Callie's Pov:
"I just got off the phone with Arizona. I invited her to our poker-game at our house tonight" I said looking at my husband across the table. And it felt so good hearing her voice "Oh you did? That's great. They are new here and they need to make friends with all the neighbors. So what time do you want me out of the house?" he joked. "You now that I don't want you out of the house, well maybe a little…but it's only because I know that you'll have a great time with the kids at the football game. They have been talking about it the whole week. Lukas is so excited" I smiled. It was hard not to smile when I think about my adorable kids. Yes they do tend to drive me insane some days but mostly they are just adorable. "Well I'm just as excited myself. I love spending time with them. But we'll miss you. Oh shit, I gotta run! Seeya tonight honey" he said and gave me a quick kiss before he hurried to his car and for work.
The kids have a in-service training day today so they were at some friends down the block so I decided to get some pages of my book done. Well, at least try to make them done. You never know when the inspiration will hit you or lack. But today I got lucky. I wrote page after page. And I just felt so alive to watch how all the letters turned into words which turned into sentences. But suddenly I heard a noise outside. And a after a second or two I heard someone crying. I rushed outside and there was Kate. Lying on the sidewalk by our trashcans. I hurried up to her "Oh honey. Are you all right?" I said while sitting down beside her. "Ouch" was all she said. She looked at her bloody knee and then at me. "Damn it." she cried. "Oh, that's an easy fix. It looks worse than it is. Let me help you" I said while standing up and reaching her my hand to grab. We went inside and I cleaned the little knee and put some bandages on it. "There you. Good as new! Do you mind me asking what happened?" I asked while looking into the beautiful girls blue eyes. She got her mother's eyes. "I just went too fast with the heelie-sneaks" she said. I saw a glimpse of a blush in her face. She's shy. "Heelie-sneaks huh? My Sophie has a pair of those too" I said while showing her out. She started to smile. Oh gosh. She has dimples too. How cute! "Thank you for your help Mrs. O'Malley" she said with a smile and walked towards her own house. "No problem" I shouted.
Later that night…
I stood by the counter and sliced some cucumber and carrots for the dip. I started to fix the last things before the ladies would arrive. I heard a knock on the door. "It's open!" I shouted. I continued what I was doing but got distracted the moment she walked into the kitchen. "Hey. Am I early?" she asked. "Hey. Maybe a little, but that's OK. The others should be here by now. Weird. They usually hurry to places where they know that will be served wine" I laughed. Arizona started to laugh as well. "Oh…By the way, thank you for helping Kate earlier. I heard what happened" she said and took the last wine glass and put it on the table. "Oh that. No problem. I'm sure you had done the same if it would have been any of my kids" I smiled. She nodded.
She followed me into the kitchen. It was a bit awkward. I didn't know what to say. All I wanted was to be near her. But I was afraid I wouldn't control myself. Does she have to look at me like that? I don't know what to do. She's so beautiful. Ugh, this is getting old Calliope. Stop it! "So do you like poker?" I asked while getting a bottle of wine. "Well, I haven't played in ages. But yeah I like it" she smiled. I looked at her over my shoulder. That smile is killing me. I lost my balance and almost dropped the wine bottle in the floor. But Arizona rushed and grabbed the bottle before it hit the ground. Wow. "Wow. That was, wow" I said stunned by the fact that she reacted so quickly. "I played softball in high school. I was the catcher" she said and blushed. She's so cute when she blushes. She held the wine bottle in front of me waiting for me to grab it. I grabbed it our hands touched. "Very impressive" I whispered. She looked into my eyes. I felt how I started to sweat. How my heart started to beat faster. We just stood there for a few seconds holding the bottle and looking at each other. She leaned forward and I felt her lips against mine. She kissed me. I started to kiss back. Oh my God. What is happening? Is she gay? Wait, why do I let her kiss me? It feels right though. Why does it feel right? But it feels good. She tastes like…
"Hey we are here. O'Malley poor the wine!" I heard Christina shout in the hallway. Arizona jumped. We took a step away from each other. I wanted to look at her, but I was too embarrassed. "In the kitchen" I yelled and corrected my blouse which had twisted a little by the closeness of our bodies a few seconds ago. The kitchen door opened and in came Christina, Miranda, Meredith and Teddy. They didn't seem to notice the look on me and Arizona's faces. "Where's the wine?" Christina once again asked. "Here" I said and gave her the bottle that Arizona and I had been holding a few moments ago. "And I don't believe we have met. I'm Miranda Bailey" Miranda said and shook Arizona's hand. "Hi, nice to meet you Miranda. I'm Arizona Robbins." She smiled. "Arizona?" Christina laughed. "Yeah" Arizona said with an annoyed tone. I guess that people had reacted like that before when they had heard her name "Okay…let's play poker!" Christina said and grabbed the other bottle of wine on the counter and went to the living room. How am I gonna survive this night? To sit by the same table as Arizona. All I want to do is finish that kiss. Wait. Did I just enjoy being kissed by a woman? Don't freak out Calliope. It's the midlife crisis that playing mind games with you, that's all I swallowed. "Yeah. Let's play some poker" I said nervously. I hope I have a good poker face tonight. Otherwise this will kill me!
