Cupcakes and Tattoos

Chapter 13

Callie jumped out of the bed with a loud 'whoop!' and picked up Sonny. She danced with him around the room. "She said yes! She said yes! I have the most wonderful, beautiful girlfriend!" She continued to dance with him until she heard the doorbell ring. "Sonny, if you tell anyone about this, I will deny it to my grave. Now let's go see who that is." Callie carried the kitten down the stairs and stopped at the bottom. She wasn't sure if she should be answering Arizona's door or not. She looked down and saw what she was wearing. Really should have changed before coming here. "What do you think, Sonny? Should we answer Arizona's door?" The kitten just blinked back at her. "You're right, it's your house too, so you can answer it. I'll just have to help you out with the turning of the knob." Callie laughed and went to open the door. On the other side stood a tall, slender, good looking woman with clear green eyes and long straight blonde hair. The woman had enough luggage to stay for a while. Callie had no idea who this was and felt a ping of jealousy deep within her. She eyed the woman up and down. Hmm, pretty, but I'm definitely hotter. She smirked, "Can I help you?"

Teddy was surprised to see a woman that definitely not her best friend answer the door. She was doubly surprised to see a hot Latina woman with wild hair and multiple tattoos covering her skin. She was barefoot and wore a tight red tank top with no bra, black boxers with skeletons all over them, and she was holding the most adorable kitten Teddy had ever seen. Yeah, Teddy was totally speechless.

Callie knew how ridiculous she must look to this stranger, but she didn't appreciate the way she was staring at her with her mouth open. "Are you lost?" The woman looked around behind her as if to check to make sure she really was where she meant to be.

"You're not Arizona." Teddy said dumbly. Dear Lord, I'm straight and this woman has got me all in a tizzy.

Callie narrowed her eyes, "Nope, definitely not." She didn't offer any more information.

"She does live here right? Her mom gave me this address and I don't remember her saying anything about roommates."

"I need to know who you are first before I say anything." Callie squared her shoulders and tried to stand taller. This stranger was taller than her in her boots and Callie didn't meet many woman who were. She would protect Arizona no matter what if this woman was here to upset her in any way.

Teddy noticed the brunette taking a defensive stance. She laughed internally at the sight. What is she going to do? Throw a kitten at me? And who the hell does she think she is? "Actually, I'm going to need to know who you are and why you are in Arizona's house alone." Teddy would also do anything in her power to protect Arizona. The brunette glared at her. Yikes, okay now I'm a little scared.

The two woman continued to glare at each other stubbornly. Neither one wanted to offer up information first. Sonny was tired of being held, so he jumped out of Callie's arms and ran back up the stairs to his bed. "Cute kitten." Teddy tried to get some sort of dialogue going.

Callie crossed her now free arms and raised an eyebrow, "Yup." Callie wasn't giving in. She knew from experience that she could out stubborn anybody.

"Oh my god! Fine! I'm Arizona's best friend from New York, Teddy Altman. I flew in to surprise her. Now who the fuck are you?" She saw the brunette grin broadly when she said her name. This woman obviously knew who she was. Wow, what an amazing smile. Teddy smiled back shyly. Stop it Teddy, what the hell?

Callie now knew exactly who this stranger was. Arizona had just told her about Teddy just last night. She knew the blonde would be thrilled to have her friend here. Callie's smiled faltered when she also remembered what Teddy meant to Arizona's brother. She was heartbroken for this woman. Callie quickly recovered and reached out her hand, "Callie Torres, Arizona's girlfriend." Callie couldn't help the goofy grin that spread across her face. It was the first time she got to call Arizona her girlfriend out loud to another person.
