"You two."

Callie set her tray down making sure to hit the table hard to get her friends' attention.

"From now on, you're both not allowed, ever, to meddle in my relationships. No more blind dates, no more hook-ups coming from both of you! Especially you, Mark. You're the worse!"

"Me? That was Teddy's idea." Mark defended himself.

"Come on, what happened? Arizona doesn't wanna tell." Teddy asked.

"What happened?! You tell me, Teddy. You're a wonderful woman, an amazing cardiothoracic surgeon, what is wrong with you? How the hell did you end up with Mark as your boyfriend and Arizona as your best friend? They're like the King and Queen of douchebags and sex offenders—"

"Hey, I'm supposed to be your best friend!!!"

"Shut up, Mark. I'm still mad at you!"

"I told you, I didn't agree with this either. I told you babe!" Mark shot a look at Teddy.

"Hey guys! What's up?!" Arizona came bouncing with her own tray of food. She was glad to see her group of friends. She hates being the new gal at work especially during lunch breaks. It's like first day of high school all over again.

Callie groaned and rolled her eyes before standing up and cutting her lunch early. She's not really in the mood to mingle with Arizona. She knows she's being petty and maybe childish but she doesn't care. Arizona got on her last nerve last night.

"What's wrong with her?—Ouch Theodora!!!" Teddy punched Arizona in her arm, so she punched her friend back.

"Stop your girlfriend, Mark!" Arizona eyed Mark. The latter just threw his hands up in front of him, telling Arizona that he doesn't wanna get involved. He knows how Teddy is when she's pissed.

"What did you do this time, Zona?"

"What do you mean what did I do this time?" Arizona played innocent as she take a bite of her carrot.

"Arizona Michelle!?" And that was it, once Teddy says her second name she means serious business.

"Okay, so I got a call. I told you I had a date scheduled last night. So we had to cut our date short— Ouch stop hitting me! Are you a freaking child?! Mark, stop her!" They've always been rough ever since. Teddy only stopped when she noticed people staring at them.

"Callie didn't deserve that! Just when I found a perfect woman for you, you go and fuck it up big time! Apologize to her!" Arizona let out a big sigh.

"See? This is why I don't wanna get involved with her, she's Mark's bestfriend, she's your friend. We'll just end up fighting over this, and you'll go crazy on me, like what you're doing right now." Arizona explained.

"You really think I'm buying your reason?" Teddy scoffed, she knows Arizona too well.

"Stop it Ted. Can we just have a peaceful lunch?!" Arizon rolled her eyes at her friend. Something, or rather, someone caught her attention at the vending machine.

"Peaceful? And you eyeing that brunette nurse is part of your peaceful lunch? Quit it, Arizona. That's Noelle, she's not even gay." Arizona just shrugged her shoulder at her friend.

"Well, she was last night." Mark almost choked with Arizona's phrase.

"I cannot believe you! Just one day and you go at it like a fucking Rabbit." Teddy glared at her and left the two just like Callie did. Arizona just laughed, making Mark laugh as well.

"That's a talent you know. You pissed both Callie and Teddy in one day, let alone in the same hour. No, actually you know what?! You're brave, Robbins. You amaze me." Mark laughed.

"They're too easy." Arizona shrugged.

"I get you Arizona. I get all these. You were me." Mark started talking after a few minutes of silence shared. Arizona felt awkward when she felt his icy eyes on her.

"Excuse me?!" Arizona coughed the remaining of the apple juice that she inhaled.

"This, what you're doing right now, was me few years ago." Mark repeated.

"Okay Grandpa, stop right there."

"It's fine Arizona, go play all you want. Sleep with all the women in this hospital, in the whole Seattle too if you want, but once you realize what you've missed don't go calling me, asking me how to properly woo a Callie Torres." Mark's tone is now serious.

"Callie?! Did you not hear what happened with our date? Okay. I get it. You're really funny, Mark." She was still trying to laugh off Mark's sudden seriousness but the guy who she instantly became comfortable making inappropriate jokes with just shook his head.

"I'm telling you, Arizona." Mark said before leaving her alone at the table.

"Okay, fine! Leave me!" She huffed.

"I have surgery, but I still give the hats off to you! I'm still your friend, you'll need me someday." Mark winked at her.

"Asshole." She whispered and then she smiled. That's what the brunette called her last night too.

She's really hot when she turns red. She thought to herself and then stopped for a second. No, stop it Arizona. You're not going there.

...

Months has passed since the blonde and the brunette were introduced in the most miserable chance possible. Both Callie and Arizona learned how to co-exist in the hospital without Callie walking out on her. They could be civil during lunch breaks if they were with Mark and Teddy but they would never sit together if it's just the two of them.

They've shared cases together as well and Callie couldn't thank the heavens enough for Arizona's professionalism. She's a whole different persona inside the OR, she takes the Pediatric Surgeon title seriously. And if she was presented with the Peds surgeon version of Arizona, she would have taken a chance on her but no, the blonde behind the mask and under the pink scrub cap seems to be enjoying unleashing the beast in her.

Today is a special day for both Mark and Teddy. Mark Sloan proposed to Teddy few months ago after finding out that his girlfriend for 2 years is pregnant. The two are inseparable and Callie couldn't help but be jealous of her best friend.

She never thought Mark would be the first one to settle down, being the fuck and forget kind of guy that he was for a very long time. Mark really has changed a lot for Teddy. He matured, if that's even possible. Teddy brought out the best in her best friend and she couldn't thank her enough for all that she does for him. Now she can take a step back and allow her to be her best friend's new best friend. She was emotional with that idea but it only felt right to do so. It doesn't mean things are gonna be different anyway. She'll still be available for the couple as needed.

Mark doesn't have a family of his own, he grew up in foster homes, didn't have anyone to actually adopt him, he practically lived in between all his jobs and school, sent his self up to college, he joined various sports just to support his schooling. When Callie met Mark during their bio class they instany hit it off, having have known his story, Callie was really impressed with the man. They tried dating each other but after sharing a kiss, all the sexual tension between them are gone, it just didn't work out, it didn't feel right for the both of them, they've decided they were just meant to be friends. No sparks ever flew between them, that she assured Teddy. Having have said that, she adopted Mark as her own brother. Today on his wedding day, Callie is like the emotional big sister to him.

She could feel all her neurons jumping on each of her nerves when she was called to make a toast for the newlyweds. Callie and public speaking were never friends.

"M-Mark, you already know this. You are one of the most important men in my life. And you Teddy, are already like a sister to me, no not just like a sister, you are a sister to me and I love you both so much—"

"I love you too, Cal. You know that, but I'm sorry I just have to—" Mark couldn't stop laughing as he points to what caught his attention.

"Arizona Michelle! What the hell?!" Teddy shouted at her best friend, making all their guest turn their head on the other side of the room, right there beside the gorgeous vintage floral cake is Arizona, her tongue down her date's throat and her hand... that brunette, whoever she was wasn't supposed to wear a short fitted dress to an intimate wedding party like this.

"Nice!" One guy commented.

"Go Robbins!" Her resident, Alex, cheered.

"Anyway I was just trying to say—" Callie was disgusted by the scene but decided to continue with her speech until a blonde went over and grabbed her microphone.

"I love you Teddy! You too Mark! Best wedding ever!" Mark was laughing, Teddy couldn't hide her smile as well. A drunk Arizona is always a delight to have.

"Arizona! It's my turn! You already gave your speech!" Callie groaned.

"I'm sorry. Go ahead!" She kissed her on her cheeks and slapped her behind. Which made Callie gasp and even more furious, disgusted by the fact that the blonde's mouth was just on another woman's lips and here she goes kissing her cheeks.

...

"You like her."

Teddy went and sat beside her best friend who was alone in one of the tables. Both are watching Callie and Mark on the dance floor. Callie was sexy dancing but it's nothing to make Teddy jealous, the duo are obviously just having fun and Teddy likes seeing her, now husband, this happy.

"Excuse me?" She stared at Teddy as if she just dropped the biggest joke on her.

"Callie. You like her." Teddy repeated.

"Am I drunk or you are drunk?" Arizona giggled. She's definitely already buzzed.

"Come on, admit it. I know you too well. You keep pushing her away since your first date because the moment she opened her door that day you've fallen head over heels for her. You like her and you're scared that you do." Teddy explained what she felt.

"I am attracted, she's hot, really hot but it all goes away every time I'm reminded that she is your friend." Arizona spatted at her.

"That or she reminds you of Joanne?"

"It's your wedding day Teddy but you suck!"

"Come on! The moment I saw her, I had the Joanne vibes too, I know they're both you know, but she's definitely not like her."

"Let's not... let's not talk about her."

"Okay. But it still doesn't change the fact that you like Callie. Stop pissing her off and pushing her to her limit. you might regret it one day. She obviously like you too."

"She does not, she can't even stay in the same room with me unless we're doing surgery."

"Cause you act like the worse scumbag every time you're with her. And you do it on purpose because you know that if you stare in her eyes for more than a second, she could have you wrapped around her finger—"

"Okay, you need to stop now Theodora before I walk out on you."

"Look at her." Teddy guided Arizona's gaze back to the dancefloor.

"Look how her hip sways. Hmmn, sexy. If only I swing that way, I would have fucked her right in the middle of that dance floor. I don't even know how my husband could control himself. God I love that man and he's actually my husband." She could see how Arizona was watching Callie, her mouth agape. Making Teddy chuckle.

"Tell me you're not tempted to go over there to grab her from my dashing husband so you could run your fingers over her glowing caramel skin. Hmmn, look at that jawline. I would run my lips on it, down to her neck." Teddy started teasing. If this is Arizona's game then she will play it well too. She saw her friend swallow a big lump on her throat as she watch the gorgeous Latina swing her hips on the dance floor. Arizona's too easy.

"I'm sure you're not playing scenes in your head right now, on how badly you would unzip her from that sexy plunging satin dress that's hugging her every curve while your tongue—" Arizona could feel her center pool, her stomach doing all the turning and her heartbeat definitely on tachycardia. It was no denying that Callie really look so alluring and seductive in her salmon skin colored tight satin dress that had a high slit on her left, showing her gorgeous toned legs.

"You're fucking annoying, Teddy." With that she walked out on her best friend. Teddy just gave her a hearty laugh causing Mark and Callie to look at her direction. Both saw a raging blonde scuffle out of her seat and went straight to the bar to get a cup of ice cold water.

Both Callie and Mark shook their heads. Teddy probably pissed Arizona off like she always does. Arizona caught Callie's eyes staring and hoped that the brunette didn't notice the blush in her face, when Callie gave her a half smile, Arizona groaned and turned to face the bar. She doesn't appreciate Callie's effect on her core. She's too much for her and Teddy was right, it scares her.

Callie on the other hand misinterpreted the blonde's reaction with her friendly smile.

She really hates me. Callie thought wrong.
