Behind The Scenes
Chapter 6 "Party Like a TV Star?" Part One.
Arizona's POV
Im running late. Great way to start off a night intended on celebrating, well…me. I didn't think id be interested in going out with the cast. They tend to have a reputation on set, and it seems Callie has experienced this side of things more than id like to think about. The thought of my girlfriend getting wasted with a bunch of overly attractive people makes me want to hit a wall, no a person, actually whatever's close by. I smile to myself as I walk into the front door of "Franks", my girlfriend. I have only had a short amount of time to get used to that term and now im going to have to hide it from everyone. I know we agreed to not tell anyone for a while, but I cant help wanting to tell anyone who will listen that im dating Calliope Torres. I know its fast, but ive always been intent on doing what's appropriate, and not rushing into anything too soon. The crazy thing is, with Callie it's extremely too soon, but feels so completely right id do it all over again in a heartbeat.
When I enter "Franks" im greeted with a lot of yelling and cheering from the only group in the entire place. "Nice Blondie, you look hot." Mark was the first to approach me. "Mark, I know im new, but ill drop you." I laughed as everyone lifted their glasses and took a drink. "That's right McPerky let him know how it is, now get over here and get a drink." Cristina drug me to the bar and ordered me two Tequila shots, I was in for a long night, and an even rougher morning.
The bar was filled with my cast members, but there were no other people at all which seemed weird, I also hadn't spotted Callie yet. I was trying to not seem too obvious but I was starting to worry something was wrong. "Don't worry, she's almost here." Mark leaned in and gave me a quick smile. Im glad someone knows about us because that just helped my nerves a lot. "So why are we the only people in the bar?" I was still thrown off. "Because normal people get bat shit crazy over us." Cristina flat out said, like it should have been obvious. "That, and some of us don't like pictures of ourselves, wasted all over the news the next day." Meredith Grey had walked up to do another round of shots with us. I liked Meredith, we had a few scenes together recently and I thought she was very nice.
I have only been here about 45 minutes and Im already drunk. The rest of the cast are making their way in and Cristina has invented a game that involves a shot anytime we call someone by their first name. I am failing miserably because I can't keep up with all the nicknames. I am trying to keep track of everyone I have met so far, Owen is Cristina's boyfriend and he seems great. I knew Derek Shepherd, we had done a few small projects together before. I didn't know he was married to Meredith now, I guess I don't keep up with the latest celebrity news. Lexie was Meredith's younger sister, and the object of a lot of stolen glances from Mark Sloan. Teddy had just walked in and was forced to down almost a tray of shots, poor thing. Looking around the room I saw Alex talking to April Jackson I had just met her this week, and there was a very handsome man I assumed to be Jackson Avery, I hadn't had any scenes with him at all yet. April seemed to have a lot of enthusiasm…a lot, but I had a good time on set with her.
I turned to see everyone raising their glasses and taking shots, at this point I wasn't even concerned with who it was I just took my shot from Cristina and downed it. "Its about time she got here, she knows we don't start the real party until everyone gets here, always has to make an entrance." Cristina put her shot glass down and got a very wicked smile. "Time to party bitch." With that she ran over and was leaning over the bar. What the hell is going on? I turned and looked to see who Cristina had been talking about.
Its like everyone in the place just faded away the only thing I see, the only thing I want to see is her. This is what is going to kill me, its official. Calliope Torres will be the death of me. The raven haired beauty looked like she walked straight off of a magazine. She was perfection. Her long wavy black hair fell over her beautiful tan shoulders. Her dress fit her so perfectly I could see every detail of her body without having to imagine at all. The deep plunging neckline showcased her perfect breasts and made my mouth go dry ,but somewhere else seemed to be extremely wet. Her eyes were dark and smoky and her lips were a deep red that did things to me I needed to stop thinking about before I took her and left my own party.
A slight cough pulled me from my trance and I saw Mark looking expectantly at me. "I was staring huh?" I knew I was but who could blame me? "You were staring and drooling, but I get it." Mark shot a quick glance Lexie's way, not quick enough for me to not catch it though. "Torres, come here!" Mark yelled at Callie over the now blaring music Cristina had turned on and was dancing like a crazy person to with Meredith on the dance floor. They were hilarious together; I guess their friendship isn't really as strange as I first thought.
Callie touched my arm and I felt my heart rate speed up immediately. "Hey Arizona, you look amazing." She gave me a wink I don't think anyone else would have been able to notice but me. "Callio-….Callie, you look like you should be on the red carpet right now, not at my little party." I gave her a wink back im not sure mine was a subtle though. "I don't know who you are trying to impress, we all see you everyday, I said 9!" I didn't even see Cristina leave the dance floor and pop up beside us. "I know, I know, I had something come up last minute." Callie looked at the floor briefly, avoiding my questioning gaze. "Well, im sure you did miss Hollywood, but now its time to drink." Cristina ran to the bar to get more drinks im sure.
"So Arizona, how has it been the first few episodes?" Derek joined the group and handed me a drink. These people sure could throw em back. "It's been amazing im having the time of my life!" I really did mean that I loved working with these people, maybe a certain drop dead gorgeous Latina more than others though. "Good, im glad to hear that." "Do you think your ready for all the women throwing themselves at you, our fans are hardcore." Cristina must not have a filter at all. "Cristina! You can't ask things like that." April was clearly drunk and her trying to defend me was cute. "Its ok April, I don't think women will be throwing themselves at me Cristina, but thanks for adding to my ego." I gave a big grin that usually puts everyone at ease. "Oh I don't know you'll be surprised what 'fans' will throw at you when they find a character they like." Callie gave me a devilish smirk and I almost forgot we were keeping things quiet. The urge to put my hands all over her body was almost turning painful.
Everyone had been drinking for what felt like days and it had turned into someone just yelling out a random question and people drinking if it applied to them, if they were paying attention. "Okay, Okay I got one. Drink if you can dance better than Callie." Cristina was completely trashed and barely got her question out before falling off of her bar stool. Owen didn't even blink he just picked her up and sat her right back down. I couldn't help but giggle and take a sip of my drink without realizing what I was doing. "Ohhh, a challenge, I think Arizona…yeah, Arizona….thinks she can dance better than…you…Cal…Callie." Teddy was so done for she had to keep squinting to she who she was even referring to. "Uh, no, no I was just taking a drink." I tried to use my dimples to get me out of it, but Callie had a dangerous sparkle in her eye, and before I knew it she was dragging me to the dance floor. What have I gotten myself into?
A/N: Okay I know I know…I will get Part Two posted soon.
