AN: Thank you all for the reviews I got. I tried to update yesterday, but for some reason it wouldn't let me upload.
So I finally saw the wedding episode. I didn't like that they combined MerDer's wedding with Calzona's. They should have done the two weddings in different episodes, but that's just my opinion. I'm just glad that both couples got married. Anyways enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 18: Lies, Lies, and More Lies
Arizona was awake when Callie got home.
"Hey, why are you still awake? I thought you would have been asleep by now." Callie said as she got ready for bed.
"I just wanted to wait up for you."
"You didn't have to do that."
"I know but I wanted to. So… how was your day with Mark?"
"Oh… uhm it was great."
"And dinner?" Arizona asked giving Callie one more chance to tell her the truth.
"It was delicious."
Arizona couldn't help but be disappointed that Callie was lying to her. As Callie fell asleep, Arizona found herself struggling to fall asleep wondering what to do about Callie lying to her and why Mark would agree to help Callie lie to her.
The next day, Callie and Arizona walked into work together. Once they went their separate ways, Arizona immediately went to find Teddy. She found Teddy on the Cardio floor with a patient so she waited outside the room until she was done. Once Teddy walked out of the patient's room, Arizona grabbed her arm and dragged her away from any prying eyes.
"Whoa! What is wrong with you?" Teddy asked as Arizona dragged her away from her patient's room.
"It's Callie. That's what's wrong."
"Uh oh. You used her nickname. That is not good." Teddy knew when Arizona used Callie's nickname, something was wrong.
"She lied to me."
"About what?"
"Yesterday she told me she was going to hang out with Mark all day and it wasn't true."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure!"
Arizona went on to explain everything that happened, unbeknownst to them, Erica was listening in on their conversation.
Later that day, Arizona was checking up on Katie (who had just had her heart transplant surgery and needed to be monitored) when Erica walked up to her as she was leaving Katie's room.
"So I'm surprised." Erica told Arizona.
"About what?" Arizona replied, trying to at least be civil with the woman.
"That you let Callie hang out with me all day yesterday."
Arizona, caught off guard, desperately hoped the shock didn't show on her face.
"You're lying." Arizona said as she tried to stay calm.
"Am I? Cause Callie and I made plans for yesterday on Thursday when we met up at the bar. She did tell you about that right?"
"She told me you met up at the bar but she said nothing of making plans with you."
"I wonder why she didn't tell you. She told me you knew about it but then again, she told me not to mention it to you. Oops. I'll see you later Arizona." Erica said as she walked away.
Arizona's mind was reeling. While she was trying to process everything in her mind, Cristina walked up to her.
"Hey. What was all that about? Was she bugging you again?"
"Uhm, Callie told me she spent yesterday with Mark but I know that was a lie. Erica just came up to me and said she was with her. She said they had made plans on Thursday but I shouldn't believe her right?" Arizona asked.
"Uhm…" Cristina replied.
"Uhm? What does uhm mean? That doesn't sound good!"
"Look Blondie, I don't know how to tell you this but on Thursday I was at Joe's and I saw Callie talking to Erica and some other chick so of course I went to eavesdrop. I only caught the last of their conversation but that last part was Erica asking Callie to hang out on Saturday and Callie agreed."
"So it's true? I can't believe she would lie to me like that."
"Hey calm down. Maybe they were just hanging out as friends. Maybe nothing happened."
"Yeah maybe you're right. I shouldn't jump to conclusions. I should just let it go."
"Are you crazy? I didn't say to let it go. Callie still lied to you, and even if Callie was hanging out with Erica as friends we both know Erica was not thinking that. You should show that bitch who she's messing with! Nobody tries to steal your girl and gets away with it!"
Arizona was speechless. She just stared at Cristina with her mouth open and eyes wide.
"What?" Cristina asked innocently.
"Nothing… it's just I didn't know you felt so strongly about this."
"Well Erica made my life a living hell. I figured it's time she gets what she deserves."
"Okay but I don't think violence is the answer… for now. What if Calliope was just trying to look out for me? She knew I would get jealous if she was hanging out with Erica, even if it was as friends."
"Whatever. I still say you should kick her ass." Cristina said before she left.
After Arizona finished everything she needed and didn't have a surgery for another half an hour, she decided to go find her beautiful girlfriend. She found her with her back facing towards Arizona, so Arizona decided to try and scare her. Just as she was about to get closer, she heard Callie talking.
"Hmm. She must be talking on the phone. It won't hurt to just listen." Arizona thought.
She could just make out what Callie was saying.
"I can meet you around six tomorrow. I get off at five." Callie said as she sighed. There was a pause before she answered again.
"Nothing is wrong; I just don't like this sneaking around."
There was another short pause.
"Of course I don't want Arizona to find out."
Arizona's eyes widened. "What doesn't she want me to know?" She thought.
"If she found out that I am -" Callie cut off as she turned around to find Arizona there.
Arizona tried her best to look like she hadn't heard any of the conversation.
"I got to go, bye," Callie hung up the phone, "How long have you been standing there?" Callie asked fidgeting with her phone nervously.
"Not long," Arizona lied, "I just got here a few seconds ago. So… who was that on the phone?"
"Uhm… my father."
"Oh, okay. What did he want?" Arizona pretended to believe Callie.
Callie looked relieved that Arizona seemed to believe her.
"He just wanted to check in, see how everything was going. So what are you doing here?" Callie asked, giving Arizona a quick kiss.
"Just came to visit my amazing girlfriend before my surgery."
"How much more time do you have to spend with said amazing girlfriend?"
Arizona looked at her watch. "About ten minutes."
"So how was your surgery on Katie with Erica?"
"Fine. We didn't talk to each other much. It's still a bit awkward."
"At least you didn't get into an argument or something."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
For the rest of the time they talked about how their day was going so far before Arizona left for her surgery.
AN: Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Remember, reviews make me happy and they also inspire me to update faster (Hint, Hint) ;)
