Callie's POV

Tonight is the night. My first and hopefully many dates with the gorgeous Arizona Robbins. I feel like I'm a teenager going on my very first date. The nerves, the butterflies, the goosebumps.. yup, I got it all going on. Luckily, I have a full day off. No meetings, no public appearances, no mindless conference calls that make me want to stab someone in the neck with a pen. I can actually enjoy the day and prepare for my date.

If I'm being completely honest with myself, I shouldn't be doing this. Getting attatched to someone who is just going to leave in less than 2 weeks to go back to a life in Seattle. She has a life there.. her job and her friends are there. Granted, we do have someone in common in Seattle. Mark Sloan. I go see him as often as possible but we mostly keep to ourselves in his apartment and some low key places so we don't get hassled. Sometimes I feel bad that we just can't go out and do whatever, but he doesn't seem to mind. We've been best friends for a long time and that will never change. So whatever little time we get together, we try to make the best of it. Once Arizona goes back to Seattle, I don't know where that will leave us. I'm just going to focus on the now rather than worry about the future for right now. Tonight, I plan to woo the hell out of Arizona.

I would plan some elaborate, over the top, flashy date but once again, if I were to take her out, we would more than likely be mobbed to death and then our date wouldn't be our date. It would include everyone interrupting us for autographs and pictures. I don't want to subject Arizona to that right now. I want this date to be about us. So I grabbed a few things from the market down the street that a friend of mine owns and I plan on making her dinner at my house. A candlelit dinner, maybe a movie, definitely some cuddling on the couch, maybe throw in a CD with some slow jams and dance a little. I wasn't kidding when I said I like things to be simple. Just because I'm a celebrity, doesn't mean I have to go to the extreme for everything. I get the feeling that Arizona is the kind of woman that loves the simplicity of most things. The simple gestures mean the most to her. That's what I plan on giving her tonight. I plan on giving her that for as long as she will let me. There will be some over the top, flashy gestures in the future.. ya know, to keep things interesting.

I do my regular morning routine, as always.. running and doing laps in the pool get me off on a good note everyday. It also keeps my body in shape. Gotta do what I can to keep the figure I have been told makes people drool. After I get back, I get a call from the main guy in my life.

"How's my favorite girl?" Marks says. He either calls me Torro or his favorite girl. I just never correct him.

"Doing great Marky! How are you this lovely morning?" Sounding rather chipper.

"Things are good. Just getting in from a long shift. Thought I'd call and see how you were."

"I know why you're calling Mark. No, I haven't had sex with Arizona."

"That's not wh..." I cut him him off because I KNOW that's why he's calling.

"Yeah it is! You also may have forgotten that I know you too well. I do have a date with her tonight though! I asked her last night after dropping her and Addison off."

"You were with her and Addison again? I bet Addison is loving that."

"She seems like a great person. You were right. She knows when to give Arizona and I some privacy. Not that I don't like spending time with her, but it'll be good to spend one on one time with Arizona tonight. I'm not trying to get in Addison's pants afterall." I let out a small laugh and hopefully he knows I was just messing around. I would love nothing more than to share that intimacy with Arizona, but I will not rush this.

"I know Torro. Speaking of Arizona, what happens if you two, like, fall inlove over the next 2 weeks and then she comes back to Seattle? I mean, I know you can get used to a long distance relationship because you've done it before, but what if she can't?" Wow, breaking out the hard questions there Marky.

"I don't know Marky. I really don't know how to answer that. I feel myself already getting attatched. Like you said, I can handle the long distance thing.. I can fly to Seattle when I have long breaks between shooting and public appearances but what if that isn't enough for her? What if all I have to offer isn't enough for her to make something work?" I let out a loud sigh and run my hand through my hair.

"Listen to me Callie... I know you've been dealt a crap hand when it comes to your personal life.. People using you for your money, people using you to gain status.. but Arizona, she's the real deal. You need to make her see that you are worth it. I know you are. You are the best person I know. If there is anyone that can convince Blondie to make a go at the long distance thing, it's you Torro."

"Thanks Marky. It really means a lot that you have my back on this. I really do like Arizona. I can see myself falling inlove with her. And hey, if things do get to that point, maybe I make a move to Seattle. I can always take long breaks inbetween filming. I can slow down what parts I take, what projects I get involved in. Though, that's a conversation for another time. I haven't even gotten through the first date yet.. no sense in planning a future just yet."

"You moving to Seattle? That sounds like the best idea I've ever heard. You know, since Arizona has been there, word has gotten around that she met you. Apparently, she sent the picture of you and her to her other best friend, Teddy Altman, and somehow it got around. She's gotten a lot more popular around here. Not that she wasn't before.. everyone loves her. Now everyone is buzzing about Robbins meeting the superstar Callie Torres." He lets out a chuckle.

"I hope that won't cause any problems for her. That's the last thing I want, you know that."

"Yeah I know. I don't think it's a big deal. Gossip around here goes at warp speed. It'll be forgotten by lunch and then the next piece of juicy gossip will be about some rogue interns slicing each other up in the basement for practice or some crazy ass intern cutting LVAD wires and stealing hearts. Shit gets ridiculous around here. I try to stay out of it."

"You know.. I was planning on coming out there next month. To surprise you. Now that I've met Arizona, I can surprise 2 people I know at the hospital."

"Umm Torro, it's not really a surprise if you tell me you're coming."

"I didn't tell you what day, did I?"

"Oh please. You actually want to come to this hospital? Where you can be mobbed by crazy ass interns and patients?"

"I think it would be fun. You can show me around. As long as you've been there, I have yet to have the tour. You know I've always been fascinated with anything medical. If I wasn't an actress, I would've been a doctor for sure."

"Ok, whatever you want. You know I'll show you around. Don't say I didn't warn you though."

"Got it. Anyways, I'm gonna get off of here. Gotta get things ready for tonight and then just relax for the rest of the day. Wish me luck!"

"You don't need luck. You're Callie freaking Torres! If she doesn't fall for you, she's got bigger problems than those damn Heely's she wears around here."

"Wait! She wears Heely's?"

"Yeah, she's a Peds surgeon.. Her patients love watching her roll down the hall and into their rooms. She says she does it for the kids, but I'm pretty sure she enjoys it just as much as they do."

"Yeah, I'm screwed Mark."

"I knew you would be. Seriously Callie, do what you need to do to hold onto this one. I only want to see you happy and I know Blondie can do that for you. Look what she's already done in just the days you two have known each other."

"Thanks Mark. I'll call you tomorrow. Oh! And if you want to buy a present for anyone you know, my new perfume comes out in 2 days.. makes a wonderful present! I love you!"

"Thanks for the suggestion.. Wouldn't it be easier just to give you some money? I love you too. See ya later Alligator."

"In awhile Crocodile."

We hang up and I just laugh at the last part of our conversation. For us to be successful in our careers, we still carry on like 2 teenagers sometimes. We've said that to each other ever since we met and it's just stuck.

Now, since I am making dinner here for Arizona, I don't want to leave the house when I'll have candles burning, so I need to get Arizona here without having to leave the house. I pull out my phone and text Addison.

Hey Addison, It's Callie. I was wondering if you could loan Arizona your car for tonight. I'm planning on making her dinner here at home, but can't leave because I have other things to prepare for tonight. It would be a huge help and I would definitely owe you. - C

Sitting back into my couch, I turn on the TV to catch some daytime drama. I land on some medical drama show and boy, is it drama. People sleeping with everyone, dying, divorces, mistresses, gunmen.. yikes! I run to the kitchen to grab something to drink when I hear my phone buzz.

Hey Callie! Of course, no problem. I have 2 cars so it isn't a big deal. Are you excited for tonight? - Addy

Oh thank God. Addison is doing me a big favor. I mean, I could always have a car go pick her up, but it just seemed safer to have her drive herself. She already knows how to get to my house.

I am beyond excited! Does she seem excited? - C

Are you kidding me? She hasn't shut up about it. You two are a good match, and that's coming from her best friend since Med School. - Addy

Wow. Addison thinks we'd be a good match huh? Well, now that I have the approval of not only my best friend, but her best friend as well, I think this is going to be a successful date.

Thanks Addison. I really appreciate that. Good to know you have her back. Just like Mark has mine. - C

Yeah, Mark really loves you. From what he told me. - Addy

He does. I love him too. In the "he's my brother and I'll kick his ass for screwing shit up" sort of way. - C

Haha yeah I can tell. Anyways, I'll give Arizona the keys to my car and she will be on her way around 6:30. Have fun tonight you two. Have her home by midnight! ;) - Addy

Yes ma'am! Thanks again Addison. - C

Now that is out of the way, I can focus on getting things around here done. Clean the house a little, make sure I have a knockout outfit ready, all the food is prepared, candles in the right places, music and movies picked out. I think this will be an amazing date!

Arizona's POV

I'm freaking the hell out. Normally, I wouldn't put too much pressure on a first date. It's the time where you get to know the person and whether or not you want to pursue anything after said date. This is different. This date is the first date of all first dates. This first date is with the voluptuous and drop dead gorgeous Calliope Torres. The woman, who for the past couple of days, has had my world spinning. When I decided to vacation here, I didn't expect going on a date with anyone. Maybe hook up with someone, no strings attatched. I mean, I'm no slut or anything, but a little vacation fun wouldn't have been a bad thing. Here I am though, getting ready for a date. If this were in Seattle, I think I would be more relaxed and confident, but this is LA. I'm having a date with someone in another city. What does that mean for us? Will we be good for the remainder of my vacation, then just go our seperate ways once I go back to Seattle? There are so many possibilities running through my head right now. I'm really not into the long distance thing. I can't be with someone and not actually be able to be with them whenever I wanted. There's just something about Calliope that makes me want to try though. She's not only gorgeous, but she has one of the biggest hearts, she's compassionate, she's driven.. when I'm around her, she makes me feel like I'm the only person on this Earth that she sees. I just really don't think I could give that up after leaving LA.

Putting on the final touches of my outfit, I hear Addison calling my name downstairs. Making sure everything is perfect, I head downstaris and into the living room. Addison tosses me some keys.

"There. Callie asked to let you borrow my car to drive to her house. She has plans but those plans won't allow her to leave the house, so there, drive on my little butterfly!"

"Butterfly? Are you drunk?"

"No!... maybe a little. Listen, you've been here all of 2 days and you've got a date with the hottest woman on the planet. I've lived here YEARS, and my love life is next to non exsistant. So excuse me for wallowing in my misery."

"Aww Addy, I can find you a beautiful wom..." She cuts me off.

"No! As I have stated before, I am a HUGE fan of penis. Preferably huge penis. Anyways, I'm happy for you though. Callie is a great person. If she can keep Mark in line, she should have sainthood. Enough about me.. scoot your ass out of this house and go get your woman!"

With that, i grab my coat and purse and head to Calliope's house. At first, I was a little confused about having to drive there since she said she would pick me up. Then I got really excited because apparently, she has plans that won't allow her to leave the house. I wonder what she has up her sleeve.

Pulling into her driveway, I get out of the car and make my way up to the front door. Taking a few seconds to collect myself, I breathe in a deep breath, give myself a little pep talk, and finally, I knock.

Callie's POV

Ok, I have everything ready. Dinner ready=Check. Wine=Check. Candles=Check. Her favorite flowers=Check. Looking in the mirror in the hallway, I make sure I look my best. Gonna make her drool=CHECK. I'm making some last minute adjustments when I hear a knock at the door. This is it Torres. Operation Woo The Socks Off Arizona has begun.

I open the door and my breath is taken from my body. I am staring at an angel. The cobalt blue dress that hugs every inch of her body, the subtle makeup that enhances her beauty, her hair is up but loose curls drape her face. Not to mention the super magic knockout smile that is adorning her face has my head spinning. I know I spend atleast a minute just staring at this beautiful vision infront of me until her words snap me out of it.

"Are you going to let me in or is our date just going to consist of just staring at each other?.. while I am completely up for that, I am starving."

"Oh, sorry. Please, come in. You look gorgeous."

"Thank you Calliope. You look amazing."

"These are for you."

I hand her a boquet of Lillies. She mentioned in passing that they were her favorite and I knew exactly where to get her the prettiest and freshest flowers in LA.

"Thank you so much. These are gorgeous."

"They match the company."

I can see her face start to blush and I know I said the right thing. The butterflies in my stomach had tripled since she knocked on the door. Her beauty never ceases to amaze me. I could get lost in those blue eyes.

"Shall we?"

I extend my hand for her to take. She puts her hand in mine and I lead her to the back yard where I have a table set up with dinner. The lighting is perfect, the weather is perfect and she is perfect. I pull out her chair for her and she takes a seat. I pour her a glass of white wine and myself a glass of red. As I take my seat beside her, she grabs my wrist. As I turns toward her, she catches my lips in a sweet kiss.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't go another minute without doing that." She says. I can feel my face turning hot and I know she sees me blushing because a small smile comes across her face.

"You never have to apologize for that." I say with a big smile on my face.

Dinner went amazingly well. She complimented me on the cooking. Saying she has never had something so good. That's one of the best compliments anyone can give me because besides acting, cooking is another one of my passions. I love to make homecooked meals whenever I have the chance. We sit outside after dinner just talking about anything and everything. I tell her about my family and my career. She tells me about her family and her career. She really does love her job and her patients. They are extremely lucky to have such an amazing doctor by their side.

"So Arizona, you're extremely smart, successful, heart stoppingly beautiful, down to Earth... my question to you is, why the hell are you single? I mean, I'm glad you are or you wouldn't be on a date with me, but I'm just wondering why."

"Well, I got out of my last relationship because she cheated on me. We were together almost 2 years. I come home early from work one day and she was in our bed with someone she met at her work. Needless to say, the relationship was over after that. I made her pack all of her stuff and move out immediately. If there are 2 things I don't put up with, it's liars and cheaters. Ever since we broke up, she's been trying to get back together. Coming by work, coming by the apartment, leaving voicemails. Luckily, I haven't gotten any since I've been here. My hope is that she just gave up and got it through her head that there's no chance on us ever getting back together."

"Wow, what a bitch... sorry, I didn't mean to say that outloud. Though, it's true. How could anyone cheat on you? That's just reaching the bottom of the barrel because, well, you'e gorgeous and talented and sweet."

Even in the moonlight, I can see her blush at my statement. She's so beautiful when she blushes.

"So, what about you Calliope? Why are you single? Because believe me, there are millions around the world that would kill to be in the position I am in right now."

"Well, I've been relationships with a few women in the industry, but it really never went anywhere. I can understand them wanting to focus on their careers because I've done the same, but I also make it a point to make time for the person I am with. It can't always be about your career. If you live your life just for your career, you'll end up lonely and sad. No matter how many movies you put out. I realized that early on. You have to make time for yourself and the person you're with and the women that I've been with just haven't realized that. So, it was never going to work out. I also believe that my simple lifestyle outside of the spotlight wasn't what they were looking for. I am more than happy to stay at home and relax.. or go for hikes, or road trips. All they wanted to do was travel the world, spend money and go to clubs. I love to travel, I really do.. but when I'm just getting back from a shoot in Europe and all they want to do is go back to Europe, it's tiring."

We both just sit close to each.. she's drawing little patterns on my hand with her index finger. Listening intently to every word I say. The moonlight shining off of her face makes her look miraculous. Breathtakingly stunning. I just can't stop looking at her. I blow out the candles on the table and lead her into the living room. I pull out my iPod and put it on the song I know I want to dance with her to, it's one of my favorites. Putting it on the deck and turning it up a little, I extend my hand to hers.

"Dance with me?"

She gives me a smile and holds out her hand. I pull her into my body, wrapping my arms around her waist while she wraps her arms around my neck. The song begins and we start to sway.

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

My hands begin to roam the small of her back. She starts to weave her hands in my hair. I lean my head down to the crook of her neck lay small kisses across her neck.

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

She takes her hands out of my hair and cups my cheeks. Just staring into my eyes like she can into my soul. Right then is when I know I won't be able to let this woman go. When she goes back to Seattle, there is no turning back for me. I need her to see that I want this to be something incredible for us. Right then, I know I need to do whatever I can to make her mine.

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

We stare at each other for what feels like a lifetime. Still swaying to the music and my hands are still around her waist. I can see forever in her eyes. I can see the white picket fence. I can see the kids. I can see my life turning upside down with just one stare.

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I lean my head down and our lips are inches apart. I can feel her breath against my lips. I close the space between us and capture her lips with mine. It's a slow kiss, full of raw emotion that both of us have built up in the past couple of days. This kiss solidifies my entire being. The reason I am here. This woman in my arms is what I've been looking for my entire life.

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts we got Yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end you're still my friend, at least we did intend for us to work
We didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am.

I slide my tongue along her bottom lip, waiting for her to grant me access, which she readily does. Our tongues dancing in synch with out bodies. Her hands have found there way back into my hair and my hands are firmly wrapped around her hips as we continue to sway to the song.

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up...

As the song comes to an end, so does our kiss. My lungs are screaming for me to give them oxygen. As I imagine hers are too. We pull back from each other and just stare again. Our breathing is ragged and uneven. Our chests are heaving, drawing in the much needed air. I have never felt more alive than I do in this moment.

Arizona's POV

I cannot explain how I feel right now because I have never felt like this before. When the kiss ended, I didn't want it to. When we pulled back from each other, I immediately missed the contact. When I'm staring into her eyes, I never want to look anywhere else. She has me feeling things I've never experienced, and although it scares the hell out of me, I can't help but fall inlove with the woman standing infront of me. Everything about her makes me feel like a better person. Her touch, her voice, her smile, her eyes. It makes me feel like I'm floating. I can't give this up after my vacation is over. Right then, I decide against my own rules and throw them out the window. Calliope is worth it.

I see the clock on the wall and notice it's almost 11pm. Have we really been talking and enjoying each others company for 4 hours? It didn't seem that long ago that I was knocking on her front door. She must've seen me glance at the clock because the next thing I know, she's pulling me into another kiss. Slow and hungry is the best way to describe it. Slow, hungry and amazingly breathtaking.

"Stay with me tonight."

I look into her eyes and see nothing but adoration and what else? Is that love? I don't answer right away and she must think my hesitation is a sign that she's crossed some sort of line and she continues to talk...

"I mean, I don't mean for THAT. I mean, at some point I want that with you, but I want to take this slow.. build something here that's not just about sex.. I just want you to stay here with me tonight. Sleep in my bed. Let me hold you while we both fall asleep. I want to wake up to you in the morning and make you breakfast and read the paper together. I just want to be happy. I think.. no, I know I can be happy with you."

Once again, she has left me speechless. The only thing my brain can seem to tell me is to kiss this woman with everything I have. So I do. This isn't a slow, emotional kiss. This kiss is the kiss of all kisses. This hands roaming over entire bodies. Tongues massaging each other like our lives depended on it. Moans being swallowed by each other. Stars aligning. Fireworks going off. Volcanos erupting. Once the kiss slows down, I pull away from her.

"I'd love to stay here with you."

Callie's POV

I can feel my heart swell when she said she would stay with me tonight. I tried not to sound too desperate when I asked her but she said yes, so that really doesn't matter now. We make our way to the bedroom and I give her one of my tshirts and a pair of shorts to change into. While she's in the bathroom changing, I change in my room. She comes out of the bathroom and she looks just as stunning as she did when she arrived tonight. She makes her way over to the bed and gets in. The sheets are pulled down and she nestles into the bed. I climb in behind her and wrap one arm around her waist. She grabs my other arm and wraps it around her shoulder, moving backwards into my body.. using my shoulder as a pillow. It amazes me how well our bodies fit together. We lay here for I don't know how long, just listening to the other one breathe. Just before I'm starting to fall asleep, I hear her speak.

"I wish 2 weeks could last forever."

It startles me for a second because I thought she had fallen asleep. I lower my mouth to her ear and whisper...

"Who says it can't?"

We fall asleep in each others arms and I know, I have to have this for the rest of my life and I will do anything to make that happen.

A/N First of all, WOW! Thank you for all the love! This story has gotten more love than I thought it would! Makes me want to write more! That's why I was able to get you this chapter today. Second, I know the first date wasn't what some of ya'll wanted, but you have to remember that Callie is an A List celebrity.. where she goes, there is bound to be paparazzi and fans screaming her name. So, she made sure it would just be her and Arizona for their first date. It only gets better from here. There will be a little bit of a time jump because I have so many ideas for how they make a relationship work once Arizona gets back to Seattle.. but I will have a few more moments from her vacation. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Again, thank you SO much for all the love!
