AN: Since I received such awesome reviews, I decided to update sooner than I thought I would. I also want to thank FightingIrishFan15 for helping me think of a name for Arizona's friend.

Only a few more days until the wedding episode, I'm so excited!

Chapter 17: Caught in a Lie

Later that night when Callie got home, she was immediately pulled into a heated kiss. Once they broke the kiss, Callie just stared at Arizona before she spoke.

"Wow. I'm guessing your day was good." Callie said.

"It was amazing."

"So no problem hanging out with the parents all day?"

"Nope. We mostly hung out at the park all day."

"That's great. So tomorrow is my day off and it's also Mark's day off so I'm going to hang out with him all day, maybe go to dinner with him?"

"Okay, thanks for telling me."

"No problem."

Before Callie could say anything else, Arizona once again locked their lips in a heated kiss.

"What do you say we move this to the bedroom?" Arizona asked once they broke the kiss.

"Gladly."

The next day, Arizona woke up early and got ready for work.

"Calliope, I'm going to work." Arizona whispered to the barely awake Callie.

"Mhm." Was Callie's response.

"Have fun with Mark today."

"What?" Callie asked confused.

"You're hanging out with Mark today, remember?"

"Oh right, I am."

"You okay? You seem a little out of it."

"Arizona, it's six o'clock in the morning, I'm always out of it at this time."

"Right. I'll see you later tonight. Love you."

"Love you too."

Later on as Arizona was headed into surgery, she decided to text Calliope. When Callie still hadn't answered the text by the time her surgery was over, she decided to text Mark.

'Hey Mark! R u guys having fun? Just wanted 2 know what u were doing. Calliope is not answering my text.' -A

Mark was sitting in his apartment watching a movie, when he heard his phone beep signaling he had a text. Seeing it was from Arizona he quickly read it and contemplated what to say. He decided to keep it simple.

' At the movies. Callie has phone off. She says sorry and she loves you. Got 2 go, bye." -McSteamy

"Callie, I really hope whatever you're doing is worth lying to Arizona." Mark thought.

When Arizona received Mark's text, she couldn't help but laugh at Mark's nickname. Arizona was glad Callie was spending time with Mark. Although they hadn't seen eye to eye in the beginning, Arizona and Mark had grown closer over the past year.

Once she went back to work and was filling out charts, she received a text from one of her old friends that said she was in town and wanted to catch up over dinner. Arizona agreed and once her shift was over she met her friend in the lobby.

"Arizona! Long time no see!"

"I know. How long has it been? Like two years?"

"Yeah, around there."

"How have you been Rachel?" Arizona asked as she enveloped Rachel in a hug.

"Good. How about you? I heard from your mom that you have someone new in your life."

"Yup. Calliope Torres. She's an orthopedic surgeon here. How long are you staying for?"

"I'm not sure yet. Maybe a few days, but I'm definitely staying until I meet Calliope. Speaking of her… so Calliope huh? Interesting name."

"I love it, but don't let her catch you saying her full name. Everyone just calls her Callie."

"What would happen if I were to call her by her full name?"

"Let's just say I can't be held responsible for what she does to you."

Rachel laughed. "Point taken. So where is this woman that Barbara says is the one?"

"She had the day off so she spent it with her best friend Mark."

"And you're not worried or jealous? That doesn't seem like you."

"Trust me, before I would have been worried seeing as Mark used to be a man whore and he and Callie used to… you know but his recent girlfriend has tamed him. Plus, I have a bigger threat than Mark Sloan."

"Who?"

"Callie's ex-girlfriend, Erica Hahn. She told me she was after Callie. Of course she managed to convince Callie of otherwise by saying it was a misunderstanding but I still don't trust her."

"And you shouldn't trust her, but why don't you tell Callie that?"

"Because before she and Erica started dating, they were best friends and Callie just wants her friend back. I don't want to ruin that."

"What if Erica threatens you again?"

"Then I'll tell Calliope but if she doesn't then I don't see the harm."

"Fair enough. So where do you want to go to dinner?"

"I know this awesome restaurant, but can I go get changed really fast? I just live across the street."

"Sure."

After Arizona finished getting ready, they headed to the restaurant. They decided to walk since it wasn't far away. As they passed a small diner on their way to the restaurant, Arizona spotted Mark sitting alone, eating dinner. There was an empty seat at his table but no plate suggesting he was eating with someone else.

"That's strange" thought Arizona, "Calliope said she was going to eat dinner with Mark."

Thinking that maybe Callie bailed on dinner with Mark, Arizona sent her a text.

'Hey babe, what r u doing?' -A

It took a while for Callie to reply but after a few minutes Arizona's phone beeped.

'I'm having dinner with Mark, like I told you, why?' -C

When she turned around to look at Mark again, he was still alone.

'Just wondering.' -A

"Why would Callie lie to me?" She thought to herself as they continued walking.

"Arizona you okay? Why did we stop?" Rachel asked looking at her friend in concern.

"I'm fine; I just thought I saw someone I knew. Let's go eat." Arizona said as she worried why on earth Callie had lied to her.
