A/N : I am sorry guy, it has been a while. Thanks for coming back and continue to read this story.
This chapter was written before 10x15 (my gosh, what an episode) Like a lot of you, I'm still having it on repeat mode ;-) And there's another thing I found from this episode – I really dislike Leah Murphy. I found her 10 times more annoying than April in S6. If I watched 10x15 before I finished this chapter, I may make Murphy choked on her beer and dropped dead on the ground covered with peanut shells… Maybe later.
Once again, I have to thank my super beta calzonaforever35 for this amazing work, girl, you are amazing!
Chapter 38
"Dr. Robbins, Here's the lab results."
"Thank you Dr. Murphy." Arizona read the lab results and the scans with a deep furrow, and it didn't look good. "Dammit! The tumor has almost taken up his whole kidney."
"Is there anything we can do?" Leah leaned closer to the attending. Her head was almost touching the blonde's head, as she was trying to read the scan along with her. As Arizona pointed a finger on the film.
"You see here? It has spread to the liver already." She shook her head and sighed heavily. "Sometimes I just hate my job. Ugh! I need a drink."
Leah stood next to the superior surgeon with her lips bit into a thin line. The butterflies in her stomach were fluttering like crazy.
This week she'd been assigned to peds 3 times, and 2 out of those 3 times she worked with the pretty attending. The more time she spent with Dr. Robbins, the more she found herself drawn to this funny, caring, talented and oh so beautiful woman.
And maybe Dr. Robbins felt the same too, would she? She always smiled when Leah was around. Not just any smile, it was the big smile that made her cute dimples show; and the time she spent teaching Leah, explaining everything so thorough… None of the other attendings or residents ever took that much time teaching an intern. The only explanation was Arizona liked her too.
And now Dr. Robbins was talking about wanting to have a drink, was that a hint given to Leah that Dr. Robbins was up for a drink... An outting together?
Still standing next to the blonde doctor watching her sketch on the note, Leah was once again, drowning in her self-complacence.
"I'll schedule an exploratory surgery tomorrow morning, but I'm off tomorrow so Dr. Karev will do it. In the meantime, pass these to radiology, and ask them to come up with a plan for the patient." Arizona finished the notes and handed them to the awaiting intern, but it seemed Leah's mind was elsewhere. "Dr. Murphy?"
"Oh sorry, Dr. Robbins. I'll go to radiology now." Leah blushed, took the notes and clasped them against her chest tightly.
"Great work today, Murphy." The attending gave the intern a smile of appreciated the work of the day, and then turned around to leave. But Leah called after her.
"Dr. Robbins." Leah decided to take the chance, what did have to lose, right? "Me and the other interns are going to the pub across the street for a drink tonight, you know, to celebrate the end of our first week. Do you… I mean, you're more than welcome to join us. I mean, you need a drink, obviously."
"It sounds fun. Yeah, I'll be there." Arizona gave the intern a dimpled smile that absolutely reached her sparkling blue eyes, and then retreated toward her office, hoping to finish her work in time.
Stunned by the beaming smile once again, Leah squeaked inside her head. After a small dance to herself, she ran toward radiology with a little pep in her step.
What she didn't know, was that Dr. Robbins was going to be in the pub across the street for sure, but wasn't going to see her.
"Hi blondie." Mark entered Arizona's office after a knock, he pushed the door opened not even waiting for an answer. "Are we still on tonight?"
"Yes of course, it's Callie's first free night in a week." Arizona looked up from the papers she was gathering up. "We're sure going to have some fun tonight."
"You're leaving already? I still have a surgery, it may take 2 hours. And Teddy is still in her surgery."
"Callie got off at 8 this morning and is probably still sleeping. I just have to go home to wake her up. I'll see you later at the pub?" The blonde pushed the man out of the office and then closed the door behind her. She couldn't wait to see her sleeping beauty.
The apartment was quiet. Quickly putting her bag and coat on the couch, Arizona stepped in the bedroom and found Callie wrapped in the warmth of the blanket, and soft snores coming out of her.
Arizona kicked off her shoes and slipped under the blanket, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend from behind, then she leaned forward to place a soft kiss on Callie's cheek. She just couldn't hold back a chuckle when her cold nose nuzzled up against the brunette's smooth neck, making the unconscious woman mumble.
"Wake up, pretty lady." Arizona sang in Callie's ear. The Latina groaned again, but replaced it by a smile when Arizona pulled their bodies closer, and slowly kissed along her neck.
"Um… what time is it?" Callie sighed out. It had been a while since she had been awoken by her girlfriend in bed. She almost forgot how comfortable it was to cuddle with the woman she loved.
"A little after 6." Arizona buried her nose in the raven hair and breathed in deeply. She also missed having the curvy body in her arms.
"I changed my mind. Let's stay in bed." Callie turned around, snuggled against Arizona's chest, and wrapped her arms around the blonde's torso. Their legs entwined instantly.
"It sounds tempting, but you promised to have drinks with Mark and Teddy tonight, and your intern friends are going to be there too." Arizona cooed, and her hands were rubbing the olive skin under the clothes tenderly. Callie groaned to protest, and her eyes were still closed.
"But I wanna stay in bed, with you. I don't want to get up."
"Are you sure? You seem to like your new friends very much." Arizona pinched Callie's hip lightly, making the brunette jerk. "You even take the fall for them."
Callie lifted her head and stared at her girlfriend through her sleepy eyes. Arizona just looked at her innocently.
"Arizona..." Callie sighed. "Jo didn't mean it. The girl was crying, and you know those pair of eyes made it look extra sad. She just wanted to sooth Sarah."
"That I understand, what I don't understand was why you had to admit it was your fault when it wasn't. I had to hear that from Alex after Jo confessed to him today." Arizona pouted, and propped her head up by her elbow waiting for an answer. "You didn't even come clean to me. I thought you forgot what I told you. We talked about it multiple times, not to tell patient information when you shouldn't. I told you the time Alex told a patient's father his baby was effected by his meth cooking business, he got punched in the face and the hospital went into a code pink."
"Of course I remember everything you told me." Callie put a hand on the fair face and stroked it gently trying to smooth the pout. But Arizona just pursed her lips harder. "Jo was panicking. She thought she would be fired from that. I just thought... I could help her out with that.
"So you weren't afraid you'd get fired?" Arizona looked at her with wide eyes.
"I didn't really think about it. I just wanted to help her at that time." Callie smiled sheepishly, still looking at the blue eyes.
Of course Arizona knew it, this was one of the reasons why she loved Callie so much. Callie had a big heart and she liked to help everyone when she could, but still, taking the blame for someone else when she was still trying to find her footing in a new job was risky.
"Right, you wanted to help a pretty girl, even though you know your own girlfriend wouldn't be happy about it." Arizona rolled her eyes, and then pulled away from Callie. But she couldn't move an inch because Callie had her arms wrapped around the blonde's waist instantly.
"It wasn't like that. When I was in the room, I didn't see it as my girlfriend and my best friend in the room. I was facing two of my bosses in there and I just wanted to help my colleague. I don't think Jo is pretty." Callie nudged the blonde on to her back and then rolled on top of her. She propped herself up by her elbows, and looked deeply at the pouting blonde sincerely. "There has no one prettier than my girlfriend."
"Yeah, right." Arizona looked away, but there was a small smirk playing in the corner of her lips.
"You don't believe me?" Callie raised her eyebrows, but Arizona still refused to look at her. "Didn't you know I keep you around just because you are the prettiest woman I've ever met?"
"Hey!" Arizona slapped her shoulder playfully, Callie chuckled and leaned down to peck the pink lips.
"I like you because you're so pretty." Callie breathed out against Arizona's lips, then leaned forward again for a deeper kiss. "I love you because you are generous, caring, sweet and lovely. I'm so lucky to have found a wonderful girlfriend who has the whole package."
"Sweet talker." Arizona brought her hand up to fondle with Callie's messy bed hair. This was heaven. Arizona knew she wouldn't mind spending time with her love in bed like this for the rest of the night. But she also wanted to drag the woman out. "We need to go out. You live between here and the hospital, it's not healthy. So get up, make yourself presentable and I'm going to take you out."
"It's still early. How about having a little time for just you and me first?" Callie ground her hips and kissed her girlfriend once again passionately. Arizona happily parted her lips to let Callie's tongue slip through it. They both moaned into the kiss and loss themselves in each other.
The little time turned into a two hours of passionate love making, and neither of them complained about it. Finally, the two made it to The Horizon hand in hand. After a wave hello to Joe, the couple walked toward the table that was occupied by Mark, Teddy, Derek, and Bailey.
"Well, it's really rude for being late to your party, you know?" Mark grinned to his friends as soon as the two came close to them. "You shouldn't make your friends wait."
"Well, after being such a jerk to me, I don't think I should consider you my friend, Dr. Sloan." Mark held out a hand wanted to wrap around his best friend, but Callie turned and stood between Teddy and Bailey on the other side of the table instead; and Arizona smirked behind the man.
"Oh come on, Torres. Don't tell me you're holding a grudge about that. You're an intern. It's your job to make the attending happy." Mark swiveled his head and asked for some support from his other best friend. But Arizona just rolled her eyes and patted on the man's shoulder.
"What are you two talking about?" Bailey asked. She glanced between everyone at the table who all wore knowing smiles. She hated it when something happened that she didn't know about.
"You haven't heard? Mark made the interns run around for his coffee, sandwiches and dry cleaning." Teddy gave a look of disgust to the man, and then picked up her glass for a sip. However, it couldn't reach her throat as she spluttered it all over the table while Bailey smacked the back of Mark's head, making him screech in pain.
"Speaking of interns," Callie spotted her peers in the far end of the pub near to the dart board, "I should go say hello to them. Be right back."
"I'll go get you a drink." Arizona patted on Callie's back and then walked the opposite direction toward the bar for their drink order. But Callie called after her.
"Hey Arizona, tell Joe that from now on, Dr. Sloan is going to service himself in here. If he wants a drink, go get it himself."
"You can't do that!" Mark exclaimed with widened eyes, looked between his two best friends. "I'm a customer in here."
"Oh right, I should serve my paying customer..." Callie nodded slowly, everyone on the table just gazed at Mark with a smirk, watching him walk right into it. "But you never pay. So I'm reserving my right. You're not going to get another drink in my pub until you settle the tab."
"You won't do that..." Mark narrowed his eyes, ignoring the increasing snicker around him.
"Try me." The pub owner shrugged and then looked over at her girlfriend. Arizona gave her a wink happily and skipped toward the bar.
"Hey guys." Callie approached the table, where Jo, Stephanie and Shane were engaging in some sort of conversation. Next to the table, Leah and Heather were playing darts.
"Oh Callie you're here. I thought you were bailing on us. I owe you a drink." Jo wrapped her arm around the tall brunette's shoulder who was standing next to her. She was still grateful for Callie taking the fault for her, made sure everyone of the interns knew about this and that was one of the reasons they decided to go out tonight.
"That's fine, you don't have to." Callie waved her hand, and then sat on one of the abandoned barstools. Heather noticed her arrival, linked her arm with Leah's and pulled her to join the table again.
"Hey, did you come in with Dr. Robbins?" Stephanie asked. She sat facing the door but she took off the glasses since her head was spinning from too much beer. All she could see was Callie entering with a blonde woman that looked a lot like Dr. Robbins, but she missed the more than friendliness touching between the two women.
"Yeah… There's something I have to tell you guys…" Callie was about to tell her new friends about her intimate relationship with Arizona, but she was interrupted by Leah.
"Dr. Robbins's here already?" She looked around and found the pretty blonde doctor standing by the bar talking to the bartender. "I invited her to come tonight, I'm going to offer her a drink… you know, for being such a good teacher to me."
"Leah…" Jo tried to stop her, but Leah was already on her way toward the bar.
"What was that about?" Callie watched Leah stride away with a smile, Jo just shrugged.
"Well, Leah has a thing for Robbins, and she's going to make a move tonight."
"What?" Callie turned her head back to stare at Jo with wide-eyes, tossing her long black hair aside that revealed her cleavage under the purple V-neck sweater. Shane's small eyes went wide, but there was something between the valley that caught Stephanie's attention.
"Nice necklace, Callie." Stephanie squinted. She put her glasses back on to look clear to the pendant. "I think I saw it somewhere lately. I like it, it's simple and elegant."
Everyone stared at Callie's chest as Stephanie was talking, but the man blushed and diverted his gaze elsewhere when he caught Callie's eyes while the woman looked between the interns at the table.
"Yeah, I saw that too…" Jo leaned closer to look at the pendant, and her eyebrows raise up slowly. "Dr. Robbins has the same necklace."
"Well, that's what I wanna tell you guys." Callie picked up the pendant by her finger tips and played with it unceremoniously. "Arizona… Dr. Robbins and I are in a relationship. We've been together long before I started to work in the hospital."
"You're sex on a stick?" Heather blurted out, making the brunette smile embarrassingly.
The four interns at the table stared at Callie with their mouths agape, and then they all turned their gaze to the bar where Leah was standing next to the attending.
"Hey Dr. Robbins, you're here." Leah sang happily. Arizona turned to give her a polite smile.
"Oh hi, Dr. Murphy."
"You can call me Leah. We're not at work now. Can I call you Arizona?" The intern tried to pull up her best seductive smile toward the attending, but Arizona just blinked.
"Uh... Sure."
"Ok, Arizona." Leah smiled lovingly. She leaned closer to the blonde. "I invited you here tonight, so let me buy you a drink. What are you going to have?"
It was like there was a cue from somewhere, and Joe chose this time to come back and place a Manhattan and a rum & coke in front of Arizona.
"That's fine, Leah. I was going to come tonight anyway. I'm here with my girlfriend and a group of friends." Arizona tilted her head toward the table of attendings not so far away from the bar. "Thanks for the offer anyway."
Leah looked over to that direction. She found that there was a whole table of her bosses in there, and the women on the table were Bailey and Teddy...
"You are dating Dr. Altman?" Leah gasped.
"Oh, no no. Not Dr. Altman. She just... went to talk to her friends. Jeez, not Altman." Arizona laughed with her dimples showing. She picked up her drinks and started to walk away from the dirty blonde haired woman. "Nice talking to you. Have a nice evening, Leah."
Leah hung her head low returning to the table of her friends, everyone just stared at her. She looked around the other interns and pursed her lips.
"Arizona said her girlfriend's here. I think that's why she doesn't dare to flirt with me." Leah said, picked up her beer bottle and took a sip.
"Leah…" Callie reached out and put her hand on Leah's arm across the table. "Please listen to me…"
"I know, I know." Leah waved her free hand and interrupted her peer. "She's an attending, she has a girlfriend, blah blah blah... but I really think we have a connection, you know? Now we're on a first name basis. I'm sure she likes me."
"You think you have a connection with Dr. Robbins?" Stephanie asked, and looked between Callie and Leah to see their reactions. The dirty blonde nodded eagerly, and the brunette just sat there biting her lips.
"Yes. She smiled at me the whole time, and she took her time teaching me… we have been with different attendings and residents in this week, no one would spend that much time to…"
"That's her. Arizona smiles a lot. At patients, at colleagues, even at the waitresses in restaurants." Callie cut in nervously. She had confessed her relationship with the head of peds with the closest intern friends she had, who were at the table with her right now. But they hadn't given her any responses yet. She knew it wouldn't be easy for them to accept it… She didn't need these people to accept her relationship with Arizona. However, she didn't want them to think she was going to have special treatment because of it; And now, now she needed to deal with Leah, who really thought she had a shot with her girlfriend… well, Leah didn't know Callie was the mystery girlfriend yet.
"Her girlfriend's here, I really want to see what she looks like." Leah stuck her head out trying to peek over the big boys table. Right now, she still could only see Bailey and Teddy there. "I doubt it if that woman is as hot as you've heard, Jo."
"Well..." Jo glanced at Callie, who was rubbing her face with both hands. "She... Um..."
"It's me, Leah. I'm Arizona's girlfriend." Callie sighed out after a deep breath.
Leah swiveled to gaze at Callie with a dull face, and pulled her hand away which was covered by the olive colored hand. She just stared at Callie.
"I know I should have told you all in the beginning but... I just didn't know what you were going to think." Callie signed again, and leaned back to look between everyone on the table. "You know, an intern who's in a relationship with an attending."
Callie was waiting for her peers to answer her, but a loud noise coming from the bar interrupted everyone. They all looked over to the bar, several people already rushed over there.
"Joe, are you alright?" Someone shouted.
Callie shot up from the stool and ran to there. She found Derek kneeling next to Joe, and Teddy was checking the big man's head.
"What happened?" Callie pushed through the crowd to get closer to the bar, gazing at her friend who collapsed on the floor. Mark answered with worry in his voice.
"He was pouring a beer, and suddenly fell on the ground.
"We have to get him to the hospital." Teddy nodded to Derek. He already pulled out a phone to call for help.
"Is it bad?" Callie asked again, Teddy looked up and shook her head.
"I don't know. But he collapsed, we really should take him in for some tests."
"No, I'm fine." Joe tried to sit up, but Derek pushed him back down gently. "Derek, I'm ok, just a little lightheaded."
"No, Joe, you're going to the hospital. You need to get checked out." The neuro surgeon instructed firmly.
"I can't go. I'm the only bartender tonight, Lucy is not coming in." Joe looked between the doctors around him, but Callie cut him off.
"I'm here, I'll take care of it, don't worry about the pub." Callie ran around the bar and kneeled next to her employee. She took Joe's hand in hers. "You go to make sure you're ok. I'll call Walter."
Soon the ambulance arrived and the people wheeled Joe out with a gurney. Callie pulled up her sleeves and started to serve the customers behind the bar. She hadn't been working in the pub for a while, but after years of experience, bartending for her was just like riding a bicycle. She quickly passed the drinks to April and Reed to keep the place running.
Callie was busy shaking the mixer, out of the corner of her eye she found her girlfriend walked around the bar, rolled up her sleeves and checked the order sheets.
"Honey, what are you doing?" Callie asked in surprise, but didn't slow down her hands.
"Helping. It seems like you need it." Arizona shrugged while she picked up a glass, starting to pour beer from the tap.
"You don't have to, and you don't know anything about bartending," The brunette said as she put a twist in the drink she just mixed.
"Well, do you not remember I helped before? Unless you want Cristina, but she went back to the hospital with Teddy." Arizona answered, she stuck her tongue out a little, concentrating on pouring a perfect glass of beer. However, just like the first time, it was a full glass of foam.
Callie laughed out with her head shaking from side to side slowly. She took the glass from the blonde, emptied it into the sink and then stood right behind her girlfriend. She stuck her arms out under Arizona's armpits, rested her head on the shorter woman's shoulder and taught her how it worked.
"You have to tilt the glass like this. Otherwise, you're just wasting my beer, like the last time." She pressed her front into Arizona's back and the both looked at the glass slowly filled with dark yellow liquid with a proper portion of foam.
"Ok ok, I got it." Arizona rolled her eyes, picked up another glass to pour another one within Callie's arm. This time, she did it right. Even though it was a little bit too full and the foam spit out of the glass, but it was a presentable beverage.
Callie was proud. She kissed the beaming blonde on the cheek from behind and then slid to the other side to complete another drink order.
The two worked as a team. Callie was in charge of cocktails and hard liquor and Arizona was busy pouring tap foam/beer, getting bottle beer from the fridge, and pouring wine into glasses.
"Arizona, I've told you, you don't have to fill up the wine glass. 2/3 is enough." Callie glanced to the side and found her temporary help once again, poured the white wine to the top of the glass.
"Why not?" Arizona asked innocently, of course she knew the normal portion of a glass of wine, but she just wanted to tease her girlfriend. "You topped the beer, wine should be the same."
"No, it's not." Callie put a hand on her hip and stared at the blonde. "I'm losing money from it."
"Oh Calliope, lighten up. This one is for Teddy." Arizona quickly passed the drink on the counter and gestured Reed to deliver it with a dimpled smile. She stepped closer to the pub owner with her smile still on. "And actually, when you offered more to the customers, they are happy with it and will come back for more. You know it."
They stood in front of each other with just a few inches between them. Arizona knew it too well that Callie couldn't get mad at her with the dimpled smile. As usual, Callie gave in, leaned forward to peck on the pink lips and sighed out.
"You're going to pay for it."
"Happy to." Arizona smiled deeper, returned a quick kiss and then went back to her beer duty.
"Why is Callie bartending?" Leah asked. The interns were still digesting the news about their peer dating their boss. They weren't able to react to it since Callie ran to tend the bar after Joe fell down and rolled away.
"Maybe she was working in here before she got into the internship program at the hospital?" Stephanie said. She had her head propped up by the elbow and staring at Callie and Arizona laughing and nudging each other behind the bar.
"Great, an old age bartender got into the top internship program on this side of the country." Leah smirked, said between her teeth. "I'm sure she got in because she was sleeping with the head of a department."
"Come on, Leah, let it go, and she is not that old." Jo turned her gaze from the bar to her colleague. "I'm sure Callie got into the program because she's capable. She delivered a baby in the ER. She could do a better suture than anyone of us. If she is taking advantage with her relationship with Dr. Robbins, she would be in every surgery, not working in the pit or the clinic, or running labs for Sloan."
"Oh shut up." Leah rolled her eyes and finished up her beer. "She took one stupid fault for you and you're on her side. I bet she did that because she knew Robbins and Sloan weren't going to do anything to her."
"Callie doesn't seem like that kind of person." Jo frowned, she really disliked this bitter Leah. "If so, she doesn't have to befriend with us."
"I'm telling you, soon enough she'll be doing all the cool surgeries, and we are just going to envy her in the freaking gallery. We should hate her." Leah looked around the table, wanting her friends to agree with her. "We should hate her together. Isolate her."
Jo and Stephanie sharing a look, the way they squinted their eyes telling each other that they found Leah going nuts. Then Leah caught the look.
"Don't tell me you don't find it inappropriate. The attending is supposed to teach us equally, not date an intern in the program." Leah smacked her hand on the table, almost knocking down the beer bottles.
"Didn't you try to hook up with Dr. Robbins?" Heather asked with her eyebrows raised up. She really didn't know what the problem was, and that pissed Leah off even more.
"That was not the same." Leah purred, and she back slapped the only male intern on the shoulder for attention. "Shane, say something."
"What do you want me to say? Callie is awesome in her job, and she and Dr. Robbins look hot together." Shane shrugged. "As long as she isn't being favored, I don't see any of this is our business."
"She's a bartender, not a surgeon!" Leah exclaimed, but before she could continued, Jo cut her off.
"I waited tables in college, are you telling me I shouldn't be here too?" Jo stared at Leah. She got that Leah was jealous of Callie, but insulting someone in the service industry because it wasn't as noble as a surgeon, it was low, and wrong.
Alex just happened to pass by, Jo gripped his shoulder to stop him. "Hey Dr. Karev, do you know why Callie's there bartending?"
"Why not?" Alex looked between the interns on the table. He was a little tipsy and bummed by getting turned down by yet another nurse. Happy to be approached by a girl, he leaned forward to rest his elbows on the table. "She owns this place, she can do wherever she wants."
"She owns this pub?" Leah and Heather exclaimed in unison. Alex just nodded to confirm it.
"Super." Leah rolled her eyes again. Alex narrowed his eyes to stare at the dirty blonde with a confused look, and Heather answered for her.
"She's jealous of Callie."
"Heather!" Jo shouted at the big mouthed girl, and Leah slapped Heather's shoulder as hard as she could.
Alex looked at the girls with a smirk in his face. He walked around the table and stood behind the furious intern, who turned her gaze back to the bar found the two bartenders were sharing another kiss again.
"You know what?" Alex leaned closer and whispered into Leah's ear. "I have a cure for jealousy at home. You wanna come try it?"
The rest of the interns couldn't hear what Alex said, but they saw Leah take a deep thoughtful breath, and then stood up from the stool with her bag. Without saying a word to anyone, she walked out of the pub with Alex.
"Where are they going?" Stephanie raised her eyebrows, looked between the remaining three interns around the table.
"I think Leah is going to forget about her crush toward Dr. Robbins by sleeping with Karev." Jo said with disbelief. Stephanie and Heather nodded their heads, still looking at the door where Leah exited.
Callie glanced over the door found Leah exited with Alex, but she didn't have time to think about it because of a non-customer customer had came close to the bar.
"Hey Callie, can I have a scotch, neat?" Mark leaned against the bar top, turned up his charm to the maximum level smiling to his friend. Arizona stopped her hands and watched as Callie picked up the bottle.
"Sure." The bartender answered without missing a beat, her other hand reached for a glass. "12 bucks."
"What? Isn't it only 8 bucks?" Mark gasped. Of course he could afford a 12 dollars glass of drink, he just didn't expect Callie to really make him pay. "Fine, put it in my tab."
"It's my pub, I can charge as much as I want." Callie made a show to put the bottle of scotch back in its place. She put a hand on her hip and the other against the sink, tilted her head staring at the man with a smirk. "And don't you remember? Dr. Sloan, your tab is closed until you pay it off."
"Oh come on!" Mark threw his hands in the air. He stood up straight to stare back at the bartender, and mimicked Callie's posture with a hand on his hip. He turned to look at the blonde bartender.
"Arizona, tell this woman who spent nights sleeping on her couch when she was wallowing. Who took her in when she needed a new place to start a new life?"
"Arizona," Callie also turned to look at the other bartender, and she had to bite the corner of her lip to hide a snicker. "Ask this man, who had to run to his apartment at 6 in the morning pretending to be his wife just because his one-night-stands wouldn't leave? Who had to bail him out multi times because he was banging someone in inappropriate places? And do I need to mention that this certain someone manipulated us, almost made us miss each other?"
"You were arrested for having sex in public?" Arizona didn't even bother to hide her amused smirk. And her grin went wider when the man didn't answer, but ground his teeth glaring at the brunette.
"Seven times." Callie wriggled her eyebrows, she was pleased to reveal this information obviously hadn't been mentioned to her girlfriend before.
"Six!" Mark roared. "And they didn't charge me at all."
"But you were arrested for having sex in public…" Arizona bit her lips to suppress her grin, but when she looked at Mark again, the image of the man disheveled and handcuffed in the back of a police car made her laugh heartedly.
"Fine." Mark rolled his eyes. He pulled his credit card out of the wallet and threw it in front of the brunette bartender, since the blonde one was still holding her stomach from laughing so much. "Do whatever you want."
"Good boy." Callie smirked with satisfaction. She picked up the bottle of scotch again to pour the man a glass. But her hand stopped half way when she handed it over. "You're going to stop bullying the interns. You're going to stop making the interns run around doing your chores, and you are buying every intern in here a drink."
"Fine!" Mark snatched the glass and sat on the bar stool with a pout. "You're taking away my fun."
"Oh honey, you're going to thank me from keeping you away from receiving a hostile working environment complaint." Callie gave her friend a wink, before swiping the credit card through the machine.
