A/N: This chapter's on the shorter side, sorry! It just seemed like a decent stopping point. I'm hoping to get the next one (which will be longer and more involved) up next weekend sometime between finals. Fingers crossed!

Chapter 12

The first time Arizona saw Callie talking – no, not talking, flirting – with Officer Sutton, she chalked it up to her mind making things up due to their strange circumstance. When she had entered the courtyard one day for recess, she had observed Callie smiling and laughing and even placing a lingering hand on the officer's forearm, and the usually somber guard had even cracked a smile of her own. When Callie had noticed Arizona's presence, she had grinned broadly at the blonde, but Arizona swore she had noticed a trace of guilt pass through her girlfriend's chocolate eyes. But she had brushed it off. She knew Callie could charm the pants off anyone, including their stern guards. Callie had strutted over to her and wiped the slight scowl off her face by pulling her into a searing kiss. Her doubts had been momentarily assuaged when Callie's hot tongue entered her mouth.

Now nearly two weeks later, Arizona had witnessed the Latina interacting with Officer Sutton on a number of occasions, but had always let it slide when Callie gave her a brilliantly white, toothy grin. Kind of. She had begun to tease Callie about Sutton, only half-joking. Callie just rolled her eyes and laughed unaware of the growing jealousy simmering just below the surface.

Today was no different when Arizona entered the enclosure, and she wished that just once she could be the one to arrive first. Callie's back was turned to the gate, and Arizona decided that this could be her chance to figure out what the two of them kept them so damned entertained.

"Please, Officer Sutton. I'll make it up to you later. I'll do anything," Arizona heard Callie say as she came up behind the pair. Callie's voice was practically oozing sex. Arizona furrowed her brow and narrowed her eyes in disdain for a brief moment, before plastering a bright smile on her face. She reached the pair and wrapped her arms around Callie from behind, planting a kiss on the brunette's neck.

"Hey, baby," Arizona just about purred.

"Um, hey," Callie said with a furrowed brow, confused by Arizona's uncharacteristic behavior.

"I missed you," Arizona said, before releasing her hold on Callie and planting a kiss on the taller woman's surprised lips. To Arizona's dismay, Callie pulled away almost immediately, not wanting to give Officer Sutton a show.

"Do you mind if I talk to Officer Sutton for a minute?"

Yes, of course she minded. "Um…no, that's fine. I'll just be over there…waiting." Arizona emphasized her point by kissing Callie's earlobe and flicking her tongue over the soft flesh briefly, before sauntering off to their usual spot.

Callie laughed and shook her head as she watched her girlfriend purposely swaying her hips. A moment later, the laughter disappeared as she turned back to face the guard in front of her.

"So, will you think about it?" Callie asked pleadingly.

Officer Sutton sighed. "There are so many reasons why we shouldn't do this."

"But one really good reason why we should, right?" Callie questioned hopefully, chancing a glance at her girlfriend.

"Maybe."

"I really mean it when I say I'll do anything."

"All I can promise is right now is that I'll think about it," Sutton said with finality.

"Thank you!" Callie replied, flashing her a wide grin.

"Now, go see to that pouting girlfriend of yours." With a slight smile, Officer Sutton nodded in Arizona's direction. Her girlfriend was, in fact, pouting, her arms crossed as she slumped against the fence and chewed the inside of her cheek.

Callie grinned and started towards Arizona, before stopping and turning to face Sutton again. "Seriously, thank you."

"I only said I'd think about it, Torres. Now go!" The guard's smile completely belied her words.

Reaching Arizona, Callie positioned her hands on either side of the blonde's head, curling her fingers around the wires. She placed a kiss on Arizona's frown, before moving to her jawbone and dotting it with light kisses. When she reached Arizona's neck, the blonde scrunched up her shoulders and turned her head, prohibiting Callie's access.

"Okay, what's going on?" Callie asked as she stepped back.

Arizona wasn't proud of it, but she was, admittedly, the jealous type, and she had naively begun to believe that Callie reserved that special smile and that sexy "bedroom" voice for her. She had, however, just witnessed Callie using both of those things on another woman.

"It's nothing, Callie."

Callie cocked her eyebrow, indicating that she wasn't buying Arizona's dismissal one bit.

"Okay, well, if it's nothing, how about you let me kiss my beautiful girlfriend?" Callie baited teasingly.

"And who would that be?" Arizona shot back. Apparently, she was also passive aggressive.

"Oh, so it is something. You're jealous!"

"No, I am not jealous," Arizona balked, as if the very thought was simply ludicrous. "I just don't like you blatantly flirting with someone else in front of me."

"Flirting? You thought I was flirting. With Officer Sutton?" Callie practically howled in laughter.

"It's not that funny. You had your Callie charm oozing out of your pores."

"I wasn't flirting," Callie said once she'd sobered up a bit.

"Then what were you doing?"

"I can't tell you."

Arizona huffed and re-crossed her arms over her ribcage.

"Why would I flirt with Sutton? Even when she is all frowny and pouty and jealous, my girlfriend is one million times more beautiful…and sexy…and charming…than anyone else. Especially Officer Sutton." Callie punctuated her words with kisses along Arizona's jaw, while attempting to uncross her arms.

"Okay, fine. I was a little jealous."

Callie let out a hearty laugh. "A little?"

"Don't push it."

"Arizona, you purred and then you licked my earlobe in front of Officer Sutton!"

"Hey, I was just trying to show her what was mine!"

"I don't think anyone doubts that I'm yours."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah," Callie reassured her with a smile.

"So you weren't flirting with Sutton?"

"No."

"But you can't tell me what you were doing?"

"No," Callie said again with a sheepish shake of her head. "Can you just trust me?" Callie asked, searching Arizona's eyes for any hesitation.

"Yeah, I can," Arizona answered after a few seconds of inwardly processing.

"Okay, now I've been seriously missing my girlfriend and I want a real kiss before they throw us back in our cells."

Arizona finally gave Callie a genuine grin and uncrossed her arms, dangling them loosely around the taller woman's neck.

"I think that can be arranged."
