"Sorry?" I called back, almost in disbelief what I was hearing, my heart pounding in anger

"I said, Arizona doesn't do commitment. I know who you are and you are in over your head little girl if you think Arizona wants a child run away like you" the stranger said bitterly.

"What would you know? You don't know me" I defended angrily, storming towards the stranger.

"Oh please you're a Torres, yet you're poor so either you ran away or was disowned" My head bowed down at the latter. "Ha, even better! See your own family didn't even want you and you really think you are mature enough for Arizona."

"How do you know I'm a Torres?" I questioned, furrowing my brows.

"I still have friends on campus who like to keep me updated; besides it's not hard to find out about a wealthy family like yours."

"You're Joanne, aren't you?" Suddenly it all made sense. She was shorter than I imagined, with poker straight blonde hair framing a fierce looking face ending in a pointed chin. Her eyes were grey, almost green and narrow.

"Well it's nice to hear Arizona still talks about me" she mocked

"I wouldn't be too happy. She said you're a psychotic bitch" I snarled, squaring up to her

"Is that right?"

"Pretty much, I may have embellished a little" I said hotly, irritation bubbling within me.

"I'd back down if I were you."

"Or what?"

"Listen honey, I don't have to do anything. Arizona will soon realise that she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life with a worthless child, nor does she believe in marriage and as soon as she wakes up to that she'll come running back to me because I give what only a woman can give. So if I were you I'd forget about this puppy love pipe dream you have, sweetheart." Before I could process what she had said, she spun on her heel and walked away leaving me speechless and clenching my fists in the middle of town.

The rest of the afternoon was a blur as I replayed those woman's words in my mind, I couldn't concentrate on present shopping. I knew I should trust Arizona over her but those words, they hit a nerve and it stung. My dream since I was little was to have the big lavish wedding to the person of my dreams and live happily ever after. Even though it's only been just over 2 months I kind of saw that with Arizona but if she's not the marrying type how can I continue a relationship that could be heading nowhere? However, she was everything to me. I couldn't imagine my life without her, she was my life.

I arrived back at Arizona's parents and quickly ran upstairs to hide the gifts. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't trying to hide, I'm not sure I can face Arizona right now. Reaching her room, I breathe a sigh of relief realising she is in the shower. Quickly hiding the bags in my suitcase, my heart pounding, I head for the door, hoping to make a quick escape downstairs -

"Hey baby" Arizona chirped cheerfully, wrapping a towel around her damp body as she emerged from the bathroom, smelling delicious.

"Oh hey" I said nervously, fiddling with my hands and dropping my gaze to the floor.

"You ok?" She frowned, dropping her towel to the floor suggestively. I could tell she was trying to get my attention, "I'm dripping wet and naked here Callie! I haven't seen you all day and you're still preoccupied with the floor!" she jested, smirking. "Seriously you ok?"

"Peachy" I said with false enthusiasm.

"Ok" she shrugged, grimacing. I could tell she wasn't buying it, I could tell it would lead to awkward questions later when we were out of earshot of her family.

To avoid being questioned further by Arizona, I busy myself helping her Mom with dinner. As we gather together for dinner, Arizona eyes me intently from across the table, knowing that there's something wrong. That girl can read me like a book; I know she's starting to worry as to what's wrong. Joanne's words swirling around my brain along with her mom's drunken ramblings. Was Arizona a commitment phobe? Was she just stringing me along for the ride then toss me to the side like Joanne when things get heavy? I'd fallen in love with Arizona, I wanted to tell her but now, now I was scared. I don't want her to freak out and run. I could see myself marrying this woman, hell; I could see us having kids. I'd always dreamed of having a big family and Arizona was the first person that made me feel that dream was a reality.

"You're quiet tonight Callie" Daniel calls across the living room, "Sure you're ok?"

I briefly catch a glimpse of Arizona. She's staring at me, looking concerned. "I'm fine" I smiled forcefully, "Just tired after a day of shopping. I think I'm going to go to bed if that's ok though."

"Of course dear" Barbara added, kindly.

"Yeah I think I'm going to go too Mama" Arizona interjected gruffly, getting up from her seat.

"Hope you girls feel better in the morning" Daniel called after us as Arizona strode past me towards the stairs.

Once we were alone, Arizona silently entered the bathroom and locked the door behind her as I undressed myself and sided into bed. I could tell my mood had irked her, sure I was giving her the silent treatment and she hadn't done anything wrong 'per say' but I couldn't help feeling the way I did.

I heard the bathroom door unlock as Arizona emerged wearing a pair of comfy long sleeved, long legged pale blue pyjamas – attire I was certainly not used to, clearly nothing was happening tonight and Arizona's passive aggressive attempt at making this clear had only irritated me more.

"Night then" I said flatly, as Arizona pulled back the covers and slid in, keeping as much distance between us as possible.

"So that's it then?" she said curtly. "Not even going to mention why you've been in such a foul mood since you got back from town? Even my parents noticed, I asked what was wrong and you just brushed it off. So no Callie, it's not nothing, you tell me what's bothering you." She ranted, propping herself up onto her elbows.

"You really want to know? I want to have a proper discussion about it, I don't want you to fly off the handle" I warned her, turning over to face her.

"What Callie? Just tell me" she begged.

"Fine. Look if you must know, I bumped into your ex, literally, when I was in town."

"Joanne? You spoke to her?" Arizona asked, her voice shaking ever so slightly.

"Well, she spoke to me. She'd heard about, I don't know how, but she knew a lot. She knew I was a Torres and your girlfriend and-"

"-I see where this is going Callie and if we're really going to have this conversation again then I'm going to bed!" she snarled, flopping herself over. "You're going to trust hearsay and rumours and words from my absolute psycho ex-girlfriend, did you even listen to anything I told you about her-"

"-See if we can't ever talk about this Arizona-"

"-because there's nothing to talk about! Clearly you've already believed whatever bullshit she fed you!"

"Arizona! Just shut up and let me talk to you."

"Ugh. Fine" she grumbled, turning onto her back and folding her arms across her chest. "Go on then, what lies did she tell you?"

I chose to ignore Arizona's comment. I had to know, I wanted to discuss it like adults. I needed to know I wasn't wasting my time.

"Do you see a future, with us I mean? I need to know Arizona. I need to know this is going somewhere, not like right now. But down the line"

Arizona took a deep breath before speaking. "You mean like marriage?"

"Well…yeah" I replied awkwardly.

"Honestly Callie, I never saw myself getting married"

"Oh" was all I could muster up as I stared, dejected at the floor tears pooling in my eyes.

"What did she say to make you ask?" Arizona asked, rolling her eyes.

"She kind of made you out to be a commitment phobe and that you didn't want marriage. Which is apparently true and I want marriage and a commitment. I've dreamed of the big fancy wedding and I guess I could see that with you but if that isn't happening maybe we should break up before it's too painful." I rambled as a tear rolled its way down my cheek. Arizona sat up, moving her body closer to mine. She raised a hand and gave me a soft smile, gently wiping the tear away from my face. I felt my stomach knot at her soft touch.

"Hey, we are not breaking up. I didn't want marriage mostly because I thought I couldn't get married but I'm definitely not a commitment phobe. I'm committed to you whether we get married or not and I see a future with you too." She said sincerely as she held my face in her hands and lifted my head until our eyes met. "Maybe I didn't see myself in a big white dress but I see myself with you. Besides we are too young to be thinking about it yet and should be doing other things." She smirked unbuttoning her top as I quirked an eyebrow at her, giving her a suggestive smile.

After undressing quicker than I have ever seen and slipping under the covers with me, she pulls my naked body on her placing feather light kisses along my collar bone. I feel my body begin to tremble in anticipation, yet relax and meld into her at the same time. I'd been craving Arizona's touch all day, her kisses were already making me crazy, I could feel my arousal pooling between my legs.

"I love you so much" She whispered in my ear, as her hands nimbly roamed my body, touching every inch of me. She thrusts her thigh into my core, eliciting a gasp from me and causing my nails to dig deep into her back.

"Baby you're so wet for me." She grinned as she grinds her leg into my core again.

"Yeah… it's all for you" I hummed in enjoyment as I feel her body start to respond as we gyrate into each other and my wetness collecting on her leg.

I reach down between us and take her semi-hard dick into my hand and begin to pump her length. She snakes her hand down between us and runs her finger between my wet folds, softly stroking my clit. I latch my lips onto hers and drove my tongue into her mouth in an attempt to stifle a moan as she playfully nipped at my bundle of nerves causing me to shudder. I feel her hardening member teasing my entrance as it rubs against my pussy coating itself in my juices.

"Arizona I want you now." I demanded as I straightened up and lined her up with me. I took hold of her full erection and teased my own entrance, watching Arizona clutch the bedsheets in pure ecstasy.

"Hmm, baby…stop…I'm going to come if you carry on doing that" she breathed.

I knelt up and guided her cock in. Placing my hands on her chest, I flick my thumbs, softly massaging her nipples as I roll my hips, riding her hardened dick.

"You feel so good around me," she moans, thrusting up into me to match the fast pace I've set. In this moment we just have a want for each other and need to feel the closeness of bringing each other to an orgasm. I feel a rush of lust. Maybe it was love or passion. Perhaps all three, yet right now, it's just Arizona and I. Watching her approach orgasm, Arizona begins to bit her lip and toss her head back. I can tell she's about to come, I know it. I go faster and harder as Arizona drives herself harder and deeper into me, reaching my sweet spot. I feel so close as my walls close around her, I know that I am about to come undone.

"Baby I'm about to come" Arizona breathed, her body beginning to tremble causing a delicious friction between us. I feel her pre-cum oozing inside of me and I can tell she is about to explode and it's enough to send me over the edge.

"Arizonaaaa" I cried out, digging my nails into her chest and throw my head back as I convulse, riding out my orgasm. I hear her groan and feel her cum spurt deep inside me as my pussy pulsates around her.

"Callie…God….." Arizona exclaims as she comes down from her intense climax. "I love you Calliope" she smiles as I rest my head onto her chest. I can feel her heart beating rapidly.

"I love you too" I said, nuzzling wearily into my girlfriend's neck. I was certainly tired and ready for bed now! "We're ok then?" I asked nervously.

"Of course we are baby" Arizona replied, sleepily.

"And we're on the same page?"

"Huh?" she groaned, drowsily opening one eye.

"Getting married" I stated firmly, now starting to wonder whether she'd even listened to a word I'd said.

"I told you" she began, smiling sleepily, "I never saw myself getting married, but if it makes you happy then I'll do it for you in the future."

I contemplated her words for a second, my heart beginning to race. "Well obviously not now but I want you to get married because you want to Arizona" I mumbled. My words are met with soft snores coming from Arizona's side of the bed…
