I Guess I have a Thing for Blondes

Chapter 5

It had been three weeks; Three wonderful, amazing weeks since their first date. Callie and Arizona had been out five times during that time and were really starting to get to know each other.

"So, have you two…ya know…" Meredith started to ask Callie while they were standing at the nurses' station waiting for rounds to start or a new case to come in.

"Slept together yet?" Callie finished for her. Meredith waggled her eyebrows to show that yes that was in fact what she had meant.

"No, we haven't actually. We're taking things slow, getting to know each other."

"Really? Hmm…and how many dates have you two been on?"

"Tonight makes six. Why?"

"Six dates and still nothing? You are heading to the friend zone…fast!"

"No we're not Mer. It's not like there's been nothing at all you know. She always snuggles into me on the couch when we watch movies, and we kiss…a lot. Why am I even trying to justify this to you anyway? We'll get there."

"Yeah maybe tonight you'll get there." She elbowed Callie lightly in the ribs.

"Would you get out of here now?" Callie said to Meredith as she noticed Arizona walking towards them. Meredith turned and walked away, but not before giving her a huge wink to which Callie responded with a nasty look and a shake of the head.

"What was that all about?" Arizona asked looking in the direction of where Meredith had walked.

"Nothing. She was just bugging me." She pulled Arizona into her and put her hands lightly on her hips. "How's your day going?"

"It's going alright. All my patients are stable so I don't have any surgeries booked today. Just rounds. How about yours?"

"Pretty much the same, I'm excited about tonight though."

"Yeah. Me too."

"Have you decided what you wanna do?" They had made plans to see each other that night but never landed on exactly what they were going to do.

"Yep!" Arizona replied excitedly. "Laid back all the way. I'm thinking going to Blockbuster and picking out a movie, then heading to Taco Bell followed by vegging out in our PJ's at my place?" She sounded slightly nervous as she finished.

"You want me to stay over? At your place?" Callie said with a surprised tone. Up 'til now they had only hung out at Arizona's once and it was just watching a movie. Now, Arizona was suggesting she stay over. Hmmm, could she be thinking tonight might be The Night? Callie thought to herself.

"Yeah, if you want to that is. If it's too soon I understand but I just thought…" Callie put her hand up to stop her from the rambling she sensed was on its way. Arizona always rambled when she got nervous.

"I would love to stay over tonight. It works out nicely that we both have the day off tomorrow too." She smiled and pecked Arizona on the lips. "I'll head home and get my stuff and then meet you at your place?"

"Sounds good to me. See ya later Calliope." She then kissed the tip of Callie's nose before heelying down the hallway back towards PEDS. Ever since their first date Arizona had started kissing Callie on the nose. She didn't do it all the time but Callie liked when she did. She thought it was totally adorable and always reminded her of that night and how it felt kissing the blonde for the first time.

When 6pm rolled around signaling the end of her shift, Callie all but ran to her car. She was moving so quickly she didn't see Dr. Mark Sloan and just about ran into him.

"Woah! Where you going so quickly? You look like you've got a bomb strapped to your ass." He said in his casual, yet arrogant tone while standing right in front of the door she was trying to go through.

"I've just gotta get home ok? Move outta my way Sloan."

"Ooh Ooh, Got a hot date with Roller Girl tonight do ya?" He said arms crossed across his chest and rocking back and forth on his heels.

"You're calling her that too now?" She said annoyed.

"Actually, almost the whole hospital is calling her that now. Not just me. Even Sheppard's in on it. I'm gonna take that as yes to the hot date though." He laughed.

"I'm not telling you anything, now get-out-of-my-way." She said the last part through clenched teeth.

"Fine! Jeeze! He said stepping out of her way. "Roller Girl better put out soon 'cause you're starting to get really cranky!" He called after her as she walked out into the parking lot. If it wasn't for the fact that she was trying to get home quickly, and was eager to spend the night with Arizona, she would've turned around, gone back, and punched him square in his pretty-boy face. She drove as fast as the speed limit would allow and then burst through her front door.

"What's got your panties in a bunch?" Christina asked looking up from the book she was reading on the couch.

"I have a date with Arizona tonight." She said as she blew past Christina into her room. Christina put her book down and followed her.

"Ok? What's different though? You guys have gone out a few times and the only time you were this nuts was your first date, so what's so special about to-" she was about to say tonight but realization dawned on her before she finished. "You're so getting laid tonight!"

"I don't know that ok?"

"You are! You're all flustered and you're packing an overnight bag." She paused and watched what Callie pulled out of her pajama drawer. "And you're bringing a satin and lace camisole with matching shorts."

"So? It's pajamas! What's so weird about that? She said she wanted to get Taco Bell and watch a movie in our pajamas so I'm bringing pajamas." She tried to shrug nonchalantly.

"You picked out sexy pajamas. I've seen what you wear for pajamas. Happy Bunny flannel bottoms and a matching t-shirt or tank top, Betty Boop boxer shorts with matching top. You like your cartoon characters. I wasn't even aware you owned sexy pajamas to be quite honest."

"Shut up Christina! And of course I have sexy pajamas, I have had relationships before."

"Ah yes, but then you break out the lingerie, that is different."

"Well I'm not going to show up to her house in a lace teddy and then she comes out in sweats! I don't even know that this isn't just a slumber party!" Her face was starting to flush now. The more she thought about what tonight could mean the more she started to get nervous.

"I highly doubt this is going to be just a slumber party Callie. How many adults do you know that are dating and then sleep in the same bed without sex?"

"None. Fine okay, that's probably the reason. Great. Now I'm more nervous, thank you so much Christina!" She said sarcastically.

"Anytime!" She said laughing, as she walked back out to the living room. Callie finished packing her overnight bag, spritzed on a bit of perfume, fixed her make-up and left for Arizona's.


Arizona Robbins left the hospital at 5pm. She had an hour before Callie was even off shift to go home and get ready for their date. She stopped on her way home and picked up a nice bottle of wine. The same one she had ordered on their first date, then took the fastest route home from the liquor store. She had already cleaned the day before so she was glad she didn't need to do it now. Her house was always pretty spotless anyway, but she always put extra effort into it when she knew Callie was coming over, or there was even a chance that she might. She set the bottle on the counter and hunted around the kitchen for her opener. She uncorked the wine, threw out the cork and replaced it with a fancy decorative stopper.

"What am I going to wear tonight?" She said to herself aloud as she hunted through her pajama drawer. She moved aside all the cartoon character sets cursing herself for not buying more adult pajamas. She finally settled on a black spaghetti strap tank top and a pair of Hello Kitty boxer shorts. The boxers were just tight enough and short enough that they showed off her perfect figure, same with the tank top. She figured even though it was a cartoon character, they were still sexy enough to have the desired effect on Callie. She hoped they would anyway. She folded them up neatly and placed them at the foot of the bed, which was made to look like a showroom model. She even had satin sheets. They were champagne to match her duvet cover which was a sable colour with gold embroidered fleur de lis. It paired nicely with the light sky blue she had chosen for her walls and the dark mahogany of her king size four poster bed frame. She had a nice set of votive candles on top of the dresser that she had strategically placed a barbecue lighter next to so that she would be able to quickly light them to set the mood before Callie walked in. She had it all planned out, now the only thing that could go wrong would be Callie shooting her down. She really hoped that didn't happen. She would be mortified at the rejection. She was pretty sure though, that Callie wouldn't turn her down. She saw the way her breathing became labored when they would be kissing on the couch, the flush that would creep across Callie's chest. She'd even seen her bite her lower lip a few times when she kissed her neck. Besides, it wasn't like they had just met. This was their sixth date! Dating rules usually dictated three dates before sleeping together and they were at double that. Plus, they had the advantage of seeing each other every day too. After checking her hair and make-up she went downstairs to wait for Callie to arrive.
