Hello again! Sorry for taking so long to update but I'm reliable in that I always take a while to update. Plus I am so Brittana obsessed it's ridiculous. I recently wrote a story for them, so if you're interested, check "Something Like Fate" out. But I know you're all eagerly awaiting the date scene…so here you go.


Callie's breath caught in her throat as Arizona shimmied past her into the apartment after being invited in. "You have a lovely apartment Calliope. It's very cozy."

Smiling in response, Callie thanked whatever gods were out there again that she was able to get home in time to clean and get ready. "Thank you, Arizona. I have dinner on the stove, it shouldn't be too much longer. Please, have a seat."

"Thanks Calliope." Arizona responded as she slipped past Callie again, being sure to graze past her ever so slightly.

Looking up and exhaling lightly from Arizona's slow, torturous actions, Callie sidled over to the couch as well. "So how was the rest of your week?"

"Same as usual. I saved a bunch of children's lives and played sock puppets with them until they are well enough to go home," Arizona replied, nonchalantly as if it was no big deal.

"You're amazing," Callie responded without even realizing what she really said. As soon as she did, however, her metaphorical palm hit her face. "I mean….what you do is amazing."

Arizona tried to hide the smirk that spread across her face. She was internally delighted that she was able to make the brunette so scatterbrained without trying at all. "You're quiet impressive yourself, Calliope. I'm sure Asa hasn't left your side all week."

Callie blushed at the mention of her little, blonde sidekick. "He spent quiet a bit of time in my room this week when the rest of the students were at specials since he couldn't play softball in gym and he wasn't much good in art when they were painting."

"I adore how you are with him." Now it was time for Arizona's foot to be stuffed in her mouth as a blush creeped across her face.

Not being able to help herself, Callie stared into the bright, blue eyes that have been in her mind for days now. Without being able to explain where her sudden bout of confidence came from, Callie began to lean forward, not breaking eye contact with Arizona. She was relieved when Arizona seemed to lean closer too. Callie began to close her eyes, heart beating rapidly, just in time for the timer to go off for the twice-baked potatoes she was making to accompany dinner. The two jumped from one another as Callie excused herself to the kitchen.

Arizona exhaled dramatically as she slammed herself against Callie's couch. 'God Arizona. Get your shit together. She is just a drop-dead gorgeous Latina goddess. Stop acting like damn horny teenager.' Giggling at her own thoughts, Arizona stood up and made her way into the kitchen to see if Callie needed any assistance. What she was not expecting was that the table was already elegantly set with beautiful clear plates rimmed in silver, with matching candle holders alighting the dining room. In the middle of the table sat napkins, salt and pepper, and the freshest salad Arizona had ever seen. Two glasses of wine already sat next to their places with bowls she assumed were for the salad. Before she could fully take in her surroundings, she was distracted by the Latina on her mind, who made her way into the dining room with plates full of the most delicious smelling food. "Calliope, this is all quite amazing."

For once, Callie was grateful for the shitty lighting in her dining room seeing as it covered the blush she was certain spread across her face. "I like to cook."

"Well then, I am honored to be tasting your cooking," giggled Arizona as she took a spot at the table, spreading a napkin across her legs.

Callie carefully set both plates down before taking her own place. "I'm really glad you could make it Arizona. It is nice to have the company of someone over the age of 10. Granted, I did see Mark but he is developmentally 10 so it isn't much different."

Arizona had to work extra hard to keep the sip of wine she just took in her mouth as she wanted to laugh at the comment Callie just made. "I am so happy you feel that way too, Calliope. I'm not sure what Theodora sees in him."


For the next hour, Arizona and Callie ate and talked as if they had been doing it for years. Eventually, all of the nerves that were there at the beginning of dinner faded. Callie knew her boost of confidence came directly from the wine and Arizona's doting comments throughout the evening. She was pleased when they decided to leave the table, dishes and all, and head to the living room. Callie sat down first and was sure her eyes bugged out of her head when Arizona sat down as close to her without being on her lap as possible. "You are so pretty Calliope."

Gulping audibly, Callie had no idea how to respond but to dorkily giggle. She was happy she looked down after the comment when she felt Arizona's hand return to the same place it occupied Wednesday night on her lap. "You don't have to be so shy around me, Calliope."

Callie hesitantly looked up, Arizona's eyes were hooded and she was leaning impossibly close to Callie without touching her. Callie was fairly certain that the woman was decently drunk. "You make me nervous."

"Well, let's see what I can do about that," replied Arizona cockily, clicking her tongue as she said 'that', and leaning towards Callie.

Callie couldn't have stopped the kiss if she wanted to, before she knew what was happening, Arizona's lips were on hers and she had no complaints about that. After a few seconds of reluctance, she gave in and kissed Arizona back. As soon as she did, she could feel a smirk spread across Arizona's mouth.

Arizona put on a good show, but inside she was just as nervous as Callie as she moved her lips slowly against the brunettes. She wasn't even sure she knew she was moving her hand to Callie's hip until it was already there. She definitely didn't realize that her mouth opened, inviting Callie in, until she felt her tongue carefully enter and explore.

Both women were entirely lost. Neither had any idea they were making a move until it was already made. Callie didn't even realize she was laying down on her couch with Arizona laying halfway on top of her until she ran her hand slowly down her back.

Callie was sure both women would have ended up in her bedroom, eagerly pursuing one another, had someone not started knocking at her door. Callie and Arizona slowly separated from one another, taking a second to look at each other's eyes before Callie reluctantly got up and made her way to the door and the offending knocker. She opened the door only to be met with the older woman down the hall standing outside of the door, holding a measuring cup. "I'm sorry to bother you dear but do you happen to have a cup of milk I could borrow."

Laughing internally, Callie put on her best "fake it until you make it" smile, grabbed the measuring cup and made her way into the kitchen to grab the sugar. She couldn't help but glance over at Arizona on the couch, who was messing with her hair nervously. Callie quickly returned to the door, handed the sugar over to Mrs. McGrady, and rushed back to the beautiful blonde on her couch. "Sorry. Neighbor problems," said Callie as she ran a hand through her hair.

"It's okay, Calliope. I actually should get going though. I really enjoyed tonight though."

Callie would be lying if she said her heart didn't deflate slightly at Arizona's confession. "I had a great time tonight, too. Do it again soon?"

Arizona eagerly nodded before standing up and grabbing Callie's hand while making her way over to the door. Without hesitance, she leaned up and kissed Callie lightly on the lips. "I'll text you, Calliope."


"Wake up my little lovesick puppy."

Arizona opened her eyes reluctantly only to be met with the sun that was blazing light stronger than a thousand suns, and Teddy's stupid face. "I have never hated someone as much as I hate you right at this moment, Theodora."

Teddy laughed hysterically as she fell back on the bed, kicking her legs frantically, while Arizona covered her eyes with her comforter. "How the hell did you even get in here."

"Please. I had your key copied ages ago. Besides, I had to hear how your date went with Calliopeeeee."

Arizona responded by whacking her best friend with the closest pillow she could find before realizing that she never told Teddy she was going over to Callie's last night. "How in the world do you even know about that?"

"Well you see, Callie happened to get a call from Mark last night inquiring to see if she wanted to go out, when she declined, his nosy little self asked why and when she got all giddy, he couldn't help but guess she was doing something with you. And now, I know for sure you two did hang out since you didn't deny it. So tell me, how was it?"

Arizona really did hit Teddy with the pillow this time. "God Teddy. You are so exhausting. It was fine."

"Uh oh. You won't elaborate on details. You two did something. Spill my little, blonde sextress."

Internally groaning at the name, Arizona reluctantly responded. "We just kissed. Then I left."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry for backtracking here but didn't you just hold back on Wednesday, and now you held back after actually kissing her? You either really like this chick or you don't like her at all, but considering the blush that has been creeping up your face, I'm guessing it's the latter," replied Teddy giddily, as she clapped her hands in celebration of being correct.

Her celebration didn't last long, however, because a pillow slammed against her face and she fell back against the headboard in complete hysterics in spite of her best friend's grumpy attitude.


Callie accepted the facetime call from Addison, only to be greeted with a blank screen. After a few seconds, she called out for Addison. She didn't receive a response from her best friend, however, she hear music begin. After a few moments, Callie wished should could jump through the screen and strangle Addison as "Bow Chicka Wow Wow" by Mike Posner began blaring through the speakers and Addison slowly danced her way into the screen. The lovely dance was not torture enough, as Addison turned around, wrapped her arms around herself and began moving her head as if she was kissing herself.

Callie took this as an opportunity to begin hitting her head against the wall. Eventually, Addison turned the music off and wiggled her eyebrows at the iPad. "So on a scale of 1-10 how was blondie?"


Callie just finished watching the episode of Glee where Brittany finally makes the move on Santana and tells her to dump her girlfriend when there's a knock on the door. Figuring the offender could only be Mrs. McGrady, Callie carelessly makes her way over to the door in her big baggy sweatshirt, grey leggings, and hair thrown on top of her head. As she opened the door, however, she so wished she was either dressed ten times nicer or just ignored it. There, in all of her glory, stood Arizona looking stunning as ever in tight black pants, tall black pumps, and a gorgeous light blue, flowing top that showed off all of her clothes.

Without thinking, Callie shut the door. She quickly fixed her hair and readjusted her sweatshirt before reopening the door. "Arizona. I obviously wasn't expecting you. What are you doing here?"

Internally giggling at the brunette's adorable antics, Arizona bit her lip before responding. "I was actually wondering if you were busy tonight?"


Twenty minutes later, Callie was dressed and walking out of the door with Arizona. In a way, she was happy that Arizona just showed up at her door. She didn't have time to agonize over the perfect outfit or if she looked alright. She just threw some clothes on eagerly to get back to Arizona and to whatever she had planned for the night.

"How have you been off for two days now, anyways," questioned Callie as the two walked out of her apartment towards Arizona's car.

"That's a great question, Calliope. This is the first time in forever that I have been scheduled off and amazingly haven't been paged in due to some emergency. Maybe it's a sign."

"Maybe," responded Callie as Arizona opened the door for her. Before getting in though, Callie surprised herself when she leaned in and kissed Arizona.

Arizona was as surprised with Callie as Callie was. That didn't mean she didn't respond eagerly to the kiss, though. She carefully pushed Callie against her car and allowed her hands to travel up and down her beautiful, curvy sides. Just as excited, Callie gripped one of Arizona's hips and brought her other hand up to gently cup her face.

The kiss was seemingly never-ending until a loud horn was heard beside them as a car was alerting the person in front that the light was green. Reluctantly, Callie and Arizona separated and gave each other a goofy grin before getting into the car.

Arizona began driving and her hand sneakily found it's way to Callie's thigh again. Callie only smiled and began thinking how happy she was that teaching landed her in Seattle and this perfect moment.
