An: hey so trying to make this chapter longer…good luck self *pathetic lonely laugh*
Callie get ahold of yourself! What the hell are you doing? Why are you freaking out, you ass? Callie felt her heart beat rising with each minute passing. Containing herself at the park had been bad enough and now, driving to the movie theater, she was about to explode.
Arizona felt similar feelings on her way to the movies. But she realized how hard she was falling for Callie, and she welcomed it. I really hope she likes me as much as I like her. Oh my god how can she be so cool and calm all the time? I make such an idiot out of myself every time I'm near her. I was never this way around Lauren. Calliope is special, but how in the world does she make me ramble every time she says my name? get a grip and stop acting like a dweeb Arizona you got this. You can do it just stay calm and remember she is only human…with the body of a goddess. NO! Stop it just chill. By the end of her not so helpful pep-talk she was pulling in to the partially dark parking lot. The setting sun cast an amazing glow on Callie as she relaxed against her car with her IPhone in her hands. She didn't realize she had stopped in the middle of the driving path until she heard a car horn blare behind her. Callie snapped her head up and smiled when she realized Arizona had been watching her. When she got out of her car she tried to walk calmly over to Callie but failing she rushed over and pulled her into a hug. "are you ready to go in? I wore my thickest diaper just in case I pee in my pants." Callie's deep chocolate eyes grew wide at her statement. "Oh, ew no sorry that was supposed to be a joke. Ugh I'm such a dweeb! Kill me now." Arizona threw her hands up over her face trying to cover up the crimson shade she had turned.
"No" Callie tried to calm Arizona between laughs "I'm just relieved you aren't actually wearing a diaper that would be a definite turn off." it was Arizona's turn to go wide-eyed , with no idea how to reply to that, she sat there staring at Callie, probably very awkwardly, but she couldn't help it. "oh no, not like that now I sound like an ass!"
After a few seconds to regain her composure, Arizona was finally about to form a sentence. "Okay, we both sound like an ass now we're even, you wanna go inside so we don't miss the movie?" Or just go back to my car and make out?
"Yea that'd be nice before I embarrass myself even more."
"Oh don't be embarrassed I kind of…liked it…" She ended quietly hoping Callie hadn't heard her confession. But of course, she did.
"Really? So, you wouldn't mind if I told you you're one of the hottest girls I have ever seen?" Callie asked in a flirty tone.
"Oh…no I guess I don't mind that at all, because I fell the same way" the girls locked eyes with each other, dark brown meeting electric blue and if they had any doubts about how the other felt about them, it was gone now.
"Hello ladies? May I help you?" A middle aged woman asked, interrupting them, from behind a thick glass window with a hole in it.
"Oh yeah sorry" Callie snapped out of her beautiful-eye-induced-trance. "Um two tickets for Mama please." Callie handed the woman two bills and she gave her back change and two tickets.
"Thank you for coming and enjoy your visit" the woman said in a tone that shouted 'I say this damn line every freaking minute'.
"You really didn't have to pay, I brought money."
"ohhhh no way missy, I pay for movies, this is the deal you agree to in being my girlfri-oh I mean not that you are-"
"I'd love to be your girlfriend Calliope."
"Really? Great I'm glad that's out of the way thank you."
"Did you really think I'd say no?" Arizona linked hands with her new girlfriend, girlfriend yay!
"I don't know. I never know what you're going to do, you always surprise me."
"Good, I like being mysterious."
"Oh I never said mysterious, I said surprising" Callie planted a soft kiss on her nose.
"Ooo yay the movie is starting!" Arizona was all too happy at the timing of the movie, helping her out of the awkward 'are we dating' conversation.
Half way through the movie Arizona felt an arm being wrapped around her shoulders. "Is this okay?"
"It's more than okay" Arizona snuggled into Callie's side. Callie loved the feeling of the soft, smaller woman resting against her, and couldn't help but think she wouldn't mind living the rest of her life with this girl in her arms.
As the movie ended and everyone got up to leave Callie tried to get up but was being held down by Arizona. "hey um, Arizona the movies over" Callie looked down and saw the most adorable sight ever, Arizona sleeping, completely relaxed, head resting on her right breast, blonde curls sprawled out all around her. Callie wouldn't have minded staying like this for hours, but she knew her mother would be expecting her soon. Shaking her shoulder gently, the last people left the theater, leaving Arizona and Callie alone in a dark room together.
"wh-what? Oh." Arizona rubbed her eyes, adjusting to brightness of the screen. "I'm sorry, did I go to sleep?"
"Yes, but I don't know how that movie was epic!"
Arizona gave her most adorable 'oops' smile and stretched her arms. "Sorry, schools just been kicking my ass, I thought senior year was supposed to be easy?"
"Not normally for someone who's in all honors classes."
"What happened after I went out?"
"What's the last thing you remember?"
"Uh two men finding these creepy, skinny kids in a cabin…I think"
"Whoa that was like the first 5 minutes, I think you should just watch it again because I think you would like it."
"Only if I watch it with you, I can't watch scary movies by myself." Arizona ginned, embarrassed at her pathetic confession.
"I'd love to watch it with you again" hell I would watch Blue's Clues a million times if it meant I got to spend time with you.
"Okay, great well in the meantime maybe we should stand up before they think we're going something inappropriate in here."
"Good idea" as they left the big room they tossed their partially eaten popcorn in the trash.
"So um I was thinking…next weekend we're having my mom's birthday dinner…and if you're not busy…"
"You want me to meet your parents?" Callie didn't know how her parents would take the fact they're dating, but Arizona said they we're cool with her sexuality.
"I mean if you want to, you don't have to, if you think we're moving too fast-"
"Stop, I'd love to come to the dinner Az."
"Az? That's my nickname?" Arizona scrunched her nose at the thought of someone yelling "OH AZ" during sex.
"Hey, if you get to call me 'Calliope', then I think I'm entitled to give you a nickname." Callie told her with a proud smile.
"Fine I can live with Az."
"Great, okay…we're in the parking lot…maybe we should" Callie pointed towards their cars.
"First." Arizona leaned up and met their lips in a slow, heartfelt kiss, after many seconds, or minutes, who know, they pulled apart smiling. "I need to do that."
"oh well that makes the end of our first date, so, so much better."
"See ya later Calliope, text me?"
"Great, yea definitely." With one last hug, the girls got into their cars, Callie, pulling out and driving home so her parents wouldn't freak out. Arizona sat in her spot for a minute, her mind consumed by Callie.
"Calliope, its 9:30 I figured you would be home a long time ago." Her dad sat on the couch more interested in whatever game show he was watching than the conversation he was having.
"Uh yea, I found out it didn't start at 7, it started at 8 so I went to the park for a few minutes." Callie said hoping that would be the end of the conversation.
"You we 'rent out with a boy were you?"
"No Padre, I told you guys, there were no boys there."
"Okay Mija, I believe you, dinner is in the kitchen, you're mother fixed Chicken Parmesan."
"Oh yum, my favorite." They were both relieved the conversation was over, recently her father hadn't been the most engaged in her life, well anything really. Callie brought her plate of Italian food and a glass of lemonade upstairs into her bedroom. Even though they had just been together Callie felt a loss and realized the rest this weekend would be hell if she didn't see Arizona again before Monday.
You: hey there Xx-c
Arizona: miss me already? Xx-a she didn't have to wait long for a reply.
You: yea a lil bit XD Xx-c
Arizona: sweet cuz I missed you too ;) Xx-a
You: sweet cuz I'd be sad if u didn't, wanna meet me sumwher tomoro? I wanna sho u something Xx-c
Arizona: AWESOME I would have died if I didn't see u b4 Monday Xx-a
You: me too ok city park tomoro morning at 11? Xx-c
Arizona: YAY okay I'll be there gnite XD Xx-a
Callie was relieved she said yes, and very excited that she got be with Arizona again. Now she had to come up with another excuse to leave the house…damn. Since Callie had moved to Seattle she had only been to the park a few times, but every time she goes she gets drawn to a beautiful bench sitting alone at the top of a hill, overlooking the city.
Walking out of her room, Callie sees her mom silently floating around the living room, dusting around the furniture, skillfully avoiding eye contact with her husband. She didn't know what had gotten into them lately but it didn't look good. "hey ma, can I hang out with one of my friends tomorrow for a little bit?"
Her mom snapped her head up and spat out "you really have been 'hanging out' with these new 'friends' of yours a lot haven't you?"
"Uh I thought you would be happy for me, I made friends."
Just do whatever you want Calliope I don't care right now!"
Oh um okay…it'll be about 11:00 tomorrow."
"Look Calliope you're mother said she doesn't give a shit! Now just go to your room!" her dad barked at her, directing his gaze away from the TV for the first time.
"Wha…okay" Callie slowly and very confusedly walked back up the stairs to her room. She had never heard her parents swear before, and her mother was the happiest woman we had ever met, well now aside from Arizona. When she got into her bedroom she plopped down on her bed, staring at the white wall closest. As tears started streaming down her face, she dialed Arizona's number with shaky hands.
"Uh I'm sorry Arizona, I know its ten o'clock but" she managed to get out between sobs. "I really don't know what just happened."
"It's okay Cal" in her voice it was obvious she had just been asleep. "Tell me what happened"
"Oh no, I'm sorry I woke you, uh just go back to bed."
"No way is this more important, spill it."
Trying to get her crying under control, Callie told Arizona everything that had just happened, and explained how her dad had been acting recently. After an hour of talking, and crying, Arizona couldn't tell her what was going on, but she listened and talked her through it. They didn't stop talking until both their eyelids got heavy, and they fell asleep.
An: okay I reached my goal of 2000 words! Yay I'm super excited, I stayed up until 4:30 in the morning writing this, so I apologize for any mistakes or if it doesn't make sense, it's all my fault.
