All I can say is STAY STRONG guys! Hang in there. And I know, easier said than done! After thinking about last Thursday's episode, I think this is the best FOR NOW! They need to heal and find theirselves again and the only way they can truly do that is serperately. Here's to hoping Callie finds Arizona in joes bathroom at the end of this season! Haha
Chapter 40
"Erica. What are you doing here?"
Turning her glass of red wine up, she gulped it down quickly, sitting the now emptied glass on the table and swiftly grabbing another off the waiters plate as he was passing by. Offering the drink to Callie, the brunette held up her hand declining the drink. "I could say the same thing, Cal." Erica said, walking closer to Callie.
"This is my high school reunion." She said stoned faced. The last time she saw this woman was about two years ago, in the hospital parking lot making a scene.
"What are you doing here? What are you doing in Seattle? I heard John Hopkins locked you in for years?" Callie said, gritting her teeth.
"I'm surprised to see you, I've had a few cases this week at Seattle Grace, I've looked for you around the hospital all week." She said, sipping her wine. "I finally asked Cristina about you and she told me it was none of my goddamn business. I see someone is still yet to put that damn bitch in her place." She scoffed.
"Cristina did right, my life is not a gossip mill anymore." Mentally making a note to buy Cristina a bottle of tequila as a thank you, "I quit several months ago." Callie replied. But began wondering why no one warned her that the bitch troll was in town.
"You quit surgery?"
"No. I said, I quit Seattle Grace." She said, looking around the room hoping a different blonde to swoop in and save her.
"Wow, what's wrong Cal. You seem so..."
"Bitter?" She asked, crossing her arms. "How else should I be? All happy that you're standing here in front of me. We were friends, we hung out together, we had dinners together, had plenty of girls nights together. Hell I would have considered you one of my best friends." Callie said, getting pissed off. "Or or that was until you went around the hospital telling everyone I was your girlfriend. You had them talking behind my back and when I called you out on it in the parking lot outside of the hospital you tried to kiss me. What the fuck Erica?" She said getting louder.
"Callie.. Please." Erica said. Grabbing her by the wrist and pulling her out of the room. Her grip tightening when Callie tried to wiggle free. "Let me explain." she said, walking into a conference room in the hotel.
"What the fuck Erica? Let me go." She said, jerking her hand out of Erica's grip.
"Hear me out please?" She said, holding up both hands in defense. "Please."
"Hear you out? Why? Why should I? I tried several times to get in contact with you, I left pages, voice messages and texts but you wouldn't let me talk. I needed answers, It was like you fell of the face of earth. But yet here you are, so I'm going to ask one more time. What the fuck are you doing here Dr. Hahn?"
"I'm here with my boyfriend, Ryan. You went to school with him, I met him at John Hopkins a few months ago. I didn't set out to come here but had to come out for work and so I accompanied him here.
"And yet, you act like it's not a surprise I'm here. You knew I'd be here didn't you?" She said, crossing her harms over her chest.
"I may have seen your picture in his yearbook, but I didn't know if you'd come." Erica said, taking another drink of her wine. "Can I please talk now?"
"Tell me why the hell should I hear you out?"
"Because I want to say I'm sorry?"
"About?"
"Everything." She said, throwing her hands in the air. "I saw on the news where you and some other woman got attacked by some crazed murderer. I'm sorry Cal, I wanted to call you but I didn't know if I should. I wanted to be there for you, but I didn't know if you would let me."
"I wouldn't have. I finally have someone in my life that makes me top priority above all else. She took care of me, she held while I cried, reassured me when times were hell for both of us. I've never had that before with someone, and now I do and I don't need anyone else in my life especially someone that would run out when times get hard."
"Callie. I'm sorry. Okay. I'm sorry I said we were girlfriends when we weren't. I'm sorry I tried to kiss you in the parking lot, but most of all I'm sorry I up and left. I miss one of my best friends. I told you I didn't make friends easily but yet I made friends with you and I miss you." She said, taking her hand. "I'm sorry Cal, I truly am. I just want to be friends again. Can we go to dinner tomorrow night and talk?"
"I don't know.. I'm engaged to the most important person in my life and she comes before all else, Erica. I don't do anything without talking to Arizona first."
"She? You're getting married to a woman?" She asked hopeful.
"Yes."
"You need her permission before you go to the bathroom too?" She asked, finishing her drink.
"I'm done here." Callie said, turning around to exit the the room. Walking back into the space her reunion was being held, scanning her eyes around the room for Arizona. She wanted to get out of this place. "Don't touch me Erica." She said, jerking her arm out of Erica's hand when she felt long fingers wrap around her arm.
"Damn it." Erica said, looking down at her pager. "I've got to go." She said pulling out a card from her small hand bag. "Please, Callie. Think about it?" She said, handing Callie her business card. "Please, have dinner with me tomorrow so we can talk?" She said, walking out of the room.
Taking a seat at a table in the back of the room, Arizona sipped her wine while she waited Callie to come back in the room. She had been standing at the bar waiting on their drinks when she seen a tall blonde haired blue eyed woman grab her fiancé and pull her out of the room. Not being able to hear the conversation, Arizona figured it was an old classmate who just wanted to catch up, until she saw Callie try to pull away from the woman. At first she wanted to rush over and ask the woman what the hell she thought she was doing, but Arizona decided to give Callie space and let her handle it. Sitting at a table in the back of the room, she sipped on her wine as her eyes were glued to the entrance. Finally, more than five minutes later she saw the brunette walking back into the double doors with the tall blonde hot on her heels. Seeing the blonde grab Callie by the arm again and her fiancé quickly jerking away..again. Arizona stood up from her chair, wondering who in the hell that woman thought she was putting her hands on Callie.
Seeing, Callie accept something the blonde pulled out from her purse. Arizona made her way quickly to the door. "What's going on Callie?"
"Arizona." Callie sighed. "Where have you been?" She said anxiously.
"I could ask you the same thing Callie. Who the hell was that woman grabbing you?" She asked, looking in the direction Erica had quickly left in.
"Can we leave? Please?" She asked, grabbing her fiancés hand.
Seeing the distress on her fiancés face, "Why are you so upset? What did she say to you?" Arizona had no clue who the blonde was but the vibe she gave off did not sit well with her.
"Nothing, can we just go please?"
"Yeah okay, let's go." She said, leading Callie out of the hotel and into the car. Callie remanded silent as Arizona navigated her car through the city streets of Seattle. Lost in her own thoughts, she was determined to get Callie to talk to her about what had happened with the blonde that got her so upset.
"Where are you going?" The brunette asked as Arizona passed their house up.
"We're going to talk, I don't know what happened back there, Calliope but I want to know... I think I have a right to know. So we're going to your thinking spot as you call it and you're going to tell me why that woman had her hands on you, before I track her down and ask her myself." She said pulling up to the parking lot of the beach near their house.
"You do deserve to know." Callie said, getting out of the car and walking down the water with Arizona.
"Well?" Arizona said wrapping her arm around the small of Callie's back and slipping her right hand in Callie's pocket, feeling the card that the blonde woman had given her fiancé. "We're never been one to keep secrets Callie, so tell me about this." She said, pulling the paper from Callie's back pocket and handing it to the brunette without even looking at it.
"I'm not hiding anything from you, Arizona." Callie said as Arizona placed her hand back in her Jeans pocket again. "She gave me this because she wants me to go out to dinner with her tomorrow."
Tightening her jaw at the thought of this woman asking her fiancé out set a fire inside of her she didn't know she had. "Okay." She said, "I'm trying to be calm and understanding.. but the longer you're silent Callie the more my minds wondering." She said, stepping in front of Callie. "Do I have something to worry about?"
"What? No, God no. How could you think that after all we've been through."
"Okay. What should I think? Because I see you being pulled out of the room by some complete stranger and you're gone for five minutes and you come busting through the door with a look on your face that I've only saw one time in my life and that was when you thought I was seeing Teddy behind your back. So tell me what that was about then?"
Sighing, "I've not really talked about this with anyone besides Mark and Cristina." She said, looking up at Arizona. "That was Erica Hahn, she used to work at Seattle Grace as a Cardio surgeon until about two years ago and she up and left. We were really good friends, or at least I thought we were until that day." Callie said, looking out into the bay.
"Well what happened, Calliope." She said concerned, brushing back the stray hair that was flying in the brunettes face.
Sitting down in the sand, pulling Arizona down with her, "When she first came to the hospital no one liked her, she seemed cold and well.. heartless, but I had worked with her a few times and I saw a different side of her. Under her hard demeanor I saw that she was funny, smart and just in need of a friend. So I invited her out for drinks and our friendship grew from there. We did a lot of things together, we hung out after work, grabbed dinner, went to the movies... a few clubs even. Cristina couldn't stand it.. Erica would come over and hang out and Cristina would come home and be upset because she was there. Erica treated her like complete crap at work and she hated that she had to see her face in our home too. She tried to get me to talk to Erica, so that she would ease up on Yang, but I told her I wasn't going to get in the middle of it even though I knew Erica was being unfair to her. I told her to just give Hahn a chance and for a while she did for me." She laughed. "One day, her and Cristina had an argument over patient care and she told Cristina something about being my girlfriend. I'm not sure what she said, Cristina refuses to this day to tell me what exactly was said. And Erica wasn't one who cared what she said and where she said it and the nurses around there are not one to pass up over hearing an argument. So before I even knew it, word around the hospital was that I was with Erica. I was getting stares and looks and people stop talking when I walked into the room, I was clueless that Erica was behind my back saying more things. It was awful, Arizona. Not so much that people were talking about me. Because I could care less what others think, what hurt is that I considered her as a friend, a good friend... why would she do something like that? So maliciously. Did she really think we were a couple?" She asked more to herself than Arizona.
"Is she a lesbian?" Arizona asked, patting her legs, for Callie to lay her head down on her lap.
"No.. I didn't think she was anyway, we talked about guys all the time. Mark used to make jokes about us kissing or partaking in a threesome with him because we hung out so much. So after that we teased him about wanting to have a threesome with us. I don't know maybe I took it too far and she started feeling something? Now that I think back, maybe I should have saw something coming. She was in the elevator with me one time long before her and Cristina's fight and she said we should kiss in front of him to see what he does. I just laughed and brushed it off." She said, as Arizona combed her fingers through her thick hair, knowing it always soothed the brunette.
"Not long after Cristina's and Erica's fight, Cristina pulled me to the side and told me that Erica blurted out in front of a bunch of staff that she was my girlfriend and at first I didn't get it. She was a girl and a friend, hell this wasn't high school! Mer, Christina and Addie were my girlfriends you know. So I went on with my day and I didn't think anything else about it. But then I thought maybe Yang was just telling me that to get back at Hahn or something. But that was until I went to have lunch later that day. Mark pulled me to the side wanting to know why I hadn't told him Erica was the 'best sex I had ever had' in my life. I was floored. He started saying all these things, I was so blown away at all the things he said he heard." Sighing, "I feel like I'm just rambling on." She said, shaking her head.
"You're not. You're just telling me a part of your past that I didn't know and frankly I'm very curious to hear how it turns out. Well I know how it turns out, you're laying in the lap of a very hot blonde but that's besides the point." She giggled, leaning down and kissing Callie on her forehead. "It's very intriguing." She laughed.
"Story of my life." Callie said, reaching for Arizona's right hand and lacing it with hers before resting them on her stomach.
"Go on.. finish your story." She said, playing with brown hair.
"Well I was mad. First at Mark for falling right into the gossip mill like always and not coming and asking me out straight about it, he's worse than a woman. I swear." She laughed. "Then Cristina came back and told me that Erica was making brags that she bedded a straight girl. I was so livid. The gossiping and the drama in my life had just started dying down from my previous relationship, that's why I was out hanging with Hahn. Just having fun staying out of the spotlight ya know and there she was stirring up a bunch of shit I didn't need again. So I decided to confront her, but she was stuck in a seven hour surgery that afternoon, so I sat outside and waited for her to leave. And when she came out I confronted her. She first denied it, saying Yang was just running her mouth because she hated her. But I told her what all Mark said and her face started to flush and the next thing I know she was leaning in to kiss me." She said shaking her head at the image.
"Did?" Arizona swallowed, feeling kinda sick to her stomach thinking that woman's lips had ever been on Callie's. "Did you kiss her?"
"What? No. I told you, you were my first and only." She said, kissing Arizona's hand. "I pushed her off of me and asked her what the hell she was doing."
"What did she say?"
"That's when it got complicated." Callie sighed. "She said she thought that all the drinks after work and the dinners and moves and club nights were actual dates, and she was ready to take our relationship to the next step. I was so floored Arizona, I didn't know what to think. Here she was, basically professing her love for me and I thought all along she was just my friend. I told her that, that we'd never be anything more. Thinking back, maybe I lead her on with the joking around with Mark stuff."
"Not necessarily. I mean, hell. Teddy and I carry on all the time. Shit, we've kissed before, that doesn't mean she's a lesbian and she's after me or that I want her." Arizona said, smoothing Callie's hair. "Why haven't you told me this before?"
"I've not thought much of Erica since then, that was two years ago. I mean of course what she did hurt, she just up and left that night. No goodbye, no I'm sorry, hell, I would have even settled for a fuck you. But she just disappeared, she resigned from the hospital and was gone never to be seen again, until today." Callie said rolling over on her side looking up at her fiancé.
"What did she say to you today? I know it couldn't be good with the way you looked when you came back into the room."
"You know she had the gall to act like nothing ever happened? Who does that? Then she wanted to know why I was acting so bitter." She laughed. "So I asked her how I was suppose to act after everything she had done. Then she started apologizing, said she heard about my attack on the news and wanted to call and check on me. I didn't want to hear it, I couldn't stand and listen to her anymore so I left and she pulled me back and asked if I'd go to dinner with her so we could talk and that's when she got paged in and she gave me her card and left."
"What did you.. tell her?"
"I told her I'd have to talk to you first."
"You don't need my permission to do anything, Calliope."
"I know that. I just wanted to talk to you about it before I decide."
"Do you want to go?" Arizona asked.
"I don't know. I just want to know why? Why she went about everything the way she did. Maybe I'll call and ask if we can meet tomorrow. She wants to be friends again but I don't want that. I don't need people like that in my life."
"You deserve an explanation. But I will say.. for her sake.. she better not lay a finger on you again, because if I see or hear about it... playground Arizona is going to be out for blood."
"Oh yeah." Callie smiled. Sitting up on her knees and crawling up Arizona's legs. "Is that so?" She asked seductively. She loved how Arizona felt the need to protect her.
"Very so." She said, as her eyes darkened, yelping in surprise as Callie pushed her back on the sand and laid on top of her.
"Take me home.." She said, running her tongue over Arizona's exposed collarbone. "So we can celebrate our anniversary some more.
Going home after she told Arizona about Erica, Callie made a phone call to the blonde and agreed to have dinner with her so they could talk. Erica insisting on a fancier restaurant, but Callie put her foot down and picked something quick and simple, not wanting to spend a lot of time waiting on their dinner.
At work on Monday afternoon, Arizona informed Callie that she and Teddy were going out to have dinner and catch a movie and would be home sometime after her dinner with Erica.
Leaving the house around an hour after Arizona, Callie walked into the restaurant of a pizzeria in down town Seattle Monday evening, immediately seeing two sets of blue eyes hiding behind a large menu, she walked passed, ignoring the snooping duo.
Smirking to herself, she took a seat in the booth in the back of the restaurant about three seats away from Teddy and Arizona. It didn't bother her that they were there, she knew Arizona trusted her. It was Hahn that Arizona didn't trust, even though her fiancé didn't voice it, she knew. And if she were to admit it, she would probably be doing the same thing with Teddy and Addison by her side.
Hearing shuffling from behind her, she peered out the window, pretending to look out into the street. But her eyes were glued on Arizona and Teddy's reflection in the window as they quickly shuffle out of the seat and sat in the opposite side of the table to be able to see what was about to take place. Laughing to herself she decided to give her fiancé a ring and check up on her little date with Teddy.
"Teddy, you have to be quiet." Arizona whispered from behind the menu in her seat. They had just changed seats so they would be able to see Callie and Erica. "If Callie catches us here, she'll be pissed and think I don't trust her."
"Do you not trust her?" She whispered back, leaning close to her best friend.
"What?" She said glaring at Teddy. "Of course I trust her. I just don't trust that Hahn woman."
"Do you even know what she looks like?"
"Vaguely. But that's besides the point. If she puts her hands on Calliope like she did yesterday at her reunion I will bitch slap the troll into next week." Arizona whispered, hearing her phone go off. "Oh shit.. Where is it?" She frantically looked for her ringing phone. "That's Callie, oh god.." She said fumbling with her phone almost dropping it. "If she hears it she'll know I'm here. She was the one who set that ringtone for her calls."
Hearing Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake belt out the song 'Love Never Felt So Good' on Arizona's phone, Callie laughed hearing a loud whisper behind her.
"Calliope. Hi baby." Arizona whispered.
"Hey honey. I'm not.. Interrupting anything am I?"
"Oh no, I'm just sitting in the theatre with Teds waiting on the movie to start."
"Oh okay. Whatcha watching?" Callie asked.
"Oh.. Ahh.. It's umm.. The Best of Me." She said the first movie that came to mind.
"Aw babe, we were suppose to watch that together."
"I.. No no I mean..." She looked to Teddy for give her a name of a movie. Saying the first thing Teddy came up with. "I mean.. Annabelle. Sorry. I was just telling Teddy that you and I were planning on watching The Best of Me." Mouthing Annabelle to her friend, knowing Callie wouldn't fall for that.
"Annabelle? Babe you don't like scary movies, I can't barley get you to watch them with me." She whined. "Why did you let Teddy talk you into that, now I wish I was there too so I could hold you." She laughed.
"Me too, baby. You know Teds when she has something in mind, she goes for it.. I'm just along for the ride." She said, "Oww.." She said, when Teddy hit her.
"It was her choice Callie." Teddy said a little too loud. Causing Arizona to give her a death glare and silencing her with a hand to the mouth.
"Wow, something must be up with the cell service because I swear it sounds like Teddy's right here in the same room with me talking." She said, holding on her laugh.
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about you. Well listen Cal, the movies starting." She whispered. "I'll call you after the movie. Love you baby."
"Have fun without me. Love you too Ari." She said hanging up. And quickly sending a 'Miss You' text off to her fiancé.
"Oh my god, Teddy. That was a close call, you think she bought it?"
"Oh yeah, she's dumb enough to buy it... Oww... Why did you hit me?"
"First off, don't call my fiancé dumb and second that was for yelling out while I was on the phone with her. She said it sounded like you were in the same room with her. Thank god, she was dumb enough to believe it...Oww.." Arizona said grabbing her arm where Teddy pinched her. "What the hell was that for?"
"Don't call your fiancé dumb." She mimicked the same words her best friend just said.
"Okay stop. We have to keep quiet or we'll blow this whole thing. I swear to god Teddy if she finds out we're here and gets pissed and withholds sex from me, I'll put you on puke duty at work."
"Wha.. What if it's your fault she finds out? And besides that's April's job." Teddy smarted. She hated to deal with puking kids because somehow she always managed to catch it.
"I'll still put you on puke duty... It'll be like I'm punishing myself.. Because I'll stay far away from you, cause I don't want to catch that shit. And it's not April's job if I tell her Callie has requested her services for a month." Arizona told her, she knew Teddy acted like the stomach virus was the plague.
"You wouldn't,"
"Try my!" Arizona glared.
"I could just leave... That insures I.."
"Do you enjoy your life Teddy?" Arizona said to her friend.
"Umm yeah?" She said, wondering what kind of question was that.
"Well I suggest you sit your ass back down then before she sees you." She said, pulling Teddy back down in the seat.
"Why do I let you talk me into this stuff?" Teddy grumbled.
"Because you love me." Arizona said, playfully kissing her best friends face.
"Yuck, lesbian germs." Teddy said, wiping the wet kiss off her face as the waitress started their way to take their order.
"Want me to tell you where these lips have been today?" She giggled.
"Maybe somewhere similar to where my hands have been. I did see henry before I met you tonight." Teddy said, patting Arizona on the face with her hand.
"That's just disgusting." She said, before the waitress asked for their order.
"So what does this Erica look like?" Teddy asked after the waitress left.
"Tall and blonde." Arizona shrugged.
"Is she pretty?" Teddy asked, as she saw a few people enter the restaurant.
"Well. I don't really know. I didn't get a good look at her. All I could focus on was her hand on Callie's arm. The same arm that I have kissed every inch of." She said, staring off into space.
"Oh god." Teddy nudged Arizona. "Look at this thing coming. Wouldn't it be so funny if that was..." Teddy stopped as Erica stopped at Callie's table. "Seriously?" Teddy whispered. "She honestly thought she had a shot with Callie."
"Shh.."
"Does she know that Callie's with you?" Teddy whispered.
"Yeah, she knows Callie's engaged, but she doesn't know what I look like or at least I don't think so." Arizona said, still hiding behind the menu.
"How long are we going to hide behind this menu? We can't do it all night, how dumb would we look eating behind this?" Teddy said laying the menu down.
"Callie." Erica said, sitting down at the table. "I'm so glad you agreed to have dinner with me."
"That's all this is Erica. Dinner and nothing more, you understand that right?"
"Yes. I know." She laughed.
"So tell me how have you been?" Erica said, picking up her menu.
"I'm fine, thanks."
"So the chief offered me the head of Cardio job this morning. I think I may take it." Erica smiled.
"Why? So you can leave in the middle of the night again?" Callie scoffed. "No.. you know what, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." She said. Arizona told her to play nice, so that's what she was going to do.
"It's okay. I deserved that. I'll say it again. I'm sorry for every thing I did. All I can do is ask for your forgiveness and if that's too much for you, I understand." Erica said, laying her menu down to focus more on Callie.
"Will you just tell me why? Why did you do all of that Erica? You were my friend, did I lead you on or something?"
"No." She sighed. "I enjoyed your company and I was so comfortable with you and I considered you a great friend. I guess the joking and carrying on with Sloan got me thinking what it would be like to be with a woman.. with you. I mean your smart, funny and gorgeous."
Hearing Erica talk to her like that sent chills down her spine and it wasn't the feel good chills her blonde drawls out of her. "Why didn't you talk to me? Before telling the whole hospital behind my back we were seeing each other when we wasn't?"
"I don't know, it just came out before I gave it a thought and I'm sorry."
"I just wish you would have came to me."
"What would you have done if I came to you and told you I was having feelings for you? I was scared, Callie. And I didn't want to loose your friendship, but I did because of the way I went about it."
"I honestly have no clue what I would have done."
"I saw leaves with you."
"What?" Callie laughed.
"It's like my whole life I was looking at trees and I saw the leaves but those leaves were blurry and I didn't know they were blurry. But being with you I saw the leaves... I saw things for what they really were. It was like you were my glasses."
"What about Ryan?" Callie asked, having no idea how to respond to that and frankly she didn't want to know what she meant.
"What about him?"
"You're thinking about taking the job at the hospital again. Are you going to have a long distance relationship?"
"He doesn't matter, I want to be near you. I've missed you Callie." She said, reaching for Callie's hand.
"I missed you too. Well, not the you who left or the you that liked me but I missed my old friend." Callie said, taking her hands off the table and sitting them in her lap.
"Since I'm here laying everything on the table I want to be honest with you."
"Okay?" Callie furrowed her brows.
"I wasn't at the reunion with Ryan. I... I don't even know who Ryan is."
"What? Who were you with?"
"I overheard Mark and Montgomery talking about making plans and I heard her say you were going to your reunion on Sunday so I did a little investigating and found out there was a reunion at the Archfield yesterday."
"So you.. you lied. Again. You told me you were there with your boyfriend. But come to find out you were just.. what.. stalking me?"
"I didn't stalk you.. I just had to see you. I heard about your attack on the news and that's all I could think about for months and when I got the call that I needed to come to Seattle for a few days I knew I had to see you. But no one would tell me anything about you. One day I came out of the scrub room and I over heard them talking. So when I showed up at the hotel, I looked at the guest book and seen Ryan's name and went from there."
Shaking her head, "Wow." She laughed. "What was so important that you have to see me so bad Erica?"
"You're important. Don't you see?" Erica said leaning closer to the brunette. "You're all I think about, you're all I see when I close my eyes, you're all I dream about.. I came here to be with you. I love you, Callie." She said, pulling Callie in and planting a kiss on her lips.
Pushing the blonde back hard from the hold Erica had on her. "What the hell, Erica. I told you I was happily engaged yesterday." She said, standing up from her seat, Callie grabbed her purse. "You need to get some help because you are fucking crazy Erica." Callie said, walking out of the restaurant, not paying any attention to Teddy and Arizona whom were both looking with their eyes wide and mouth agape at the scenes before them.
Arizona was speechless, she had heard every word of the conversation and saw Erica touching and kissing Callie, confessing her love for her. She wanted to get up and attack Erica, but her body was just too stunned. "Is she really that delusional?" Arizona said to herself more than Teddy.
Trying to get up from her seat, Teddy kept a hold on her friend. "Arizona no, we come here too much, don't make a scene.. Just.."
When she saw Erica reach for her purse and stand from her seat. "Let me out Teddy. Let me the fuck out right now." Arizona said, quickly standing and cutting Erica off on her way out the door, "Where do you think you're going?"
"I'm going after my girlfriend, what in the hell do you think you're doing?" Erica spewed at Arizona.
"And just who would that be?" Arizona asked, glaring a hole right through the taller blonde.
"The woman I was having dinner with, now if you excuse me." She said, stepping to the side and walking out of the establishment.
Following quickly on her heels, Arizona and Teddy were out the door catching up tho Erica. "I don't know about you, but it looks to me she didn't want to have dinner with you. And dinner would consist of actually ordering wouldn't it?" Arizona said, walking side by side down the street with the blonde. She didn't know what came over her, she was never one for confrontations, but when Callie's involved she'd do anything for her woman.
"It's none of your damn business." Erica said, stopping in her tracks to look at the blonde.
"Oh.. but this ring on my finger.." She said, holding up her hand with her pink diamond engagement ring on it. "..says it is my business. I don't really know you and frankly from all I heard, I don't ever want too, but know this.." She said stepping toe to toe with Erica. "If I ever hear or see that you kissed her again, touched her, look her way or even speak her name.. your ass will be grass I'll the damn lawnmower." She gritted through her teeth.
"Listen, Arkansas, Phoenix or whatever the hell your name is." Erica said, shoving Arizona back away from her forcefully. "Callie's a big girl she doesn't need you standing up for her. She can make her own decisions."
"Hey, don't touch her." Teddy said, stepping closer to the little scuffle.
Holding her hand up to her friend to stop her, "No, you listen." Arizona said to Erica, pushing right back. "My name is Arizona. It isn't Arkansas, it isn't Tempe, or Flagstaff. It is Arizona Robbins." She said, still pushing the taller blonde back with every word. Not knowing Callie was standing around the corner watching the whole scene take place. "I know Callie doesn't need me fighting for her, she can fight her own battles. But I'm in her corner, and when she's not around to stand up for herself I'll stand up for her.. to anyone, anywhere and anytime. And if you think you're intimidating me by the way your 'trying'.." She said, using her hands as quotes. "..to glare at me, you're very wrong Dr. Hahn. That look may work on Cristina Yang or someone else that you think is below you, but it doesn't phase me on goddamn bit. I can give it right back just as good or better. I grew up on the playground with the name Arizona, I know how to play dirty. So if you stay in Seattle and take the job Webber offered you, I will make sure your life is a living hell." She said pushing Erica against the brick wall of the restaurant.
"Zo, that's enough.. Let's go." Teddy said, afraid that this might get out of hand. She knew when Arizona get going it was hard to stop her.
"No Teddy, no one kisses Calliope and gets away with it."
Seeing Arizona all angry, turned Callie on to no end. She had never seen this jealousy side of the blonde and she hated to admit but, was immediately aroused. "Arizona, no.. that's enough." Callie yelled, walking back to the group. Seeing the anger in her fiancés eyes, she knew she had to step in now before someone ended up spending a night in jail for a disturbance and she didn't want to sleep alone tonight or any night.
"Calliope huh? Well Calliope here kissed me right back, she wants me.. she always has. She just doesn't know how to get ride of your sorry ass." Erica piped up.
"You're fucking psychotic." Arizona yelled angrily, balling her fist up.
"Don't." Callie said, pulling Arizona back by her shoulders.
"Let me go, Callie." Arizona said, trying to break out of Callie's grip.
"Get her." Callie said, pulling Arizona back to Teddy. "Stop." She said, standing in front of her fiancé.
"Listen to her Sedona." Erica through over Callie's shoulder. "Cal, can we go someplace quiet to talk now?"
"What the.." Callie asked flabbergasted. Running her fingers through her thick dark hair in anger. "Are you serious. What do I have to do for you to understand that I don't want you Erica, it's never going to happen. So, I suggest you hop on a plane and get as far away from Seattle as you can and never show your face around here Hahn, cause when word gets around about your little mental problem you got going on, I'm sure everyone will run your ass outta here."
"If you'd just give me a chance." Erica begged.
"A chance?" Callie laughed. Stepping face to face with the blonde. "My lack of interest in seeing you is not a strategy. I'm not.. ahh.. I'm not playing hard to get, I don't want to see you. You were once my friend, but yet when things got tough, you walked away because I didn't want to be with you. You have shown me many times you're untrustworthy..so I don't want to see you. You're self-centered.. so I don't want to see you. I'm a hundred percent certain that if Arizona or I were to ever see you again, that her or I will be going to jail, so I don't want to see you. This isn't a ploy.. I'm not.. I'm not pouting, I don't want you in my life. Get your ass out of Seattle and don't ever look back." Callie said, reaching for Arizona's hand and leading them to the car.
"It's good that you're mad, Calliope." Erica yelled, "It means I still have a chance.. you still care for me."
Callie instantly froze when Erica called her by her full name. What in the hell was she going to have to do to get ride of this crazy bitch. She didn't like for anyone buy Arizona to call her that.
Feeling Callie's body tense next to her, Arizona had had enough of this crazy bitch troll. Turning around Arizona seen the shocked look on Teddy's face as she passed by her walking back up to Hahn. "You came here and win her over? She's not a prize, Erica. She's not some trophy you get to sit above your fireplace, she's not some possession you keep. She's a person... my person."
"But..."
"No." Arizona said cutting her off and holding her hand up in front of Hahn. "We're done here."
Smacking Arizona's hand away, Erica looks down at her trying to intimidate the smaller blonde. "Don't touch her." Callie shouted, quickly coming up to Arizona's side.
"Cal." Erica said, grabbing the brunettes hand and quickly spinning them and pressing Callie against the wall. Callie's face shocked at the move. "Tell me you don't feel it." She whispered close to Callie's ear.
Arizona was quickly on Hahn. Spinning the tall blonde around on her heels, she couldn't take anymore from this vicious woman. Before her mind even registered, she slapped Erica across the face open handed, as Callie quickly moved behind her smaller angry blonde. "No one puts Calliope in the corner." Arizona growled. Quickly taking her fiancés hand and scampering away their way back to the car, leaving Erica standing alone, holding her face.
"Oh my god.. that felt so good!" Arizona laughed when they got to the car.
"A dirty dancing phrase babe? Really?" Callie laughed at her fiancé.
"I've always wanted to say that." She bent over laughing, her adrenaline running through her veins ninety miles an hour.
"That bitch is fucking nuts." Teddy laughed.
"What the hell Teddy. You just stood behind watching everything. I had you tonight to have my back incase everything got out of hand."
"I'm sorry, but you know me. I love being the spectator. I was going to jump in when she pushed you but you halted me. Damn all I needed was popcorn!" Teddy giggled.
"You okay, baby?" Callie asked after their fit of giggles died down.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Are you?" She said, brushing the hair out of Callie's face.
"Yeah. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have came. I knew something like this would happen."
"Yeah you had to Calliope. You wouldn't have been you if you didn't give her a chance." She smiled.
"So." Callie said, leaning her butt on the car. "Care to explain why I saw you two in a booth giggling, whispering and hiding when I came into the restaurant?" She squinted like she was in anger.
"Oh.." Arizona said, slipping her hands into her back pocket of her jeans. "You saw that huh?" She said, kicking a small rock, never meeting her fiancés brown eyes.
"Umhmm.."
"I..umm.." Teddy stammered. Pointing back towards her car. "Well.. looks like you got everything under control now, Zo." She said patting her best friend on the back. "So... I'm going to... go now." She said, turning towards her car.
"Stop right there Theodora." Callie said, never taking her eyes off Arizona. Laughing when Teddy's turned around and gulped wide eyed. She knew when Callie got mad at her and Arizona's antics sometimes it was tough to get back on the brunettes good side.
"Oh god, there's Erica." Arizona turned her head and pointed, causing Callie's head to turn in that direction. "Run Teddy." Arizona said, running with her friend to her car trying to get away from her fiancé.
"Arizona Michelle Robbins." Callie yelled, still leaning on the car, knowing that name would get Arizona to stop dead in her tracks.
Hearing Callie call her full name out, she knew this couldn't go well. "Yes, love?" She said, turning around and giving her best dimpled smile. Walking back slowly to her fiancé looking down at the ground whole time.
"Arizona." Callie laughed, she couldn't hold up her facade any longer. "I'm not mad."
"You're not?" She said looking up to meet brown eyes.
"No, if I was mad I would have said so when I first walked in."
"I was afraid if you saw me that you would be pissed and think I didn't trust you." She said, walking up to Callie and placing her hands on her hips.
"I'm not pissed. I know you were there just to keep an eye out on Hahn. And I want to thank you for being in my corner." She smiled. Gently grabbing Arizona's face in her hands, she planted a soft kiss on her pink lips.
"I'm always in your corner." She said, pecking red lips again.
"So let's go. We're going to go watch Annabelle and pig out on junk food at the theatre.. I wouldn't want to ruin your movie plans." She smiled at her fiancé. "You in Teddy?"
"You buying?" Teddy asked.
"Nope. Arizona is.." Callie smiled.
"Hell yeah." The darker blonde yelled. "I'm starved."
"Damn it Teddy. Of all movies.. you had to mention a horror movie?" Arizona grumbled at her friend, causing them to laugh out.
"Don't worry baby. I'm in your corner too. I'll protect you from that little doll." Callie said, kissing Arizona temple.
"Yey!" Arizona muttered, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, by the way.. jealous and protective Arizona... She's extremely hot!" Callie purred, instantly sending chills down the blondes neck.
