that made her patient with them. Most of the time she wanted to choke them though. The intern nodded her head frantically and Callie groaned. "See you in an hour." she said to the patient before walking away once more.

Walking way from the patient's room Callie realized she hadn't had any coffee yet. She needed caffeine and she needed it bad. A yawn escaped from her mouth as she neared the elevator. She pushed the down arrow and waited for it to stop and when it did she got on, not even paying attention to who was in it.
"Dr. Torres. We meet again." A familiar voice spoke.
Callie looked up and smirked. "Hey Arizona." she quietly said.
"I've been needing to do something all morning." Arizona spoke up and grabbed Callie's waist and pulled her close to her. She pulled her into a passionate kiss and then pulled away a smile lingering on her face.
Callie was stunned once more. The blonde really knew how to push her buttons. "I.. uh." she stuttered and the elevator stopped suddenly, Arizona mumbled something incoherently and stepped off to continue her work day.
Callie just stood there shocked as she elevator doors closed once again. She'd forgotten what she was even doing. Oh right. Coffee. She needed Coffee.
