AN: Sorry for the rant last chap. As a thank you I wrote this one, it's got my best attempt at smut in there cause I think the show doesn't show enough between them. Hope you enjoy it, but if you don't like smut just skip down to the paragraph that starts with "Twenty minutes later".
"Don't you want to talk about it?" Arizona asks in between heavy gasps for air as she reaches for the door to her house. I break our kiss to respond with a quick "nope" before pulling her in for another impassioned kiss. She tries to pull away but I suck down on her bottom lip and we fall into the foyer crashing into a wall as I kick the door closed behind me. Propping Arizona up against the wall facing backwards, I begin to unzip her dress while simultaneously kissing the nape of her neck. She's completely flustered and I can feel it as she shakes like a leaf in front of me.
I spin her around giving her dress one hard yank and watch it fall to the floor in a blue pool beneath her. She looks stunned now, but quickly takes my hand and traces it across her small frame. We kiss again and this time she's controlling the kiss and we don't break apart even as we clumsily saunter off to her bedroom. I begin pulling my top off relishing in the sensation of our two bodies in full skin to skin contact. As we reach the bed she pulls away again with a look in her eyes like a lioness ready to pounce on me.
"Please tell me this is sexy sex and not I'm Calliope and I'm avoiding my issues sex." She pleads before coming in for another kiss.
"Because I'm so very close to not being able to stop myself and I really need to know…"
I pull off the rest of my outfit and begin kissing, sucking, and biting down Arizona's side.
"Does it really matter?" I ask kind of devilishly.
"Oh…no, not anymore" comes Arizona's faint reply as I skillfully remove her panties and move her on to the bed. I take my time watching her desire build into a beautiful crescendo. Her back arches as her body involuntarily offers itself up to my mouth. She finally releases herself in a rabid explosion of relief and then falls meekly onto the bed. As she laying there still in recovery I trace up her thigh with my pinky toe and watch her body shiver even more at the sensitive contact.
"Wow that was…um" Arizona is at a loss for words
"Yeah, I know" I smile back at her
"Oh you cocky little minx" she replies while rolling over so that she's straddling me by the hips.
I love the fact that she still uses expressions from the Leave It to Beaver show. It makes me giggle inside when she says things like "Dollars to doughnuts" or "Up a creek without a paddle" and I can't help but chuckle a little bit at the idea of being a "cocky little minx." She kisses me softly and repetitively the breaks to look directly into my eyes as her hand trails its way down to my center. A sly grin sweeps across her face. I might be a minx to her but at times she could be her own little devil.
Twenty minutes later we're lying in bed together just doing the standard after sex cuddle when Arizona suddenly perks up as if she'd been delivered a message by god him (or her) self. She turns to me with that look in her eyes that I've grown to both love and fear. I knew this meant another crazy rant which would lead to another crazy idea from Arizona, but she had me at the perfect moment and she knew it too. It's become quite clear in our relationship that I have a wonderfully bad habit of agreeing to almost anything she wants just after sex. That's how we ended up going to Chuck E. Cheese's for my birth day; it's also how I ended up almost getting cited by the cops for shoving the guy in the rat costume. One time she had an idea to have me clear out a drawer for her in my wardrobe, that turned in to the entire wardrobe and half my closet space. So naturally, I couldn't wait to see what I had gotten myself in to.
"I think it's pretty darn obvious Calliope" she began, "That you're not going to win by protesting and really we could expedite this whole process if you just said yes right away"
"It would help if I knew what I was saying yes to Arizona" I inform her while walking over to her closet and pulling on one of her gray t-shirts. I see her out of the corner of my eye watching me as I walk.
"Enjoying the view." I tease her.
"That is not…" she pauses to watch me bend over "Calliope, I have a great idea and I think you're going to love it this time"
"Go ahead, I'm all ears." I say plopping back on to the bed.
She takes me by the hand and looks at me earnestly, the way a mother would before giving her daughter the talk.
"So we love each other right?" She doesn't give me time to respond so I assume it's a rhetorical question
"I love you, you love me, we're like this big love filled couply family, except…"
Oh no, I didn't dare to ask. My mind was filling in the blanks for me. It was like a bad episode of Match Game with Mipssy Russell and Betty White both giving the most outlandish answers.
"We live like 15 minutes apart and we don't need to"
"Oh yeah they are building those condos across the street from my place, were you thinking about buying?" I ask knowing full well that is not what she was referring to.
"No, Callie I do not want to buy a condo I have a very large, very nice place that would be even nicer if a certain someone would move in with me"
She looks to me for an answer to a question she never really completely asked, but all I can do is stare blankly at her in a vain attempt to avoid the question. I can see her eyes begin to water and I look in to them but all I can see is puffy rain clouds where her baby blues should be.
"Fine, you know what let's just go to sleep" she proclaims turning away from me.
"I didn't say I wouldn't do it" I try to console her.
"It's fine, you don't have to it was just an idea"
"But I never said I wouldn't." I insist. She still won't turn to face me.
"Let's just go to sleep ok, I'm really tired and I have an early morning thing."
Early morning thing my foot! I may not be super perceptive but I know when I'm being played and Arizona Robbins was the maestro in this case. I knew for a fact that she did not have to be in to work until late in the afternoon. However, to keep the ruse up she'd probably wake up at 5:30 in the morning and drive her car down to the hospital while spending the whole day shopping at the market down the street. I was determined not to fall for it this time, so instead of caving like I usually do when she pulls out the water works. I went to sleep.
The day that followed was rather uneventful, except for the whole Arizona ignoring me thing everything was basically routine. I was unfazed by the whole affair since I was the resident queen of ignoring people. If she wanted to ignore me I could ignore her right back. I didn't even react to her puppy dog eyes when she went to sit with the chief again at the cafeteria. Eventually Cristina came around because she was on Arizona's service and wanted me to "Fix it".
"So let me get this straight NuHahn is mad at you because you don't wanna move in with her?"
"First don't call her that it's creepy, and second I never said I wouldn't"
Cristina looks puzzled for a minute then she shakes her head as if she's trying to get back to her train of thought.
"Can I at least tell her you said ok, I mean it's not like you actually have to do it."
"Cristina!"
"She's got an enter-sexed reversal operation in two hours and I want in, so Yes or No?" she does this with her arms spread wide as if they were scales lifting one above the other.
Just then Mark walks over checking over his shoulder I assume to make sure Lexie doesn't see him. He's still got a bit of a bruise on his cheek from where Arizona slapped him but for some reason it seems to be enhancing his appeal.
"I should thank your girlfriend" He announces, "Thanks to her I've got three numbers in the past two hours"
"Mark you're dating Lexie." I remind him.
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean my ego doesn't need to be stroked every now and then. Lex's ok with it, as long as I hand the digits over to her."
I can imagine Lexie would be ok with that. She probably uses them to keep track of all the nurses she should have her eye on.
"So is roller-derby girl still not talking to you? I can go apologize if you need." He offers
"Not gonna help, Callie's fucked up big time. I say move in with her no big deal to me." Cristina replies grabbing the apple off my tray as she walks away. Mark just sits there dumbfounded staring into his mac-and-cheese. I never thought the two of us would be in this position, but here we were two of the biggest commitment phobic people tied down to two sugary rainbow loving loonies, and I couldn't be happier about it if I wanted to.
"Wait, did she ask you to move in with her to get you away from me?" Mark asks putting a pensive wrinkle in his forehead.
"What? I don't know." I had never even thought about that. But before I could think any further on the issue I noticed Arizona staring straight past the chief at me and Mark. Mark must have seen it too because he grabbed his stuff and got up to leave.
"Torres, if I was you I'd do it, but you know you're going to have to find your own way" He said as he walked away to go find Lexie. I wish Arizona got to see that, then maybe she wouldn't be so angry with Mark all the time.
Later in the day I was working with Owen on a man whose hand got crushed at an assembly plant and I again made the mistake of rambling off to him. The guy wouldn't have been so bad off if he hadn't gone in to shock at the sight of his hand. Owen was working to keep his BP stable while I tried to repair what I could. In reconstructing his hand I ran in to a bit of trouble and had to deliver some bad news. The guy's thumb could be reattached, but it would most likely remain without sensation so I wondered if he would rather have it removed.
I've never seen a grown man cry so much over a decision like that, but in that moment he realized how much he loved his thumbs. He kept asking how he was supposed to be able to open a can of Pepsi without it. Owen and I decided it would be best to give him a little space to make the decision on his own so we waited out in the hall.
"You're not Mark" I start "But I can't talk to Mark so you'll have to do"
"Ok" Owen agreed with a nod of his head
"I don't know what to do about Arizona I mean she wants me to move in with her, and she wants an answer now. Only I don't have an answer right now and I don't know when I will" I pause to take a breath and he starts to say something but I accidentally cut him off.
"And I don't even know why she wants me to move in, I thought it was cause of the whole I love you Barney and friends thing, but what if she's just scared of my backup penis?"
Owen shakes his head in absolute confusion and disbelief. "This is how you talk to Mark?"
I nod and he knows that I'm serious.
"Well you'll never know the reason why, if it's love or a backup penis does it really matter? All that counts is your reason." He smiles at me and we look over to see our patient is ready to operate.
"Just one question though" he says holding the door open with the edge of his foot. I already know what it is and I answer instinctively.
"Mark, he was my backup before I met Arizona so now she's all freaked cause…"
"I got it Torres" he cuts me off.
On the walk out to my car after work I'm almost jovial, the kind of mood where nothing on earth could upset you. I know what I want now, Owen was right I needed my own reason and once I found it there was only one thing left to do.
So it's winding down now only a few chapters left I think. Let me know if I got the smut right, I didn't want it to be too dirty cause that seemed out of character.
