"Okay, so where are we going?" Arizona asks Callie the next afternoon as she climbs into the car.
"You'll see." Callie replies leaning over to kiss her lightly on the cheek.
Turning her head, Arizona reaches up and pulls the brunette back for a kiss on the lips.
A horn honks and Callie squeals before putting the car in gear and pulling away from the door.
"How far is the drive? I haven't eaten since early this afternoon and I may need a snack." Arizona says still trying to get information on the trip.
"There's a cooler behind my seat, just grab whatever you want." Callie replies flashing a big smile.
"How long is the drive?" Arizona asks after she gets the cooler open and starts pulling sacks out.
"Oh, hand me a sparkling water." Callie says as they pull up to a stop light. Then glancing over at the blonde twisted around to the back seat, she licks her lips and smiles even bigger.
Handing her the water, Arizona glances up and notices her smile. "Like what you see Torres?" She asks playfully.
"Definitely," Callie says leaning over to kiss her quickly before the light changes.
"Hands on the wheel!" Arizona says pushing her away as the car behind them honks. "And don't think that I didn't notice that you didn't answer my question," she adds popping an apple slice into her mouth.
Smiling, Callie reaches over and caresses the blonde's leg. "Lay back and relax, I'll let you know when we get close."
Yawning, Arizona lays the seat back. She usually isn't able to sleep in a car, but the overnight shift coupled with a long surgery this morning, she decides to try. Besides, she definitely doesn't want to be sleepy later.
Glancing over at the blonde relaxing beside her, Callie relaxes a little bit. She was worried that the drive would be too long after Arizona's long night and day. Besides, she has a beautiful cabin rented for the weekend in the Cascades. She had it stocked with food and wine, so they could just spend the weekend relaxing together.
Pulling over at the first opportunity, Callie softly wakes Arizona up. "Baby, wake up," she coos into her ear.
A large smile spreads across her face as she wakes to Callie's voice; then slightly confused by the seatbelt restricting her, Arizona glances around the car, "Where are we?" she asks.
"Almost there." Callie says softly kissing her.
Pulling the brunette closer, Arizona deepens the kiss. "Mmm, I hope we're close. I can't wait for this weekend to begin." She says playfully.
Moving back to her seat, Callie watches the blonde put her seat back up and refasten her seatbelt. "Enjoy the view, we're about 20 minutes out."
Looking right at the brunette, Arizona says, "I'm definitely enjoying the view."
Laughing at the blonde, Callie checks the road and then pulls back out.
"Wait, are we in the Cascades?" Arizona asks after a few minutes of driving.
"Yes, I rented a cabin for the weekend." Callie replies.
"A cabin with plumbing I hope?" the blonde asks remembering the Valentine weekend at Derek's trailer.
"Plumbing, hot tub, wifi... don't worry, I know you hate camping." Callie teases.
Pulling up to the lodge, Callie parks the car and runs in to register and get the keys. Arizona takes a moment to get out and stretch a bit. It's really a beautiful area she thinks.
"Okay, all set. Let's go." Callie says walking back out to the car.
"The Lodge is gorgeous, is there a restaurant here too?" Arizona asks as they get back into the car.
"Yes, there is. But we have food at the cabin. Oh and wine. And did I mention the hot tub?" Callie says flashing another devilish smile.
"You may have mentioned that once or twice. Did you bring suits?" Arizona asks.
"It's our private hot tub, why do we need suits?" Callie asks before backing up the car.
"Oh, good point." Arizona replies as she reaches over and takes Callie's hand and holds it up to her mouth to kiss it.
"Thank you." She says, "Thank you for this beautiful weekend."
"Oh you just wait," Callie says playfully biting her lip.
Standing in front of the floor to ceiling windows looking out over the trees, Arizona sighs. "Calliope, this is gorgeous!"
Crossing the room and handing the blonde a glass of wine, "Yes you are," she says thickly as she stands right behind her and wraps an arm around the smaller woman pulling her close.
Turning around into the embrace, Arizona sets her wine down on the window sill, then takes Callie's glass and sets it down too. "Mmm," she moans as she kisses the brunette and wraps her hands around her pulling her closer.
"Maybe we should try out the hot tub first to relax after the long drive. Then I'll fix dinner." Callie suggests.
Reaching up under Callie's shirt, Arizona unclasps her bra and pulls her shirt off over her head. Laughing Callie does the same to the blonde and then the both struggle out of their jeans and remaining clothes before grabbing the wine and moving out to the hot tub.
Just as they slip into the hot tub, Arizona realizes they don't have towels. "Okay, I think we just failed the romantic hot tub maneuver," she exclaims. "We forgot towels."
"Oh there are towels," Callie says thickly pulling her close. "I made sure, they set some out for us."
"Wow, so you've done this before?" Arizona says pulling back a moment.
"Why are we talking?" Callie asks still kissing her way down, Arizona's neck.
Shivering a moment as the brunette sucks that little spot behind her ear that makes her crazy, the blonde stops for a moment and moans, "no more talking..." she says breathlessly.
Waking up the next morning, Callie is surprised to be alone in the bed. Glancing around the room, she sees Arizona's leg but not her crutches, so she must have gotten up. Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, Callie looks over and sees a nice fluffy robe on the chair, so she puts it on and makes her way out to find the blonde.
"Good morning," Arizona says looking up to see her girlfriend entering the room. "There's coffee."
Crossing the room, Callie sits down and leans over to kiss the blonde, "Good morning, why didn't you wake me?"
"Because you love to sleep in." Arizona replies simply.
"Yes, but I love to wake up with you." Callie says pouting slightly.
Leaning over to kiss the protruding lip, Arizona slips her hand under the robe and says, "I'll make it up to you."
"Mmm," Callie moans into the touch. "Arizona, wait. Oh, god." Callie exclaims as the blonde unfastens her own robe and climbs on top of her.
"My god, that was amazing." Callie says later as they lay together on the couch breathlessly.
"That's why I got up this morning, I couldn't lay next you awake and not touch you." Arizona explains.
"Honey, please wake me up and trust that as much as I love sleep, I love sex with you more." Callie replies kissing her for emphasis.
Skeptically, Arizona raises an eyebrow, "I may have to test you on that."
"Please do." Callie replies playfully. "But now I do need some coffee and maybe a snack." She says standing up and putting her robe back on. Then walking over to the kitchen she washes her hands and pours a cup of coffee.
"How hungry are you? Do you want me to cook a full breakfast?" Callie asks as she stands in front of the open refrigerator.
"It's almost 10, I can wait until lunch." Arizona says pouring herself a cup of coffee.
Callie closes the door and watches the blonde. It's still hard for her to get used to how comfortable Arizona is now. Callie can still remember when Arizona wouldn't let her see her without her prosthetic and now it isn't even an issue.
Smiling she turns around and takes a bite out of an apple.
"What are you thinking?" Arizona asks softly as she leans on the counter and sets her crutches aside.
Carefully, Callie crosses the room and reaches out to her, caressing her neck and smoothing out the collar of the robe.
"I'm thinking about how beautiful you look this morning and the crazy path that we've taken to get to this point." She says softly.
"Yeah." Arizona replies thoughtfully. "I wasn't sure we'd ever make it back to this."
"Arizona, I can't tell you how happy I am that we have made it back to this. I love you so, so very much." Callie says tearfully.
Reaching up to wipe away a tear falling from her soft brown eyes, Arizona pulls her close. "Calliope, I love you too."
