Hello folks! Omg, its about exactly 24 hrs away from the season premiere! I really wanted to get this chapter in 'cause I might, no I will, be MIA during and after the premiere. So I pushed to get this done. I hope its good enough for now!
Bold Italics = Az
Italics = Callie
This week has gone by so good for Arizona. She and Callie had been getting along great. With the exchange in letters and little gifts here and there, they have seemed to have built a friendship and a maybe even more than that, with the help of their good friend Mark of course. The most important part of this week was, Callie was getting discharged tomorrow, which happened to be Friday. So naturally Arizona was psyched.
During their exchanges, Callie and Arizona had not seen nor talked to each other in person. Not like they wanted it to be that way, it was just very hectic on Arizona's part. Deep inside her though she had avoided Callie, because she didn't know if she would even be able to form words in front of the woman she was already falling for, very hard. She also knew that it was wrong because of Jessica still being a part of the Latina's life. So she would leave a letter and Callie would wake up the next morning to read it. Then at night before bed, Callie would leave one for Arizona. She had always said that Arizona could wake her but the blonde never had the heart to.
It was 12:13am and Arizona's shift had ended so she was on her way home, making a quick trip to Callie's room. As she stepped in, she took a glance at Callie's sleeping form. She stepped closer and inched her face towards Callie's face and inhaled her scent. It was intoxicating.
Before she lost total control, Arizona had quickly snapped out of it and had left her note and took Callie's in exchange. Before leaving towards the door she whispered out, "Goodnight Calliope. I hope you're dreaming about something good, 'cause I know I'll be dreaming of you tonight." After a few seconds she took her gaze off Callie and walked away.
Little did she know, every night Callie would pretend to be asleep, observing Arizona. Feeling her presence. Smelling her scent. That mind blowing aroma she has. She had this perfume that drove Callie crazy. It made her scream 'sexy' in her head and down below. She was so tempted to open her eyes and take her right there and then. But something was tugging at her and it wasn't a good feeling. She knew she'd have to deal with her girlfriend sooner or later but right now she was happy. She felt like she wasn't cheating or doing anything wrong, all she felt was happiness, one thing she shouldn't be feeling elsewhere but from Jessica.
As Arizona stepped out, Callie immediately opened her eyes to see her walk away, And with a smile Callie opens the little pink envelope and reads her letter from Arizona.
Sweet, sweet Calliope,
I know, its cheesy right? I blame all the mushy people going around in hype of Valentine's Day. It's like a month away but everyone just seems lovey-dovey because it's February. Again I apologize for not being able to see you awake. Things have been really toxic for me. So many tiny humans to save. But at least you get to go home tomorrow! And sooner than you know it, you'll be back in the OR fixing bones and making people walk again. I would love to take you home, well I mean accompany you home but I know you'd have people left and right to help you. I would just be in the way. I will try to stop by though, maybe we can have breakfast. I'll get you your favorite bagel and grape jam with a coffee you love, oh so much on the side from that place. I hope you got some sleep, assuming you're reading this in the morning!
So to end my supposedly short letter, I have to say this now or else I'd never get it out of my head.
What pickup lines work for you? Because you know, you might be asked to leave soon. You're making the other women here look really bad.Okay, that one was the best I could think of. Spare me here. Alright well, to save myself from anymore embarrassment, I will say my goodnight and hope to see you tomorrow. Sleep well Calliope.
Az
P.S.
Mark says he'll drop by tomorrow as well. He said he has "the package" whatever that is. You two have weird friendship.
Callie had read the letter three times and giggled about how cute Arizona was. The pickup line had made Callie all flustered and bubbly. She knew it was game on.
Callie - 0, Arizona - 1
Yes, Callie had been falling for Arizona. It was only a few days and a few letters but the connection she felt for the woman was outstanding. It was if Arizona just knew her so well, as if she could see right through her soul. Pick out the exact thing that made her happy, confident and free. Something she lost a while ago. But she was very good at hiding those feelings. She didn't want to give in to Arizona just yet. Not until she was free to do so.
Arizona was starting get back what she lost long ago as well. It was safe to say Arizona was captured. And she did not want to be set free anytime soon.
Callie was thinking of writing back but she would be discharged before lunch, and Arizona would drop by so it seemed pointless at this moment. Besides she had a little gift she wanted to give her and Mark, her new close friend and right hand man would deliver. They had seemed to have bonded very well; it was like a friendship meant to be.
It was around 1am now and Callie was starting to get sleepy again, so she set her thoughts aside and fell into slumber thinking about tomorrow and her blue eyed angel. Hers.
Arizona on the other hand was far from sleepy. She was starting to get nervous and fidgety again. She read Callie's letter more than enough times to try and calm herself down.
Dr. Robbins,
I'm starting to think you're purposely avoiding me. I was awake when you passed by my floor earlier and I was sad that you didn't even bother to say hi. But I know you're busy. I'll let it slide I guess. So tomorrow's the day! I can finally get outta here! I am dying for real food! Hospital chicken and jello is just not cutting it. And I am craving for that bagel down from that shop that Mark gave me the other day! Come by tomorrow morning? I know it's your day off; I'd love it if we could actually talk before I get sent home. I mean you can visit me at my apartment but I don't want you to have to travel too far. Where do you live anyway? I never got to ask. Well, I expect you tomorrow so we can talk more about that. Hope you sleep well Phoenix ;)
Cal
Arizona was never the nervous one, but when it came to Callie, she was a nervous wreck. She made her way around her whole apartment picking up things and putting them down. Cleaning here and there. She finally gave up when she noticed everything shining from being cleaned so much and walked out to bang on Mark's door.
"Maaaaaaaaaaaaark!" She yells in annoyance. "Opeeeeeeeeeen."
A few seconds later Mark opens the door, half asleep.
"Jesus Az, what's wrong? Are you okay? Why are you fidgeting like that? You look like you need to pee." He states seeing Arizona wiggling around.
"I can't sleep. And Callie tomorrow and you know it's her, wants me to come over, the room and bagels, what if I can't or maybe, yeah words right but how do I, oh god this is stupid. Okay night Mark." She rambles and then walked back into her apartment leaving a dumbfounded Mark at his door frame.
"I... This woman.." Mark mumbles as he locks his door and plops back onto his bed.
After another half an hour, Arizona finally gathered herself with the help of a glass or 10 of wine and managed to take a nap, alarm set for 6am.
"Yes, I know... Uh huh. No, I'm perfectly capable. I know I should. Look can we discuss this some other time? I'm fine and I really don't need Papi and Mami on my case right now. Voy a llamar cuando las cosas son menos locas. ¡Gracias hermana. Yo también te quiero."
Callie had been on the phone when Mark had walked into her room. She had waved him in when she saw him standing outside.
"Well I gotta say T, that was sexy talk there." Mark says as he approaches Callie and gives her a hug. "How ya feelin' today?"
"Ugh, I hate when you call me T, it sounds like a name for a wrestler or something." Callie replies.
"Hey, wrestlers are cool, and badass. T is a badass nickname! Better than Ipheg-" Mark was cut off by a pillow to his face before he could finish.
"Say it and Arizona will have to dig you up from six feet under." She glared at him.
Mark could not help and laugh hysterically at Callie's threat. A scenario that was very possible and that had already happened to him. He laughed even more at the thought of it happening again.
"Wow, okay. I just threatened to kill you and bury you and you laugh like a crazy man."
"I'm sorry Cal; it was just really funny hearing it from you. I'm scared of you, so no worries, you won't be burying me anytime soon. Besides, I've been around awhile, and look, I'm still here! They say I'm hard to get rid of." He says as he tries to calm himself.
They continue to make small talk and argue with each other like siblings. Their topic soon reaches why or why not the Women's Tennis Association should regulate grunting.
"Loud female grunts distract opponents and annoy fans Mark. They are planning to come out with a device with which refs can measure on-court grunting levels."
"Grunting is a way for them to release their power and energy. Who cares about the fans, they just sit there and watch. How does distracting them make any sense or connection to the tennis players? It's inhumane to punish them because they feel it's a natural way of releasing tension. Plus I think it hot."
"You think everything is hot as long as it involves women and making noises."
"True, can't argue with that." Mark says as he gets up to go use the potty.
"Ha, that means I win this battle. Better luck next time Marky." Callie proudly says.
"Yeah, yeah. I let you win. Remember that Torres." He smirks as he closes the door to the bathroom.
As Mark opens the door to the bathroom, he sees Arizona enter the room. Callie with a huge smile plastered on her face and tries to talk but can't seem to say much but Hi.
"Hey.." Arizona manages to say.
"Hi.." Callie replies.
"You look good..."
"You look stunning.." Callie says and notices Arizona nervous and what almost seemed to be a blush.
"Oh uh, I brought you bagels! And... And coffee! I hope you like black with sugar. Because I forgot to ask and I didn't wanna put cream in 'cause you might not like it. So I got little creamer thingies in the small cups anyway just in case." Arizona rambles as she places the food on the tray and pushes towards Callie.
"Black with sugar is perfect. You know me more than my damn interns when I ask for coffee. Thank you Arizona." Callie giggles at Arizona's rambling.
"You are most welcome Calliope. Anything for the rock star." She replies giving Callie her super magic dimpled smile.
The two are so caught up and lost within each other's eyes that they forgot Mark was in the room. Or bathroom.
"Ahem, I'm still here you know. The eye sexing isn't going to help you get off right now." Mark says as he walks out and takes a seat on the small couch in the room.
"Oh shut up Mark!" They both say simultaneously and end up giggling about it.
"Well, seems like a party in here. Am I interrupting something? I can come back later." A familiar, unwanted voice comes in.
"Jessica? What are you doing here? I didn't call you. Is everything okay?" Callie nervously rambles and pushes away the food tray. She was acting like she was caught in the act. Arizona noticed her rejection to the food she brought as if it wasn't hers and this had hurt Arizona. It made her think that Callie wasn't ready for this. She wasn't ready for her.
"Yeah, you didn't call. I found out from Aria that you get discharged today. I'm guessing from the frat party here, you had no intentions of doing so anyway." She states looking at Arizona and Mark.
"I didn't call because last time I did your secretary said you were too busy to take my call and that you would get back to me. That was 2 days ago." Callie says back with a hint if sadness in her voice.
"I was never told about that call! Fucking Julie, I'm going to fire her ass. I'm not as bitchy as you think I am Cals. You make me look like I'm such a bad person by denying my girlfriend some of my time!" Jessica yells back.
Girlfriend. That word stung Arizona like stake through her non beating heart. Callie wasn't her girlfriend. She was someone else's.
"I didn't say that. Honey, look I'm glad you're here. I'm about ready to go anyway, so you can take me home right? We can talk more later. Is that okay?" Callie pleads.
The woman lets out a sigh, trying to calm herself down. And gives Callie a tight smile.
"What about Jack and Jill here? You seemed be having fun. I assumed they were here to take you home." Jessica says as she gives Callie a kiss on the lips, making sure Arizona saw.
By this point Arizona was really hurt and angry as fuck. Callie seemed like putty in this bitch's hand. And to think they were making progress. She was so stupid to think it was anything more than friendship. Mark told her Callie was unhappy with Jessica. He said there's nothing to worry about!
She knew Callie was her soul mate, but maybe she was wrong. It was all too much to analyze in this small room.
Mark had noticed Arizona tense up. He knew it wasn't good and he had to get her outta here. And being in the same room with Callie's "girlfriend" was not making him happy either.
"Well, hello to you too Polly. We just wanted to stop by and say hello to our friend." Mark buts in.
"Mhhm, well I noticed you and Callie getting all chummy, but what about Virginia here? I haven't seen you around. Why are you here now? Don't you have little brats to put band aids on or something?" The green-eyed woman retaliates.
Something inside Az snaps, and she can no longer keep quiet. She'd rather not get involved but this woman just crossed a very dangerous line.
"You haven't seen me around because you NEVER visited Calliope. That's your fault, not mine. And yes, I SAVE KIDS every day. I am the Head of Pediatric Surgery, I am a world renowned surgeon, and I give the small humans their lives back. So I think I'm pretty damn awesome!" Arizona bites back taking steps closer to Jessica.
"You think you're all that? You take care of kids. Big deal. Anyone can handle kids. There is nothing interesting there. And I suggest you watch your tone with me. I can have you kicked out of this room for disruption. You don't belong here, bitch. You're not family, you're nothing." Jessica replies back.
"Hon, please stop. They were just about to-" Callie gets cut off.
"Hey, Schwartz, why don't you back the fuck up before I do something to that face of yours that no plastic surgeon could fix." Mark stands up to stand in between the two women. "And don't even try to pull your bullshit law crap on me. I could care less."
"You think you sca-" This time Jessica was cut off.
"Enough! Why can't you all just get along! You act like children for Christ's sake!" Callie yells.
"Hon, this wannabe started it! All I wanted was for her to leave, so I can get you out of here and take you the hell home already!" Jessica yells back.
Arizona's blood was boiling. This bitch really didn't know who she was messing with. Good thing Mark had a strong grip on her or else.
"Alright calm down, Mark and Arizona were-" Callie was cut off once again.
"Yeah, I get it Callie, we we're just leaving." Arizona replies with venom in her voice, and walks out without facing the Latina, and before Callie could say more.
Mark took one last look at Callie, who was pleading with her eyes for a silent apology. He nodded and left as well.
"Glad that's over." Jessica states as she takes a seat but then her phone starts ringing. "I'll be right back Cal, I gotta take this." She says to Callie as she walks into the restroom for some privacy.
"Yeah, sure." Callie mindlessly responds.
A few seconds later a nurse came in to give Callie the green light and that she was free to go. Moments after that Yang popped her head in.
"Torres, I like you, I really do roomie, but I like Blondie more now. And that was just wrong." Yang blurts out.
"What are you talking about?" Callie asks in confusion.
"Everyone on the floor heard it. I mean really. Are you that clueless about that bimb-"
"I get it Yang! Look just, can everybody just mind their own business. I know what I'm doing." Callie whispers and Yang just raises her hands in defeat and steps back outside.
Callie felt horrible for how she acted and how Jessica treated them. She knew Jessie could be harsh and childish sometimes but she really went overboard this time. She wanted so badly for Arizona and Mark to stay but she knew she had to get them out before Jessica said more. Callie saw the look on Arizona's face and to be honest it scared her a bit to see that much hurt and anger.
She hoped that Arizona would understand why she acted the way she did. She didn't want rumors to go around that Arizona might've been a reason as to why they broke up. Because Callie had enough. All she needed was the perfect excuse to do it. She knew she was trying to find an easy way out, but right now that's all Callie had. She needed the time. She has a plan. She just hoped they understood. Hoped that Arizona understood.
Please.
Dumdumdum. Drama galore! Ha, so I'm mixing things up a bit. Don't worry, those two will break up soon. And then we'll be seeing the first Calzona fight of my fic! Teehee. So exciting.
Anyway I'm sounding a bit crazy now so I'll leave you all alone.
You know what to do!
OOH OHH P.S.
