The next morning…
Callie's Pov:
I've been in a bad mood since George told me yesterday that we were going camping. I don't want to go camping. Especially not with the Robbins' family. I can't be around her. Not after what happened yesterday. I now that kissing her was wrong. I now that I was cheating. And I'm not that person. I never tolerate cheating. And now I've done it myself. George cheated on me when I was pregnant with Lukas. He slept with his secretary Isobel Stevens. God I hate her! But I forgave him. Well I haven't really, I just decided that it was best to forgive him and forget about it. Because we are a family. And I love him. But it took almost 7 months and therapy before I could live with the fact that he had been sleeping with that woman. So I know what cheating can do to a relationship. Especially if you have kids. So maybe it is for the best to forget about Arizona. But on the other hand I haven't been REALLY happy with George in a long time. We rarely talk anymore. We have sex once a week and he is mostly too tired to make any effort. So I mostly just fake it and just go to sleep. So you could say that I haven't been sexually fulfilled in years. So maybe that's why I feel the way I feel about Arizona. I'm just always hot. So this morning I decided to jump in the shower with George.
He did put some effort in it this time. But he's touch wasn't as good as Arizona's. Even if I and Arizona just kissed it felt WAY better than it does with George. And if kissing Arizona felt that amazing I can't even imagine how the actual sex would be. It's not that George is bad or anything it's just that I can feel the difference. He's a man and Arizona a woman. Different parts. Different touch. I have to stop thinking about it. From now on Arizona and I are JUST friends and nothing more.
I put on some outdoorsy clothes and went outside. I'm not a fan of camping. There are no bathrooms and it's so many bugs and gross stuff in the woods. But George likes to take the kids fishing and teaching them stuff and I do have to agree with him that the campfire at night is cozy. You can make S'mores and George always tell these amazing stories for the kids. So I guess that camping is not ALL bad. But after our little fight last night we decided to rent a cabin because I'm not gonna sleep on the ground again. It's not good for my back. And it's WAY easier to make dinner and everything if you live in an actual house. I was the last one to get to the car and off course ended up sitting next to Arizona. But her outfit was so cute. She had a white jacket, pink hoodie and black jeans. It's not a lot of grownups that can pull the hoddies off but Arizona did. "Hey" we both said when I've gotten into the car. We didn't look at each other for whole ride. Almost didn't say anything either. The only ones that talked a lot where the kids and the men. During the whole ride I just thought about how embarrassing this whole weekend would be.
2 hours later we arrived to the cabin. It was beautiful. The cabin was 50 yards from the lake. Maybe it won't be that bad after all. We women and the kids went into the cabin while the men unloaded all the stuff from the car. The cabin was amazing. It had this big fireplace in the living room. The kitchen was really beautiful as well. The kids was gonna share one bedroom and then us parents would get our own rooms.
Arizona's Pov:
A few hours later when we had gotten installed and unpacked everything George and Brad took the kids out to go fishing before it would get dark outside. Callie had a headache so she went to take a nap while I started preparing for dinner. And it wasn't very hard work since it was just spaghetti and some tomato sauce. Even I could do that. A half hour or so later Callie stumbled into the kitchen. She rubbed her eyes and sat down on one of the chairs. I didn't think she noticed. "Do you want some help?" she asked and looked at me over her shoulder. "Uhm, yeah sure. You could make the salad." I smiled. "I wonder how long it will take until they get back" I said to break the silence. "I don't know" she said quietly. I looked at her and saw how she cried. "Hey. Are you OK?" I asked and laid my hand on her right shoulder. "I'm fine" she said and put down the knife and walked away. My jaws dropped. I just stood there for a minute. Then I turned off the stove and walked towards her bedroom.
I knocked on the door. "What?" she yelled. I opened the door and saw her sitting on the bed. She was still crying. "What's wrong?" I asked concerned. She looked up at me. She was beautiful even now that she had mascara in her whole face. But sad is not a face that suits her. Seeing her cry feels like stabbing me with a knife. "Do you really want to know?" she whispered. I nodded and sat down on the chair "OK. I'm married to this great man. We have two beautiful kids together. A perfect house. A pretty perfect life together. But then this woman shows up and turns my whole world upside down. And she makes me feel so alive. She makes me feel in a way that I haven't felt in…well, like I never felt for anyone before. And then she says that I should just forget about it. That I should stay with my husband. But I don't want too. I want out of my marriage…I'm not happy" she whispered. Is she saying what I think she's saying? I sat down by the end of the bed. I grabbed her hand and took my other hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks. I leaned forward and gave her a gentle kiss. I felt the taste of her tears. She put her hand on my cheek and looked deeply into my eyes. "I'm unhappy in my marriage too. I was wrong…I think we should try this too see what this is" I smiled. Callie also started too smiled."But we have to wait. We can't do anything here. Now. Plus this is new to me. Being with a woman. And I think I need to get used to the idea first." she said and rested her head against my shoulder. "I need to get used to the idea of this too. But I have to tell you something…" I said and looked into her beautiful hypnotic golden brown eyes. She nodded her head waiting for me to tell her. "Well, this wouldn't be my first time with a woman. I'm a bisexual. I've had relationships with women in my early 20's before I meet Brad. I just thought you should know". She kissed me gently and smiled "Okay. Cool." She just said and hopped of the bed "Are you coming? We have to save the dinner" she smirked and walked away. I just laughed and followed her.
