Chapter 21

"Arizona?"

The confusion quickly laced with excitement as the words left Callie's mouth. She wasn't sure if she had been imagining it, but as she blinked the image in front of her remained the same. Standing nervously in the doorway, Arizona glanced down at the floor before eventually raising her eyes to meet the brunette. A small smile crept onto her lips.

"Hey." It was barely a whisper; however the smile on Callie's face told her that she had heard it perfectly.

"What are you doing here?" Callie asked gently, her grin growing.

Arizona tentatively stepped further into the room, stopping when she reached the couch. Callie remained seated on the floor, the sofa the only thing separating them. Arizona picked at a random spot on the back of the sofa, suddenly unaware of where her nerves had come from. She had been calm on the way over, confident even, but now as Callie gazed at her expectantly, Arizona felt her insides flip. Even though she hated being so unsure of herself, she was quickly becoming addicted to how the Latina could make her feel.

"I wanted to see you." She spoke honestly, the words bringing a small sense of relief from her nerves. The huge smile on the other woman's face confirmed that her answer had been exactly what Callie had been looking for.

Callie felt her stomach flutter. Dropping the cushion which she had been holding, she moved to sit on the couch, her eyes never once leaving Arizona's.

"I'm really glad that you're here…" They smiled at each other for a moment before Callie silently gestured to the seat beside her. Dropping her bag onto the floor, Arizona moved around the couch and sat beside her. She opened her mouth to speak but Callie immediately closed the gap between them, cutting her off with a chaste kiss. The action caused Arizona to forget whatever it was that she were about to say. "Really glad…" Callie whispered against the blonde's lips before grazing her lips once more. Her hands found Arizona's as she pulled back to look at her.

"What happened to Teddy?" Callie asked, the question causing Arizona to blush profusely.

Averting her eyes, Arizona felt her face grow warmer. "I may have rushed through dinner." She mumbled, sheepishly smiling but refusing to look at Callie.

Callie held her hand a little tighter as she smiled from ear to ear. "You rushed through dinner to see me." It was a more a confirmation than a question, but either way Arizona's confession flooded Callie with warmth.

"Stop smiling like that." Arizona playfully smacked her on the arm, causing Callie to smile more than she already was. "I wanted to see you all day…" Arizona paused for a moment, mentally chastising herself for her sudden need to confess all. She eventually figured that seeing as she had technically started; she may as well finish. "I didn't want you to think that I was some weird, clingy chick who spends the night with someone and then gets overly attached. So I agreed to have dinner with Teddy…but then when I got your text I realised that you wanted to see me just as badly. So maybe feeling this way is ok…" She trailed off from her ramble, meeting Callie's eyes to see that the Latina didn't look impressed.

"So, you think that I'm weird and clingy?" She sounded hurt as she spoke, her words causing Arizona's eyes to bulge as she back tracked the conversation in her head.

"What?" Her own words replayed in her mind and she realised just how it must have sounded to the other woman. "No. I didn't mean you were…I mean you're not. At all. If anyone is weird, it's me!" Arizona panicked, her eyes darting around the room as she tried to think of something, anything to say to make the situation was better. As she was debating just getting up and leaving the room, Callie's laughter interrupted her thoughts.

Cupping her cheek to turn to her to face her, Callie grinned. "Arizona, I was just messing with you…" She smiled but it wasn't returned.

Arizona paused for a moment as her panic slowly started to dissipate. "Oh, you were?"

Callie laughed lightly, her thumb lightly caressing Arizona's cheek. "If wanting to see you makes me weird and clingy…I think I'm ok with that." She nodded, her voice portraying nothing but pure conviction.

The conversation had not gone the way Arizona had planned, and the sudden change had thrown her off course. "No, I never said that you…" She allowed her eyes to once again catch Callie's and saw that the brunette was still smiling. It then clicked. "Oh, you're winding me up again, aren't you?"

Callie nodded as she brought her lips to Arizona's once again. "You're adorable." She whispered, her voice laced with nothing but adoration.

Arizona blushed, her smile returning to her face. "That may be…but I'm still a really bad friend to Teddy…" Although part of her felt bad for rushing through plans with her friend, Arizona knew that she wouldn't have been able to suppress her desire to see Callie for much longer.

Callie smiled brightly as she slowly inched towards Arizona, her hand still on her cheek. "I'm sure she would understand, but if it makes you feel any better, I promise to keep it a secret." She teased before claiming Arizona's lips once again. Arizona smiled into the kiss as response, but as Callie's tongue invaded her mouth, all of her previous thoughts evaporated.

A day's worth of pent up desire and frustration came crashing to the surface as the kiss grew in intensity. Each fought for control as hands and mouths began to explore the newly discovered territory of each other. They moved together as though they had been performing this act for years. Arizona's hands travelled the length of Callie's body, retracing the familiar path she had taken earlier that day. Callie couldn't help the moan which escaped her lips as Arizona's hands continued their assault on her. It wasn't enough; she needed more. Without breaking contact, Callie pushed Arizona down onto the couch, quickly straddling the smaller woman's body.

Her hands soon found their way under Arizona's vest top, caressing each inch of skin as she went. Reaching the material of her bra, Callie's mind immediately flashed back to their activities the night before. Images of Arizona, naked and writhing at her touch, played through her mind. As her hands moved over her bra covered breasts, the moan which left Arizona's lips brought Callie back to reality. A reality where Arizona was still as affected and turned on by Callie's touch.

Breaking the kiss, her lips quickly found Arizona's neck, nipping and kissing at the exposed skin as she went. Arizona turned her head away from the Latina, allowing Callie all the space that she needed. As the kisses worked their way up to Arizona's ear, Arizona grabbed Callie's hips, pulling them down in a crazed search of any sort of friction.

Callie smiled before taking Arizona's earlobe into her mouth. She bit down lightly, her tongue immediately running over the space. "I have thought about you all day…" She whispered into Arizona's ear, earning a guttural moan from her lover. "Kissing you…touching you…fuc…"

"Twelve hundred dollar couch, Cal." Addison's voice, laced with sarcasm, ripped through the living room, cutting Callie off.

Arizona jumped at the sound of a third voice in the room, stifling her laughter as she buried her head into Callie's chest. In the heat of their making out session, she had completely forgotten that they weren't exactly alone, or in private. As Callie slumped on top of her, hiding her face in the blonde hair, Arizona realised that she wasn't the only one who had momentarily lost sense of reality.

"Seriously, you guys ruin that couch with your lady loving and there will be hell to pay." Addison continued as she made her way through the living room and into the kitchen. She knew that Callie would kill her for her comments, but it seemed like too good an opportunity to pass up. She paused in the kitchen as she searched for more wine.

Not making any effort to quickly move, Callie propped herself up on her elbows, staring down at the woman below her. Arizona removed her hands from up Callie's top, placing them instead on Callie's thighs which were still straddling her. As Callie opened her mouth to speak, Addison's voice filled the living room once again.

"I mean, I thought that you were done having sex with women on my couch. Especially after the mess you made last time." She smirked as Callie glared up from the couch at her. She winked at her friend before ducking into her bedroom, where for now she was out of danger. Tomorrow…that would be an entirely different story.

Callie glanced back down to find Arizona staring up at her sceptically, an eyebrow raised.

"She's joking." Callie responded, her cheeks flushing red.

Arizona couldn't help but smile at the adorable look which had taken over Callie's face. Leaning up, she placed a chaste kiss on Callie's lips.

Jumping up from the couch, Callie held out her hand. Arizona allowed herself to be pulled up, their fingers lacing together as they made their way down the hall to the bedroom. Once the door was firmly shut behind them, Arizona let out her laughter.

"I feel as though I'm back in High School. Being caught making out with my…" She caught herself as the word 'girlfriend' almost slipped from her mouth. She knew that she was just joking around, but something about saying the word before things had been discussed seemed a little presumptuous to her. "…a really beautiful girl." She countered, cringing as the words left her lips. Callie, however, hadn't seemed to notice as she led Arizona over to the bed.

"You have to admit though…it was kinda hot…" She whispered, their faces inches apart.

Arizona nodded in agreement as she pushed the brunette down onto the bed. She remained stood for a moment, taking in the stunning sight in front of her. Callie's chest rose heavily as she anticipated Arizona's next move; her face a mixture of lust and excitement.

Grabbing the hem of her vest top, Arizona slowly pulled the fabric up over her body, discarding the item onto the floor. She smirked as she saw dark eyes widen as they roamed over her body.

"So…" She started, moving onto the bed to straddle the Callie, her breasts rubbing up the length of Callie's body as she moved. The action caused Callie's breath to hitch sharply as she felt her body begin to tingle. Moving to her ear, Arizona paused. "You entertain a lot of women on your couch, Calliope?"

Callie wasn't sure if it was the husky tone to Arizona's voice, the fact that her laced clad chest was inches from Callie's face, or the small hint of jealousy that she could have sworn she heard behind the words, but something caused her body to shiver. It may have been a combination of all three; a combination of all things Arizona Robbins.

Pushing up from the bed, Callie managed to flip them in one swift motion. Pinning Arizona's hands above her head, she captured her lips in a searing kiss before leaning back to look her deep in the eyes. "Only the ones I really, really like…" She smiled before kissing Arizona with all the passion and desire that she had.

Arizona wasn't entirely sure what woke her that morning, but as her eyes adjusted to the dim room she quickly realised that she wasn't at home. The warm body which was curled into her, holding her as close as possibly, also told her that she wasn't alone. Turning her head to face her companion, Arizona couldn't help but smile as she took in the sight before her. Callie had many layers of beautiful, but Arizona realised that this, right now, was one of her favourites. Placing a light kiss on the end of Callie's nose, she turned her head the other way to see the clock on the bedside table. 7:20.

She stared at the bold, red numbers for a minute, hoping that maybe she had been mistaken. But as the 20 became 21, the panic began to set in.

"Shit." As she bolted upright in the bed, the arm that had been holding her suddenly came back to life. It had her pulled back into an embrace in less than ten seconds.

"Good morning." Callie sleepily muttered, pulling Arizona's naked body closer into her own. Nestling further into the body which had occupied her dreams, Callie sighed contently while Arizona huffed.

"Callie, I'm late for work." She tried again to move but Callie had a much stronger grip on her. "I need to go home and change."

"Wear what you had on last night." Callie replied, her eyes still shut as she tried to savour the last few seconds of sleep and having Arizona in her arms.

Despite her panic, Arizona couldn't help the laughter which left her body. "Seriously? A vest top and sweats? I can't go to school dressed like that."

Callie opened one eye. "That's what you had one last night?" Her question earned her a playful punch in the side as Arizona eventually managed to wiggle free. Callie had to admit that in the surprise of seeing Arizona, and then the making out followed by the incredibly hot sex, she hadn't really paid that much attention to what clothes the blonde had in fact been wearing.

Before Arizona could step up from the bed, Callie wrapped her arms around her waist pulling her back under the sheets. Before Arizona could protest, Callie's lips were on hers, swallowing whatever words she were about to say.

"I have a wardrobe you know. Borrow whatever you like." She reassured her, smiling as she watched some of the panic wash away from the blue eyes. "Shoes, toiletries, make up, whatever you want. It's yours."

Arizona responded with a kiss, which quickly turned into two and then three. As Callie's hands ran further down her body, it took all of Arizona's willpower to pull herself away.

"No. I'm going to be late." She left one lingering kiss on Callie's lips before jumping out of the bed and out of reach of the Latina.

Callie yawned as she sat up in the bed, covering her naked body with the bed sheet. She watched as Arizona moved around her room in a whirl, helping herself to Callie's things as she had been directed. Despite the panic, Callie couldn't help but feel warmed by the sight in front of her. It were comfortable, natural; as though they had been this way for a long, long time. It both excited and scared her.

Arizona picked out a black, mid length dress. As she slipped the fabric onto her body, she was surprised that it fit almost perfectly, despite her lack of the other woman's bodily curves. Applying a coat of mascara and running her fingers through her now tousled hair, she realised that she was almost ready to go. Almost.

Moving back to the wardrobe, she found her desired object and then groaned. "Calliope!" The panic was back in her voice. "We're not the same shoe size."

"What size are you?"

"7.5"

Callie thought for a second before getting out of bed and putting on a pair of jeans. Arizona watched her silently. Throwing a t-shirt on over her head, Callie ruffled her hair as she made her way to the bedroom door. Even though she was in a rush, Arizona couldn't help but stare. The outfit had been thrown together in less than thirty seconds but Callie Torres looked stunning.

"Wait there a sec."

Two minutes later, Callie returned to the room and handed her a pair of black, court shoes. "7.5" She added with a smile.

As Arizona glanced down, the deep red sole caught her attention. "Callie, I can't wear these." She looked back up to find that the smile still being directed at her.

"Of course you can. We'll call it payback for what she did last night…" Callie winked, rummaging through her wardrobe for her own pair of shoes. Finding a pair of battered converse, she quickly laced them up while Arizona was still staring at the objects in her hand.

"Louboutins as payback? Addison is going to kill you…"

Callie smiled sweetly. "I thought you were going to be late?" She joked, relieved as Arizona eventually put the shoes on the floor and slipped her feet into them. She immediately smiled at the comfort.

"How come you're dressed? Are you working today?" She asked, her back to Callie as she checked her final appearance in the mirror. Improvising clearly worked for her; she looked fairly good. Spinning back around, she caught the unsure smile on Callie's face.

"I'm off today. I was actually going to walk you to work if that's ok…" She trailed off, unsure whether or not she had done the right thing. She knew that Arizona's school was only a couple of blocks from there; they'd make it in plenty of time.

Her eyes looked questioningly at Arizona, waiting for a response. A warm smile washed over Arizona's face.

"That's more than ok." She closed the gap between them, her lips claiming Callie's.

As they broke apart, Callie's smile was replaced with her usual, confident grin. "You ready to go Miss Robbins?" She held out her hand which Arizona quickly took.

"Oh, wait." Arizona pulled them back into the room, stopping at Callie's dressing table. She paused for a moment before reaching for Callie's perfume bottle, spraying the liquid onto her neck. Immediately, the intoxicating scent of Callie filled all of her senses. She knew that she was probably playing with fire; there was no way that she would be getting the Latina off her mind now. But she couldn't help it. At least in some way, she would have her fix of Callie while she was at work.

Callie gazed curiously at her, although the small gesture had made Callie's stomach flutter. Arizona blushed, a sheepish smile playing on her lips.

"Come on. I'm late." She tugged on Callie's hand, lacing their fingers as they headed out of the apartment.

Addison! Gotta love her ;)

Anyway...would love to hear your thoughts...please :)
