Chapter 5
Arizona wakes up when she feels something heavy is laying on the stomach. Not opening her eyes, she fumbles with her hands to see what is that heavy thing. Then, she realizes that it is Callie's leg- she has put her entire leg on Arizona's stomach.
"Calliope?" Arizona sits on her side bashing the leg off her stomach.
But, Callie has no response, she is sleeping like a rock. Arizona looks around- it is already morning. "Such a baby." Somehow Arizona finds sleeping Callie adorable. Arizona never has thought of getting married but she always wanted someone in her life with whom she could wake up early in the morning, with whom she can discuss her day planning, with whom she can be only herself. Arizona always has lived a classy life, she had friends who would only talk about projects and bagging high profile jobs. Sleeping Callie, who looks so messy at the moment makes her realize how different they are. She resists a temptation to remove the bangs from Callie's forehead. Instead, she gets down slowly from the bed- she needs to get ready for the first day of office.
"I know that we have not spoken about your living arrangement, but we need to discuss about this," Lucia says in a pleading tone at the breakfast table.
"I don't want to move out," Callie interjects stuffing her mouth with a full spoon of oats.
"This depends on Arizona," Carlos comments.
"Okay, if she wants to stay alone, let her go. I have never moved out before." Callie says with a naughty smile and takes a big bite from her banana. "Why would I go to a different place leaving my home?"
"Stop it Callie... Now you are married." Lucia shoots a mom-glare to Callie.
"That is the reason that now I don't want to move out- staying alone with Colonel Arizona? She will make me march morning and night." Callie makes a scary face secretly eyeing at Arizona, then she takes a big bite of her sandwich as if just to prove how scary it would be to live alone with Arizona.
Arizona, in fact, is finding the whole conversation amusing. She has started liking how these people interact with each other. Surprisingly, she laughs at Callie calling her Colonel Arizona and more shockingly she has started liking Callie's miniatures.
"Lucia, it does not matter." It really does not matter as Arizona's parents do not live in Miami and Callie's house is as big as a palace. So, there is no problem of privacy too. Aria goes to medical school in Seattle and so there are literally 4 people in the house. Oh! There are helpers also. Arizona has never seen this part of life where there are 5/6 helpers for 4 people. "And you have not seen my Colonel part yet…wait for the best!" Hearing this, Callie only winks with a playful smile.
"You sure?" Carlos asks concerned.
"I'm sure. I have no intention to raise a big spoiled brat all my myself going to a separate house." Arizona finishes the sentence looking at Callie.
"The feeling is very much mutual, wifey. I have also no intention to march day and night under Colonel Arizona."
"Calliope?"
"What?"
"You know what?"
"You also know what?"
Lucia and Carlos move to the pool area leaving them fighting with each other.
"Why are you smiling?" Carlos rubs Lucia's arms. She really seems to be satisfied now.
"Didn't you notice?" Lucia is still grinning.
"Illuminate me, Mrs. Torres!"
"They were calling each other in a different way. Callie was calling her 'wifey' and she was calling her 'Calliope'. Callie hates when people call her with that."
"And they were fighting too." Carlos also starts smiling.
"Yes, but a very couple like fighting. I think, they are enjoying these names." Lucia turns to Carlos, "don't you think so?"
"I'm still under shock the way you made them marry each other and I still don't see anything out of that." Carlos never wanted to take this risk but he did this for Lucia's happiness.
"I see that... I see the blooming relationship... You know, I was worried too, but I don't know, I just followed my guts. And now I know that things will work out in between them slowly. I thought they will start pulling each other's hair, but you see how they are trying to making playful conversation with each other."
"But, Lucia, you know that Arizona's reason for marrying her is a very calculative one. I like her but business and marriage do not go together, you know!" Carlos looks away from Lucia.
"Carlos, is it okay if we think positive for next few months before…" Lucia does not finish the sentence.
"Okay, Lucy…" Carlos rubs the back of his wife. He will do anything which makes Lucia happy.
In the dining room, Callie and Arizona are still fighting with each other.
"Anyways, you cannot afford living alone by the way!" Arizona starts getting up.
"Hah! Do you know how much I have in my account?" Callie gives a lopsided smile, "your whole year's salary is even not half of that."
"Yes, of course, because I earn them."
"What could I do, my dad is rich. By the way, you are lucky too that your dear wife is rich."
"My wife is not rich… her dad is. You are a loser."
"Why a loser?" Callie seems to be curious instead of furious.
"Because all you have your dad's name!"
"Everyone has… by the way, do you have someone else's name?" Callie gives her most devilish smile exposing all her teeth.
"Calliope… if you remove the surname Torres from you, you are good for nothing. Have you ever earned anything in your life?" Arizona is trying to hit Callie's ego so that she starts going to office, instead she is becoming angry herself. It seems to be impossible to talk to a person, who is so happy living like this.
"I don't need to… and what do you even do in office? You go, sit and sign paper."
"Do you think so?" Arizona asks folding her hands.
"See, wifey… I don't get what you are trying to say. But be happy that marrying me made you the director of the largest group of industry. Just enjoy yourself and work hard so that my account never stops." Callie gives another of her annoying smiles.
"It is impossible to talk to you." Saying this Arizona leaves for her first day of office. Now she has bigger things to do. She wants to prove her abilities- she has only a year to do so.
As Arizona leaves the dining hall, Callie comes back to her room and lies down on the bed looking at the ceiling. She doesn't know why she has those weird feelings in her stomach. While she was talking to Arizona, she could not take off her eyes from her. Arizona was looking so stunning in blue business suits. she is married only for a day by now and already she feels Arizona has started taking over her. On this thought, Callie quickly takes out her mobile and starts calling Mark. She needs to get back to her heels. She is Callie Torres- she cannot feel this weak about a woman, she barely knows even.
"Mark, on for tonight?"
"Cal, I'm always on." Mark replies enthusiastically, the asks, "how was the night?"
"Good." Callie answers quickly. She knows what Mark is asking.
"How did she taste?" "Mark, stop it." Unconsciously though, Callie is not liking the way Mark is talking about Arizona.
"She is sooo hot…"
"MARK!" Callie also gets surprised the tone she has right now, but she cannot help it, "one more word abut her, I'll not stop kicking your bastard ass."
"Okayyyy….but I'll ask you again." Mark never knows to stop. "See you at the bar."
In the office, Arizona's first meeting really goes well. Suddenly, there is so much of power in her hands. However, she needs to learn many things, more than anything, she needs to find out the problems about which Lucia was worried that they were losing the shares gradually. Callie's best friend Addison also works in the same office and Carlos has asked Addison to help Arizona out in the first few months.
"So, how is everything with Callie?" Addison asks during their coffee break in the afternoon.
"You know your friend, right? I don't know how you guys are best friends." Arizona really finds Addison a great worker. She sounds so knowledgeable about her work and helpful too.
"Arizona, Callie is a wonderful human being."
"Hah! Yes, you are talking to her wife, by the way." Arizona rolls her eyes.
"So, you consider yourself as her wife?" Addison teases a bit. Except Carlos, Lucia and their lawyer, only Addison knows about their one year contract thing and the purposes behind that. Callie too doesn't know about the contract.
"Ohh…no..I mean…" Arizona stammers, trying to find words.
"Arizona…relax… I know that this marriage is a business deal for you… I think Callie will not be a bad person to live with… you just need to leash her a bit." Addison likes Arizona and she does not want the marriage to end after a year. So far she has seen Arizona, she can tell that Callie could not get anyone better than Arizona. She needs someone who can play equally with her. Arizona has that exact opposite persona of Callie- they could easily balance each other.

It is like one of those stories… So, I would like to keep the story locked between her and me… this will be only our story!
