Chapter Eight
Callie's POV
The sun was creeping into my bedroom and I automatically start to wake up. I look to the clock and see that it's almost seven in the morning. I'm not usually a morning person, but with Sofia I've become accustomed to waking up early…even on the weekends. I look next to me and the events of last night quickly come back to my memory. I can't help but smile thinking that my girlfriend – I think I'm gonna like saying that – is sleeping next to me soundly. I look over to the baby monitor and listen for any sounds of Sofia, but I hear nothing. I know that in about fifteen minutes that will probably change, but I close my eyes and try to get a little bit more rest before she wakes up. Before I can really return to my unconscious state I hear the front door open and I'm immediately on high alert, but then I hear Mark's voice…shit.
"Torres!" I hear him call out and I feel Arizona move next to me. I quickly try to wrap my brain around what is happening, but I hear his footsteps coming closer to my room.
"Callie, where is our little princess? She's usually up by now. I know you're not in there still sleep." He says while flinging my bedroom door open.
"MARK! I yell throwing a pillow at him towards the door.
"Oh, well what do we have here? Does that Arizona chick know you are sleeping around, I mean I know you told me that you're not official, but still. I didn't think you had it in you." He says looking at the other body in my bed.
"GET. OUT. NOW!" I growl at him and he closes the door. I look over to Arizona and see that she's awake and trying to comprehend everything that just happened in that last thirty seconds.
"I'm so, so, so, so sorry about that. I didn't think he would be here this early for Sofia. He usually calls or text first." I say to a still sleepy Arizona. Before she can respond I lean over and give her a quick kiss on the lips and go to my bathroom and put on a robe before heading out into the living room. I see Mark holding a bouncy Sofia in his arms when I open my bedroom door.
"Mark! What was that!?" I ask harshly.
"Well excuse me, I didn't think you would have company over this early in the morning."
"Exactly Mark, you didn't think. You usually call first or text so I can get her bag ready for you when you come over. What happened to that little arrangement, hmmmm?"
"Well I just got off a late shift and was across the way at the hospital. Plus I thought maybe we could have a Saturday breakfast with Sofia."
"Well I actually have plans with my girlfriend for your information."
"Wait, what?" He asks excited.
"Yeah, me and Arizona were going out to eat, and no you can't come with us. Enjoy your weekend with Sofia."
"I see you and Arizona made it official yesterday, huh? Wait…is that who is in your bed?"
"Duh, Mark. Look she's probably a little frazzled right now and it's basically seven in the morning. I need you to go." I say pushing him towards the door and giving Sofia a kiss on the cheek.
"Good work, Torres. I see I taught you well!" He says smugly.
"Bye, Mark!" I say closing the door. I take a deep breath and head back into my room. I see Arizona is sitting up against the headboard with a shirt on. "No, no, no keep your shirt off. You are so beautiful, Arizona." I say crawling back into bed.
"Well I was kind of unsure of what to do, and if he came back in here I wanted to have a shirt on." She says shyly.
"Well don't worry, we were both fully covered when he came in, and if he did see something I would wash his eyes out with soap!" I say trying to ease the tension.
"So does he just always bust into your place?"
"Yeah, pretty much…but I usually know when he's coming over so it's not so spontaneous."
"Hmm, well I heard you guys talking out there. He and Sofia could've come to breakfast if you wanted. I think I should meet him again in official girlfriend capacity." She says with a small grin. "Well what does 'girlfriend capacity' mean?" I question. "It just means that we are together for real. I'm really in this, Callie and I want Mark to see that and respect that. I also want him to know that I'll be around Sofia more I'm assuming, and I want him to be okay with that. I know you guys are her parents, but that doesn't mean I don't exist to the little girl." She says with confidence. "Well I think I can arrange a meeting with all of us. Maybe tomorrow we can have dinner here?" I ask suggestively. That sounds like a great idea, Calliope" She replies.
"By the way, that little speech was very hot." I say moving closer to her and laying down next to her.
"Really?" She asks wit ha raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, really" I reply and we kiss passionately. The rest of the morning is spent in bed fooling around, a long, hot shower, and a few cups of coffee before we head out for an early lunch. We hang out for the rest of the day together. In the afternoon we both get a little work done. Arizona with grading some papers, and me looking over some files from work and getting ready for next week. Come nighttime we decide to go out to Joe's and get some drinks before heading back to her apartment and spending the rest of the night together. The following day Mark came over with Sofia for dinner and every played nice…so far. There may be a little tension between Mark and Arizona, but mostly everything was cool. I think Mark was having a little bit of fun teasing Arizona at her expense, but I made sure to cut that quickly. Arizona said she was okay, and that's all that really matters. Over the course of the next week we say each other a few times, and Arizona even came to the hospital one night to have dinner with me. On the way out we ran into Mark and they actually had a good conversation so I think it's safe to say that they are getting along just fine.
It's been two weeks since our hospital dinner date and everything is good. Sofia is happy, I'm happy, and so is Arizona. Arizona has a faculty meeting at school and I'm on the over there now to meet her when she's done and go out to eat. I get to the school building and head to the classroom Arizona gave me the number to by text earlier. When I get to her room I look in the window and see she's chatting very closely with someone. I automatically go on alert, but tell myself to calm down a little bit and just see what's up. I knock on the door and go inside.
"Callie, you made it!" Arizona says while walking up to me and giving me a hug. I make eye contact with the woman behind her, still not sure what to make of her yet.
"Yeah, I told you I'd be here. How was the meeting?
"It was good, the usual stuff. There is someone I want you to meet." She says looking at the other person in the room.
"Callie this is Teddy, Teddy this is Callie, my girlfriend." That name rings a bell and I immediately remember she told me it was a co-worker of hers. I also recall that she told me that Teddy's boyfriend was a professional baseball player and I quickly curse myself for being jealous.
" Ohhh! Teddy it's nice to finally meet you. She's told me a lot about you." I say taking her hand.
"Likewise, Callie. Look Arizona I gotta go watch Henry play. Maybe you and Callie can come with me to a game one day?" She says walking towards the door.
"Yeah, that would be fun!" Arizona says before Teddy heads out.
"I'm starving. Once I finish packing up we can head out." Arizona says returning to her desk and putting some papers away.
"So she knows about us?"
"Uh yeah, Callie. You are my girlfriend. She's a good person and it's kept between us. I usually keep my personal life private from work, but I consider her a friend so it's okay."
"Oh okay, well that's good. So you ready to head out?"
"Yup! Let's eat!"
Twenty minutes later we are seated a table with our drinks and food ordered. We make small talk, but I can tell she has something on her mind, and I call her out on it.
"Arizona, what's up? You've been acting a little funny for the past five minutes."
"Nothing…" She says dismissively.
"Seriously, you can tell me."
"Well it's more of a question"
"Okay, I'm all ears"
"Well a few weeks from now is Thanksgiving and my parents called and said they were coming in town to celebrate and see my new place. My mom wants to make dinner at the apartment and I wanted to know what your plans were?"
"Oh, um I haven't really thought about it. I usually work at the hospital during the holiday. It's Sofia's first Thanksgiving, but she can't really eat all the solid food that comes along with the holiday. Truthfully, I haven't really thought about it." I reply honestly.
"Well do you think maybe after your shift you come stop by and maybe have dessert?"
"I don't see why not?" I say with a smile.
"Great. I know my parents would love to meet you!"
"Should I be nervous I mean I'm usually good with parents, but that doesn't make meeting them any easier."
"You'll be fine. My mom literally likes everyone, and my dad takes a little warming up to, but that's just because I'm his little girl and anyone I bring home to meet him is never going to be good enough for me…in his words" She says.
"Oh well, maybe I'll just have to change his mind about that." I say with a sly grin. Our food is promptly brought out to us and we eat, talk, and drink before heading back to our building. Once we get back we head go to Arizona's place for some late night ice cream, and some television. We start making out on the couch a little bit, but before anything too much can happen I'm paged back to the hospital for an emergency.
"Boo, you suck" Arizona whines.
"I'm sorry, babe but I got to go save lives."
"I know, I know, but it still sucks." She says walking me towards the door. I give her a kiss on the lips before I'm off to the hospital. Once I get into the residents longue and am changing into some scrubs I hear my phone go off and I see I have a message from Arizona.
I was really planning on having my way with you tonight. It's been a little while.
I know, I'm sorry. I promise to make it up to you soon!
You better! In the mean time I'll just have to take care of things on my own…
You wouldn't? Not without me!
Oh I would, and I am…
I gulp at the last message and I start to picture Arizona pleasuring herself.
You could send me a picture…
I bet you would like that, but it's better in person. I guess you'll just have to wait and see. Bye Calliope…have fun saving lives.
Before I can reply I hear someone yell my name and I lock up my phone. I need to see some blood to distract my mind from Arizona and the mental image I have of her in my head right now.
