A/N: Another chapter for you!


"Thank you, mom... But please do not need to tell about my birthday to anyone." Arizona requests Barbara.

"I mean..." Barbara fumbles a little.

"Moooom, I hope you didn't call Calliope." Arizona knows the dramatic nature of her mom.

"Calliope?" Arizona can imagine the smile on Barbara's face.

"Mom...stop it." Unconsciously she blushes a little.

"Okay..."

"You are impossible mom." when Arizona drops the phone forgetting the question she has asked, Barbara feels relieved. This girl is too much. Callie of course should know it- after all she is her wife. So, next thing Barbara does is to call Callie.

"Thank you, Barbara." Now she needs to buy something, which will surprise Arizona. If I can buy $5000 gift for Penny, then being Mrs. Torres, Arizona should get something super expensive. She will know today that she married Callie Torres- the Callie Torres, Callie thinks satisfactorily.


In the evening, as soon as Arizona comes home, she gets the biggest surprise of her life that Callie is at home. It's been few days that Arizona has joined the office and it has been an overwhelmingly busy week for her. Every day she would come home to find that Callie is off to her night adventure and when Callie crawls back to the bed by this time this is midnight. Arizona keeps telling herself that she does not care, she only wants to do what she is supposed to do. But, she cannot stop feeling possessive about Callie. The way Callie is total reluctant to her, it annoys her the most. She has thought that pervert Callie would not be able to resist herself and she would show some advancement. Now seeing Callie at home makes her angrier than ever. She doesn't know why she feels so mad sometimes,

"You?" Arizona looks at her wrist watch, "it's still not midnight." She asks sarcastically.

"I know, but just for today."

"What's in today?" Arizona sits on the sofa. In fact, it's somehow feeling good that Callie is home.

"Your birthday, wifey," Callie brings out a small box.

"Mom, right?"

"Doesn't matter, open it."

"What's in it?"

"Condom!"

"Callie!"

"Why don't you open it?"

"Uhh," Arizona does a little whistling looking at the black diamond necklace in the box. "It must be super costly." she comments holding the box.

"Of course, $10000 bucks, but not enough for a Torres." Callie leans back little more satisfactorily. "Wear it."

"Thank you, but I don't want this." Arizona simply starts grabbing her clothes to go to washroom. The box is still sitting in front of Callie.

"You are kidding, right?" Callie cannot believe that Arizona has just rejected the most expensive gift she has ever bought.

"No. I'm serious."

"Why? Didn't you like this?"

"It is beautiful but I cannot take this expensive gift, when I know that you do not earn. This is not your money."

"What? This is of course my money."

"This is from your family. All my friends' spouses buy gifts for them, even not this expensive, but no one is sitting at home like you." Arizona makes mocking tone.

"So? What's your point?" Callie is annoyed.

"I cannot take this gift from you as this not your money."

"Isn't it same if it was my dad's?"

"Then Carlos should give it to me. Not you."

"Arizona, you sound ridiculous." Callie closes the box with all her strength and threw that towards Arizona. "I spent my whole morning to buy this and now it's meaningless."

Arizona picks the box from a corner and replies, "can you earn $10000 if you spend your whole morning?" She asks in a soft tone.

"What?"

"Since you have never worked, you would never know how it feels when you buy something from that money for someone."

"What the big deal you guys do there?"

"Something which is not your cup of Tea... Anyways, keep it for your girlfriends... I need to change to go out."

As she turns back, Callie asks little surprised, "you are going out? With whom."

"Somebody who can pay my dinner bill."

"Eliza?"

"You got it Calliope." saying this Arizona steps in the washroom hoping that the dose is enough to drag that badass to office. But, suddenly she remembers that she needs to request Eliza to pick her up, as she is too tired to drive. Arizona opens the washroom door and listens Callie saying, "Please cancel the table."

Then after a little pause she again says, "my wife is not feeling well today. I will pay for the cake and flowers... No need to send them home." Arizona freezes at the spot. Callie has planned a dinner with Cake and flower?

From the washroom door too, Arizona senses the sadness in Callie's tone. She has known Callie for a very little time, however, she has never sensed this sadness in her tone before. And out of nowhere, Arizona too feels a kind of lump in her throat thinking how rude she was to Callie. A kind of lump builds up in her chest, which she has not experienced before. A kind of unknown feeling. But, the damage is done now. Arizona slowly closes the door again.


"Hey, why are you calling me now? You are supposed to be with your beautiful wife now." Addison asks checking out the time.

"My beautiful wife has gone with her beautiful girlfriend Eliza." Callie sings mockingly. "And here I'm lying on my ugly bed."

"Eliza is only her friend and did you even tell her about your plan?"

"Eliza is not only a friend. I will kill that doctor someday. She is drooling on Arizona even though she knows that she is married. And no, I couldn't say her about the plan." Then Callie explains Addison that how Arizona rejected her gift since that was not bought with her own earning.

"Hmm... Why don't you prove her wrong?" Addison takes a chance to instigate Callie.

"How?"

"Just come to office for few days and prove that these are all unworthy stuff those you do not need to do." Addison tries to push Callie for taking a challenge.

"I see there is a point."

"And about Eliza not seeing that Arizona is married, maybe, you need to make her see that."

"Ugghh... I married Arizona so that I can teach her a lesson but now it's me who is getting the lesson of going to office and being a wife." Callie says dramatically.

"At least Arizona will value you. First, you need to prove her that you can do all those things which other spouses can do."

"Addison, shut up. I think Mark is better than you. He does not ask me to do all these hard jobs."

"Because he is not your friend. He is sticking with you for free drink and occasional sex."

"Whatever… but nowadays there is no sex!... I miss sex." Callie rolls back on the bed.

"Why? Penny, Mark, George, Erika and other stupids….where are they?" Addison never has liked Callie's wild life.

"They are there… and I have no mood for sex, by the way."

"Ohhh!" Addison can imagine Callie's pouts, even though she cannot see her. "I guess maybe you just don't want to have it with…"

"Shut up!" Callie cuts her in knowing what she was about to suggest, "nothing like that…I'm just resting... taking a break from any hard job…"

"From when sex has become a hard job for Callie Torres?"

"Shut up".


"Okay…bye, I'll see you later." Arizona says a little guilty, somehow, she is unable to look into Callie's eyes.

"You don't need to see me later…" Calle replies not looking away from her video game panel.

"Callie…I'm…"

"You just go with your girlfriend." Callie's temper has started riding than ever. Usually, she is a cool type of person, who would care little about what is happening around, but today she feels like not into herself.

"She is not my girlfriend." Arizona says in stone cold voice.

"See, little do I care if you have or not. By the way, I wonder how come somebody even stand by you."

"What?"

"You heard me… you are just pretty, but do you think do you have any girlfriend like quality?"

"Callie, this is too much now…you are crossing your limits." Arizona's eyes at the barge of water. She is just trying not to let them come out in front of this heartless woman.

"You know what, you go out with anybody…I don't care… please leave quickly, so that I can call Penny to have little fun."

"Don't you dare to bring any one in my bedroom…." Arizona almost yells.

"This is my bedroom too…I'll bring whomever I want and will f…" Before Callie could finish, she is at the receiving end of the tightest slap, the second tightest after the first and both are from the same person.


A/N: Only ONE PERSON in your life can slap you thousands of times… and still you would want them to be in your life… like the way you breath in and out! like the spell that you don't want to break!
