A/N 1: This is my first fic so please be nice. Characters belong to Shonda but the idea is mine. All mistakes are mine, I apologize if there are any but even though I proof read this 4 times, I probably still missed some mistakes.
It was Callie who had decided that they should go see a movie, but upon arrival, all she could think about was the Blue-eyed beauty that would be sitting next to her for the next 1 and a half to 2 hours. She never thought that it was possible to love someone as much as she did Arizona, but as far as she was concerned she didn't want it any other way.
They sat there quietly watching the movie like the rest of the people in the movie theatre until Arizona noticed that Callie was shivering. Arizona leaned towards Callie and whispering so she wouldn't disturb the whole theatre with her husky voice.
"Are you cold?" Callie turned her head slightly to look at Arizona.
"Yes, just a little bit but it doesn't matter, I'll warm up soon."
Arizona looked at Callie with the 'You're not fooling me' face and Callie knew straight away that Arizona didn't believe a single word that she had said but continued to focus on the movie instead of trying to prove that she would warm up. Arizona took her jacket off and felt the cold instantly but it didn't matter because she was used to it more than Callie was. She placed it delicately over Callie's shoulders in hopes that it would at least warm her up if not comfort her. Callie looked at her and mouthed what looked like a thank you before looking back at the big screen. Arizona winked and then turned back to the movie.
She automatically started having a two-way battle with herself.
"What are you doing you don't wink at your best friends… are you crazy?"
"Oh please… come on she didn't notice it anyway she was too busy watching the movie like you should be." What Arizona didn't realise was that Callie did notice it and was now blushing.
Callie sat there the whole movie and tried to avoid even the slightest touch or eye contact with Arizona. Once the movie was done Arizona drove Callie back to her home in Seattle and walked her to the door where they stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. Callie was the first to break the silence.
"Well, today was fun, I'm glad you managed to get the day off and just chill out. You really needed it."
"No, thank you for giving me a reason to take the day off, I had way more fun at the movies than I would have had if I were stuck at work sitting behind my desk doing all that boring paperwork that comes with the job."
Callie blushes and looks towards the ground in hopes that Arizona doesn't notice, but what Callie doesn't realise is that Arizona did notice. Arizona just smirked to herself knowing that she could make Callie blush like that.
Before anything could happen between the two of them Arizona decided to that she was going to leave before she did something that would mess up her friendship with Callie once and for all.
"Alright well I better get going, I should probably head in to work, see if I'm needed for anything and I'll let you relax on your day off, I'll see you tomorrow tonight? "
As Arizona finished her sentence her phone signalled that she was getting a call. Callie sighed as she thought that it would be the end to their relaxing day, but little did she know it would only give them more time to relax.
"Robbins – yes sir, no worries, I understand, good bye sir."
"What was that about?"
"That was just my captain ringing just to say that there is no point in going in tonight because the system is down which means – "
Callie butted in with a happy attitude.
"There is nothing that you can do with the paperwork because you can't enter it into the database?"
"Yes, that is exactly what that means." Arizona chuckled and continued to stand their awkwardly.
"Did you want to come in for a coffee or a beer or something?"
"Only if you aren't busy..."
Callie slipped her key into the lock of her front door and pushed it opened and continued into the kitchen after shedding her shoes while Arizona shed her jacket and shoes and placed it on the racks next to the door so then Callie wouldn't get mad about Arizona leaving her stuff laying around.
"Beer, coffee, water or would you like something else?"
"Actually, you got any wine? actually that's a stupid question you're Callie Torres of course you have wine… Uhmm I will have wine if that is okay."
"The Detective wants wine? What's the special occasion Robbins?"
Arizona secretly loved it when Callie called her by Detective or Robbins, it gave her a reason to chuckle without being teased for blushing.
"There doesn't need to be an occasion Cal, I'm allowed to enjoy wine every now and then. I am female after all."
Callie made her way over to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine that she was originally going to drink after Arizona left. Poured 2 glasses of wine and made her way back towards the couch where her and Arizona spent the next hour to hour and a half doing nothing but talking.
2 bottles of wine later and Arizona could slowly feel the effects of it kicking in. Callie and Arizona weren't big drinkers but for some reason tonight was different.
"I'm just going to run up and take a shower because I smell like popcorn and sweat, I'll be back in 10 and we can continue… how does that sound?"
Callie sat there with a pout on her face and contemplated not letting Arizona go for a shower but instead just nodded and made her way to the kitchen to get something to eat.
"Sure, I'm pretty sure you have a change of clothes in my wardrobe if not you can just grab something of mine to wear."
While in the shower Arizona asked herself what she was doing. She never drank wine unless there was a special occasion let alone drink this much. Would Callie think something was wrong? Arizona finished her shower and exited the bathroom and made her way to Callie's wardrobe where she kept a pair of sweat pants and her SPD academy shirt.
After getting changed Arizona sat on the edge of the bed and made a phone call to her roommate just to let her know that she wouldn't be home because she had drunk too much and couldn't drive.
After appearing downstairs again Callie asked Arizona what movie she would like to watch and whether she would like another glass of wine. Arizona nodded her head, agreeing to another glass of wine and went about choosing a movie to watch.
"How does P.S I Love You sound?"
"I have actually never seen it so it sounds like a great movie choice for this evening."
Arizona proceeded to put the disc into the DVD player and hit play while Callie brought popcorn and the wine over.
They sat there in a comfortable silence watching the movie. It wasn't until half way through the movie that Callie had realised the Arizona had moved closer and snuggled closer to keep the warmth in her body.
"Are you cold?"
"Just a bit but it doesn't matter I'm used to it."
Callie got up off the couch and went and retrieved the blanket off the arm chair on the other side of the room. She wrapped it round the two of them and they both sat there contently while they watched the last hour of the movie.
The movie ended and Arizona turned to get up to go to the restroom but when she went to get up she came to realise that Callie had fallen asleep.
Arizona sat there debating whether to leave Callie sleeping on the couch and go crash on the other one or whether she should wake Callie up and help her to the bedroom. Not wanting to do either of those because Callie looked so peaceful, she decided to carry Callie upstairs.
After carrying Callie up to the bedroom and stripping her down to her underwear and hanging the dress up so it wouldn't get crinkled Arizona went to leave the room when she heard Callie mumble something, she walked closer and knelt beside the bed.
"What was that Cal?" Arizona questioned as she leaned in closer so she could hear Callie.
"Stay … Please?"
Arizona didn't know whether to listen or just head straight for the guest room as she wasn't sure that she would be able to sleep in the same bed as Callie.
"Callie, honey… I can't sleep in here with you, it is too hot I'm just going to crash on the couch."
Arizona went down stairs and made a quick routine of cleaning the lounge room and setting the couch up ready for sleeping on.
After an hour, or so, of sleep Arizona woke to the sounds of shuffling coming from upstairs. Cautiously Arizona mad her way up the stairs to find Callie going to the guest bedroom.
"Cal, what are you doing?"
"Arizona why are you sleeping on the couch instead of in the spare room up here?"
"I … Well… I didn't know if the room was set up or not, you can go back to sleep Cal, you need the rest."
After walking Callie back up to bed, Arizona decided to turn and make her way downstairs to get Callie a glass of water and some Panadol for the headache she was sure to encounter when she woke again later. After returning to Callie's room with the Panadol and water and making sure Callie took both tablets and drank all the water. She turned around and started to head back towards the couch.
"Arizona?"
"Yes Cal?"
"I was thinking like I always am and, I was just wondering why you took the day off? You never take the day off unless you're in the hospital, is everything okay."
Arizona knew that Callie knew that the systems were down so there was no point going back to work but what she didn't know how to do was lie to her best friend.
"Well – uhmm I just thought because we haven't hung outside of our works lately that today would be a good chance to, considering the systems were down."
Callie knew that, that was the reason but she hoped that it was because Arizona felt the same way.
"Oh okay."
Arizona turned to make her way back to the couch when suddenly Callie said her name again.
"Arizona wait!"
"What is it Cal?"
"This is probably going to ruin so much but I might as well do it while I have the chance because tomorrow once the system is back up and running I probably won't have time to see you for a few days."
But before Callie could do anything Arizona leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Callie's lips. At first Callie was stunned which caused her to not respond to the kiss. Thinking that she had ruined everything Arizona leant back and automatically turned around and went back down stairs.
'What were you thinking Arizona Robbins you have probably just successfully ruing your friendship with probably the only person that doesn't hate you?!"
Callie sat on the bed shell shocked that Arizona had just kissed her. After sitting there for what felt like an eternity Callie decided that she would go own stairs and show Arizona how much she enjoyed the kiss because she knows for a fact that Arizona will be sitting downstairs on the couch or out on the porch overthinking what just happened.
Callie walked down the stairs to be greeted by an empty lounge room, she turned and looked out the French doors at the far of the lounge room and saw Arizona slumped over with her back to Callie probably intensely overthinking what she just did. Callie made her way over to the doors and opened them, she walked around and knelt in front of Arizona and placed her fingers under Arizona's chin to tilt her head so that she was looking at Callie.
"Callie, I am so sorry I know I shouldn't have done it and I realise that you are probably really confused but if you could, it would be greatly appreciated if you could just forget that I did that because I know I shouldn't – "
Callie was desperate to silence Arizona so she did the only thing she could think of. Callie captured Arizona's lip in another kiss to. After pulling away for what was needed oxygen, Callie spoke up.
"Arizona don't apologize, there is no need to apologize for something that I enjoyed."
Arizona chuckled the continued to kiss Callie until they pulled apart needing oxygen again.
"Come on let's head back up to the bed."
Saying the first thing that came to mind Arizona blurted out a sentence she never thought she would ever say to Callie.
"Callie Torres…. At least take me on a date before you try to get in my pants." Arizona chuckled.
Callie stood and put her hand out for Arizona, they made their way to the bedroom.
"Don't worry Detective it will only be to sleep and then we can sort the rest out tomorrow when we aren't influenced by alcohol. How does that sound?"
"That sounds like a good idea Cal"
Callie and Arizona hoped in bed and cuddled up to each other. As they slowly drifted off to sleep Callie decided it was now or never so she rolled over and kissed Arizona.
"I love you Arizona, I always have"
"I love you to Callie."
20 minutes later and both were peacefully sleeping, dreaming of the future that was yet to come.
