Hope you enjoy!

Exactly one week ago Callie took Arizona on the most amazing first date, it was definitely different than dinner and a movie, something Callie wanted. Their second date took place three days later when Arizona surprised Callie with tickets to the carnival. Callie was totally surprised that the blonde remembered a story she told about when she was 5 and wanted to go but her father told her she was too old for such foolishness. Arizona wanted to make it a fun filled day of rides, pigging out on crappy food and playing games. And that's exactly what it was. Callie was like a kid in a candy store, the games being her favorite part she even won a stuffed clown fish for Arizona that she named nemo.

The relationship between the two women has grown stronger over the past seven days but they haven't had THE conversation or talked about what's going to happen when she goes back to New York the following week. Neither woman wants to bring it up for fear of the answer, so they have unconsciously or maybe consciously decided to live in ignorance for now and just enjoy each others company. And that's exactly what they've been doing, they've spent every day together talking and continuing to learn new things. Of course Callie is a little more closed off and cautious about what she shares, while Arizona has become an open book. She can feel Callie holding back but she hasn't said anything, instead choosing to let it go.

Arizona going to Florida in the first place was for work so of course she had to actually work at some point. Her and Teddy were able to hire a couple sales associates, now all they needed were a few more, an assistant manager and a few associates to handle the kids arts and crafts part of the store. To be honest the foursome have been doing more playing than working and although the blonde and the brunette aren't an official couple they have been doing coupley things with their best friends. Oddly enough Arizona and Addison have gotten closer, doing what Callie and Teddy like to call 'girly things' while the other two watch anything sports related.

Callie and Arizona decided that they would follow the third date rule, which is absolute torture for both of them. They feel as if getting to know each other without the physical will make it even better but with all the teasing they have been putting each other through the sexual energy between them is thick as fog. It's Saturday, exactly one week since she met the beautiful blonde and Callie is having a barbeque for her friends, many of which haven't met Arizona yet. It's been one week since the brunette had sex so at this point she was desperately horny; today is going to be a test of wills for her.

The foursome is lounging around the house waiting for the guests to arrive. Callie looks out the sliding glass doors to poolside where she has a perfect view of the blonde talking and laughing with Addison, her blue and white striped bikini making her look delicious. Lust has clouded her brain as she sizes up the blonde from toe to head, her toes painted the exact shade of blue to match her bikini, toned legs that seem to go on forever, tight ass that has become Callie's new obsession, flat toned stomach not to mention the beautiful butterfly tattoo on her hip bone and the motherland, the holy grail her full shapely breasts covered by small triangles. The jealous side of Callie wants to throw a t shirt over her but every other side loves the view. Arizona Robbins is HOT.

Callie feels someone beside her but doesn't move or avert her eyes. She is brought out of her lusty haze by Teddy saying, "Our women are hot."

She tears her eyes away to look at the other blonde, "huh?"

Teddy starts laughing, and walks into the kitchen with Callie on her heal. "Maybe you should jump in the pool and cool off."

"Oh my god, have you seen her? Where did that even come from?"

Laughing, "It's new; she got it with Addison yesterday."

Putting her head down on the counter, "she's trying to kill me."

"Awe the three date rule," patting her shoulder. "Whose crazy ass idea was that anyway?"

"It was a mutual decision that I am quickly regretting, she's a tease."

"Oh from what I've seen the teasing is mutual." Teddy starts laughing as Callie groans. Callie's friend Mark comes barreling into the kitchen from the backyard, causing her head to snap up.

"Who's the sexy ass blonde in the striped bikini?"

"That is the death of me"

"You really need to hook me up with her."

"Mark, you go near her and I'll chop it off." Teddy laughs at the grimace on his face.

"That's harsh."

"She's my best friend. Arizona is Callie's" thinking, "I don't really know what she is to Callie but they've gone out and she's totally lusting right now."

"Well I don't blame her, Blondie's hot." He says earning a scowl from Callie; he throws his hands up in defeat. "I'm just making an observation."

Arizona walks in, Teddy's leaning on the counter with a beer and Callie's giving a guy she's never met a look that could kill. "Hey here you are, your friends are starting to arrive." She looks between Callie and Mark while slowly walking over to where she's sitting at the breakfast bar.

Callie looks at her, still in that 'kill me now' bikini and she silently growls. "Thanks babe," pulling her in between her legs and wraps her arms around her waist.

Arizona kisses her on the lips, forgetting that Teddy and the no name man are there. Wrapping her arms around the taller woman's neck she pulls her in to deepen the kiss. Callie's tongue pushes past her closed lips and as soon as their tongues touch Arizona moans into her mouth, which sends Callie's senses into overdrive. Her hands are roaming all over Arizona's body, cupping and squeezing her ass to bring her even closer.

Teddy clears her throat with a smirk, "you do know we're still in the room right." Her voice causes them to separate. While Mark is just standing there staring with his mouth open.

Arizona blushes and puts her forehead on Callie's shoulder, "this from the woman that almost had sex on my couch last night while we were watching a movie."

Taking a sip of beer, "hey what can I say I'm irresistible." Smirking, "you alright there Sloan?" Getting his attention, he looks at her then Callie then the back of the blonde who has her head on Callie's shoulder and his friend's hands that are still on the blonde's ass.

"Yea I'm good," Grinning at Callie.

Callie rolls her eyes and whispers in the embarrassed blonde's ear, "babe I want you to meet someone." Callie started calling her babe two days ago; it came out so naturally that neither woman said anything about it.

Picking her head up from Callie's shoulder and turning around, thus causing Callie to groan over the loss of the ass in her hands. "Arizona this is my other best friend Mark Sloan, Mark this is Arizona."

Mark steps forward and extends his hand, "it's a pleasure to meet you."

They shake hands, "you too." Remembering the second reason she came in, turning to her best friend, "Oh Teds your woman says and I quote, get your skinny but sexy ass out there to rub lotion all over her body."

Teddy starts chocking on her beer, "fuck, gotta go." She leaves to go back out to the pool leaving Arizona, Callie and Mark in the kitchen.

"So, Arizona Teddy tells me you're from New York." Callie glares at him; not knowing where this conversation is going.

Arizona noticing the look on his face turns to look at Callie, "What?"

"Nothing babe," softly kissing her on the lips, her hands start to travel up and down her body. "I'm really going to need you to cover up."

Looking down at herself, "why? Don't you like it?" Arizona says with a small frown.

"What? No I love it, you look amazing. The problem is I can't keep my hands off you and it's not helping with the whole third date sex thing."

Arizona laughs and leans in to whisper in her ear, "so I'm making you horny."

Feeling her breath on her skin sends goose bumps all over Callie's body, closing her eyes she says. "You have no idea."

"Ok ok I'm going but just so you know," leaning in, "I'm horny too." She kisses her lips before going upstairs. She has been staying at Callie's house since their second date, in the guest room of course.

"The death of me," Callie mumbles before turning her attention to Mark whose staring in the direction the blonde just left in. "Stop looking at her Mark." Giving him the Torres glare. She gets up to get a beer from the fridge.

Mark follows her into the kitchen, "what's going on Cal?"

"What are you talking about?" she takes a sip of beer.

"What's going on with you and blondie?"

"Don't call her that Mark, you make her sound like a dumb blonde and she's far from that."

"Fine, is she even legal?" Mark asks.

Callie can feel her temperature rising, "Mark, she's 27. What the hell is all this about?"

"Just making sure you're good, I don't wanna see you get hurt."

Calming down, "look we're having fun; she's funny, smart, beautiful and I like being around her. We've only known each other for a week but I like her so don't be stupid around her."

"Ok, that's all you need to say." He says smiling, "she is really hot though and that body oh my god."

Callie laughs at her friends accurate description of her blonde, "I know and she knows how to use it to get me to do what she wants, I swear I might die before we get the chance to have sex." They both start laughing as Arizona rejoins them wearing very short jean cut off shorts. Looking at her up and down, "I don't know if that's any better."

"Well it's going to have to do; I'm going to go back out there. Don't be too long, I need someone to rub suntan lotion on me." Arizona winks at her, and then turns to Mark. "I look forward to getting to know you." She turns and walks to the back with an extra sway in her hips knowing her brunette is watching her every move.

Callie's throat goes dry watching her walk out and she takes a sip of her beer. "That woman sure knows how to exit a room."

"You have no idea." Callie says staring at the door.

"So I need to tell you something but you have to promise you won't kill me." His statement causes Callie to look at him.

"What did you do?" She glares at him.

"In my defense I didn't know about you and your femme fatale out there."

"Ok if that's what you want to be your defense now tell me, what. the. hell. did. you. do?" Callie says through clenched teeth.

"I invited Megan," He says almost scared.

Callie's eyes are the size of saucers, "you did what."

"She was at the bar the other night talking about how she hasn't seen you in about a week and asking me about you and if you're alright." Callie starts pacing, "So I told her about the BBQ and she said she'd stop by."

"Dammit Mark. Why can't you just mind your own fucking business? I haven't seen or talked to her since I kicked her out of my bed a week ago, the day I met Arizona." Getting more and more pissed off.

"Well I know that now, how was I supposed to know?"

"You were supposed to mind your own fucking business, now I have to explain this to her because knowing Megan she's going to make it perfectly clear that she's seen me naked."

"I was trying to help; I thought she made you happy."

"Happy? Are you kidding me she's someone I had sex with…a lot, that's it nothing more." Callie runs her hands over her face and through her hair, "stop trying to fix me Mark, I don't need or want it."

"I'm sorry Cal, really I am."

"Its fine, I knew sooner or later I'd have to explain it to Arizona. I was just hoping never would have been an option." Callie smiles at Mark letting him know everything was fine between the two of them.

Arizona pokes her head in, "Calliope you're not being a very good hostess, and I'm starting to burn waiting for you. Get your sexy ass out here." She slides the door closed.

Mark looks at Callie with a mischievous glint in his eye, "Calliope huh? The last person that called you that almost got their arm broken."

Callie just smiles, "what can I say I like the way she says it." They walk out to the pool and the party is in full swing, music is thumping through the speakers and most of her friends have arrived. Derek and Owen are taking care of the grill, like always. Mark and Callie split up; he goes to the grill while she heads over to where the ladies are lounging. After saying her hellos, Callie scans for Arizona. She smiles when she sees her playing in the pool with Derek and Meredith's 2 year old daughter, Zola.

Christina and Meredith walk up behind her, "we like her Torres. Christina says.

Callie smiles knowing Christina doesn't like many people, "well good Christina cause that's what I live for, your approval." Meredith is just snickering beside her best friend.

"No need to get snippy, I thought you'd be happy that I approve."

"Overjoyed," Callie says dryly.

Meredith looks over at her daughter laughing with the blonde, "Zola likes her too."

"What's not to like," Callie says with a smile.

"Oh I think Torres is smitten." Meredith says as her and Christina start laughing.

"I think your daughter is too." The three women look at the blonde and the toddler playing in the pool, Zola is giggling as Arizona is tickling her. Meredith and Christina walk to the grill to see the progress of the food.

Arizona notices the brunette staring at her and they locks eyes, Callie has taken her top off and she looks all kinds of sexy in a red bikini top and red board shorts, her stomach muscles on display and her full breasts yearning to be touched. Red is definitely her color. Arizona can see the lust in her eyes; they both lick their lips at the same time. Zola who has been trying to get Arizona's attention splashes her in the face thus causing to two to break eye contact.

Teddy and Addison walk up behind her, "you're perving again." Teddy says with a smile.

"Can you blame me?"

"Absolutely not, we knew that bikini would drive you crazy," Addison laughs.

"So she planned it," Callie says with a smile.

"No actually it was my idea." Smiling

Teddy smiles with pride, "that's my girl." She gives Addie a kiss on the cheek.

Callie looks over at Arizona in the pool and her eyes wonder to Mark by the grill and she remembers what he did. A wave of panic hits her and she motions for the two women to follow her inside. Once inside she starts pacing back and forth, trying to figure out what to do.

"What's going on Cal?" Teddy finally says.

"Ok so I'm about to tell you something but you have to promise you won't get mad because I swear I had nothing to do with it"

"Callie?" Addie says with a hint of concern in her voice.

"Mark invited Megan." She closes her eyes waiting for the yelling to start.

"WHAT?" Teddy yells.

Addie puts her hand on Teddy's shoulder, "babe calm down." Turning to Callie, "why would he invite her?"

"She was asking about me at the club because I haven't been there in a week and he invited her. He didn't know about Arizona." Looking at Teddy who she can tell is pissed.

"Teddy lets out a frustrated sigh, "any minute now your fuck buddy is going to walk into your backyard where the girl you may be interested in is walking around clueless. You need to tell her."

"I know I'm just panicking; I have every intention of telling her I just don't want her to look at me differently."

"Cal she wouldn't do that and you know it." Addie says.

"I've known Arizona since she was ten, she's not like that besides she's had her share of fuck buddies believe me but what would piss her off is if she walked into a situation blind and it could have been avoided."

Arizona walks through the sliding glass door to find Callie, Addison and Teddy standing in the dining room looking rather serious. She glances at Teddy and she can see the vein in her neck throbbing, a classic sign that her bestie is pissed. She chooses to ignore her and address Callie, who has found a spot on her hardwood floor very interesting. "Calliope, what's going on? You keep sneaking away," reaching for her hand.

"We're going to go back outside." Addison looks at Callie and Teddy looks at Arizona who has a 'what the hell' look on her face, before walking out hand in hand.

Callie keeps her head down until she hears the sliding door close. She looks at Arizona who has a look of worry on her face and immediately feels bad. "Come on," Callie takes her hand and leads her to the kitchen. She then grabs two beers and walks back to where Arizona is leaning against the counter. Arizona takes the offered beer, "Callie what's going on?"

Callie takes in the blonde's appearance before starting, Arizona put on a mesh cover up and her hair is in a ponytail causing water to slowly slide down her neck…sexy as hell. "Ok," she takes a deep breath. "I didn't know she was coming, Mark invited her and I'm still not sure why, although he told me his reasons." Arizona puts her finger on Callie's lips to stop the ramble.

"Just tell me, please." Giving her a slight smile.

"There's a girl…woman that I have been hooking up with for a few months, it's nothing but sex, for me and for her." There's a pause, she looks at Arizona who's looking down and she can hear the thoughts going through her mind.

"Ok so why are you telling me this," Arizona says feeling immense jealousy at the thought of someone else touching 'her' Calliope.

"Because Mark invited her and I didn't want you to be blindsided. She's…Megan's the type that will rub it in your face and I needed and wanted you to know that she means nothing to me. She was a distraction, nothing more."

Arizona starts to panic, has she been with her while they've been…whatever to each other. "When was the last time?" She finally says almost whispering.

"The night before I met you."

"Have you wanted to since?"

Callie can feel the uncertainty and insecurity falling off Arizona in waves and that's the last thing she wants her to feel. She steps in front of her, bends down to grip the back of her thighs and picks her up onto the counter. Callie steps between Arizona's legs and places a soft kiss on her neck before pulling back and looking into her eyes. "The day I picked you up from the airport was the best day of my life, I haven't wanted anyone but you and I want you desperately. Please believe that."

Arizona becoming mesmerized by her soulful brown eyes just smiles and says, "Thanks for telling me."

"So we're good?" Callie asks completely uncertain.

"Yes Calliope we're good. Just so you know though I don't intimidate easily, your little fuck buddy better watch it before I get a brick."

"Oohh dirty," rubbing her thighs.

"I grew up with the name Arizona; I know how to fight dirty."

Callie laughs for the first time since Mark told her. She looks into Arizona's eyes and leans in to kiss her softly on the lips. Pulling back she whispers against her lips, "just so YOU know, you're the only one I want to fuck."

The lowered octave of Callie's voice sends shivers down Arizona's spine, "the feeling is very much mutual; I want you to fuck me too."

They stare into each other's eyes, Arizona sees Callie's eyes turn from chocolate brown to almost black, and the sexual tension is thick. They both know if they don't step away their rule will be thrown out the window, because Callie is two seconds away from taking the blonde right on the counter.

Shaking her head to bring herself out of her horny induced haze, Callie steps back, "we should get out there before Teddy kills Mark, she was really pissed." Arizona takes Callie's offered hand and jumps down off the counter, she refuses to let go instead intertwining their fingers and they walk out to have fun with their friends.

The afternoon is filled with good food, drinks, games and friends. They're all having a good time, Zola has fallen asleep on one of the lounge chairs so it's just the adults laughing and playing in the pool. Since their talk Callie has not left Arizona's side, part of her wants to be near the blonde and another part not wanting to leave her alone in case Megan does show up. As afternoon turns into early evening, they have all but forgotten about their unwanted guest. All the adults seem to have found things to occupy their time. Christina, Meredith, Addison and Meredith's little sister Lexie are alternating between playing a drinking game and playing cards. Mark, Derek, Owen and Teddy are playing basketball, while Callie and Arizona are entangled in each other's arms in the pool.

Callie has her back on the wall with Arizona's legs wrapped around her hips as her hands are moving from her thighs over her ass and up her back. "This is nice." Arizona says putting her arms around Callie's neck.

"Yea, they all really like you."

"Good cause I like them too," Arizona smiles.

Everyone is so caught up in what they're doing that they don't hear the entrance of another person. "Well isn't this cozy." Megan walks closer to the pool, catching Addison, Christina and Meredith's eye.

Callie groans and closes her eyes while Arizona tries to move but Callie holds her in place, "hey Megan, Mark told me you were stopping by." She says opening her eyes.

"Yea, I haven't heard from you in a week and I was worried, you've never let a week go by without at least a phone call." Callie can feel the blonde tense up knowing the hidden meaning behind that statement, she starts caressing her thighs under water. This does not go unnoticed.

"Well as you can see I'm fine, I've just been busy." Callie looks at Arizona who is clenching her jaw and decides to let her go if she wanted to.

"I can see that," she looks directly at Arizona.

Arizona takes a deep breath and untangles herself from Callie, she then moves to the edge of the pool and hoists herself out. All the while feeling both Callie's and Megan's eyes on her, she walks up to Megan. Getting a closer look she can see why Callie might be attracted to her, she's shorter than Callie with short brown hair and gray eyes but the scowl on her face is not flattering. Arizona sticks out her hand to introduce herself, "Hi Megan I'm Arizona, It's kind of my fault Callie hasn't been around this past week. Sorry about that." She says with a smile.

Megan refuses to take Arizona's outstretched hand, "its ok, she'll be back, she always is." She says with a smug smile.

"Well from what I heard it wasn't all that great so I suggest you find someone else." Megan's smile immediately disappears. This seems to have caught the attention of everyone and they're standing a few feet away watching, Teddy is ready to pounce but Addison's holding her back. Callie gets out of the pool because she sees the look on Megan's face.

Callie steps between them, turns to face Arizona and kisses her on the lips, "please go with the others I'll get rid of her," she whispers. Turning back to Megan, she says. "Megan why are you here?" She can feel Arizona's anger radiating off of her

"I told you because I was worried about you," she touches Callie's arm. "But I see you've been preoccupied with your new toy, "gesturing towards Arizona.

She hears Arizona take a deep breath before she turns and leaves, "all of that isn't necessary."

"Come on Cal, you and I both know…"

Interrupting, "you don't know anything, just stop. You came to see if I'm alright, you see I'm fine you can go now." She can feel herself start to lose control.

"Fine but when you get tired of miss goodie goodie you know where to find me." Megan says before turning on her heels and walking out the gate.

Callie takes a deep breath before turning around, she walks over to her friends, and everybody is kind of in shock. Mark is the first to speak, "I'm really sorry Cal."

Noticing Arizona is gone, "Its fine, where is she?"

"She went inside, said something about being cold," Callie runs inside and goes from room to room looking for her, finally coming to the closed guest room that has become hers over the past week.

She knocks on the door, "Arizona it's me, can I come in?" she hears a faint come in. Callie walks in, as Arizona's walking out of the walk in closet dressed in shorts and a tank top. "Arizona…," Callie starts.

She stands in front of her, "Don't Calliope, you have nothing to apologize for, you didn't do anything.

"I just feel bad, I'm sorry that she came, I'm sorry for what she said to you."

Arizona waves it off, "Eh I have think skin." She smiles

"So you're not mad?"

"I'm mad, just not at you; I do wish you would have let me at her."

"Oh no these beautiful hands are made for lovin not fighting," Callie takes her hands and kisses her knuckles.

"Come on lets go before they think we're either having sex or I'm trying to kill me." They walk out hand in hand to enjoy the rest of their evening with each other.

Although the pair has yet to define their relationship or even acknowledge they're in one, the past week has left both women wanting more. Can they get their act together and admit their feelings? Or will they crash and burn before they get started? Only time will tell.
