"Hey, Blondie," Mark said as he dropped his try next to Arizona's in the cafeteria.
"Mark," Arizona said when she looked up from her phone to see the head of plastics sitting next to her.
"How are things with you and Torres?" Mark asked before bitting into his apple.
"I'm not one to chat about my relationships with colleagues, Mark," Arizona said with a laugh. "But things are going very well."
"I'm her best friend," Mark said between bites of his apple. "Practically family."
Arizona tried not to roll her eyes. "Are you here to give me the big brother speech? Because I was raised by Marines. I'm pretty sure if it came to ass kicking, I'd win."
"O'Malley knocked her on her ass," Mark said in a moment of sincerity. "But the last few weeks now that she's with you? Well, she's like a whole new woman."
"Like I said, things are going very well," Arizona said. "She's cooking me dinner tonight, in fact."
"Callie is a great cook," Mark smiled before getting to his feet. "Have a good night, Blondie," he said before walking away to go find Callie. He thought it was about time for them to chat.
Mark found Callie in one of the supply rooms. "So, tonight the night?" He asked after shutting the door.
"For what?" Callie asked, turning to look at him over her shoulder.
"You're cooking for Blondie," Mark said with a grin. "She'll be at your apartment, where you keep your bed."
Callie's eyes widened a little bit. "Yeah, yeah, it is our third real date. That's the sex date, isn't it?"
"It's the sex date," Mark said as he grabbed one of the stools and moved closer. "Talk to me, Torres. Ask away."
"I don't know," Callie groaned. "I've read like a dozen articles on it, and I still have no idea what to do."
"When it doubt, just spell out her name out with your tongue," Mark chuckled. "It's a newbie thing, but it gets the job done."
"That works?" Callie asked surprised.
"Like a charm," Mark nodded. "Fingers are important too." He held his hand up and wiggled his fingers before showing her a few ways to move in that might be useful.
"I am never going to remember all this," Callie groaned after twenty minutes of Mark explaining the basics to her.
"Torres," Mark sighed. "Look, Robbins has done this before. She knows you haven't, right?"
"Right," Callie nodded.
"Then if she's worth your time, she'll make sure to help you figure it out." Mark put his hand on Callie's shoulder. "It's been more than a few years since I had a newbie taking care of my parts, but when I did I tried not to make them feel embarrassed. Robbins seems like a good teacher. Karev has even shaped up under her watch."
"Thanks, Mark," Callie smiled at her best friend. "I've seen Arizona teach; she's calm and takes her time. That has to expend outside of work. Right?"
"You tell me. Tomorrow. With all the details," Mark grinned.
"Way to break the moment." Callie rolled her eyes.
When Callie and Mark came out of the supply room, Arizona was standing there with her arms crossed over her chest and a raised eyebrow.
"Dr. Torres, a moment of your time?" Arizona's jaw was tight while she spoke.
"Arizona...I…Okay," Callie said as she followed Arizona down the hallway to an on-call room.
"What was that?" Arizona hissed when the door was shut.
"I'm sorry!" Callie said. She moved to sit on one of the on-call room beds. "Tonight is the third date. I just wanted to be prepared, and Mark has gone down on more women than anyone else I know."
"What?" Arizona looked confused.
"What did you think was happening?" Callie looked confused herself.
"Karev said he heard you and Sloan groaning in the supply room," Arizona crossed her arms over her chest.
"I was groaning, because Mark was trying to explain girl sex and I felt inept," Callie said before putting her head in her hands.
"He does not get to have an opinion on our love life." Arizona let out a groan of her own. "You want to know how to go down on me, maybe ask me?"
Callie took a deep breath. "I don't want to give you yet another thing you had to explain to me about being with another woman."
Arizona sighed before sitting down next to Callie and wrapping her arm around her. "Calliope, explaining this stuff doesn't bother me." She pressed a kiss to Callie's shoulder. "And sex stuff? I rather not have Mark Sloan of all people be who you go to."
"What's so bad about going to Mark?" Callie asked even as she leaned against Arizona.
"He's not discreet," Arizona whispered. "I'm out. We're on file with HR as a couple. I don't hide who I am. But guys like Mark have no idea when to keep their mouth's shut about things they don't understand. And Mark Sloan and guys like him don't get how talking about two women dating each other or their sex life can lead to things they can't imagine."
"Like what?" Callie asked as she shifted to wrap her arm around Arizona's waist.
"I've lost friends. I've had other doctors have issues working with me. I've been told by the boyfriends of friends to stay away from their girlfriends," Arizona admitted. "There is a layer of caution I use at work. Being out is a choice I made a long time ago. But I'm still careful because fair or not, gossip about me can lead down different roads than it can for the Mark Sloan's of the world."
"You're right," Callie sighed. "I have had my life public around here for so long I don't think about it anymore. I know you're more private," she said in an apologetic tone.
"I'm not mad, not really." Arizona leaned her head against Callie's shoulder. "Just come to me next time?"
Callie nodded as she looked over at Arizona. "Have I killed the mood for tonight?"
"No," Arizona said. She turned her head and pressed a soft kiss against Callie's shoulder. "I'm really looking forward to watching you cook."
Callie rubbed over Arizona's side. "Thank you.
"For what?" Arizona asked.
"Not just yelling at me and storming out. For letting me explain. For explaining what I didn't see or know. For sitting here with your arm around me and mine around you," Callie said.
"You're my girlfriend, Calliope. That means we talk things out and don't just scream at each other if one of us is upset." Arizona kissed where her neck turned into her shoulder.
"That is going to take some getting used to," Callie laughed weakly.
"We'll get you there," Arizona promised before standing. "I have surgery. But I'll see you tonight?"
"Yeah, you will," Callie smiled up at her.
Arizona smiled her dimpled smile before walking out.

"Dinner was incredible," Arizona said after the dishes were done. They were on the couch with her head in Callie's lap.
"I love to cook; it's relaxing," Callie smiled down at her as she ran her fingers through Arizona's hair. "Having someone to cook for is nice."
"You can cook for me whenever you want." Arizona reached for Callie's free hand so she could tangle their fingers.
"Anytime you want me to, I'll feed you." Callie leaned down to kiss Arizona firmly.
Arizona shifted from laying with her head in Callie's lap to straddle her. "I want to make sure I thank you property." She started kissing over Callie's jaw while her hands moved up and down Callie's sides. "For dinner and for the coffee yesterday morning and for being all around awesome."
"Awesome, huh?" Callie asked. She tilted her head to let Arizona kiss over her neck. She wasn't usually one for having someone nip at her neck, but the way Arizona did it felt amazing.
"And badass. And hardcore." Arizona said in between nipping at Callie's skin and then kissing over the slight indentations her teeth made.
"Arizona," Callie groaned as she moved her hands to cup Arizona's butt to pull her closer. She moved her hands up along Arizona's back before resting them on her sides.
Arizona pulled back. Her eyes were a darker blue as she looked at Callie with a soft smile. "We don't have to do anything you're not ready for, Calliope. But if you are, I am too."
Callie had to think about it for all of ten seconds. She brought her hands back down to Arizona's backside before getting to her feet. Thank God for the workout ortho provided. She carried a giggling Arizona into her room and set her carefully down on the end of bed.
"I am ready," Callie said before taking her shirt off and tossing it to the floor.
Arizona looked up at Callie as she reclined back on her hands. "You really are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."
"Says the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," Callie laughed.
Arizona reached down and pulled her top off so she and Callie were both on equal footing in the clothing department. "I guess we're even then."
"I guess so," Callie smiled as she laid on the bed next to Arizona.
Arizona laid down and wrapped an arm around Callie's waist to bring the two of them closer together. It was more skin than she was used to seeing and she was soaking it up. For a moment, she didn't make another move but after a few moments she leaned forward to kiss over the tops of Callie's breasts.
Callie's hand moved into Arizona's hair as she arched a bit against Arizona's mouth. It was such a simple action, but it made her feel warm all over.
"Can I take it off?" Arizona asked with a slightly deeper voice.
"Yes," Callie said as she felt Arizona toy with the clasp on her bra.
Clothing quickly flew off after that. Callie and Arizona swapping who took what off each other. Arizona's hands were confident, and Callie's shook just slightly. Arizona never commented on the slight shake though. She often would bring them up and kiss over Callie's palms before placing them on her body.
Callie wasn't sure what to expect, but the way Arizona touched her and the way she used her mouth, was so much better than she anticipated. Arizona took her time, never rushing but not lingering to the point of frustration. It was unlike anything she had felt before. She came twice before she tapped on the back of Arizona's neck for mercy.
And then it was her turn to touch Arizona.
Arizona was wet. Hot. And oh so ready to be touched.
The way her body responded to each swipe of her tongue or caress of her fingers made Callie want to touch more and more of her. Arizona guided her at a few points to help her and make sure Callie didn't get too lost. But overall, Callie relied on the whimpers and moans from Arizona to guide her. Never before had a whimper or a moan turned her on as much as they did tonight.
"Holy hell."
"I told you girl sex was awesome."
Callie leaned in for a kiss. Tasting herself on Arizona's lips and letting Arizona taste herself was beyond a turn on. She stroked her tongue over Arizona's before pulling back.
"I know the first time is daunting but you were a champ," Arizona chuckled softly.
"Yeah?" Callie asked with a shy smile.
"Pinky swear," Arizona held her pinky out for Callie.
Callie wrapped her pinky around Arizona's as she laughed. "I can't believe we're pinky swearing."
"I work with tiny humans. I do things like that." Arizona leaned in for another kiss.
Callie kissed her back before resting her head against Arizona's. "I got it bad for you, Arizona."
"That's really good, Calliope. Because I have it pretty bad for you too." Arizona's voice dropped to a whisper.
"Will you sleep over? After that, I don't want to wake up alone," Callie asked while stroking over Arizona's back.
"I have to be in at seven, so my alarm is going to go off stupid early," Arizona warned her.
"I have to be in at eight, so it's not too far off," Callie smiled as she sat up and stretched to pop her back. "Want something to sleep in or do you like to sleep naked after sex?"
"I'll take a t-shirt and some shorts?" Arizona grabbed her clothes and folded them before tossing on the t-shirt and shorts Callie tossed on the bed. "Do you have a spare toothbrush by any chance?"
"Bottom left draw in the bathroom," Callie said as she grabbed a matching outfit to put on herself.
After they took turns in the bathroom, they climbed back in bed. Callie wrapped Arizona up once they were in bed; the pair falling into place as soon as the lights were off.
"I could get used to this," Callie whispered in the dark.
"Me too," Arizona whispered back.
Neither said anythng for a few long moments before they both spoke at once.
"I really-."
"You're awe-."
"Say what you want to say, Calliope," Arizona said with a chuckle.
"You're awesome," Callie whispered. "I know you love that word and you are. From you just being my friend when I needed one to helping me figure out things to tonight. I'm so happy with us. You're awesome."
"I really like you, Calliope." Arizona ran her hand over Callie's arm that was around her waist. "I'm glad you had a good time tonight. And I'm glad you're happy because I am so happy too."
"Goodnight," Callie said against the back of Arizona's neck.
"Goodnight, Calliope," Arizona smiled as she drifted off.
