Cupcakes and Tattoos

Chapter 34

"Calliope Torres!" Arizona yelled as she came bursting through the apartment door. She made a beeline for the bedroom, not noticing that Callie and Lexie were already up and drinking coffee at the breakfast bar.

"Fuck, what did I do?" Callie asked Lexie. They could tell the blonde was livid about something. Lexie stared wide eyed in the direction Arizona went and shook her head.

"I don't know. You've been with me the whole time."

"Cal, I'm so sorry!" Mark said as he came running through the open front door.

"What the hell did you do?"

"Callie! Where are you?!" Arizona yelled from the back of the apartment.

"Roller Girl! Some people are trying to sleep. Just because you're all sunshiny at the ass crack of dawn doesn't mean the rest of us are. God she's like one of those rooster things, but worse." Cristina walked over and snatched Callie's coffee mug off the counter. She frowned when she saw it was empty.

"Callie!"

"For fucks sake, this place isn't the size of the damn White House! If she's not back there, she's obviously up here!" Cristina yelled.

"You slept with Mark Sloan?! Mark freakin Sloan?!" Arizona finally found Callie sitting on the bar stool looking like a deer caught in the headlights. "Your best friend?!"

Lexie spit out the coffee she had just taken a sip of. "What?!"

"And you didn't bother to tell me?!" Arizona was pissed. More about the fact that Mark has seen her girlfriend naked more than anything.

"Alright! It's about time we got some quality lesbian drama up in here." Cristina pulled out one of the bar stools and sat down. She rested her chin in her hands and looked between Arizona and Callie with a grin on her face.

"Mark, what is she talking about?" Lexie asked. She thought they were going to build a future together. There was no way he'd cheat on her. Especially with Callie. She knew how much Callie loved Arizona. Something wasn't adding up.

"Lex, this was like a million years ago and just that once." Mark watched as Lexie's face visibly relaxed. She had obviously misunderstood and she already knew about that one time.

"Um, babe. You already knew about that." Callie said.

"No, I did not. I would definitely remember hearing about..." She waved her hand between Mark and Callie. She couldn't even say the words.

"About them bumping uglies?" Cristina helpfully finished her sentence.

"Yeah. That." Arizona said flatly.

"But, you did know. Remember the first night we all hung out together as friends? Cris made us play that awful truth or dare game."

"Whatever. That was the best night of your life. You're welcome."

"Shut up, Yang." Callie glared at her former roommate before returning her focus back on her girlfriend. "Somehow a truth about everyone's first times came up?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Don't you remember my story?"

"Yeah of course. I remember everything you say, which is why I know you didn't tell me about him."

"What did I say?" Callie knew Arizona wasn't getting it.

"That it was with a guy, it wasn't that great, and it only lasted like five minutes."

"Hey! It was at least fifteen!" Mark interrupted.

"And?" Callie coaxed.

"And that it was the first and last time you were with a man..." Arizona paused and smiled sheepishly. "Oh."
