Arizona and Callie were in their car, driving home. They were both still flabbergasted by what happened about an hour ago. Callie was the first one to speak.
'I can't believe April called off the wedding. Poor Matthew.'
'And poor Stephanie. Jackson was not very subtle back there.'
'I couldn't care less about that intern, to be honest. I never thought she and Jackson were the real deal.'
Arizona looked at Callie for a moment, then turned her eyes on the road again. 'You're only saying that because she's friends with Leah.'
Callie didn't respond to that comment.
They were silent until they reached Callie's apartment. 'What do you want to have for dinner?' asked Callie.
'Let's just make something easy. Pasta?'
'Yeah, pasta sounds good'.
They started cooking together. Callie couldn't deny it felt good to be around Arizona again. However, she didn't feel completely comfortable. Since the day Arizona had moved in with Callie again, there was a tension between the two of them. Arizona could feel it too.
They made small talk while cooking and eating, which was good, considering they had been bickering most of the time, the past week. After doing the dishes, they decided to take their dresses off and wear something more comfortable. They settled on the couch and switched on the television. Arizona felt really tired. She had told April a lot of things today, but she wasn't sure she told them to the right person. She just wasn't ready to talk to Callie about her issues. Arizona didn't pay attention to the tv at all, she felt her eyelids get heavy and finally, she gave in and closed her eyes. As she drifted off, her head lolled sideways, ending on Callie's shoulder. Callie nearly jumped at the sudden contact, but smiled when she saw the completely surrendered form of Arizona resting on her shoulder. She put her arm around the blonde and stroked Arizona's upper arm gently. They sat like this for about an hour, Callie watching the tv, her arm around a sleeping Arizona. The program Callie was watching was over and she switched off the tv. She turned her gaze to Arizona. She is so beautiful. Callie leaned closer to the blonde and placed a kiss against her forehead. Her hand moved from Arizona's upper arm to blonde hair. She stroked it gently and tugged a few strands behind Arizona's ear. Arizona stirred and opened her eyes, immediately looking into warm brown eyes hovering above her.
'Did I fall asleep?'
'Yeah, you slept for about an hour. I recorded the show, thought you might wanna rewatch it later.'
'Thank you. That's really sweet.' Arizona sat up straight and stretched out. Callie still had her arm around her. She watched the barely woken up Arizona, smiling to herself. Arizona looked up into her eyes. They looked at each other for a couple of seconds.
'I really missed this', said Callie.
'Me too'.
Callie didn't know who made the first move, but their lips were suddenly connected in a sweet kiss. Callie put her other arm around Arizona too and pressed their upper bodies against each other. What started out as a soft kiss, slowly morphed into something more passionate. Callie moved her body until she laid on the couch on her back, and she pulled Arizona on top of her. Minutes past, their minds totally closed off to anything but the other person. Callie's hands slipped under the blonde's T-shirt and roamed her back.
This was nothing like the kiss they shared last week, where Callie had grabbed Arizona and attacked her lips. This kiss meant much more. The tension that had been present between the two of them for weeks was lifted.
Arizona was in heaven. Callie was touching the bare skin on her back again, for the first time in months. Why did the hell did she sleep with Leah when she had the possibility to get this? Nothing could beat Callie's strong hands. And her lips. Arizona wanted more. More touching and more tasting. So it wasn't long before the need to touch Callie overpowered her and she slid her hand under Callie's dark green T-shirt, stroking her belly softly. It elicited a barely audible moan from Callie's mouth, quickly muffled by Arizona's tongue, trying to battle its way into the brunette's mouth. Callie was eager to let it in and started moving her own tongue against the welcome intruder. Minutes passed by, the two women just lying on top of each other, kissing slowly but passionately. Arizona was the first one to break the kiss. She lifted her head a few inches, so she was hovering above Callie. They looked deeply into each other's eyes.
'You looked so beautiful today', said Callie.
'So did you', replied Arizona.
Callie was eager to say those three little words she felt with all her heart at that moment. She was scared though. She thought it might be too fast. But this was her wife she was looking at. It was still her wife.
'I love you'
The words were out of her mouth before she knew it, but she didn't regret it and she meant it with all her heart.
Arizona was silent for a few moments. Looking into Callie's eyes, she saw the love and warmth in them.
'I love you too. I never stopped loving you, Calliope.' She placed a gentle kiss on Callie's lips. 'Let's go to bed, I don't think the couch is very comfortable for you', she added with a smirk. She heaved her body off of Callie's and stood up. She took Callie's hand and lead her to the bedroom.
'Wait, I just have to get one thing', Callie said, releasing Arizona's hand. 'You go ahead.'
After grabbing something from the kitchen, Callie followed Arizona into their bedroom.
'What did you just take from the kitchen?'
'You'll see, baby', Callie answered in a low voice.
