Thanks for your reviews for last chapter. Your feedback motivates me to go with the story. Let me know what you like/dislike…

I will update once in a week (sometimes may be twice, if the school spares me enough time), but I loved your feedback so much that I was almost bound to update the second chapter ahead of my plan. Thanks to those who left reviews.

By the way, I have a feeling that Shonda separated CalZona just to bring them back. They needed space from each other to heal and fall in love once again. And this time they can marry legally too. So, I will continue with this story with a hope that both the pretty ladies find their ways to each other soon.

Chapter 2

Arizona is trying to finish the paperwork quickly, as she has planned a dinner with Simi. Today she will tell Simi about her and Callie. Simi seems to be a nice girl. Even though Arizona has used Simi for making Callie Jealous, Simi sounds to be understanding. After Teddy, Simi sounds like a friend to Arizona. They could not meet for last few days, but they kept talking over phone. As Arizona is about the get up quickly closing the file to catch the dinner, she hears a knock on the door. She growls irritated, "come in". Callie pops up from the other side of the door and gives her best smile. Oh! God, this is not the time Calliope… not now. "You need something? I was about to leave", She gets up from the chair and starts picking her purse. "Hmm, yeah- I was wondering if we could talk about Sophia's birthday", Callie almost chokes while telling this. Sophia's birthday? It is after two months. Arizona realizes that Callie actually has nothing to talk about. She could have played with this, but right now she has to go.

-"okay, can we talk tomorrow about this, I really have to go".

-"Where are you going? You now do not have time for our daughter, right?".

Mentioning of our daughter forms a sort of bitterness in Arizona. Although they are co-parenting Sophia, Callie never has mentioned Sophia as our daughter for last two years. She swallows the forming pride in her throat. Bringing back a perky smile she says, "we will talk about our daughter tomorrow" and leaves her office leaving Callie standing in the middle of her office.

She must have a date with that woman. That is why she is so happy. I should not have come here. Although she just wanted to see Arizona before leaving the hospital. Next two days are her off days and she cannot meet her ex-wife. Suddenly, Callie feels so defeated- there was a time when she did not have to do anything even to touch Arizona. And today she has to take permission even only to talk to her. She even does not have the right to know where this perky woman has gone.

-"so, now you know about me and her", Arizona leaves a long breath after telling everything about her relationship with Callie. "You know I never open up with anybody so quickly, not even with Callie, but with you I just feel that I can tell you".

-"I guess you two are meant for each other and I am happy that you feel good with me", Simi winks and adds, "I also felt good when you kissed me".

-"Oh! I am sorry about that…I should not have done that. I was so mean, but at that time I could not think anything else except Callie", Arizona really gives a sorry look.

-"okay, now that we are friends, tell me what I have to do to help you".

-"you just have to pretend that you are interested in me and we are dating".

-"I think I can do this and I do not need to pretend also", Simi raises her left eye brow and gives a smile.

Callie also does this. While telling something mischievous, she would always raise her eye-brows. Simi touches on Arizona's arm to wake her up from her thoughts. "Okay, let's start it", Arizona seals the deal with a handshake.

"Call Dr. Torres to see if she could do anything for Mike", Arizona knows that if anybody can fix the knee of this 12 years kid, then this is Callie. "But, today is her off day, should I page her?", asks the nurse. Callie must be tired but this can't wait. "Yes, page her", she replies and goes on with her routine round.

Callie comes to the hospital to check Mike and she decides to do surgery on the boy. This is the only way. She books the emergency OR for the evening and asks the nurse to inform Dr. Robbins. Somehow she is feeling excited with the fact that she and Arizona will be in the same OR. Why is she feeling so giddy? They have worked before also. She shakes the head with a hope that the new found butterflies in her stomach will go away. She felt the same when she started dating a perky blond years before. The old butterflies have come back to her, which she has not experienced after breaking up with Arizona.

After the surgery, when both Callie and Arizona starts moving towards the coffee cart, Arizona receives a call and runs back towards the ER. Not knowing anything, Callie also runs after her if something bad has happened. Both of them find Simi sitting on the gurney, apparently slightly bleeding from the forehead.

-"what happened, Simi", Arizona rushes towards her with a worried face.

-"she has cut her forehead, this is a scratch only", Callie says making a sarcastic face.

-Simi smiles at Callie and holds Arizona's hands, "I fell from the stairs".

-"you must have been busy in looking at something which is not yours", Callie interjected.

-"Excuse me", Simi annoyingly says to Callie and turns to Arizona, "why is she always there?".

-"Callie please, stop it now, she is hurt", Arizona genuinely says.

Callie keeps standing there although she has nothing to do. But, apparently she cannot convince herself to go away also, when this annoying other woman is hitting her Arizona, even though she is bleeding. Is she really bleeding? Callie feels an urge to check whether this is real blood. She starts laughing at her own thought. Hearing her laughter, Arizona gives her a glare and she stops. This glare always works on me, even after years.

-"hey now you are fit and fine to go home", Arizona pats Simi's arms after putting the final bandage on her head.

-"I would be fit, if somebody could offer a cup of coffee"

-"okay, let's go to the cafeteria", she then turns to Callie and says, "thanks Callie for coming on an off day, you may go home now, I will page you if Mike needs something".

Is she asking me to leave so that they can go on a quickie coffee data? Arizona even does not bother to ask me! "Oh! You want me to go, but I also need coffee". Arizona gives a genuine smile, "yes, we were about to have them, okay let's go together". Finding that Arizona is okay if she goes with them, Callie starts feeling good. Probably Arizona is not that interested in this woman. Then she notices that Simi laces her fingers with Arizona's while walking towards the Café. I wish, I would have a brick to crack the head open of this annoying Simi, Callie cannot decide if she will kill Simi right now or after the coffee!

Leaning on Arizona, Simi whispers, "my God, she would kill me only by her glares. I need to hire two body guards to protect myself from your Calliope". Arizona laughs and lightly slaps on Simi's shoulder, "no, she is not that bad". "Ya, I can feel the burning eyes on me", Simi says with a chuckle and adds, "she is hot, you know". Arizona does not reply, who knows better than me, I have been into this hot woman as long as I remember for last couple of years.

Callie watches the entire scene from back, although she does not know what they are talking. I think I should start carrying bricks with me or maybe I can hire mafia to abduct this woman.

Just as hree of them enter into the cafeteria, Penny wraps Callie from the back and Callie jumps out with a loud sound. Turning back, Arizona finds Callie wrapped by Penny from the back. Before she could react, Simi drags her towards the coffee machine and whispers, "do not show any sign of attention". Yes Arizona can do this; this is what she has been doing for last few months. Taking the coffee, both Simi and Arizona sit choosing a table in the corner. On the other hand, Callie also takes another table near to them with Penny.

Callie is feeling so disgusted and guilty. For last two/three days, she almost has forgotten about her girlfriend. But now sitting here with her girlfriend while watching Arizona with her would be girlfriend, Callie suddenly realizes that for Penny or anybody else, she never had butterflies in her stomach. Even when she thought that she did not care about Arizona, she kept checking on her, if she was okay. "Callie, you know Meredith is…", before Penny could finish, Callie almost snaps at her, "aha!, please do not start again about your problem with Dr. grey, I have things to take care. I cannot be your protector every time". Penny feels as if somebody has punched on her face. Callie immediately feels terrible about being such a bitch towards this woman. She wants to say sorry, but then from the corner of her eye she notices Simi's advances towards Arizona and she almost jumps out of the seat-rushing towards their table.

-"I told you…one movement towards you and your ex-wife would run towards us", before Simi could finish, Callie is there in front of them. She grabs Arizona holding her arm, "let's go".

-"Callie- ?"

-"I need to discuss something with you, if you do not want to create a scene here, just come with me"

Arizona realizes that Callie will not stop here. She knows how mad she could be sometimes. She does not think before doing anything. But she never thought that Callie would behave like this especially when Penny is there- Penny is staring them like a fool. Not only Penny, some other people are starting too. Such an embarrassment. "okay, Simi, call me and take care of yourself, if there is any problem, just call me".

Both of them prefer to keep quite till they have reached Arizona's office.

-"Callie"

-"I am sorry that I behaved like a fool, but I really need to know something"- Callie watches Arizona to read her expression, but she seems to be very calm, as if she knows what is coming. She continues, "do you really like that woman?"

-"I never asked you about Penny".

-"Probably you do not care, but I need to know if you are dating a right person or not"-Callie huffs wisely.

-"so, this is the conversation for what you were about to create a scene?"-Arizona nods her head amusingly and Callie scratches her neck. This is typical Callie; she does this when she is nervous.

Suddenly Arizona saw that. How has she never noticed that earlier? The locket, which they bought for each other on a Valentine's day- O God, Callie is still wearing them. Arizona's eyes are literally about to come out. Following Arizona's eyes, Callie immediately knows what she is looking at. "you are still wearing this!" is what Arizona manages to say.

Callie in fact has never taken off this necklace. Putting of her marriage band was easy, but not this necklace. She never even thought to take it away from herself. Somehow unconsciously, she has kept this with her-close to herself and she has always successfully convinced herself that this is just an innocent locket and nothing else. But deep inside her heart, she always has known. Suddenly the tall woman feels so exposed in front of the other woman. "You know I have to pick Sophia, I will talk to you later", saying this she quickly leaves.

Arizona could feel a sharp pain in her heart. Her both eyes are welled up and she does not stop them. She touched her empty neck- She took off the chain last year, when she could not handle seeing this symbol of her failed marriage anymore. But, Callie is wearing them. She laughs at herself, earlier when they were together she never failed noticing even a small mark on Callie, and now she even does not notice what the other woman is wearing. Thank you Callie for not letting it go… you did not throw me out of your life completely.

ALL MISTAKES ARE MINE AND PLEASE BE TOLERANT WITH ME.
