Arizona's P.O.V

Joanne leaves and I sit on the bed for a few minutes. I need to go downstairs to let the girls know that I will be taking them home tomorrow. I walk downstairs and see the girls watching a movie.

"Hey, who all rode with Joanne?" Three people collectively said they did.

"Ok, well I'm taking you home tomorrow, Joanne had to leave." I turn back around to go
upstairs.

"AZ, wait where are you going?" Bianca yelled after me.

"I just need to go up to the room and think for a little bit." I turn around and start walking up the stairs. I walk into my room and lay across the bed. I hear the door open and I turn around.

"AZ, what's up?"

"Nothing B"

"No, it's something what is it?"

"Well, I kicked Joanne out tonight and I also told Callie I had feelings for her. Then she kissed me. Now she is gone and I don't know how she is feeling about It."

"She kissed you, so that shows you what she wants."

"B, what if she thinks it was a mistake?"

"I have been hanging out with Callie a lot lately, you know that, and she's amazing. I understand why you fell for her. Don't take that the wrong way either." she giggles. "She is not one to take things lightly. I know she is impulsive, but I don't think she is going to do something she will regret. She seems like the type that does what she does for a reason and doesn't rehash on it. With that being said, I know that you like her, but are you ready to be the one for her. The one to introduce her and bring her through the phases of her sexuality. You know they aren't all good. Are you ready to be her teacher and the one she counts on when she is confused?"

"For her, I'd be anything she needs me to be. If she will let me be the one for her, I'll do what I can to help her through anything."

"Well let her know that. Get some sleep and talk to her in the morning. She did leave her car here right?"

"Yeah"

"Ok, when she comes to get her car talk to her about it. She can say yes or she can say no, and then we will know."

"Thanks B, I think I'm going to get some sleep. Are you crashing up here tonight, or in the living room?"

"Up here I think."

"Ok, you can have half the bed."

"Thanks AZ." She says and walks out of the room to go watch a movie with the rest of the girls. I let my mind wonder and it always goes straight to a little over an hour ago.

That kiss was super. I felt all the little butterflies that they say you feel when you have a crush. I have never felt the butterflies. I know what I wanted and I went after it. Now, with this one girl, I have felt those little things fluttering around in my stomach, and I kind of like it. I want to feel that excited, yay, feeling whenever I get the chance. I pick up my phone and start scrolling through my contacts. I go through the list twice before I stop on a name. 'Callie' Of course, that is the one I would stop on. I hit the new message button and type: 'Hope you have a good night. Sleep well. - AZ"

I don't expect a text back, but I feel my phone vibrate. New Message from Callie: View Now View Later I hit few now and read. 'You too. Good night. - Cal' I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I can't tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing. She didn't mention what happened so I'm not going to. I put my phone on the charger and roll over for a restless night of sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Next Morning

Mark and I had fell asleep after talking a little more about it. I really don't know what I am going to say to Arizona. I really think this is a journey I want to take. I'm not looking at it as an experiment though. If I'm going to do this, it's not going to be a game I'm playing. Arizona deserves better than to be someone's little game. I'm going to talk to her.

"Mark" I say shaking him to wake him up. "Get up Mark. I need to go get my car and talk to her."

"Talk to who? Blondie?"

"Yes, now get up"

"No"

"Mark, wake up I need to sleep with you to test out this 'I'm straight' theory." With that Mark jumps up and I laugh at him. "I'm up, I swear I'm up."

"Good, now take me to Arizona's."

"That's dirty Cal." I laugh and get up to put on my clothes. "Then you strip in front of me. How wrong is that?"

"It's not. Face it you know we aren't sleeping together and the fact is you don't want to sleep with me."

"Shhh, you don't have to let everyone know that." I stare at him like he has lost his mind.

"We are in your bedroom alone, no one can hear me dumb ass. I promise I won't let people know you have a heart and you can just be friends with a girl."

"Thank you for that, now let's go get you a girl that you can't just be friends with." He winks at me and goes to put his clothes on.

We go downstairs and grab a quick breakfast before going out to his car. We hop in and blast some music before backing out of the drive way. We have to stop at the store to get gas before we go to AZ's.

I go in the store and grab an energy drink for me and a jungle juice for Arizona. One night when we were talking she just happened to let it slip that they were her favorite drinks. I grab some gum and see all the candy at the counter. Reeses Cups are her favorite candy. I grab a king sized package, pay, and walk back to the car and we take off to Arizona's.
We get to her house and Mark lets me out of the car. As soon as I shut the door he throws the car in drive and hauls off yelling something about me getting my woman. I walk to the door and start to knock when I hear some of the girls talking.

"Why did the bitch leave last night?"

I turn around and walk off the porch. 'Great Callie, you really messed up this time.' I think to myself. Last night I thought it was ok, she sent me a good night text, I thought that meant something. I turn and walk to my car, start it, and head home. So much for me explaining myself.

"I don't know, I think her and AZ got into a fight. AZ was so mad when she left."

Arizona's P.O.V

I went downstairs to check on the girls before heading back up to wake Bianca up. I run and jump on the bed.

"Good Morning sleepy head." I yell and Bianca rolls over and throws the cover over her head.

"Ugh, why are you in such a good mood this morning?"

"Well, I plan on talking to a particular girl when she comes by to get her car this morning, and I have a feeling its going to go well."

" I'm glad you happy about it, but can I go back to sleep now?"

"No, everyone else is downstairs getting ready to eat and we have to get a move on."

Bianca rolls out of bed and goes to find her clothes. I hear a car door shut and then zoom off, so I figured one of the girls left. I start fixing my hair when I hear another car door shut and then start. I look out of the window just in time to see Callie drive off. I feel my heart shatter into a hundred different pieces. I hoped us talking would go well, but she didn't even try to talk to me. Is she freaking out that bad? I have scared her off. What am I going to do?

I continue on with my day like it doesn't faze me and around seven p.m. I drop the last girl off at her house. I back out of the driveway and take off toward town. I go to the gas station and grab a jungle juice, my secret addiction, some Reeses cups and fill my gas tank up. I drive off and head toward some old back roads to clear my head. All day my mind has wondered to Callie and how to act around her when school comes around Monday. What am I going to do at practice? How is she going to treat me? I'm nervous just thinking about it. I put more pressure on the gas pedal hitting the curves at 50 mph, knowing as sharp as these curves are I should be doing 30. I hit some gravel and my car fishtails. It spins me around in a complete circle, almost putting me in a ditch. That scares me enough to make me quit driving like I'm crazy. It is around 9:30 pm by now and I have successfully lost myself in thought and driving. I think I just might know the place to go to think that is a lot less dangerous.

I get off the gravel road and head back toward town. I drive until I'm pulling into the parking lot of the park. I look around and don't see anyone's car thankfully. I just want to get on the swing and go back and forth as high as I can, losing myself in the feeling of the air whipping through my hair.

I walk past some of the playground equipment making a line drive for the swing set. I look up to see someone on the swings. They are wearing a hoodie, with the hood up, and jeans. They are swinging so high and not looking like they are going to slow down. 'Maybe they are here to do what I came to do.' I think deciding to walk on to the swing. I make it a few steps before the person swings forward so high and leans back knocking their hood off their head. When that happens I see lock dark locks fall from underneath the hood and I immediately know who they belong to.

"Callie?"
