AN: So guys just so you know, in this story. I'm not going to rush Callie and Arizona being together as a couple but I may have them.. interact as more than friends before that comes. I'm not giving out hints yet but I need to keep the drama flowing.
It was seven o'clock at night and Erica wouldn't be hope until the morning. Callie gained the courage to go knock on Arizona's door. She knocked a couple more times. She sighed and leaned back against the door. Her body slid down until she was sitting on the ground.
She was over the moon about being engaged to Erica. If she didn't have her best friend to be there for her, how was she supposed to be happy? Arizona always cheered her up when Erica was gone or had upset her.
Callie went to back to Erica so many times because she loved her. Erica wasn't Callie's first woman. Arizona was. Callie found Erica to be amazing in so many ways. She was intelligent, beautiful, powerful, brave and strong. She fell in love with her after about the first month when she first got jealous over Arizona. She thought it was amusing to see how much Erica truly cared about her. No one had ever acted so protective over her and she liked it.
In the end, Arizona always happened to be the one to keep them together when they would fight. What would she do if Erica got pissed at her and left her? She wouldn't be able to move on. She needed Arizona for everything.
Callie knew she could talk to her about anything but Erica was a whole other story. She really never wanted to hear anything that wasn't about Cardio or them. It was disappointing but she could understand. Ortho may bore a Cardio surgeon. Maybe that was how it was.
She couldn't help but compare the two sometimes. They looked similar except Arizona was shorter, had more defined dimples, brighter blue eyes and one of the most amazing smiles Callie had ever seen. She shouldn't have been thinking about her best friend like that especially now since she was getting married.
The thought finally occured to her, the last day that they talked before today was the day that she finally proposed to Erica. What had happened that would cause Arizona to stop talking to her? She just couldn't put her finger on it.
Just as the thoughts had occured she noticed Arizona come around the corner to her door, which Callie was still sitting against. Arizona ignored her and unlocked her door.
"Arizona? Can we please talk about this?" She asked looking at her, pleadingly.
"There's nothing to talk about. We are no longer friends Callie because we can't be." Arizona said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yes we can. What's stopping us?" Callie asked her. She finally saw the defeated look in Arizona's eyes as she groaned.
"You're getting married, which means no more hitting on girls with me. It means no more drinking at night because you'll have a wife to come home to. Every night. You can't hang around another woman if you're married Callie. I'm pretty sure your fiance wouldn't want you talking to another woman who also happens to be lesbian." she stated harshly. "That you've already slept with countless times." She rolled her eyes and walked into her apartment, not closing the door. Callie took this as an invitation inside.
"Did Erica say something to you?" Callie asked. The question that Arizona didn't know how to answer. She tried to make up something but nothing came out of her mouth, so she just shrugged.
"I'm just thinking that we'll end up not being friends later so I guess it's better to start off earlier." She looked at her as she sat on the couch.
"Arizona, you can't throw five years of friendship away just because I'm getting married. You're supposed to be happy for me. You're supposed to be my maid of honor." Callie looked at her with tears in her eyes. That was Arizona's number one weakness.
"Callie... don't cry. Please. I'll be your maid of honor but after that we can't talk anymore. Okay?" She sighed as she came to the realization of what she had to say to keep Callie's marriage alive.
Callie raised an eyebrow. "No, you're my best friend so I'm not letting this go." She threw her one of her world famous smirks that always made Arizona smile. It worked it's magic.
"There's the smile I haven't seen for awhile." Callie smiled and poked her dimples. "Whenever you get married, the person who marries you is going to be the luckiest person on Earth. They get that smile when they wake up every morning."
Arizona blushed and looked away for a moment but shook her head and looked back to her. "That would actually be Erica who is the luckiest person on Earth because she's marrying you." She smiled. It was the truth.
"Arizona, you turn straight women gay. Including me, so I don't think I'm that great." She looked at her as Arizona laid her head on her shoulder.
"You could if you wanted to. Erica and I are both not straight so you really didn't give that a try." She smiled a little. "You should stay the night. I miss our sleepovers."
"Me too." Callie looked down at Arizona in her arms and smiled. She forgot how comfortable it was with her. They just always fell into place. Erica and Callie always took some time to get comfortable.
Callie didn't know if she made the right decision on who she was getting married to.
