Behind the Scenes

Chapter 3 "Is That It?"

Arizona's POV

Love scenes are awkward bottom line. No matter if there are tons of people on set or just the director and a few extras. It's uncomfortable and weird, and you always wonder if your breath is ok. I have never been able to get out of my head in an intimate scene, well until my scene with Calliope. I have only had a few scenes with her after our very talked about bathroom kiss. I mean not only the fans but people on set cant stop talking about what a shock it was, and also how hot Mark Sloan keeps saying it is. Im glad we are getting positive feedback from most, although I never really thought we wouldn't. Times have changed and yes there are still people who cant get over themselves, but the fans of 'Surgeons' have pretty much dealt with everything so this doesn't seem to be a huge deal.

Today we are shooting a scene with one of my new favorite people on set, Alex Karev. He comes off as an ass but we really hit it off in a weird way. I wasn't expecting to see Callie on set today, but there she came strutting through the doors of the soundstage. She is stunning, I mean I have seen my fair share of actresses but this woman gets better everyday. It's a little bit intimidating. Im still not sure why im so nervous around her sometimes, we have gotten a lot more comfortable with each other recently. I guess a dirty bathroom kissing scene makes you a little more comfortable with someone. "Dude, stop drooling we are about to start." I snap out of my Callie haze and see Karev with his trademark smirk. "Shut up, I was not drooling." "I don't care, I agree with Sloan, it's hot, and she drools over you too." My face immediately turns red, Callie Torres is not into ladies, and if she were which she's not, she is not into me. "We work together that is it, Karev, stop being a perv." "Whatever, lie to yourself I don't care."

Callie gives me that amazing smile and a small wave as she sits in the back of the room. I suddenly feel nervous, Callie has this spell on me and whenever she is around I can't think straight. The director is ready and we dive into the scene. After what feels like forever we finally are done and im proud I only messed up the medical jargon a couple times. You really do get used to saying the medical terms or you tape your lines on all the props like Karev. I look around but Callie must have left after the 100th take. Im done for the night and I think about my first scene with Callie as I walk to my trailer.

Flashback:

Nervous is not the word, I had no time to prepare for this. Callie just told me minutes ago that our first scene is going to be a kissing scene. I have no clue what to do, I mean my personal life is my business, but its not like it's a secret Im gay and I would never want it to be. I just don't know if that will make a difference to Callie or not, and I know its probably crazy to be worried about this, when I have to go out and kiss the sexiest woman ive ever seen in my life. Great, now im rambling in my head and annoying myself. Callie was already on set when I arrived and she looked amazing as always. We were using the stage used for Joe's bar, it's a little weird actually getting to be here after watching for so many years at home. I am excited to finally get to work with Calliope but for some reason this kiss has me so stressed out. I think if I just block out that it's the amazingly hot hot hot Callie Torres and just (for lack of a better phrase) Kiss the girl, everything will be fine.

I do a few shots at the bar, basically drinking water meant to be vodka and smiling, then its time for the kiss. I go through my lines in my head I have them down, that is not the issue. The director yells action and my body goes on autopilot, I say the right words I do everything right and then the kiss happens. Ok, a kiss happens but sparks do night fly, I don't see fireworks, this isn't the best time of my life. I would have been elated that this was nothing special before because then I would have been able to work and not been a nervous wreck everyday, but for some reason I was just disappointed now. I'll admit I was so caught up in delivering my lines and making sure my angle was right I barely paid attention to, barely kissing Calliope, but the way my stomach flips when I even hear her name cant be for nothing can it?

The director called cut and came over to us. I stepped back and smiled at Callie who looked a little confused maybe she expected it to be better as well? No, im really reaching here. "Alright, ladies that was great, everything went well, but maybe we could make the kiss a little less of a peck. I don't mean go crazy' but maybe make it just a little more meaningful, im gonna skip the dialogue we can just add this later if it's what were looking for." I got back into my spot and when the director yelled action I finally looked into Calliope's eyes….I hadn't before I had been in my head like I always am, wondering if I was saying my lines the way I should, and if I was at a good angle for the camera.

This time was different, I looked in her eyes and the world stopped, gravity pulled me to her and I had The kiss. Im talking about the kiss you have when you know this is the only person you want to be kissing for the rest of your life. It wasn't drawn out or too much, it was simple and perfect. Her full lips were so soft, yet firm at the same time, she smelled like, well what I assume heaven smells like, I knew I was a goner in that moment. I felt her let out a small breath on my lips and it made every hair on my body stand up. I didn't even realize the director had yelled cut and was beside us, telling us that's exactly what we needed and we could leave.

I don't think Callie really got it either, because she just stood there staring at me, her eyes flashed a shade darker which immediately made me think very bad bad thoughts. I walked to my trailer silently beside her, not knowing exactly what to say. I was pulled from my thoughts when she told me goodnight, I just watched her go in her trailer. I wasn't sure if it was just me or if that was something that never happens, except on TV. All I knew was that Calliope was the only thing on my mind and I had no idea what was on hers.

Callie's POV

Today is my day off and I intend on making good use of it, by doing absolutely nothing. I work long hours and when I get a chance to just lounge around the house I take full advantage. Im actually watching TV and flipping through channels laughing at the absurd things that really make it on the air, when I stop on a rerun of 'Surgeons'. It just happens to be the episode my character meets Arizona's for the first time. I was so nervous when I found out our first scene was going to be a kissing scene. At first, I was confused because of how excited I was, but then I just started only being nervous. Arizona was beautiful and sweet and so talented. I may have gone back and looked at everything she had ever been in after meeting her. It's not stalkerish it was….research. Anyways, I was totally freaked out about kissing her and then the director yelled action we kissed and it was fine. I mean I felt a little disappointed because I had hyped it up in my head so much but it was just alright. Then the director gave us a different approach, and I saw a flip switch in Arizona. Im not sure if it was only me that felt it but that was the best kiss, hell the best feeling of my life.

Her soft pink lips felt amazing but it also felt like the energy coursing through both of us was almost too much to take. I couldn't breathe and we had barely even kissed. Im sure she felt the same, im not sure how I knew but I did. We walked back to our trailers together and I couldn't even begin to put into a sentence what I was feeling. I didn't know what this meant for me and I didn't care. I knew kisses like that, feelings like that, don't happen often. I wanted to stop and throw her against my trailer and kiss her like she had never been kissed before but I also knew I could easily be the only one feeling this way and cause my self serious embarrassment. I've only worked with her a couple times since and I was really anxious to see if we would have anymore kissing scenes, I almost felt like I needed to do it again to see if it was maybe just a fluke.

I went to refill my wine glass when there was a knock at my door. I opened my door to the best sight a person could ask for. Arizona was standing on my door step with a bottle of wine and a smile. "I was gonna call first, but I just decided what the heck, ill show up and take my chances. I think I was right….by going with the element of surprise?" She looked at me sheepishly like she thought she may have come at a bad time, it was adorable. "You were right, and id let anyone in with a bottle of wine that expensive." I gave her a smirk and led her into the living room, I was so happy she was here but I was also really taken back. Tonight could be very interesting.

A/N: Yep, things are going to start getting very interesting indeed. I will try and get an update in tomorrow, thought id throw this last one out for tonight to see if this story should keep going.
