Chapter 7: Igniting Passions
Arizona's POV 1 Year Ago
As they walked in a group of people waved them over. Callie led them over and pulled out a chair for her to sit. Arizona recognized some of the people at the table from the hospital.
"Torres, wow! You are smoking! How come you don't wear that to the station? Who's your hot friend?" Mark asked while he checked out Arizona.
"This is Dr. Arizona Robbins. She is the Peds surgeon I've been shadowing. Callie went around the table introducing each person. Arizona was trying to remember everyone's name.
Mark Sloan was the self proclaimed "ladies man." The gentleman with red head was Owen Hunt. Sitting next to him was Alex Karev, who looked like someone just killed his puppy, Arizona thought to herself. Arizona met Calliope's roommate Cristina Yang, who didn't even bother to look up from her drink. Callie had told her that Cristina was standoffish and not to take offense. Next to Cristina was Lexie Grey who was Cristina's partner. Rounding off the table was Captain Derek Sheppard and his wife Meredith who Arizona knew from the hospital.
After several drinks...and the story of how Lily was rescued, the guys ordered some shots. Tequila was the alcohol for toasting in Rescue 73, and soon everyone had a shot in front of them.
Mark raised his glass and began, "Torres, I must say I wasn't too happy with you being assigned to us, but after the other night I'm damn glad you were there. So raise your glasses to drink in our newest brother, umm I mean sister, Callie Torres!"
Everyone raised their glasses and cheered to Callie. Arizona just watched as the happiness flooded the woman's body. She was staring at her when another round of shots were brought to the table and each member of Rescue 73 toasted Callie. Arizona noticed Meredith slide her glass over to Derek. A puzzled look came over Arizona's face, and Meredith noticed.
Meredith leaned over to Arizona and spoke softly, "The guys have a tradition of getting the new guy drunk after they are accepted into the brotherhood. So if I were you I'd start passing her the shots."
The last toast apparently was a company motto, so it was Alex Karev who finished the toast. "Find'em hot, Leave'em Wet! All the guys drank and started laughing. Arizona traced over Callie's face hoping that would be the motto for the evening. She began to smile and laugh to herself causing Callie to take notice.
"What's so funny? Callie asked.
"I'll tell you later, I promise." Arizona said while trying to subdue the thoughts dominating her mind.
The night wound down and Arizona was amazed that Callie wasn't totally drunk. She enjoyed watching the Latina enjoy herself. After a while though Callie shifted multiple times in her seat, uncomfortably. When Arizona asked her what was wrong, the Latina explained that her shoulder began to bother her so she asked Arizona if she wanted to come back to her apartment and watch a movie, so she could relax a bit.
"I'd love to, Calliope." She turned to the group, "It was nice meeting all of you." Arizona started to rise and began to feel the effects of the alcohol she drank. She stumbled back a bit before she felt the strong arm of Callie wrap around her.
"Whoa, are you ok?" Callie reached out with her good arm supporting Arizona.
"Yes, just wasn't expecting it to hit me that hard. I guess I should have eaten more than just a salad. Thanks Calliope." Arizona laughed.
Cristina was engrossed in a conversation with Owen until she heard the blonde use Callie's given name. "Hey, how come she gets to use your full name without a beating? Anytime I say it I ended up looking like I wrestled John Cena?" Cristina glared at Arizona.
"She is allowed to call me it because I like when she says it." Callie began as she turned to the male members of Rescue 73, narrowing her eyes she spoke, "And if any of you value your nut sacks, I wouldn't ever use that name again."
"Well if Blondie can use it, I'd say its fair game!" Sloan said.
Callie walked over to him and gripped him up by his ear, turning him to look her in the eye, she emphasized the next statement. "Mark, you're my brother, but I swear to God, I'll neuter you if you call me that again."
"Damn, Torres, oww, ok" Mark whined as the whole table erupted in laughter.
"Told you she goes all batshit crazy when you use her full name. I guess Roller girl is special." Cristina's comment made Arizona smile. She was the only allowed to call her Calliope.
Callie said her goodbyes and once again Arizona felt her reach for her hand. They decided to grab a pizza on the way back to Callie's apartment. Arizona couldn't believe that she was going back to Callie's place. The whole walk they held hands and chatted about the evening. It began to rain by the time they arrived at Callie's. As they walked in, Callie led them over to the couch. Callie motioned for Arizona to sit. She watched as she grabbed some glasses and pulled out a bottle of wine.
"Is white ok?" Callie asked.
"Sure, do you need help?" Arizona offered but Callie tucked the bottle into her sling, shaking her head no and carried the wine glasses in her other hand. Callie sat down and handed the bottle to Arizona to pour. After clicking through some stations they settled on watching The Proposal. Arizona though really wasn't paying attention to the movie, as she was concentrating on quelling the fire in her pants.
Soon after the movie started they finished eating and Arizona shifted herself onto the couch attempting to get comfy. Callie was sitting next to her and she felt the Latina's eyes on her every few moments. About a half hour into the movie, the day was starting to catch up to Arizona who began to doze off. She was in the middle of dreaming of being in Callie's arms when she her heard name being called. Embarrassed she began to blush.
"Arizona, hey it's really late, and why don't you stay here tonight?" Callie proposed.
Arizona thought for a moment of leaving. How was she supposed to sleep knowing that Callie would be that close, but yet so far away from her? Deciding to not to take a chance of falling asleep on the way home she agreed. Callie offered some sweat pants and a t shirt for her to sleep in. Arizona went into the bathroom to change. As she was changing she her Callie cursing softly from the bedroom. Stepping out her heart melted watching the Latina struggle with her shirt. She walked immediately to her. She slowly ran her hand up her uninjured side and felt the woman tense, and then relax breathing a deep sigh.
"Let me help you." Arizona whispered into Callie's ear.
Arizona began by placing herself behind Callie and lightly rubbing her back. She continued to rub her hands around to Callie's stomach, feeling her breath quicken she began to lift her shirt. Arizona couldn't believe how firm Callie's stomach was, lingering her feather light touches there for a bit. As she began to feel Callie's pulse rate speed up, she raise the shirt hem up using one hand, stopping right below her breasts. Using her other hand she raised Callie's arm holding onto her sleeve. Callie slid her arm out and turned to face Arizona. Arizona felt a wave of uncontrollable desire ripple through her as Callie's eyes met hers. She could see the dark lust in Callie's eyes. Finishing taking the shirt over her head, Arizona gently eased the garment over Callie's injured shoulder, placing her lips on the black and blue contusion.
"Arizona, please" was all Callie was able to get out before Arizona placed her hand on her cheek and began a sensual kiss. Slowly Arizona traced the Latina's lips with the tip of her tongue finding her lips to be silky soft. Callie moaned and parted her lips to allow access to Arizona. What began as an exploration soon turned into passions exploding within the women. Arizona was the first to need air, and moved back only to place her forehead against Callie's.
"Wow, umm, like yeah wow!" Arizona stated.
"I was waiting all night for you to do that." Callie smiled as she confessed.
That was all it took for Arizona to lose control. She crushed her lips back onto Callie's both of their tongues fighting for control. Arizona's hands wound into Callie's raven locks pulling her closer, deepening the kiss. Pushing her backwards, Arizona laid Callie on the bed, careful of her shoulder. After removing her shirt Arizona laid down beside Callie, continuing where she left off. She began by kissing a trail from her lips down to her neck, stopping to nip and lick her pulse point, which elicited a deep moan from Callie. Arizona continued a lazy exploration of Callie's upper torso, nipping her way down to those sweet breasts. She pushed herself up on her hands and straddle Callie, and removed her bra all in one motion. Smiling down at her, she couldn't imagine heaven being any better than this moment.
Arizona was brought back to reality by a voice standing at the bedroom door.
"Seriously? Really, you and Roller girl? Now I know why she can call you Calliope." Cristina just shook her head and head towards her bedroom. Arizona looked back down at Callie who was hysterically laughing. What a way to kill a moment Arizona thought to herself.
