A/N: I wasn't planning on posting this but then again why not. By the time where I'm at with the writing some questions will already be answered so keep reading and you'll see. Also this week's episode. UHM CRISTINA AND SHANE? YIKES. And awh Arizona was so cute asking Callie for a hug and I was proud of herself for admitting that she was seeing someone. And also Alex and Jo are really cute. Glad to see that maybe Karev will get his happy ending. Bailey's still confusing me. Now enjoy the story haha. Also chapters after this one get longer. So yay to that.
When Arizona woke up next morning she was in a room she saw before but didn't really know who's it was. She tried to stand up but a strong yet soft arm was wrapped around her waist holding her down. She didn't drink last night so why was she confused?
A voice behind her muttered something she couldn't understand. Arizona turned around and saw Callie. Crap. She lifted the sheet and noticed they were both dresses. Arizona sighed in relief. Then she remembered what happened.
Callie was dancing it out with Cristina and each time the song changed they had to drink another glass. They've been dancing for over an hour now and they were mostly just stumbling around. April has joined them and she really got wild after a few drinks.
Arizona sat in the back. She was drinking juice because she still had to drive back and as a doctor she knew better than to drink. After Callie hugged her on the porch she felt too shy to look in her eyes and she had a feeling she would blurt something embarrassing to her if they would have another conversation.
"Hey," a woman voice said.
"Hi," Arizona responded confused. She didn't remember seeing her before.
"Peds right?" she asked her.
Arizona turned her head and eyed her to get the better look of her and tried to remember her. Maybe she's seen her around the hospital since it was just doctors at this party.
"Leah Murphy, I'm a surgical intern," she said offering her hand.
Arizona shook it. "Arizona Robbins, head of peds." She felt the need to explain that tiny detail.
Arizona felt uncomfortable. This girl kept talking to her and wanting to get to know her for some reason. She couldn't keep her eyes of Callie who was dancing widely in the middle of the living room.
"She's pretty isn't she?" Leah asked when she noticed Arizona seemed to be staring somewhere else. Or well at someone else.
"Uhm...," Arizona started nervously.
"I'm sorry. I know I can be a little to forward. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," Leah said honestly.
Arizona offered her a smile. "It's fine really I was just taken back a little."
Callie walked to Arizona when she saw her talking to some dirty blonde girl. "Want a drink?" she slured and passed her an already empty glass. She managed to sit down next to her.
"No, thank you and I think you had enough too," Arizona replied glad that Leah's attention wasn't on her anymore.
"But.. But," Callie tried coming with a good excuse.
"I'm driving," Arizona reminded Callie who was drunk enough to not really be sure how she got to the party.
"But you sad. And when you drink you get happier."
Arizona sighed wishing Callie was drunk enough to forget that incident. "That is not a good idea. How are you getting home?"
Callie tried to concentrate on where home was but couldn't think of anything. "My ex husband is in the army," she said sitting down.
Arizona's eyes widened. She wasn't sure whether from the fact that she heard a word husband or the fact that he was in the army. "You were married?" she asked in a high pitched voice that she tried to cover but Callie didn't even seem to notice.
"For like three days. Then he cheated. She got cancer," Callie said stumbling over some words and not really finishing sentences.
Arizona was going from confused to shocked in a matter of seconds. "Okay why don't we get you home?" she offered.
Callie shook her head. "You told me why, I tell you why." Then she shook her head again and corrected herself. "I told you why, now you tell me why."
Arizona laughed softly at the correction but then sighed deeply. Callie wasn't even in the right state to listen to the blonde's secrets. "I can't."
"Stupid," Callie said and tried to stand up but stumbled over herself.
Arizona could have just left but felt the need to protect her. "C'mon," she said grabbing Callie's hand to lead her through the crowd of people.
"Your hand's soft," Callie said grinning slyly.
Arizona blushed and brushed the compliment off. She's drunk, she doesn't know what she's saying, she thought. "Uhm can you hold on tight enough?" Arizona asked now wishing they wouldn't take her bike.
"Always," Callie said still grinning. She felt very happy even though she knew her head's gonna be about to explode tomorrow.
Arizona placed a helmet on Callie's head and secured the strap. She placed her own helmet on. She sat on her bike and waited for Callie who took her time moving extremely slowly.
"Are you settled?" Arizona asked. Callie hummed her answer and wrapped her arms around the blonde holding her closer than she usually would.
"Lift your legs," Arizona warned and started her bike. She was thankful that there was no curvy street or the down the hill street. She parked right in front of Callie's apartment building.
Callie was nestled comfortable behind Arizona her head resting on her back, her eyes dropping heavily every once in a while. She had a hard time not faling asleep. When the soothing vibrates from the bike moving stopped she lifted her head."Oh home," she said and tried to step off the bike but didn't lift her leg high enough nearly tripping over.
Arizona stepped off and then helped Callie. She removed the taller woman's helmet and placed it back in the motorcycle's trunk. She expected for Callie to go in the building but instead she just stood there momentarily puzzled.
Arizona laughed to herself. She hasn't laughed this many times since.. well since that horrible thing happened and she found drunk Callie to be incredibly funny. And adorable.
"Let's go upstairs," Arizona said. Callie just shrugged and followed her. For the sake of Callie's drunken state she even took an elevator.
Callie snorted to herself as she remembered an old joke someone, probably Mark told her. "Why did Sally fall off the swing?" Callie asked during the ride.
"Uh why?" Arizona asked. She knew the joke and she didn't find it funny but she still went along.
"Because she has no arms," Callie said giggling. "Knock knock?"
Arizona bit her lip to stop herself from smiling. "Who's there?"
"Not... Sally," Callie said between fits of laughter and giggle at the same time. She was having a hard time catching a breath on top of it.
Arizona smiled and escorted Callie towards her room. Cristina once told her there was an extra key under the mat in front of the doors. She unlocked it and Callie walked inside.
Callie looked at all the doors that lead away from the living room and didn't know where to go. Arizona wondered how did the brunette usually got home. "Your room," Arizona said pointing at the door.
"Right thanks," Callie replied and entered her room but only came back a second later. "I need to pee and there are monsters in the bathroom."
Arizona would laugh if Callie wouldn't look scared. She followed Callie and from the light shining through the room and in bathroom it really looked like monsters were in there but she knew those were only towels. She turned on the light in the bathroom. "There."
Arizona wasn't sure if she should leave or wait so she decided to wait. Callie came out of the bathroom ten minutes later wearing nothing but her underwear.
"I don't know where my pajama's are," the brunette said sighing dramatically.
"Well you can sleep just fine in uh underwear too," Arizona said trying not to stare too directly. She waited for Callie to settle in her bed and turned around.
"You're really pretty," Callie confessed and faught her eyes to stay open.
Arizona blushed and reminded herself it was the alcohol talking. "Goodnight Callie," she said.
"Stay."
Arizona looked at Callie. She couldn't. She shouldn't. But she wanted to. "Just go to sleep."
"Please," Callie pleaded. And she was not a person who would beg.
Arizona sighed. It would in a way be very friendly of her if she would keep any eye out on Callie during the night just in case she needed to throw up or something else. Arizona sat down on the bed since she had no other place to sit.
Callie closed her eyes and almost immediately fell asleep. She heard some shuffling around her room and opened her eyes. "Where are you going?" she mumbled, her voice hoarse from sleep.
"Home. Just sleep Callie. You'll be fine," Arizona said. She really needed to get out of the room before she would grow even more attached.
"My stomach hurts," Callie whined.
Arizona sighed. "What do you want me to do?" At least she could help her before leaving her alone.
"Cuddle me," Callie said with a sleepy smile.
"I don't think that's a good idea," Arizona replied hesitantly.
"I promise I won't throw up on you."
And so Arizona layed down in the bed. She was laying on her back and staring at the ceiling. She wasn't comfortable but she would sneak out once Callie will be asleep anyway. That's what she thought.
Callie threw her arm around Arizona's waist and turned on her side causing Arizona to turn too. Callie involunterly pulled her even closer in her body. Her face dropped in the crook of Arizona's neck.
"No, no alcohol," Callie muttered in her sleep. Arizona smiled softly and then watched Callie's facial expressions change to more calm. Callie looked so peaceful, her eyebrows slightly burrowed and her lips parted. Arizona groaned and gently lifted Callie's arm from her body.
She needed to leave her before she would end up doing something she would regret. Though her crush on this beautiful Latina kept growing every day more and more.
Suddenly Callie bolted up in the bed and ran in the bathroom leaving a very confused and startled Arizona behind. "I'm never drinking again," Callie mumbled as she hurled in the toilet. Wait why was there another person in her bed? She washed her mouth and refreshed her face.
"You okay?" Arizona asked blushing from embarrassment.
Callie shrugged. "My stomach's feeling funny and my head hurts and my body feels like jello. But what are you doing here?" Callie didn't remember anything and judging by the fact that both of them were still dressed nothing happened.
"You got drunk last night and I drove you here since we used my bike and then I thought I should stay. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Arizona said and stood up. She ran her hand through her messy bed hair.
"It's fine really just the last time I got drunk and woke up with someone next to me it was Cris and she was staring at me creepily and before you say something nothing happened just too much tequila," Callie explained ranting about something that didn't even make sense. "If you need to go to the bathroom I'd say use Cristina's."
Callie changed her clothes and decided she would take a shower later since she was on night shift and didn't have to be in hospital for a six hours. She took her time making herself look and feel presentable and she wasn't sure whether Arizona was still there or did she leave.
"Thank you," Callie said honestly when she saw Arizona putting her shoes on at the front door.
"You're welcome. You gonna be okay?"
Callie nodded. "I'll take some pills, take a nap, have a shower. drink coffee and I'll be as good as new. You?"
"I'm off today," Arizona replied with a soft smile. "Bye."
Callie nodded o herself. "Bye." She didn't want her to leave but making her stay after she already spent the night seemed like too much. And it's not like she remembered why the blonde even stayed the night.
