Disclaimer: As much as I'd love to have Arizona Robbins & Callie Torres, all characters sadly belong to Shonda Rhimes and ABC. I don't mean anything by it, it's just a bit of fun!

Thank you for the lovely reviews! They were very much appreciated, and convinced me to follow this up. Hope this doesn't disappoint, not much happens. It's a bit of a set up for the next chapter. Some of you know I'm in my last year of high school, so don't expect updates too often, but I promise to do my best if I continue it :D

ON WITH THE STORY :)

She hadn't seen Callie for a week, possibly one of the worst weeks of her life. The thing about working in a hospital is that when you really need to hide from someone it's quite easy, it's a good and bad thing. So in the days after their fight that she was furious with Callie she was completely professional, spending most of her time with patients or worried parents, NOT thinking about how good Callie smelled, or how good she looked in Arizona's bed in the early hours of the morning. She didn't think about the way she said her name when she was close, and she certainly wasn't taking note of the 8 days and 13 hours since she'd seen her. She could do it, she didn't need Callie, she didn't need anyone.

Other days, she wanted nothing more than to forget all about their silly fight, and go crawling back to the gorgeous ortho god. She'd scan the surgical board for Callie's name, wanting to corner her and apologise profusely, to have Callie declare her love for her in front of the entire O.R. and admit how much she needed her. Except all she could do was freeze once she got to the door of the operating room.

She kept going back to that night in the Attending's Lounge.

"It's only sex!"

That stung more than she cared to admit.

XXX

"Hey you."

Arizona looked up from her chart. Of course, her very best friend was striding into the empty exam room, eyes sparkling, and a certain spring in her step.

"Someone's happy." Arizona said gloomily. She was nearly always the perky cheery one.

"Someone's not." she desperately wanted to change the subject.

"What's got you so happy Miss Altman?"

"Shepherd offered me a full time contract."

"Teddy that's great!"

"It is," she actually couldn't stop smiling. "I wasn't too sure before but, okay- what's got you hiding away doing charts in an exam room? Karev should be doing those."

Arizona sighed; she didn't really want to think about it, despite it being the only thing she could think about lately.

"Ahh, I'm guessing it should be who has got you hiding away in an exam room doing charts. But I think I can guess."

"I don't get it Teddy! When it's just us, everything is fine. Perfect even. It was NEVER just sex, even at the start. We used to talk for hours, about everything, the woman knows me better than you do. But then she goes and says it's just sex, as if she's just been using me."

"She's just processing." Teddy didn't really know what to say, she'd never been confused about her sexuality and the people, men, she'd dated were never unsure either.

"It's been 6 months since we first slept together. It's more than her processing."

"Just give her time, I've seen the way she looks at you, it's not just sex."

"She doesn't want me Teds." She looked back to her charts, the conversation was over.

"Oh my God Teddy, she's amazing." The blonde couldn't have been happier if she tried; she'd gone above and beyond cloud nine.

"That good huh? Maybe there is something to this whole lesbian thing." The cardio surgeon laughed. She hadn't seen her best friend this happy in a long time.

"Not just the sex, her in general! She's funny and cute and talented and HOT. I mean have you seen her? Oh and she makes this little noise when-"

"Okay! I get it." She had to interrupt, she was over the moon that Arizona was rambling about Callie, she'd being pining after her for a long time, but there was a line.

Arizona blushed and looked to Joe,

"Another white?"

"What are we celebrating?"

"A beautiful woman, Joe." She was beaming.

"Ahh, then this one's on the house." Arizona could have kissed him.

"But honestly Teddy, she's just… indescribable."

"I'm glad it's finally happened. When are you seeing her again?"

"We didn't make plans, but soon hopefully."

"Well then, here's to beautiful women."

"I'm only toasting one beautiful woman."

"You're so corny." They laughed as they clinked glasses.

"Torres. What have you done to Robbins?"

Callie whipped around.

"I'm sorry?" She was standing at the 1st floor nurse's station, not hiding or anything.

"I was in the best mood I've been in for a long time this morning, until I had to console Teddy about Arizona's bleeding heart over you. Now the moods gone."

"What? You're mad that Teddy is upset because Arizona …" She was so far past confused.

"You've hurt her. Badly."

"Teddy?"

"Arizona."

"I really don't know what you're talking about Mark."

"Callie, this is Seattle Grace. Everybody knows what I'm talking about."

She started to realise.

He lowered his voice "Cal, it is okay. You can't help who you love. There's nothing wrong with it, and you could do a lot worse than Blondie." It was one of the most sincere things he'd ever said to her. "It's also incredibly hot."

Uhhh. Of course mark went there.

"It's Seattle Grace-Mercy West now Mark." Her voice was small.

He watched his best friend walk away.

Callie's mind was racing. Sure this hospital was notorious for gossip, but she had been so careful. She was barely talking to herself about it, let alone anyone else. She'd asked Arizona to not tell anyone, keep it between the two, which obviously hadn't happened; Teddy knew. How was she supposed to work with people after they knew? How would they ever respect her?

Wait. Did Mark say she'd hurt Arizona? Crap.

She hadn't been paying attention to where she was going and round herself at the E.R., outside an Exam Room. Needing some space, the exam room seemed like a haven.

"Wh- Arizona?" The blonde sat on the table doing what seemed like charts

"Callie? What are you doing?"

"Oh I was just-I needed supplies." She went to leave, but when she turned the handle, nothing.

"Can you please just leave?"

"I… I can't, the door won't work." Arizona jumped off the table and flew towards the door.

The door handle wouldn't turn, it was jammed shut.

"Don't even try Torres. You two are stuck in there until you work this out."

'Mark?" They both yelled, it was one of those jinx moments.

"Arizona I'm sick of you being upset, I'm supposed to be the moody war stricken one!"

"Theodora Altman! Unlock this door NOW."

"I can't hear you. Mark can you hear them?"

"Not a thing. Wanna get a coffee?"

"Sure. You two work this out."

:O The two ladies find themselves in an empty exam room? Could be interesting.

Worth continuing? Thanks for reading lovelies!
