ACT THREE: OH…WHAT A NIGHT…AND MAYBE…JUST MAYBE…
Without any words being spoken Callie and I walk to the front desk counter. Then I hear Callie politely ask the hotel receptionist "May I have another room please"? The older woman standing off to the side of the counter quickly walks up to the two of us and says to my new friend "Dr. Torres is there anything wrong…with your room I mean…your father specifically told us that you and your sister wanted the penthouse suite…is there anything I can do for you"? Callie leans over the counter to whisper to the obvious hotel manager when I hear her say "I just want another room to entertain my guest…my friend". The first woman that Callie asked for a new room hands her a new key card and then winks at the both of us and says "Have a great evening ladies" to which I say to the desk clerk "You can count of that my dear".
Since Arizona and I left the hotel bar together I have been holding her hand…feeling like it has been something…I have done all my life. The silence between the two of us is almost deafening when I stare at this gorgeous blond next to me. Then like a bad dream…that keeps playing in your head…over and over…I hear that voice…that voice…talking to some other people…but coming closer…and closer…to my new friend and me…while we are waiting for the elevator doors to open…when I ask to my blond haired…blue eyed creature "Please be ok with this"? And before I even give Arizona a chance to respond I see Erica coming around the corner and then she sees me…then without any warning I throw Arizona up against the inside of the elevator wall…and I smother her mouth and lips with mine…while the palms of my hands…roam all over her body.
I am not really sure what is right now happening…not sure if Callie is trying to make her former girlfriend jealous…by what she is doing to me right this very second…or if she is trying to show Dr. Hahn that she has truly moved on…but for whatever reason…I am certainly enjoying the hell out of her sexual antics…so much so…that I take a risk…a very sexy risk…as my hands glide up Callie's thighs…and lift her very beautiful dress…up over her very voluptuous ass…and I cup her ass…with both of my hands…all the while this gorgeous Latina…is thrusting the top of her thigh…in between my legs and applying some much needed pressure…on my throbbing clit…while I taste her very swollen tongue…being plunged down my throat. Neither Callie not I hear Dr. Hahn say to the folks she is with "We'll…we…will…take…we will take another elevator" as the doors close in her face.
Callie and I do not even breath during our little high school make out session in the elevator until the dinging of the elevator bell sounds and we break our kiss. Callie and I hold each other close and just stare at one another until I say "I think she got the hint that you have moved on". Callie takes a step back from me and I feel the sudden loss of contact and think to myself that I may have said something wrong. But then Callie takes my hand and leads me out of the elevator and to the room that the desk clerk chose for the two of us. I am standing behind Callie waiting for her to open the door when I say "You know Callie…you really don't have to do this…I mean if you still have feelings for Dr. Hahn…I will understand". The door to our new hotel room opens and Callie turns to say to me "Arizona, this has nothing to do with Erica. I saw you from across the room the other day and have wanted to meet you ever since. And now after kissing you twice and practically dry fucking you in the elevator…I want to spend the night with you…so how about you…do you want to spend the night with me…and maybe…we can get to know each other better"?
With the sound of zippers being drawn downward and the flick of both of our wrists methodically opening our front closures of our bras and freeing all four of our breasts Callie and I are naked beyond belief. Callie has me pinned against the back of our hotel room door with my legs over her shoulders and her face deep inside me. My hands place her hands on both of my breasts while her mouth and lips are devouring me from the inside out. Screaming her name incisively over and over again until my breath grows silent and my body shrieks out a guttural moan as my first orgasm takes over my body. After a moment or two Callie rises from her kneeled position in front of me while she holds my limp and lifeless body in her arms. Within seconds I try my damndest to catch my breath as the feeling slowly comes back into my legs and I hear my lover ask "Been a while…hasn't it Dr Robbins"? I smile shyly and ask back "How could you tell Dr. Torres"?
The rest of our first night together is filled with more lovemaking than I could have ever imagined…along with taking some time to energize our bodies with some food and drinks from the room service menu…and finally topping this wonderful evening off with a restful and good night sleep in each others arms. Curled up in the most comfortable bed away from home and under some of the most contented bed linens I feel my legs being spread open by two of the softest hands imaginable. With the warmest of lips kissing my inner thighs while I feel two of her fingers gingerly slide through my wetness back and forth and then through my curly pubic hairs, I begin to arch my back and moan a little when I feel her hot mouth oppress over my clit as she draws the engorged nub into her mouth and she moans herself at the taste of me. Arizona Robbins's method of pleasuring a woman is one I have never experienced before and I am thoroughly enjoying what she is doing to me. Gripping the bed sheets in my hands until the tops of my knuckles become white with pressure I thought that I was ready for the orgasm that is coming my way…but I am not and when it finally arrives…the room is filled with the most primal screams known to man that I did not even know could come out of my body…but they do…over and over and over again…until my body lies motionless…in this big comfy bed…until I hear Arizona ask "Been a while for you too Callie" and I snicker and say "Yea…but I don't think I have ever come like that before…with a man…or a woman…nope…never had…you should be proud".
Falling back to sleep in Arizona's arms after my early morning present we both are awaken by the hotel phone and I hear Arizona say to the person on the other end "Thank you and yes some breakfast would be good…thanks again Kelsey". I yawn while I open my eyes and say "Kelsey" in a questioning tone to my lover when I hear her say to me "Yea the girl from the front desk. She just wanted to call let us know that the first seminar begins in an hour…oh yea…Dr Torres…she is sending up some coffee and some breakfast…guess she just automatically thought you would answer the phone…I think she may have a crush on you Callie". I pull Arizona back down on the bed and on top of me when I say "Do not really care about other women having a crush…or being a former part of my life…my only concern is with you…and how you feel about what is happening to us…and where do we go from here". Then I kiss her lips and spin her back down in bed with me and make love to her again. And before our coffee and breakfast arrives Arizona makes love to me again too.
With the day being filled with crossing each other's paths throughout six or so different medical seminars, Arizona and I finally meet up in the last seminar of the day that is coincidently being hosted by both Dr. Theodora Altman and Dr. Christina Yang. We both find a seat together but suddenly Dr. April Kepner and Dr. Jackson Avery also find the two of us at the same seminar…as they both sit on the other side of Arizona. Without being able to keep my lover's attention span for more than a minute or two throughout the seminar discussion from our friends, mainly because April will not stop talking and reminiscing about their old college days at The Ohio State University, I quickly think of something to distract Dr. Kepner. I call the front desk of the hotel to have her paged saying that her mother is calling her and has some important news. Within minutes of my phone call everyone in the auditorium hears over the public address system "Dr. April Kepner please come to the front desk of the hotel…you have an important phone call…Dr. April Kepner… please come to the front desk of the hotel…you have an important phone call".
I am really trying to be polite about the situation at hand but April will simply not stop talking. I would really like to pay more attention to Callie while we are supposed to be listening to Teddy and Dr. Yang speak about Cardio Thoracic surgery but April just won't be quiet. Then without warning I hear an announcement asking that April come to the front desk for an important message. April and her husband Jackson excuse themselves when my old college roommate says to me "Maybe we can catch up some more later on Arizona…I would really like that". I nod my head in agreement and watch the two doctors leave the seminar. When both Dr. April Kepner and Dr. Jackson Avery leave the room while Callie rises from her seat as she practically drags me out of mine and we head back up to the room where we began our day. Once inside the confines of our pretty pink bubble as I am now thinking this room should be called, Callie begins apologizing profusely at what she has just done…to the good doctors.
I explain myself to Arizona and what I did to my two fellow Seattle Grace Hospital doctors when she begins to laugh and say "Well I am impressed Dr. Torres…no one has ever done anything like this for me before…so thank you". I look at my new friend with a puzzled look on my face and ask "So…you are ok with what I did to Dr. Kepner"? Arizona walks up to me and plants a very sexy kiss on my lips as she says "No…but I am glad you took the initiative to find a way for the two of us to be alone again…because it seems…that I cannot get you out of my mind today. After attending all of those medical seminars…for the last six hours of so…all I have wanted to do today…is to be alone with you…once more". I take Arizona in my arms as our clothes miraculously leave our bodies and we find ourselves back…back in the bed…the same bed…we both woke up in this morning…and we make mad…and very passionate love to one another…over and over again.
For the next two nights Dr. Torres and I enjoy each others company while she leaves her sister and I leave my best friend both high and dry to fend for themselves. Then after all of the seminars are over late Thursday afternoon, I invite both Callie and her sister Aria out to dinner with Teddy and me. But first I inform both women that my parents along with my brother and sister-in-law and their two children will be joining us for dinner. Thinking for sure in my head that this will be a real deal breaker about spending the evening together with me, I am pleasantly surprised that both women agree to have dinner with me and my family. Thinking that maybe being around family would be too much for Callie to bear since she is having trouble being away from her own daughter for a week but she seems to be excited about our little family get together tonight. Then it dawns on me…all of a sudden…this woman that I am finding myself becoming very attracted to…is now going to meet my family.
The four of us share a cab when the taxi pulls up to the front of the Tavern on the Green. We all exit and make our way into the restaurant. The hostess seats the four of us at a table that already has my father and my mother along with my brother and his wife and kids sitting together. My father along with my brother and my nephew all stand as the three gentlemen help each of us ladies with our seats and we all hear Aria say "Well my…my chivalry is certainly not dead in this family". My father then says "No ma'am it is not". The dinner conversation flows swimmingly between all ten of us as I feel Callie's palm glide up and down on the top of my thigh and I see her smile brightly back at me. With my mother asking both Callie and Aria if they have any children of their own I begin to think this may put a damper on the night with Callie missing Sofia but my new friend surprises me by taking out her phone to show my mother some pictures of her daughter. Aria does the same even though she does not have any children of her own…she has plenty of pictures of her niece Sofia…and is not shy about talking about her second favorite family member.
After dinner and we all are standing outside of the restaurant talking while my father and brother flags down a couple of taxi's we all hear my mother say "Well thank you all for a lovely evening. It was very nice to meet you Callie and you too Aria. And Arizona and Teddy, we'll see you both after your seminars on Friday evening…won't we"? I take my mother's hand in mine as we stroll away from everyone else when I say to this beautiful woman "Mama, Teddy and I are going to stay in New York Friday evening because I want to see Callie and her sister off Saturday morning at JFK. So Teddy and I will take the train on Saturday morning and stay until Monday afternoon. Neither of us has to be back in Baltimore until Tuesday morning. Is that alright mama"? Asking my mother for permission to come to the Hamptons a day later than we scheduled to arrive one would think that I am still a child but my mama knows exactly why I want to stay in the big Apple one more night when I see her glance behind me to see Callie smiling and staring back at me.
My mama kisses my cheek sweetly when she hugs me tight and whispers to me…and only me "I like her…she seems very nice and you need that…I mean…someone else nice in your life. You have had enough insanity and craziness in your life lately…so you need someone that's nice. Take your time coming home…your father and your brother and I will be there when you and Teddy arrive Saturday morning. I love you baby girl…go find your happiness because you definitely…definitely…deserve to be happy. Now let's get back to the rest of our family because I want to tell Callie and Aria again what a pleasure it was to meet them". Waving goodbye to my family while Teddy and Aria along with Callie and me watch them drive off to the train station, Teddy and Aria decide that they want to go out to a club. Callie and I put them in their own cab wishing them a wonderful night while we both take a taxi back to the hotel to be alone. Trying very hard, on both of our parts, not to jump each other bones during the cab ride back to the hotel…once inside our hotel room though is a different story as our clothes fly off our bodies and we make mad passionate love together.
Five nights…the best five nights of my life so far…have come to an end. I wake up to find Arizona sleeping on my bare chest while the clock on the wall reads 2:24 am. After a perfect night of lovemaking my mind wanders to the single thought of…what now. I take a deep breath as my fingers lightly trail through the gorgeous blonde's hair. My thoughts become selfish as I feel that I do not want to let her go…ever. Slightly moving my bare body is enough to wake the sleeping beauty in my bed. First we share a kiss as we both moan into each others mouths. Then Arizona snuggles deeper into my arms and whispers into my ear "Penny for your thoughts". I smile brightly at her gesture when I say "Well" in a questioning tone. Arizona then raises her head from my chest while she looks deep into my eyes and says "What's on your mind Callie? What's in that pretty little head of yours"?
For the next two hours Callie and I have a conversation…a very moving and interesting discussion…if you will. We talk about how we both want to extend this week into something more. Because we both have begun to develop feelings for one another and we want to see where these feeling will lead. But with her living in Seattle and me and my career in Baltimore…it is going to take more time than a two hour dialogue session. Watching Callie pack her suitcase while tears glide down her cheeks, I try to console her in the best way that I can until I realize that I am crying too. Next we hear a knock at the door and we both compose ourselves when Callie answers the door and Aria walks into the room. The hotel room grows silent when Aria asks the two of us "You both alright? Oh no Callie…Arizona…please tell me what I think is going on here…is not going on here"?
With Callie and I saying our goodbyes to one another at JFK after the most deafening taxi cab ride that I have ever experienced. We kiss and promise to call one another often and make plans for some quality visits. Without actually saying the three words we are both dying inside to say to one another…our last kiss…says it all. I stand for a few extra moments as I watch the two sisters make their way onto the airplane that will take them both about 3,000 miles away from me. Aria is flying to Seattle to stay with Callie and Sofia for a few weeks and wait for their father to arrive next week for a business meeting that they both are conducting to expand their hotel business. I wait a little longer to watch their plane taxi out onto the runway when I feel my phone vibrate in my cargo shorts pocket and I see that it is Teddy. I begin to make my way out to the taxi stand as I answer the phone call and hear Teddy say once I say "Hello my friend". "How you holding up there soldier? You get Callie and Aria on their plane ok"? I say to my best friend "Yep" and I begin to cry.
Five hours later after taking the train to the Hamptons and having a delightful lunch with my family, Teddy and I are sitting in a pair of Adirondack chairs with a giant rainbow colored umbrella shading us from the impending ultra violet rays on the white sandy beach in front of my parents home. Both of us are watching my brother and his two children tossing a couple of Frisbees back and forth to one another as they are teasing the hell out of Brutus and Buckeye…their two dogs. Brutus is a Golden Retriever and Buckeye is a deep red Irish Setter. I purchased both dogs from a rescue shelter when they were both just pups and gave them to Timmy and Jessie one Christmas when they were just toddlers. Both kids named the dogs on their own…but I suspect that my brother and sister-in-law had something to do with that fact…since the three of us attended The Ohio State University.
Suddenly my cell phone rings and I see that gorgeous dark haired Latina glorious smile and I eagerly answer and say "Hey baby, I guess you made it safe and sound back home to Seattle. How was your flight"? For the next half hour or so I converse with Callie and I do not see Teddy leave my sight. Because my attention is being averted from my brother and my niece and nephew and their dogs during our talk, I do not notice the three of them…I mean the five of them…leave me alone on the beach. With our playful banter reminiscing about the past week that we spent together, Callie and I talk about me coming to Seattle for a little trip…maybe in a month or so. I then hear the background noise of a little girl screaming "Mami…Aunt Aria" and I know that Callie has arrived home. The next sound I hear are two car doors slamming and Callie's voice raising an octave higher than normal when I hear her say "Mija" and then a series of "I love you and I have so missed you baby girl" as these cheerful tones are being reciprocated by the one and only…Sofia.
With a quick goodbye and a promise to call me later after the craziness settles down, I tell Callie without even thinking about it "I love you". With a small period of silence emergent I then hear Callie say passionately "I love you too Arizona" and we end our phone call. Staring down at my phone thinking to myself…what have I just done…I do not even hear Teddy take her seat once again beside me on the Adirondack chair until I hear her ask "You alright Arizona"? I shake my head up and down in an affirmative motion but I say while crying my eyes out "No Teddy…I am not alright…not one…fucking bit…I miss her". My best friend swallows me up in her arms…comforting me…when she says "Arizona, we need to talk. I just want you to sit there and listen to what I have to say…I have thought a lot about this…and I just want you to hear me out…before you completely dismiss the idea".
ONE MONTH LATER…
I…we…are sitting in the rental car that I reserved and purchased at the Sea-Tac airport earlier this morning when we flew to Seattle. I…we…are sitting in front of the most beautiful two story Cape Cod style home that has a wrap around porch and is painted yellow with white trim and black shutters. Probably because and most likely placed there next to the gorgeous windows to ward off the cold and blustery Seattle winter winds. My breathing and body movements appear to be anxious when I suddenly hear my best friend say "Well" in her infamous questioning tone. I look across the front seat of the rental car to the passenger side to find Teddy staring back at me when I say "I know…I know". Teddy takes my shaking hands in hers and says "We need to do this Arizona. We have already been selected and approved by Dr. Webber and the board to begin work on Monday. Do you really want Callie to find out Monday morning or do you want to do this here and now"?
I take a deep breath and exit the vehicle as I make my way up the patterned sidewalk and the four steps that lead to the front of the wrap around porch. I glance up and down to notice that there are two porch swings at each end of the front of the porch while I make my way to the front door. I stop momentarily when I hear the angelic voice that I have missed so much say "Sofia…homework…now" and I smile when I ring the doorbell. Hearing what sounds like maybe a small child dash down a flight of stairs and shouts "I'll get it" the front door to this gorgeous house flies open and standing here before me is an exact replica…a beautiful mini version…if you will…of the adult version of Callie. In my hesitation to speak first the gorgeous small tiny human asks "Hello, may I help you"?
I clear my throat and ask in a stutter "Is…is your…is your mother at home? My name is Arizona…and I am a friend". The pretty little munchkin turns from my gaze and shouts very loudly "Mami, it's for you…she says her name is Arizona…like the state". I smile and laugh a bit when I correct the little girl by saying "Actually…it's like the battleship". Then I hear Callie's sweet voice say "Sofia, what do you mean it's Arizona" when I see her come around the corner to the front door and then say in a whisper "Arizona". The very astute Sofia Torres sees her mami and I focus our gaze on each other and politely says "I'm going out back to play with Ortho so you both can catch up". I momentarily leave Callie's sight to watch her daughter take a hold of their dog and briskly walk out the back door without waiting for her mami to respond. Without warning Callie talks a hold of me and pulls me into the house as she closes the door behind the two of us. Then she places her lips over mine and gives me one of the most sensual kisses I have ever received…from anyone.
With Callie and me plunging our tongues down each others throats several times during our kiss, we both finally break the kiss to replenish our lungs with air. Once we both catch our breath Callie says to me "I thought we talked about you coming to Seattle next week. Why are you here early? Not that I am complaining mind you". Before I engage in a very much needed conversation with Callie I kiss her again mainly because I have missed her so and want her to be able to fell just how much I have truly missed her through my kiss. Callie begins to moan very loudly in my mouth when I feel her body press my body further into the back of her front door. But when I feel her right thigh infiltrate between my legs and spread them apart while adding pressure to my very hot…and most likely…very wet center…I break the kiss and while I am breathing very heavily "Callie, we need to talk".
ONE MONTH AGO…BACK AT THE HAMPTONS…
I am sitting on the beach at my parent's home in an Adirondack chair listening to my best friend say "Arizona, we need to talk. I just want you to sit there and listen to what I have to say…I have thought a lot about this…and I just want you to hear me out…before you completely dismiss the idea". Seeing the seriousness in Teddy's face I immediately ask "What is it Teds? What's on your mind"? Teddy takes a big swig of the last of her beer when she tilts her body to face me and says "We've done all we can at Johns Hopkins. We have performed some fascinating and intriguing surgeries…and we have written some of the most intensive clinical trials that have been published in all the medical books. We need a change…we both need a change. I have called a few military friends of mine…a few favors if you will…and have pulled some strings…to get each of us…an interview…with the chief of surgery at…Seattle Grace Hospital…we need this…so will you join me in Seattle"?
I am in a daze…a very beautiful and emotional daze. My best friend in the world…next to my own brother…has just asked me to join her on a journey across country…to start a new life in Seattle…to the great northwest…where my current vision of loveliness now resides. My first thoughts to say back to Teddy are "Are you sure? Are you sure that you want to do this Teddy? I mean…I know that our lives are pretty set in Baltimore…but moving…now…I mean…don't get me wrong…but traveling to another city we know nothing about…really"? Teddy rises from her seat to extend her hand out to me as she says "Walk with me Arizona". I take a hold of my friend's hand and we take a stroll down the beach to continue our discussion about moving to Seattle.
By the time my family…all of my family…along with Teddy and me…take our rightful places at my mama's dinner table I watch Teddy nod at me and I clear my throat while I take a deep breath and nod my head back to her letting her know I am going to say something to everyone. I begin by saying "Mama…Daddy I need to tell you something". My father takes my small petite hand in his big burly one as he gives mine a little squeeze and my mama from across the dining room table says to me "Sweetie, what is it? What do you have to tell us"? With everyone's eyes now on me I find the courage to say to them "I need a change…Teddy and I…we need a change. Teddy has asked some of her friends for a favor for the two of us because we both need a change. Teddy has arranged for the two of us to interview for positions as department heads at a hospital in Seattle…Seattle Grace Hospital. We pretty much have the positions locked up and the interviews are just a formality…but we leave in four weeks…for Seattle".
A quiet hush fills the elder Robbins's dining room when unexpectedly Barbara Robbins says without even thinking about it "Seattle…isn't that where Callie lives"? Suddenly the whole Robbins family looks at my best friend when we hear Arizona Robbins say without any hesitation whatsoever in her voice "Yes mama…yes it is". Then the patriarch of the family Lt. Col. Daniel T. Robbins proudly boasts about his daughter's sudden interest in a career change "Well I for one…think it is a marvelous idea…and thank you Theodora for suggesting that both you and Arizona make this journey together". Then Arizona's brother Timothy second's our decision with a good old fashioned Robbins dimpled smile and a sweet but punctual remark by saying "A month huh…that doesn't give all of us much time you pack both of you up…but we're Robbins's…all of us…so we'll make it work".
PRESENT DAY…SEATTLE WASHINGTON…
Four weeks…twenty eight days…to the day of telling my family about Teddy's and my journey to Seattle…I am standing in the foyer of Calliope Torres's home…kissing her and now taking a breath before I say "Callie we need to talk…but first". Then I break away from Callie's embrace to wave to my best friend who has been patiently waiting out in our rental car. Teddy makes her way up onto the front porch and into Callie's home when I hear her say to Callie "Dr. Torres it is so good to see you again and you have a lovely home". A very confused Callie gazes at the two of us and says to Teddy "Thank you Dr. Altman, and what do I owe the pleasure of your company"? Teddy turns to me and says softly "Arizona"? I walk in between my best friend and the other woman…the other woman I would like to get to know better…when I ask Callie "May we sit and talk"? Callie leads Teddy and me into her sitting room and then excuses herself for a moment to check on her daughter.
With Sofia safely placed in her play room watching Frozen Callie retreats back into her sitting room where Teddy and I await. Teddy begins her schpiel to Callie about how her life and mine at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore have reached their medical sustenance while Callie and I just stare at one another. Teddy continues to talk about how she and I have gravitated to our potential in our respective fields and neither she nor I will ever become heads of our departments at Johns Hopkins. Then through the thickness fog of our focus on one another Callie and I hear Teddy call my name and now it is my turn to speak. Callie is sitting on the sofa in her sitting room all by herself when I walk across the room to sit next to her and begin my part of the conversation. "Callie, about a month ago Teddy asked some of her military friends for a favor. She found out through the medical grapevine from Johns Hopkins that Seattle Grace Hospital have been looking for a pediatric surgeon to head their Pediatric Surgery department. She also found out that since Dr. Christina Yang and Dr. Erica Hahn have both left Seattle Grace's Cardio Thoracic program that there is now an opening for that position too".
Callie is a brilliant…gifted surgeon…and it does not take her long to put what Teddy has told her and what I have just told her before she jumps off the sofa to say "What are you telling me Arizona…are you both telling me…that within the last month…you both have made plans to move to Seattle…and are both…taking the two heads department jobs…at Seattle Grace Hospital". Before Teddy and I can even respond to Callie's question I see that beautiful smile that I fell in love with over a month ago appear on my gorgeous Latina's face as my heads begins to shake vigorously in the affirmative. Teddy and I hear Callie scream "Yes…Yes" while she takes me in her arms and kisses me passionately. Once the kiss breaks my Callie asks me still smiling "Arizona, will you go on a date with me"?
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT…MY THOUGHT PROCESS…ON HOW OUR TWO LADIES…FIRST MET…JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING IN MY HEAD…BUT I DO HAVE MORE CHAPTERS IN MY HEAD…IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO CONTINUE…JUST SAY TO WORD…OR WORDS…AND I WILL TAKE YOU ALL…ON THIS LITTLE RIDE OF MINE…THANKS FOR READING…AND REVIEWING…AND AS ALWAYS…TAKE CARE…KJB
