Enjoy!

Ever since having the night out with Arizona, Callie had been having some disturbing thoughts about her attending. Sure, she had admitted out loud that Arizona was hot-who would deny that? But that wasn't the problem. Every time Callie looked at Arizona or even thought about her, it brought a smile to her face. Any time she saw the color blue, it reminded her of Arizona's eyes.
The most difficult of it all was that Callie had the urge to kiss Arizona every time she saw her. Whenever she saw the blonde, her mind would go into thoughts about pushing the blonde against the wall and having her way with her. She is your attending and you are just a friend, she told herself repeatedly. Callie needed a distraction from all those thoughts and it arrived in the form of her boards. It all started when she had just rocked her hip replacement when the Chief approached her.
"Ah, Torres, nice work with the hip replacement" He commented and Callie grinned back.
"Thank you, Chief"
"Well this is going to look good on your boards which I assume you have started to prepare for?"
"Uh-the boards? Ah, yes, Chief."
"Good" With a pat on her shoulder, he left. Callie's mind went into overdrive. She hadn't even started studying for her boards! Shit. She went to the locker room and she reflected on how she could start studying without wasting another minute.
Callie went in search of Mark, the person whom she was going to ask to become her study partner. He was her best friend and he was going to help her study. She found him in the cafeteria, talking to Arizona and Teddy. She quickly joined them and she ranted in Spanish.
"Toda mi vida está arruinada, Mark (My whole life is ruined, Mark). No he estudiado y ahora voy a fallar.( I didn't study and now I'm going to fail.) Por favor,me puede ayudar? Tú eres mi mejor amigo. Por favor.( Will you please help me? You are my best friend. Please."Callie whined tugging on his elbows.
"Uh, What?" Mark looked completely bewildered. "As much as I'm finding this hot, can you please speak in English?"
"Sorry" Callie said meekly and she attempted to speak in English. "My boards are in a few months and I haven't even started studying" Callie rested her head on the table and Mark rubbed his hand on her back to calm her down.
"Oh, so, that's what all the Spanish ranting was about? I thought you were saying some dirty stuff to me in Spanish to have your way with me" He teased and Callie looked up and shot him a glare.
"So, are you going to help me study or not?" She asked him to cut off his dirty teasing. She wasn't in the mood for it. Callie glanced sideways at Arizona and she smirked lightly at how the blonde was staring at her. She turned her attention back to Mark.
"I would love to help you Cal, but not tonight. I have a date with Lexie" Callie became dejected and she banged her head on the table.
"I'll help you" Callie looked up in surprise when she heard Arizona speak. A slow grin started to form on her face when she heard what Arizona had said.
"You will?"
"Sure, I would love to. I mean I have no plans tonight. None whatsoever. So, yeah, come by place at nine and I'll help you study. I'm an excellent study buddy." Arizona grinned, dimples popping and Callie couldn't help but smile back.
"You are a life-saver. Thank you" They both continued to smile at each other and Callie could feel herself getting lost into those blue orbs. Callie could feel the intensity of the stare and she wanted to break it but she couldn't look away-it was like she was hooked to it. Their gaze was broken when Mark cleared his throat.
"Great! Problem solved. I'll see ya later, Torres." He patted her shoulder with a knowing smirk and Callie blushed. She followed him, leaving Teddy and Arizona behind.
"Want to tell me what was all that about?"
"What?" Callie tried to act innocent.
"You making all those goo-goo eyes at Blondie?" Mark snickered and Callie rolled her eyes.
"I don't know what you are talking about" Callie muttered, steering him into the O.R. floor. He stopped and looked at Callie incredulously.
"Seriously?"
"What? Okay, yeah, we were making goo-goo eyes at each other. Happy?"
"Ooh, yeah. And you are going to her place tonight to "study". I bet there is going to be a lot of "studying"" He started laughing and Callie smacked his arm. Just as his words escaped from Mark, her mind started to imagine things.
Oh God, I'm going to her place! Shit.
X-x-x-x-x—x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
After completing two successful surgeries, Callie went to her apartment and got her study materials and she thought about bailing because all day she had been having dirty thoughts about Arizona, thanks to Mark. She finally made her decision and she decided that she can control herself for a night.
She took a huge breath as she knocked on Arizona's door. "Just a minute" She heard the blonde yell from inside and she adjusted her hair while she waited. The door opened to reveal a flustered looking Arizona, whose face was all wet. Her eyes were puffy and it looked like she was crying.
"Come in" Arizona welcomed her with a smile and Callie noticed that it didn't reach her eyes. She looked at Arizona's apartment and she wasn't surprised. It was painted in bright colors and Callie could bet that her bedroom was pink. She looked at Arizona again and somehow she couldn't take her eyes off her.
"You okay?" Callie asked quietly as she dropped her bag. "I'm fine" Arizona smiled but she wasn't fooling Callie. Arizona motioned for her to join her on the couch and Callie sat across from Arizona. Arizona pulled out her phone and she brought it to her ear and she switched it off with a grunt.
"So, let's get started." Callie pulled out her book and they got started. Callie couldn't help but notice that Arizona seemed a little distracted.
"You hungry? Want something to eat?" Arizona asked after a little while. She had come up with a new study system and she called it "The Robbins" Method. Callie laughed at the name but she was glad that Arizona was helping her out.
"Uh, yeah, sure"
"I'll order some pizza. Pizza sounds good, right? You like pizza? Or I could order something else and I'm sorry but I can't cook and-"
"Arizona, pizza sounds great" Callie cut her off as the blonde started to ramble. She found it way too adorable.
"Okay, then" Arizona reached for her phone and played with her hair as she dialed and ordered. "Pizza will be here in twenty minutes" Arizona smiled and Callie smiled back.
Arizona checked her phone again and she frowned and threw it back on the couch. Callie looked back and forth between the blonde and her phone and she raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong?"
"I have called my best friend like five times and all the time it's going to voicemail." Arizona grumbled. Why wasn't she picking up?
"Why do you badly wanna talk to her?" Callie enquired but the blonde just covered her face with her hands and groaned. When she removed her hands, Callie was shocked to see that tears were in those blue eyes.
"Hey what's wrong?" Callie scooted closer to the blonde. Arizona shook her head and tears started spilling from her eyes. "It's nothing" She quickly wiped those eyes and she knew she wasn't fooling Callie.
"Arizona, talk to me" Callie said softly and Arizona broke down. Unsure of what to do, Callie put her arm around Arizona and pulled her closer. Arizona buried her face into her chest and stained Callie's top with her tears. Callie stroked Arizona's hair as the blonde continued to cry. After the blonde's sobs died down, Callie pulled the blonde up and looked into her tear-stained face.
Arizona was walking down the food aisle when she heard her ex-girlfriend's voice. Wanting to avoid an awkward encounter, she hurriedly turned around only to come face to face with Joanne. She was laughing and Arizona was hurt when she her holding hands with another woman.
"I love you" She saw Joanne tell the other woman and they kissed. Arizona felt hurt seeing her ex-girlfriend with another woman. Joanne pulled from the kiss and she turned and saw Arizona standing a few feet away from them. Arizona dropped the can she was holding and without looking at Joanne she quickly walked out of the shop.
"Arizona, wait" She heard her ex-girlfriend call from behind and she came to a halt. She turned to look at Joanne who was standing a few feet away from her.
"What do you want, Jo?" She spat and Joanne recoiled from Arizona's tone. She took a few steps closer to the blonde.
"I'm sorry, Zona" Joanne whispered and Arizona stared back at her. Seeing Joanne with another woman didn't bother her but hearing her tell "I love you" to another woman right after a few days they had broken up had hurt. Realization dawned on her.
"How long were you cheating on me?" Arizona asked quietly and Joanne looked at her, stunned. She hesitated a moment before answering.
"Before we moved to Seattle." Joanne answered and all Arizona could do was nod.
"Tell me everything." Arizona said after a few minutes of silence. Joanne didn't answer and Arizona looked at her with hurt evident on her eyes.
"No, Zona" Joanne denied and Arizona's anger flared.
"You were cheating on ME, you whore. I deserve to know the whole story." Arizona spat.
"She was a client. Rachel. We met occasionally and things started to heat up. I told her that I had a girlfriend and I left. We then moved to Seattle and I saw her again. We met a few times and then it happened. I'm so sorry Zona, I didn't mean for it to happen. I did love you, Zona, believe me."
"You know, all this time, I was worried that I was the one who was making a mistake when you were CHEATING ON ME!" Arizona yelled and threw her hands up in the air.
"Zona-"
"Fuck you, whore" Without a back glance, Arizona started her car and went back to her apartment before she could break down.
Callie was stunned when she heard Arizona tell it. She continued to stroke Arizona's hair who had just broken down into another round of tears. Callie let her ruin her shirt without any complain. Callie was getting angry at the bitch who had broken Arizona.
"I'm sorry" Arizona said pointing to Callie's shirt which was ruined with her tears.
"Hey it's ok" Callie gave her an assuring smile and she continued to stroke her hair. Just then they heard a knock on the door and Callie pulled away and got up to answer it. She paid the pizza delivery guy and she placed the pizza on the table and turned to Arizona.
"Would you mind if I kill her if I ever see her?"
"What?" Arizona laughed and she bent forwards to take a slice of the pizza. "I'm serious" Callie replied back and thanked Arizona when she handed her a slice.
"Would you do that for me?" Arizona asked softly and Callie smiled at the blonde.
"Yes"
"Thank you, Calliope" Arizona pulled the brunette into a surprised hug. Arizona wrapped her arm around her neck and Callie dropped her slice and she put her arms around Arizona's back and was intoxicated by the blonde's scent. It smelled like strawberries and Callie loved it.
Callie smiled at Arizona when she pulled back and Callie hesitantly reached forward and tucked a strand of hair behind Arizona's ear. Arizona smiled at the gesture and placed her head against the couch.
"I'm not sad about the break-up. I'm just mad that she cheated on me. Why would she do that? We were in a relationship for three years for god's sakes. We were in a committed relationship and she just cheats on me. I just don't get it" Arizona sighed.
"She is a bitch. You deserve a lot better than that stupid whore"
Arizona laughed quietly and she reached for Callie's hand. "Thank you, Calliope" Arizona smiled and squeezed her hand.
"Anytime" Callie replied back and after a few minutes of comfortable silence, Callie went back to studying. Arizona rested her head on the couch and before she knew it, she was asleep. She dropped forward and placed her head on Callie's lap. She dropped into a peaceful slumber and Callie just smiled and went back to studying.
Arizona could feel her head being lifted off and she groggily opened her eyes. She heard movement beside her and she saw that it was the Latina.
"What are you doing, Calliope?"
"Uh, Hey! Go back to sleep. I was just leaving. Thank you for the study time. I'll call you tomorrow, okay?" Callie smiled at the sleepy blonde. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were groggy from sleep but nonetheless, she still looked beautiful according to Callie.
"No, it's late" Arizona cut her off and she reached for phone and looked at the time. Yep, it was definitely late. She was still mad that Addison hadn't returned any of her calls. "Just stay here, alright. You can sleep here on the couch or you can sleep on my bed. I'll get you something that you can wear. Just, stay" Arizona requested and Callie couldn't deny her.
Arizona bought her sweats that were short but that fit her. She agreed to sleep on the couch and Arizona said goodnight and she went back to her bed. Her mind was still in a haze and she thought she was going to breakdown but to her surprise, she didn't. She looked at the time, and saw that it was past midnight. Just another day, she told herself and went back to sleep.
X-x-x-x-x
Sunlight hit her face and she threw the comforter when she heard the faint sound of someone knocking. She yawned and went to open the door when she saw the Latina sleeping peacefully and it made Arizona smile. She looked at the time and saw that it was a little past seven and she groaned internally when she realized that she her shift started in an hour.
Her visitor knocked again and she rolled her eyes as she went to open the door. How the Latina could sleep when her morning visitor was knocking the hell out of the door, Arizona wondered. Her mouth fell open in surprise when she saw the visitor. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Happy Birthday!" The loud yelling woke the Latina up and she cranked her face to see who was at the door this early in the morning.
"Addison." Arizona breathed out, still in shock.
X-x-x-x-x
Yay, Addison's here! I love Addison. The whole break-up thing was written on a personal experience.
Callie seems to be falling for Arizona?
