Sorry it's been awhile, but I started classes so I don't have much time and also I'm working on a new story besides Obsesion, but I'll only publish this story when its completed.
It's a completely different story to what I've written so far so I don't want to make mistakes.
As always I hope you like it and let me know. Happy weekend to everyone.
Obsession
Chapter 4
Callie walked through the suite of offices with an extra touch on her hips, people greeted her warmly, everyone in the building knew her, both being an efficient assistant as for being the only girl able to put a ring on the idyllic Arizona Robbins' finger.
She was near the office door of her wife when a voice stopped her.
"Sorry, I need to announce you." The nosy assistant said.
"I don't need you to announce me." She turned to look at the blonde with irritation.
"Well, actually she is very busy right now so ..."
"My wife is always busy, but not for me." She didn't wait for an answer and entered the office.
Arizona didn't realize that the door was open, she was lost in the papers on her desk. The music was at a low volume and instrumental sounds of piano and saxophone relaxed her and yet allowed her to focus on work.
"Hey." Callie said after a few seconds. Arizona looked up and her smile spread across her face. "Jazz?"
"It helps me to concentrate." Arizona chuckled and stood to approach her wife.
"Hmm." Callie wrapped her hands around Arizona's neck and attracted a sweet kiss. "I'm not sure that music and especially the Jazz can make concentrating people." She said when they apart from the kiss.
"Because the Rock Metal can make people focus, right?" The blonde joked bringing her hands instinctively Callie's waist as she leaned over the desk. "You're early, I thought we'd see at lunch." She looked confused.
"I'm actually half an hour later, I left Sofia with Addison and came straight here. Somehow I figured you'd forget." Callie said.
"Baby, I didn't forget, I told Lauren to let know when time was and she seems to have forgotten." Arizona quickly grabbed her coat and purse.
"By the way, since when I have to announce me to enter in my wife's office?" Callie asked casually.
Arizona chuckled. "You never have to announce yourself, Calliope." She put her coat, closed the computer and turned off the music.
"Well in that case you should tell your assistant that."
"Okay I'll talk to Lauren about it, now let's go, it's getting late." She gave her one last kiss on the cheek to her wife before taking her hand and leave the office.
They were in a not very fancy restaurant, near Arizona's job for comfort. Their food had arrived and the conversation was light. Neither knew how to start the real conversation why they were there first.
Callie looked completely nervous, that made Arizona feel bad about herself. They were always able to talk about anything and now Callie looked afraid to even have this conversation with her own wife. Arizona didn't like that at all.
The blonde took a sip of her white wine before speaking. "Are you going to tell me what is on your mind or you'll keep letting your mind jump to hasty conclusions, Calliope?" She asked calm. She knew well her wife and knew that by now Callie was imagined all possible scenarios in her mind of how could go this talk.
"I want to go back to college." Callie released openly and wait for the blonde say something.
"Why?" Arizona asked after a few minutes.
"How why, Arizona? I want to study and be professional, never had a chance. My parents disowned me when I come out the closet so my sister was the only one to get a professional degree, I thank God that they came into my life again and that's partly thanks to you. If it weren't for you, my father would never have accepted or at least tolerated her younger daughter as bisexual." She smiled at the memory of Arizona convinced her family to be a good man in the storm. "But I want more, I want to be more than just your old assistant and your wife."
"Oh, so being my wife is not enough for you? That's what you say, Calliope?"
"That's not at all what I meant and you know it. I love being your wife and the mother of your child, but I also have other dreams I couldn't keep years ago, so I want to try it now." Callie said.
"Mhmm ... tell me how we're going to try to have another baby if you're in college and I'm at work 10 hours a day, not counting overtime? And Sofia is also in the picture, who is gonna take care Sofia, Calliope, if neither of us will be there to take care of her?" Arizona's voice was still calm but her frown and her jaw showed that her calm was only superficial. They had talked about having another baby a few months ago, but eventually came to nothing concrete about it.
"I never said that things were going to be easy, nothing important in life is easy. And you really sound like a macho man now." Arizona snorted at the comment but Callie didn't stop. "You're supposed to support me no matter what, that's what the spouses do."
"And I want to support you Callie, but this came out of nowhere. A few months ago you said you wanted to try for another baby and now you say you want to study again. I don't know what to think, you change your mind like Sofia when she changing her clothes in the morning."
"Do not call me kid, Arizona. I haven't changed my mind, I want to have another baby with you, but I also want a professional degree. Seriously it's so bad for you that I have some ambitions that stay at home all day waiting for my wife every night?" Callie was starting to speak aloud a little, so she tried to control herself. The last thing they needed was doing a show in the middle of a busy restaurant.
"Yes, it is bad if it affects the stability of our family, Callie." Arizona said in a whisper.
"You are unbelievable, Arizona Robbins. Of all the people, I thought would have the support of my wife, I guess I was wrong. Have a nice day." Callie was angry now. She grabbed her coat and left her wife alone at the table with her mouth open.
Arizona hastened to pay the bill and followed Callie. She left the restaurant and looked both ways and saw a flash of black hair that walk away to the parked SUV.
She walked as fast as she could. She knew that if Callie went the way it did, the fight would be bigger at home and she didn't want to fight anymore.
"Callie ... Calliope, stop." She reached to take her wife's hand, but the brunette walked away immediately. "You don't get to dumped me at the restaurant and then flee, Callie." Callie just mocked.
"I'm not your employee Arizona, I'll do what I want if I want to." The Latina snapped.
"Why are you so mad at me?" Arizona asked after a few minutes of silence. "Just tell me ..."
"Because you think you're better than me. That's why." Callie whispered looking anywhere but at her wife.
"What the hell are you talking about, Callie. That's not true and you know it."
"Then why you don't want me to overcome and do something more in my life than just being a housewife?"
"You decided to stay home and take care of our daughter. I didn't forced you, it was your decision."
"Yes, because who else would take care Sofia if it wasn't me. You are always at work and busy or traveling and seeing the world. I was the perfect choice."
"Since when do you feel this way? If you don't want to stay home and take care of Sofia, you ought to have mentioned from the beginning and not now when I assumed that everything was in order with us and our way of bringing our dynamic at home." Arizona sighed heavily. "So I am confused with your sudden desire to study."
Callie looked at her wife in the eye and then spoke. "I should say something before, but that is no excuse for you to crush my dreams ..."
"I didn't even know it was your dream."
"Well now you know." She said back.
"Then I guess we should ... implement a plan for all this to work." Arizona said softly.
"That means ... you mean you're going to support all this?" Callie's eyes lit up at her wife's words.
"I want my wife to be happy, to fulfill her dreams, so yes, I am supporting all this." She smiled.
"Thank you, I love you." Callie held her tight.
"I love you more." The blonde replied in the embrace gently kissing her wife's neck. "Hey, you didn't even tell me what you want to study."
"We'll talk about that at home better." Callie said shyly.
"Come on, you can tell me."
"Umm ..."
"Medicine." Arizona almost screamed out in the middle of Aria's office. "I didn't even know she had this desire to study and get a professional degree and now is not only that but also in tremendous career." She snapped. "Medicine." She screamed again.
"Okay can you stop screaming? And what's wrong, medicine is a good." Aria tried to reassure the shocked blonde.
"Yes and also a very strenuous one." She said aloud. "Have you any idea of ... is hours of hard work and takes years to become a good doctor and what if she then want to become a surgeon? That are like … so many years ..."
"You're getting ahead of fact, Arizona. My sister said she wanted to be a doctor no a surgeon."
"You know how your sister is, she always needs something which places it at the wear limit or beyond. She always has a larger goal than the previous one in that head of hers. Seriously not surprise me if she decide to become a surgeon after finish med school."
"And that would be so bad?" Aria asked cautiously.
"I ... I don't even know." Arizona looked at the floor lost in thought. She didn't even knew what her fear was. "I don't want to be the bad guy here, but Medicine is ... much to handle."
"Arizona ..."
"I have to go. My head is killing me, I need some coffee." She left her sister in law's office before she could say anything more.
Arizona left the office to the small cafeteria that it was in the building. She could feel the blood pounding in her ears. She wasn't angry, much less with her wife, she was just confused with the events of recent days.
Medicine. Medicine is not something you choose randomly or you say 'Oh, Being a doctor is a good thing, I should study it,' No, medicine is important and needs to be more of a thought. And apparently Callie had thought much, just she didn't think it was important to communicate these thoughts to her wife.
She needed time to process all this, but first she needed a coffee and an aspirin to take away the bad headache that was brewing.
The blonde entered the small room, but she realized she wasn't alone. Lauren was there. Apparently crying.
"Hey, are you okay? What's wrong?" She asked quietly.
"Oh God, sorry, sorry. This is inappropriate, I'm in my workplace." The tall blonde apologized as she dried her tears with a napkin.
"Here, that will only irritate your eyes." Arizona handed her a soft flannel handkerchief. Lauren received her with a small smile. "What's wrong?" Arizona asked again.
"Same as always. My boyfriend broke up with me." Lauren laughed unfunny. "Pathetic, I know, but I guess no one is prepared to terminate a year and a half relationship."
"It's not pathetic, it's human. You said it, no one is prepared to end up a relationship." Arizona said. "What happened? If you don't mind me asking."
"I guess I was too little for a lawyer."
"He broke up with you because you're an assistant." It was a statement, not a question. Lauren nodded. "Well then it's pathetic that you're crying for a person like that. He doesn't deserve your tears." Arizona said seriously.
"I guess you're right then." Lauren smiled genuinely. "But you being who you are, would be in a relationship with someone like me. An assistant?" Lauren asked curiously.
"Of course I do. I don't look at your profession, I look who you are."
"You just say it to make me feel good." Lauren chuckled. "It's working."
"My wife was my assistant." Arizona said with a smile of pride and Lauren looked surprised. "I fell in love with her, not for her job. And if I weren't married, I definitely go on a date with you." She said with complete sincerity earning a great smile from Lauren.
"Thank You."
"You're welcome." Arizona prepared her coffee with extra sugar and then looked at her assistant. "In 10 in my office, you got it?." She winked at the tall blonde.
"I'll be there."
"Hey." Arizona said cautiously as she entered the living room and saw her wife and daughter huddled on the big sofa watching Monsters Inc.
"Hey." Callie looked at her wife timidly. Sofia was lost in the movie so not even noticed her mommy.
The blonde took off her coat and walked to the sofa but before giving a kiss on the forehead of her baby. She then looked at her wife and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I hate being fighting with you." She said softly in Callie's ear.
"We are not fighting ... we just have different views on some stuff. It is normal in marriages." Callie whispered looking the blue eyes.
"Whatever it is, I don't like it." Arizona put her arm around Callie's neck and kissed her on the lips this time. "That's really what you want?." She asked softly on Callie's lips.
The brunette smiled. "Yes, that's what I want."
"Then… I guess… we'll figure it out." Arizona replied solemnly before kissing luscious lips.
"Mommy, its movie time. Shhh." The little girl in the brunette's arms says making her mothers laugh aloud.
Arizona loved her family and loved her wife, so if Callie wanted to become a Doctor, that's what Callie get. Not matter what.
Please stay with me. All mistake are mine.
