At the same time, that same morning, Penny Blake opened her eyes slowly, but was quickly blinded by the sun coming throught the windows.
Blinking, she immediately felt a huge headache, she had drink too much the night before.
As she tried to remember what exactly happen to her, she opened her eyes bigger and didn't recognized the place she was in.
Hungover... everything turning around her and the urge to use the toilet made her sit on the bed she was laying on.
She shook her head. This was definitively not her appartment. It wasn't Callie's neither.
It wasn't a place she knew, and she began to freak out a little. And now it was getting worst because she realized she was n*** under the blanket.
Blushing, she looked for her clothes, which were scattered all over the room. Keeping the blue blanket around her, she grabbed her blouse and embarassly looked for her pants.
What was happenning? She never did that before. And Whose place was this?
She finally found her pants and put them as fast she could and sat back on the bed, trying to remember what happened last night.
That's when she noticed a jacket on a chair in the corner of the room. She knew that jacket because she saw Leah Murphy wearing it.
She sighed in relief for a moment. Of course, she was at Leah's...
They had gone to severals bar last night, and had danced, talked, laughed and drank... A lot.
They have talked trash about Callie Torres and Arizona Robbins and they have cried a little too... And as she remembered that night, she remembered coming to Leah's apartment and kissing her. She kissed Leah, spontaneously and passionately.
She opened big eyes and put her hand her mouth and remembered stripping Leah's clothes, then hers … she remembered following the dirty blonde to her room and …
"Oh My god... No!" She said out loud, blushing as Leah opened the door carrying a tray with breakfast on it.
"Morning!" Leah said excitedly, a big smile on her face.
Apparently, She remembered everything too...
...
Arizona was smiling wide when Andy opened her door that morning.
It was the first time she came to her place and she was excited, but also nervous at the same time.
It was not a huge step in her relationship with Andy, but it was getting to discover her world, her intimacy, and that was something Arizona hadn't done in a very long time.
When Andy opened the door, she was on the phone with someone. She put the phone against her shoulder and smiled at Arizona, kissing her on the lips.
Hey, come in, I'm on the phone with my brother, he's telling me something really interesting. Andy explained quickly, receiving a first class dimpled smile from the blonde.
Arizona entered almost shyly in the apartment, following Andy to the living-room. Andy made her a sign to have a seat on the couch, and Arizona nodded and sat. As Andy walked a little further, Arizona looked around her and smiled. She and Andy were definitely from totaly opposite worlds, but that was one of the things she loved about her.
Andy seemed to be a huge fan of comics, but also of fantasy literature and cinema. She had an impressive collection of old movie and items in her apartment, such as movie posters, figures and even movie props.
"I hope you're not going to run away now you see my geekie side is not only taking part in my job !" Andy teased Arizona as she was back, handing her a cup of coffee.
"Not at all! I love it!" Arizona replied sincerely." It's really well appointed, it's a little eccentric and it's... really you."
"You're sure ?" Andy asked worriedly, sitting next to her.
"I'm 100% sure Andy." Arizona said, smiling at her and putting her hand on her thigh.
"Great! Cool!" Andy smiled. I was a littlle worried to be really honest. "Your a surgeon after all, you don't really care about all this. You're doing a really great job, you are saving kids..."
"It's not a contest... I love my job, but I love a lot of other things too. And It's really enjoyable to leave the medical world some times... My friends are mostly all surgeons, my ex is a surgeon... My daughter is almost raised in a hospital. So it's more than important to get my head out of it." Arizona explained, approaching Andy a little closer and kissing softly her cheek.
"Thank you..." Andy whispered in her ears, pecking Arizona. "And, I have quite a news to tell you..."
"What is it?"
"My brother just told me he met a gorgeous friend of yours who came to the shop this morning, looking for me..." Andy explained, smirking.
"She did it... Didn't she? Arizona replied, embarassed.
"She did... And my brother even tried to ask her out, but he got send stroll!" Andy teased.
"I'm sorry... I really don't know what's wrong with her... I'm going to talk to her."
"It's okay, don't worry." Andy reassured her. "Let's forget about her and focus on us!"
...
Arizona was on the ortho floor and it had been a long time since she went there.
Since her divorce, she didn't have the opportunity to visit Callie's unit and it was better like that.
But Today, she needed to talk with her ex-wife after the text Andy just sent her.
It wasn't long before Callie noticed her from far, apparently asking a nurse where Dr Torres could be.
She had braids and it made Callie smile. She had always loved the way Arizona was making them. She loved to watch her style Sofia's hair.
But then, the reality take her back and she asked herself why the blonde was there.
"Hey!" Arizona said behind her.
"Oh, Hey!" Callie smiled a little to brightly, making Arizona smirk. What are you doing here?
"Oh... Well, I was wondering what an ortho surgeon who doesn't read comics at all was doing in comic store at the other side of town …" Arizona asked frankly, but with a playfull smile.
"What?"
"Stop fooling me Callie!" She warned her. "What did you think? Of course Andy's brother told her about my 'hot brunette friend'... What were doing down there?"
Callie blushed and found herself a little stuck. She naively thought that Anton wouldn't talk to his sister, but here she was, in front of her ex wife who was waiting for her explanation.
"I... I was in the area and I saw the shop and I remembered seeing the name on the box she had the other day... "Callie lied clumsily.
"Callie... What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like that?" Arizona asked more seriously." You're on my back, mostly stalking me, whereas a few days ago, my whereabouts didn't seemed to interest you at all..."
Callie took a deep breath an tried to keep her emotion under control. She had an opportunity right now to tell Arizona she still had feelings for her.
"You're right, I wasn't there by chance... "Callie confessed.
"I don't get it... What do you want from me? Can you let me live my life?" Arizona cut her of." I'm seeing Andy. I don't know where we're going and I don't know if it's serious or not, but it feels good with her. You dumped me two years ago, telling you wanted me to feel as free as you felt free during that freaking 30 days break. And guess what? I have never felt free before that. I was stuck in my bitterness, my anger towards you and mostly towards me.
But, When I heard you talking about Penny to everyone around, and when I see how you stand by her side now, it made me realize we were over, for good. And that it was high time for me to move on too. I have to admit that I always thought you'd come back, that we would find each other again. It wasn't our first break-up you know...
But whatever it is with you, i'm going to ask you to let me do what I want to do. And I don't care if you don't like Andy. I like her and that's the only thing that matters..."
Callie remained stunned. It was the longest conversation she had with Arizona in months and it was not a good one.
"It's not that I don't like Andy..."
"So what is it?" Arizona asked.
"I broke up with Penny..." Callie said.
"Oh... I'm sorry... "Arizona replied sincerely, but surprised by the news." But it still doesn't explain to me why you're acting like this..."
As Callie remained silent, Arizona rolled her eyes, shrugged and left her. But as she walked away she froze, hearing Callie saying, "I love you."
Three simple words that were making Arizona's world collapsing. She closed her eyes a minute as if she was processing what Callie just told her.
She nodded nervously, and finally walked away, without a look for Callie.
...
Penny was looking for Meredith through the hallways. She had to be there for rounds but had missed it.
So whe was nervously looking for the chief of general surgery, hoping she wouldn't be more pissed at her than usual.
It was the first time she had been late, but it was for a good reason. And as she was running through the hallways to find Dr grey, her mind was still in Leah's room.
Blake !
Dr Grey... I'm sorry...
Where have you been? You missed rounds this morning! Meredith reproached her.
« I'm sorry... Really sorry... » Penny mumbled. « I was... I wasn't feeling well, and I didnt wake up... »
Looking supisciously at her, knowing that she had surely been drinking the night before, Meredith sighed. « Are you felling better? Because I can't affort to have an unfocused resident on my watch... »
« I'm fine. I'm totaly fine ! » Penny said, nodding nervously.
« Okay, I believe you. But make sure it won't happen again ! And please, go to the lab and ask them to move their a** to get us Ms Jensen results. » Meredith asked her resident before walking away.
Penny took a deep breath when she was interrupted by her phone ringing.
Do you know on-call room 7 on the 3rd floor ? Meet me there asap !
...
« Hey ! » Meredith said as she saw Callie silently sitting in the attending's lounge. « Did you talk to Arizona today ? »
« No... Why would I do that ? » Callie asked, still mad at her ex-wife's reaction. « I shouldn't have listened to you. »
« Okay... Whatever... If you want to cry over your ex-wife you still love, be my guest... I was just trying to help... »
« It's not that easy Meredith... » Callie whispered.
« What do you mean ? »
« I told her... » Callie confessed.
« Oh... And What did she say ? »
« Nothing... that's the problem. She just left... Oh, and before, she just did, she toldl me to leave her alone and to let her live her life the way she wanted... » callie precised.
« Maybe she needs a little time to process the news... Understand her... She's been waiting for a sign for you for... years ! And finally realizing you were supposedly moving on, she had done the same and met that girl... Give her some time to process it. »
« You're right... I'm always trying to rush things... Let's wait... a little... » Callie grumbled.
« Wise idea... And guess what... Your perfect Penny missed rounds this morning... » Meredith Stated. « She told me she was sick, but I think she had a hangover... »
« She missed rounds ? Really ? Doesn't sound like her... »
« And I sent her to the lab an hour ago to get me some result, and she's nowhere to be found ? »
...
After her talk with Callie and her big suprise revelation, Arizona was pissed.
She wasn't feeling well and she needed to do something. The problem was she didn't know what to do.
Her first thought had been to call Andy and ask her to come to the hospital. She needed to see her. She needed to forget about Callie and to keep her mind busy.
So, when Andy knocked at the open door of her office, Arizona rushed toward her and kissed her without giving Andy the time to react.
It wasn't a soft and sweet kiss as they had shared before. It was an urgent kiss, almost desperate.
« hey ! Hey ! What's going on ? » Andy said as she tried to pull Arizona away.
« Nothing, I want you... I Can't wait any longer... » Arizona said, trying to reach Andy closer.
« I thought we were taking things slowly... » Andy asked, confused.
« Screw slowly, I want you now ! » Arizona said with a playful smile on her face.
Andy knitted her eyebrows, smirking and finally noded in agreement. Arizona grabbed her hands and lead her to the nearest on-call room she was sure would be empty.
Leaning against the wall in an hurry, she kissed her passionately, and as Andy opened the door and stepped back in the room pushed by Arizona, their passionate outburst was interrupted by a voice yelling.
« Oh my god ! » Penny said as she grabbed the blanket to cover her n*** body.
« What the hell ? » Arizona asked, gasping.
« I thought you locked the door ! » Leah asked Penny.
« We...We're sorry ! Don't move... Or... Whatever ! » Arizona mumbled, grabbing Andy's hand and leaving the room as fast as she could.
