A couple of months of not speaking later, there was still no change. Neither wanted to be the first to break the silence. This would have maybe been a little bit easier if they had not been seated together at the annual Faculty Christmas Party.
'You have to introduce me to EVERYONE' George was super excited about meeting all Callie's friends, she hadn't brought round any of them. 'Which one's Arizona, you always talked about her then... nothing'
'I've told you, we just had a fight' She said it in monotone, it was clear this wasn't the first time she'd said this.
'Callie...' He touched her hand affectionately, she pulled it away. 'Why won't you tell me?'
'George, we're not going over this again. I can't have this fight with you again. Just leav...' She stopped abruptly, looking up at a blonde haired woman who had just joined the table. George followed her gaze. He did his thinking out loud.
'Blonde hair, dimples and a beautiful smile. Arizona I presume' He stood up and held his hand out to her.
'Sorry do I know you?' She hadn't seen Callie who'd been hiding behind her husband, preying Arizona wouldn't see her.
'Yes, well no, but I know you, my wife used to talk of no one else. I'm George. Callie's husband' he held out his hand for her to shake. She shook it, looking behind him to Callie, who didn't look up. 'And who's this lovely lady with you' Callie looked up now, noticing, for the first time, that there was someone else with Arizona, someone who had her arm around her.
'Oh how rude of me this is Kristin, my girlfriend' George shook her hand too nudging Callie to make her get up and do the same.
'Hello Kristin...Arizona's girlfriend' There was an awkward pause as Callie was still shaking her hand after a good 6 seconds which, for a handshake, is an incredibly long time.
'Callie?' George was trying to pull her hand back.
'Hmmm' she said, seemly coming out of a daze. She looked down at her hand 'Oh, sorry' she retracted it hand immediately. Could it get any more embarrassing?
'Hi, Callie is it? Nice to meet you. You have an...interesting handshake' Apparently it could. 'How do you know Arizona?' And awkward too, what a combination.
'I...we were...she's my...' How could she describe her relationship with Arizona Robbins. 'Well I'm married but I still had the hots for her so after we'd been best friends for a while, we almost kissed in her classroom. But George came in and stopped us. I thought that was it but then at a club we started dancing, kissing and touching and next thing I know I'm waking up half naked in her bed!' She imagined their stunned faces. Maybe not. Especially not in front of her husband and Arizona's new girlfriend.
'Colleagues.' It was Arizona who had replied. 'We're just colleagues. Our classrooms are next to each other.'
Wow. So if it wasn't already insanely embarrassing and awkward, she had now been emotionally slapped in the face. She knew Arizona had been mad but 'just colleagues'? She could have at least said friends.
'Yes.' Said Callie, not wanting to lose face and cause yet more embarrassment. 'Just colleagues'
'Don't be silly Callie' George pulled Kristen into the seat next to him. 'They used to be best friends but they had a fight. One Callie won't tell me about. Maybe you can get it out of Arizona and tell me eh?' He winked at her. Callie and Arizona shared a look. It lasted only a couple of seconds but in that moment a mutual understanding of what the other was thinking was exchanged. They both got up.
'We're fine, there was no fight! Come on Az, I need a drink.' She pulled Arizona up, linked arms and directed her towards the bar. It was the closest they had been in months but it felt like they'd never been apart. All the anger Callie had had ebbed away at her touch. When they were away from George and Kristin, she turned to Arizona.
'Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed all that stuff. I really miss you, as a friend and everything else...' She stopped at the sound of Arizona laughing.
'So what Calliope? You thought you'd apologise and I'd just take you back as a 'friend and everything else'? I didn't come over here with you to make up. I came over here because I don't want Kristin to ask anything else about it. Because that way it's easier for me to forget you.'
