So I'll hope you like this chapter as well as the rest. Dinner with a quite mature Mark is ahead for Arizona in this chapter. You might be surprised….

CHAPTER 32

Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand

Take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you…

"Oh God!"

Arizona moaned and arched her back where she was lying in the hotel bed. She was about to scream out her orgasm any minute now. Callie was working her magic using her tongue with such intensity that Arizona was sure of the fact that even the guests living on the floors both above and under them could hear the almost animalistic sounds she was letting out. But no matter how hard Arizona Robbins tried to keep it down it just wasn't possible in that specific moment. With all the strength the blonde possessed she managed to lift her head an inch and open her eyes to see Callie's head move under the cover between her legs. She felt the release coming closer and closer, sneaking it's way up, in and out of her and when Callie flicked her tongue with more pressure and force her body took over completely. Arizona's whole body twitched and she threw her head back and forth, pushed her hips up in the air and screamed it all out in a series of wild whimpers. Riding the orgasm out against Callie's delicious tongue she tensed one last time before she collapsed and fell backwards on the mattress trying to catch her out of controlled breath.

"Oh God, oh God oh Gooood!" she breathed out heavily and threw one of her hands up to cover her mouth.

Only a few seconds later Arizona could feel Callie move and crawl up her body under the cover. The blonde lifted her head just in time to see Callie make her way out of the cover with a cocky smirk written all over her face.

"Wow!" the brunette said proudly. "I'll bet you one hundred dollars that every single human being living in this hotel heard you coming. Loud and clear."

Arizona blushed furiously and grunted.

"Shush you! It was all your fault anyway…"

"Well, it wasn't sounds of complaints I heard", Callie stated firmly and smiled widely.

"God no!" Arizona exclaimed and leaned up to kiss the brunette hard before she fell back at the bed again. "That was the most intense orgasm I've EVER had in my whole life!"

"Yeah, I sort of heard that", Callie said teasingly and plopped herself down beside the blonde.

Arizona slapped the brunette's arm and pouted.

"Stop that!"

She leaned over and hovered with her lips just above Callie's with a seductively expression on her face.

"You love when I make sounds like that", Arizona whispered. "In fact, it's the most sexiest thing you know. When I moan, pant, scream and whimper your name, all of it drives you crazy. I know it does because I just love when YOU do just the same."

Before Callie had the chance to answered the blonde captured her lips, shoving her warm and wet tongue in her mouth, forcing her to part her lips to Arizona's demanding kiss. Moaning softly in to the blonde's mouth Callie couldn't do anything but agree to everything her girlfriend just had said. It was true. Seeing Arizona's facial expressions during their intimate times or hearing her moan out her pleasure was more than enough to drive Callie out of her mind. The round they just had finished had been to make up for the lunch-sex that never had taken place. Teddy and Bailey had stopped them outside the New York Presbyterian Hospital just as Callie and Arizona had tried to sneak out and get a hold of a cab. They had been determined to make the couple joining them for lunch and much to both Callie's and Arizona's dismay there was nothing they could come up with or say to get out of it. That had led to an afternoon with sexual frustration and as soon as they were released from their seminars Callie and Arizona had been in a rush to get back to their room to catch some alone time before the evening's upcoming events were about to disturb.

They had always been very sexual and physical with each other in the past. Whether it had been quickies in on-call rooms or long drawn out sessions in the privacy of their own bedroom at home, they had always made sure of being close and intimate with one another. But neither one of them could remember that it had ever felt this good or mind-blowing to be sexually close. It was like a whole new world of emotions, just waiting to be explored and the atmosphere around them was electrically charged with every touch or move they made. Just one look could lead to a never-ending marathon between the sheets that could last for hours and hours and sleep hadn't exactly been their top-priority since they had arrived in New York. Both of them had never been so mentally or psychically connected to anyone before and if anyone had told Arizona Robbins, when she had been in Africa, that this that was happening right now was going to be her future, she would've laughed them straight in their face. But here she were, in the arms of the woman she had come to love more than life itself or more than some stupid Carter Madison-grant, she suddenly realized what it felt like to happy.

"Where did you go?" Callie asked. "You seem like you were miles away just a moment ago."

Arizona laid her head down on Callie's chest. The blonde seemed to fit perfectly just under Callie's chin.

"I love you", Arizona said somewhere out of the blue.

"I love you to", Callie said tenderly stroking the soft skin of her girlfriend's back. "Are you okay?"

"More than okay", Arizona whispered reassuringly in response and snuggled even closer to the brunette. "I'm just so happy, that's all."

Callie kissed to the top of the blonde's head and hugged her tightly.

"Good. Cause I tend to keep you this happy for as long as I live. And just so you know, I'm happy too."

Arizona couldn't help but smile when she heard the words coming from Callie's lips. Everything they had worked so hard to keep and restore was back again.

"When were you going to meet up with Mark?" Callie asked still whispering with her lips in the blonde's hair.

"Seven. What time is it?"

Callie eased herself away from Arizona to get a look on her iPhone's display so she could read the time.

"I think we better get moving then. It's 6.30 pm. I promised Teddy and Bailey I would join them for dinner now that you weren't attached to my hip for the evening."

"Hey!" Arizona said trying to sound a little insulted. "I'm perfectly capable to manage without you for one evening."

"I know you are baby", Callie replied and swung her legs over the side of the bed. "But I'm not."

Arizona giggled and moved in the bed and got on her knees next to the brunette.

"I promise to make up for lost time when I get back."

The blonde popped a light kiss on Callie's shoulder.

"Mmm, you better", the brunette sighed. "Now, how about a quick shower or even better, a quickie IN the shower?"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Mark Sloan was nervous. And Mark Sloan was never nervous. He couldn't actually believe that the reason for his butterflies was Arizona Robbins. That perky, little blonde pediatrician surgeon apparently meant more to him than he was willing to admit. Wandering around the hotel's lobby he waited for her to come down and meet him. Mark had thought about a million things he wanted to say to Arizona during this dinner just to make sure he could get back and stay on her good side this time around. He had known Callie for quite sometime now and had been forced to see and help her get through several times of heart-breaking moments but he had never, ever seen her so happy since the day Arizona Robbins had entered her life. Although he knew that the blonde and himself were very different in so many ways and that they had had their share of arguments in the past he wanted to make sure that she knew that he appreciated her as well.

"Wow. You look like you have the whole world's weight on your shoulders."

Mark jumped at the words coming from behind his back.

"Oh hi", he said. "Are you ready to go?"

Arizona looked suspiciously at him before she answered.

"Yes. Let's!"

Mark led her through the main door and as soon as they were outside the hotel they started walking side by side in an awkward silence.

"It's nice out tonight", he said tentatively.

"Yes Mark", the blonde laughed. "It is. So, where are you taking me?"

"Callie told me you are a big fan of Indian food so I've managed to locate an Indian restaurant down this street. If it's okay with you I mean?"

"It is more than okay! I LOVE Indian food! Lead the way!"

Mark seemed to relax a teeny, tiny bit when he noticed how laid-back Arizona was towards him. Maybe she wasn't going to bite his head off after all?

A few moments later they found the restaurant and inside a waiter who showed them to a table for two just by the window welcomed them. He gave them the menus and left them alone to decide what they wanted to order.

"You want some wine?" Mark asked cautiously. "White?"

Arizona raised her eyebrows and smiled widely at him.

"Well, you have certainly made your homework. White is fine. And I already know what I want to eat so if you're ready to we can order."

He gave her a small smile back and nodded.

They ordered their food and as soon as the waiter served them their wine the atmosphere between them eased a bit.

"Look Arizona", Mark started. "Before you say anything I just want you to know that I am so sorry. About everything."

Arizona started to say something but he stopped her.

"Just hear me out here first, please?"

The blonde was silent and leaned back in her chair and waited for him to continue.

"I've known Callie for years now. She is definitely one of my best friends. Derek has to watch out I tell you."

Arizona smiled at his last comment and was suddenly very eager to hear him out.

"I just…" he continued. "It's just that I've been around long enough to see her get hurt many times. I'd be lying if I told you that I didn't love her but it has nothing to do with more than friendly love. We're friends. Best friends. Maybe we have misused that friendship from time to time though. Because it's hasn't always easy to help each other out in difficult situations. The talk we have most of the time hasn't been there when things has been going bad for us with our relationships. Instead we have jumped right in each other's arms and used sex to try to heal ourselves."

Arizona listened carefully at every word Mark Sloan spoke.

"And I know that I'm not the most sensitive guy there is and that I also can be quite irritating from time to time. But you have to believe me when I say that I've never wanted to come between you and Callie. The fact is that I've never seen her so happy with anyone before as she is with you. And for that, I want to thank you and show my respect."

"Are you done yet?"

Mark tensed for a second at the blonde's question but he then realized that there was no anger in her voice at all. The tone she used was soft and friendly.

He moistened his suddenly to dry lips and nodded.

"I know all that Mark", Arizona said and looked him straight in the eyes. "The problem has just always been that we, me and Callie, haven't been able to communicate properly with each other in the past. But that's our problem and it has nothing to do with you. It has just been really hard for me to accept that even though she couldn't talk to me about things that concerned our relationship, she had you to talk to. And I was just afraid of that she would wake up one day telling me that she had realized that it was you she was in love with and not me."

"But that's crazy!" Mark blurted. "Every one can see how much she loves you. And always have loved you."

Arizona fired off a shy smile at him and blushed slightly.

"I guess was so busy worrying about everything that I didn't see it", she admitted. "What I meant to say was that I guess I should be saying I'm sorry to you to."

"I was so angry with you when you left her and went to Africa", Mark confessed. "She was a complete wreck. And I just wondered how you could have been so stupid that you didn't see what you two had."

Arizona sighed and closed her eyes for a second. Just then the waiter came with their food. They started eating in silence.

"I made a mistake", the blonde said with a broken voice. "And I didn't see it. Because I had never experienced it before. The love, I mean."

Mark looked intensely at her.

"You realize I'm going to kick your cute little ass all the way back TO Africa if you hurt her again?" he said with a small laugh.

Arizona let out a small giggle.

"You even have MY permission to do that."

Mark chuckled.

"Great. It's a deal."

He placed one hand over hers and squeezed it in comfort.

"I'm glad you're back. And I'm glad for you and Callie. And I'll promise to behave in the future."

"It's good to be back", Arizona stated. "And I am glad we talked Mark. I can see why she loves you so much. You're a good friend."

"Don't overdue it Blondie", he replied with a twinkle in his eyes. "Tomorrow I'll say something stupid and teasingly again and then you can go back to hate my guts again."

"I'm sure you do", Arizona smiled. "I'm sure you do."
