Hope you like it!

Chapter 15

The last two days, the doctors of GSMH, have been under the eyes of Dr. Minnick. She was a double certified doctor, education consultant, who has been interfering in their surgeries and their work as teachers. Residents loved her. They got to participate a lot more in the O.R since she´s been around.

Practically, all the rest of the doctors disliked her. Except for Dr. Torres, who hated her. The brunette had done two surgeries under Eliza´s observation, and even that the new doctor had actually congratulate her in view of her greats hands and her willingness to teach, the ortho surgeon couldn't help hating her.

She is annoying. She walks like she owns the place .- Callie was telling Meredith while they were getting out of the cafeteria and into the blonde´s office.

You´ve already said that- Grey told her, sitting in the couch with the lunch they grabed on their way- I think there´s something more going on here, isn´t it?

What else can be going on?- Callie said playing fool.

Oh, come on! I´ve seen the way Minnick look at Arizona, there´s no way you haven´t noticed. You haven´t left Robbins´ side since she arrived.

That´s not true.- Callie complained but realized it was stupid to hide it, especially with Meredith.- Fine. Minnick haven´t been just looking at Arizona… She´s been flirting with her!

In front of you? That´d be fun to see. I fear for that woman´s life.- The blonde laughed at the idea, knowing Minnick was stepping into minefield.

I kind of overheard?

Torres!

What! Well, they were in the middle of the hallway… sort of.- Meredith gave her a grimace and she continued- Minnick was in the elevator and Arizona was complaining because she wasn´t in her list, you know, the one she was making with all the attendings in it? And then she told her it was just so she can remember the names. And she didn´t need to write down Arizona´s because there was no way she will forget her face. "That name attached to that face? That is not one you forget", she said in a freaking sexy way. I swear letting her go alive was truly hard. – Callie said almost laughing at her own madness.

What Arizona did?

Nothing. She just stood there and went out.

You have to stop this. Talk to her once and for all. You are driving yourself crazy for nothing. I´m sure Arizona isn´t interested in her.

Did you see the woman?

She is hot, so what? Haven´t been the two of you more than friendly lately?

I told you nothing has happened.

Because you are two idiots. You, yourself, told me you were flirting with each other and it was obvious something was going on? Be you the one that made the move and stop wasting your time! If Arizona has been playing your game for this long what make you thing she will go after Minnick just because she was flirting with her.

I don´t know! Ugh… Maybe she wants to date other people. Maybe she isn´t sure about us and is waiting to meet someone new. See if it works with someone else.

Oh God… you are a coward!

I am not!

Yes,yes, you are! What wouldn´t I give to have another chance with Derek like the one you are just letting past right in front of you. Don´t think you have forever, Callie, because one day you wake up and time has taken everything from you. You don´t want to keep wasting time, Torres, believe me. – Meredith said, trying to convince her friend to jump into the pool. She was pretty sure it was full. Mer and Arizona weren´t friends but she has known her for long. She sees the difference between the Arizona of today and the Arizona of yesterday. She looks different, she acts differently. If she could, she´d be probably skating around the hospital again. She has that cheerful spirit again. The one Meredith hates but that shows how happy the fetal surgeon has been lately. And that can´t just be a coincidence with Callie being back.

You know what? You´re right. Today is the day I ask my ex wife to go out on a date with me. End of the story. If she says yes I´ll know she´s up to it and if not, well, I´ll probably be crying for the rest of the year but at least I know this is it and stop feeding my heart with hope.

She´ll say yes, Callie. Believe me.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.

Arizona was writing down some data about her patients in a computer when Eliza walked past her in the Peds floor.

Hey! How is the kid? - The blonde asked the brunette. They had been treating a patient together earlier.

He is fine- She answered and turned around to walk away but suddenly stopped. She approached Arizona with determination.

I like girls- She said, looking straight into the blonde´s eyes.

What? Oh… okay- The fetal surgeon said with indifference.

I mean… I feel like you can´t tell or something… That I like women? That I am flirting with you? You are not getting it and I´m really good at this, I have game! Which means either you are not into women and the whole world is upside down bonkers, because I know or-

I am. – The blonde cut her off.- I am a human rainbow. And, yes, you´ve got a lot of game. I´m just not interested. – She finally said and went to the nurse station to keep going on a tablet. The brunette followed her.

Come on! Give me a chance. Let´s go for drinks tonight- She said with a huge smile.

Callie was walking throw the Ped´s ward, looking for her ex -wife, ready to ask the big question. She got to see the back of the blonde and went to there. She finally made out the entire picture and saw her talking with Eliza. She breathed deeply and kept going to them. Untill she stopped in her track, frozen. She caught the tail of the conversation. Let´s go for drinks tonight. None of the women noticed her so they continued the conversation.

Thanks, but no- Arizona replied to Eliza´s offer.

Well, if you change your mind you know where to find me- She said, smiling and passing by Callie who was still there with a horrified face.

You should say yes - Callie unexpectedly said, making Arizona turned around to face her.

Callie? - Arizona exclaimed, surprised to see her there.

Go… date her. – She didn´t know why on earth she was saying that. Her heart sored with every word she pronounced, telling her to stop the non-sense, but her mouth wouldn't shut up.

Are you serious? - Arizona asked in disbelief. She couldn´t believe her ears.

I mean, why not, right? - Callie said with a hysterical laugh. She never stopped looking into blue orbs. She noticed Arizona confusion and instead of back off she kept the crap going on. - You are single, she is hot, yeah go go on a date with her.- She repeated.

Arizona´s mouth opened and closed twice before she could say anything. Was Callie really telling her to date another woman? Has she truly deluded herself all this time about their relationship? Could be she be so wrong about Callie´s feelings? – I thought…- she started. Callie´s heart was pounding in her chest harder every second as giving her a sign of the stupidity she was doing. Arizona was bewildered for Callie´s words. The brunette could see the disappointment and the hurt in those cerulean eyes and, for a moment, it seemed like she realized what she was doing and tried to retract herself but it was late.

You know what? – Arizona said with a harsh tone.- I´ll go. I don´t know what I was thinking. Thank you, Calliope, for clarified my doubts- Anger was clear in her voice. She turned around and followed the path Eliza had taken minutes ago. Callie´s words were a punch on the face. She had talked to Joanne earlier that day and promised her she would stop being so scared and will ask Callie out on a date. And here she was, the woman she thought felt the same way telling her to go on a date with someone else. She felt her heart ache and with that a wave of mix feelings. Anger, disappointment and regret. Regret for letting herself think Callie still wanted her as much as she wanted her. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. She repeated in her mind while going to her office.

Callie stood there for a moment unable to move. How could she be such an idiot!

.-.-.-.-.-.

She said no!- Callie yelled at Meredith, getting into the blonde´s office again.

Really? - She said, surprised. She would´ve bet on Arizona saying yes.

To Eliza!, She said no to Eliza.- Callie started pacing, looking at the floor and agitating her hands.

I´m not following- The general doctor stated, confused, letting the charts she was filling aside and paying attention to her friend.

I went to see her, and there Minnick was, asking her out! She beat me to it.! And Arizona said she wasn´t interested!- Callie´s voice showed so much anger than Meredith found herself completely lost.

And you are angry because…?

I told her to say yes!- Callie stopped pacing and covered her face with her two hands.

You what?

I encouraged her to date Minnick! Go date her, I told her! Can you believe me?

Oh well, you got completely out of your mind! Why would you do that?

I don´t know! I was caught off guard. I didn´t expect to hear that. And then I just got cold feet. I mean… why will Arizona want to date me if she can date Eliza? She is hot, and smart, and interesting and new. She is a new face. No history behi-

Callie! Stop the stupid reverie and go right your wrongs! – Meredith said heatedly. Her friend was being such a fool! Callie looked at the door, then back to Meredith and nodded. In a minute she was in Ped´s floor again.

Have you seen Dr. Robbins?- She asked a resident.

I saw her two minutes ago going to her office- And with that, Callie made her way there. She stood in front of Arizona´s door for a second. She took a deep breath and knocked.

Come in- The blonde answered from inside.

It´s me- Callie said, opening the door and poked her head round it- Can we talk? Please? - She said, mostly begging. The blonde made a move with her hand for her to come in. She stood up from her chair behind her desk and went to stand in front of Callie.

I…- the brunette started- I´m sorry. I´m an idiot- She said sighing and Arizona raised her eyebrows and nodded.

Yes, you are.- She said, it sounded harder than she meant it, but she didn´t backtrack, she was too mad with Callie right now.- You have misled me, Callie. All this time I thou-

No, I haven´t! - Callie yelled. She didn´t want Arizona to think she had gotten anything wrong, because if there were something true and real in the world were her feelings for the blonde.

Yes, you have!- Arizona was getting heated with the conversation.- I thought we were going somewhere! I mean… we didn´t actually talk about it but we know each other! Or that´s what I thought! We´ve been flirting, we´ve been getting close and and-

Arizona…- Callie was getting closer to her but the blonde wasn´t listening to her. Arizona was overwhelmed by the situation. She was so ready to make a move and Callie came out with all this and now she was pretty lost.

and I thought, I was so sure you were feeling the same way and then you just throw me into another woman´s arms and now I´m not-

Arizona, Will you pl- Callie repeated, taking a step closer while the blonde took a step back.

Don´t, Callie, just… It´s okay. You know? It is my fault! You actually didn´t say anything, it was all in my mind. I made up all this and I- The blonde wouldn´t stop talking and so Callie did the only thing she thought could make her stop. She took the two steps that separated them and put both her hands in Arizona´s face, holding her so the only place the blonde could look at was right into Callie´s eyes.

Just, shut up, please- Callie said smiling and with that, she closed the gap that was between them. Red lips were touching pinks after four years. They had been craving for this for so long, their hearts pounding in their chest at the same rhythm. Callie thought Arizona was going to break the kiss right away but she didn´t. Instead, the blonde deepen the kiss. She parted her lips trying to get access into Callie´s mouth who give it to her easily. The brunette´s hands had gone from Arizona´s cheeks to her waist, holding her tight. She didn´t want to let her go. When Arizona met Callie´s tongue she felt a shiver going down her spine, she wanted Callie so badly. The kiss started to heat, Arizona hands were all over Callie, like she was trying to recognize that body she had missed so much. The brunette felt electricity jolting through her veins with every touch. They kept kissing until they finally sought for some air.

Callie rested her forehead in Arizona´s, and when she opened her eyes she found those beautiful blue eyes staring at her.

You are crazy- Arizona said, her lips curling up in a smile.

I am- Callie replied- I´m crazy about you, Arizona.

And I´m crazy about you, too, Calliope.
