AN: Well, don't have anything to say right now besides enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 8: Explanations
Jamie was standing there looking at Callie expectantly.
"See the reason I didn't call you was because-"
Just then Mark walked in. "Callie there you are, I've been looking everywhere for you. There's something important I have to tell you…" Mark trailed off once he saw the entire women that were in the room and the tension between them.
"Mark, right now is not a really good time." Callie told him.
Mark took a good look around the room and saw Jamie staring at him with her eyebrows raised. Mark, thinking she was interested in him introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Mark Sloan. I know what you're thinking, how hot is he, well I'd love to give you my number but unfortunately I'm off the market."
"Yeah, hi, uhm I'm gay so I'm pretty sure that's not what I was thinking. I'm Jamie Anders by the way."
Mark was speechless and out of the corner of his eye he could see Callie trying hard not to laugh. After a while the name registered in his mind.
"Oh Jamie Anders you're the cute girl that left her phone number on Callie's hand right?" He turned towards Callie to see if he was correct.
"Yeah, that's her Mark. Now can you please leave so I can talk and explain some things?"
"Fine," he said totally forgetting what he was supposed to tell Callie, "I'll just come back when things are a little less… awkward."
After Mark left Callie decided to just come out with it instead of beating around the bush.
"Ok Jamie the reason I didn't call you was because I don't think my girlfriend would have liked that very much. Plus later on when we broke up I was too heartbroken to think about going out with another girl."
"You had a girlfriend?" Jamie asked.
"Uhm yeah." Callie responded.
"Well it's been like six months; don't tell me you're still not over her."
"Actually Jamie we're back together."
"Oh ok I understand. Then can we at least be friends, you know have lunch together or something?"
Callie looked at Arizona and although Arizona was trying to hide it Callie could tell that Arizona did not want Callie to have lunch with Jamie at least not alone.
"Sure, as long as we're not alone because I don't think my girlfriend would like that very much."
"Well she doesn't have to know. I mean we can go somewhere when you're free."
Finally having enough Arizona cut in. "Actually she would know."
"What are you talking about, how would she know?" Jamie asked a little confused.
"She would know because I'm her girlfriend, and don't think I don't notice that you're still flirting with her after she told you she has a girlfriend."
Jamie was speechless. Callie decided this was a perfect time to intervene.
"Why don't we go down to the cafeteria and we'll explain everything to you Jamie."
They went down to the cafeteria leaving Erica to tend to Katie. After telling the story and multiple apologies from Jamie, which Arizona forgave, they started eating lunch in peace that is until Mark showed up.
"Arizona can I talk to you?" He asked.
"Uhm sure. I'll see you guys later."
Mark led Arizona into an on-call room.
"Ok Mark seriously if rumors start about what us and what we supposedly did I the on-call room, I'm going to kill you."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I just wanted to know if you told her."
"Uhm…"
"Arizona! When I talked you last time you said you were going to do it."
"I was, but then I got paged and then I found out about Jamie and it totally slipped my mind."
"You have to tell her."
"I know that."
"And you keep saying you know that but you haven't done it, so come on." Mark said leading Arizona away from the on-call room.
"Mark, where are you taking me?"
"I figured you hadn't told her so I decided to get back-up to try to make you see how stubborn you're being." He explained leading her into a conference room.
"What do you mean back-up, and what are they doing here?" Arizona asked seeing that all her friends were here, Teddy, Owen, Cristina, Meredith, Derek, Alex, Lexie, Jackson, and Bailey.
"We all know about your situation with Erica." Teddy said.
"You told them?" Arizona asked Mark a little mad.
"No, Cristina told Meredith and Owen. Owen told Teddy and Derek, and Meredith told Lexie who told Alex and Jackson, and I have no idea how Bailey found out."
"I overheard the conversation between Meredith and Lexie." Bailey explained.
Mark made Arizona sit down and everyone gave their opinion on why she needed to tell Callie. Finally it was Teddy's turn.
"Arizona I know you and I know there's something else you're not telling us about why you won't tell Callie."
Arizona just stayed quite. There was another reason why she wouldn't tell Callie.
"Arizona just tells us." Teddy encouraged her.
"Ok. What if she doesn't pick me?" Arizona whispered so low that only Teddy who was closest to her could hear.
"Arizona that's absurd, why wouldn't she pick you?"
After everyone heard Teddy's statement they started telling her that Callie would pick her.
"Look guys I appreciate what you're trying to do but I can't deal with this right now." Saying that Arizona walked out hoping to find Callie to make sure Jamie didn't try anything.
A Few Hours Later
Callie was by the nurses' station filling out charts. She was bored out of her mind and wanted to hang out with Arizona but she was in surgery. Suddenly, Mark came running towards her.
"Mark what's wrong?"
"Callie remember the important thing I had to tell you earlier?"
"Yeah, what was it?"
"Uhm…" Instead of answering Mark just pointed behind her.
Callie turned around and was shocked to find who it was.
"What are you doing here?"
AN: For all of you who want Arizona to tell Callie about Erica it's coming up in the next chapter and someone unexpected who convinces Arizona to tell Callie.
I just saw episode 2 online. Who here thinks Callie and Arizona need more screen time?"
