This is intended to be a quick one shot as an apology for my extended absence from my other Callie and Arizona fic Nobody's Perfect. I did accomplish a lot while I was gone. I graduated from college and moved into my own place. Still I apologize for my absence. I will be returning to Nobody's Perfect. I also want to note that this one shot is Callie and Arizona for all my Calzone fans reading Nobody's Perfect. I appreciate you guys! Now without further ado I give you Earned it.
Arizona watches her dance. It was always one of her favorite things to do. Callie loved to dance and sing and she often did doing everything from house work to singing in the shower. Arizona watches Callie dance with some unknown guys at the bar. Her eyes never leave the brunette as the song changes to a slower one. The brunette come around the guys neck and she rest her head against the guys shoulder as they dance. it's at this moment when their eyes connect. Arizona should look away but she refuses. She looks into Callie's eyes without blinking and is surprised when Callie smiles at her over the guy's shoulder. For the rest of the night Arizona's eyes are on Callie and more often then not Arizona finds that Callie's eyes are on hers.
It's been a week since the bar and Arizona stares at her phone. Callie broke up with the nameless guy a coupe days after the bar according to Alex. he would never admit it but he's a but of a gossip. She dials a familiar number but not for the reasons it used to be. The blonde deflates when she her call goes to voicemail. It is at this moment that Arizona decides what she is going to do . She grabs her keys and walks out he door to her car.
Arizona watches from her car parked outside their former house. She knows Sofia is not there. She has been spending a lot of nights at Meredith's since her and the kids returned. So Arizona knows that Callie is in the house by herself. Arizona dials her number and waits for her answer again.
"Hello"
"Hey, you think I could come over?" There is silence from the other end of the line for a few seconds and Arizona fears she may have been wrong.
"Okay." Callie replies. "The door is open when you get here."
Arizona opens the door a minute later. Callie looks surprised to see her so soon but doesn't say anything about it.
"Did you forget something when you picked up Sofia?" There is no response so Callie turns to find Arizona and gasps when the blonde is inches from her.
"Yes," Arizona replies "You" Arizona's hands come to Callie's hips waiting for Callie to object should she want to. She doesn't. hands slowly start to move up Callie's sides and can hear Callie's breathing become more shallow. Arizona could almost cry at the feeling of having Callie in her hands again. Her hands come around Callie's back bringing the brunette closer to her.
"Arizona." Callie says breathless. The blonde moves in closer and brushes her lips against Callie's. The taller woman moans in appreciation. Arizona does it again and again but stops when she hears a sob escape the brunette.
"Arizona..." Callie's eyes are closed as she speaks. "I want this more than you know but I can't take another heart break." Arizona's arms tighten around Callie attempting to soothe away the pain of their past.
"I know Callie I know. I will do anything for us to move forward. I can't live without you in my life anymore.." Arizona brushes her hand against Callie's and the brunette leans into the touch opening her eyes to look into familiar blue ones.
"So let me earn it. Let me earn your love back."
A/N- P.S. I could be persuaded to write another chapter for this if you guys are interested.
