AN: So, this is the part where it starts to get into the M-ish chapters. We're not completely there yet, but we have the overly tingly feelings and the curiosity going through their bodies. Enjoy!

Chapter 4 – I just... mhmm

"I'm staying the night at Calliope's!", Arizona announced as she rushed down the stairs and past the living room where her parents were sitting, drinking coffee like they usually did on Saturday afternoons. If she was lucky, she'd make it through the door without being stopped by her father.
Ever since Callie had moved back in with her parents ten months ago, her father gave her a lecture every so often about their rules and because he hadn't done that in a few weeks now, she was afraid, today would be one of those days. She already had a good grip on the handle, as her mother's voice reached her ear.

"Arizona Robbins, stop right now!"

Rolling her blue eyes and slowly letting go of the handle, she turned around. "Mom", the blonde started as she entered the living room. "I know the rules. You're telling me for more than two years now, I can recite them in my sleep!" She made a serious face and lifted her index finger as if she was giving a lecture. "No sex. No staying up longer than midnight. No sleeping in until noon. No scary movies." Though she was very much okay with the last one because she hated those movies, she didn't need the other ones. She was still okay with watching her beloved Disney movies... but Callie would probably stop watching movies with her if it would always be one of them.

"I just wanted to remind you to be back before lunch tomorrow, because your grandparents are coming over", Barbara said, laughing at the facial expression her daughter was making.

"Oh... okay", she chirped with a wide grin. "Can I go now?"

"Is your homework done?", Daniel wanted to know.

"Homework? What homework?"

"Dimples..."

"Of course, dad. Calliope and I did them in school."

"I don't know if I should be happy about that or if I should tell you to focus in class", her father said, shaking his head. Both girls seemed to have absolutely no problems in school. No matter the class, they were on top and even helped their classmates if needed.

"We focus. We're just always finished before the others. We're super smart."

"We raised a very modest daughter, Daniel", Barbara chuckled. "So, 1pm, Arizona. Not ten minutes late like the last time. We're not waiting for you to start lunch again."

"Got it, mom", the girl replied annoyed.

"Watch your tone, Arizona. Just because you're fifteen now, doesn't mean you can talk to us like you're talking to your friends", Daniel scolded her.

"I am sorry. Can I please, pretty pretty please go now?", she asked, flashing them her best dimpled smile. She just wanted to go and see her girlfriend. They were going steady ever since the summer they labeled their relationship and when Arizona turned fifteen, Callie uttered the words the blonde wanted to hear so desperately. The memory of the first I love you still gave her butterflies at the size of elephants even more so, because the Latina had said them first. Of course she'd said it back. There was no way she could have hold those words back any longer. They were still on first base though. Maybe a few inches away from second, but up until now, there hadn't been much more than kissing and some on top of their clothes touching and Arizona wanted, needed to change that. The thought of the brunette's body gave her all kinds of weird feelings. Good weird. She yearned to touch her skin. Maybe, once they were snuggled up under the blanket, she could try and start at Callie's stomach and make her way upwards to the Latina's chest. Maybe she'd have to distract her with some kisses, but that was something, the blonde would do in a heartbeat. Her girlfriend was hot, as far as she was concerned. And the most beautiful girl she'd ever seen and she wasn't the only one to notice.

"Yes", her mom finally breathed out and released the blonde from the spot where she was waiting. As soon as that word left her lips, her daughter was out of sight, soon followed by the sound of a door falling into the lock. "She's even more happy since Calliope told her she loves her", Barbara sighed.

"I never thought it was possible, but she is. I am happy for her, too."

"Me too", she answered and smiled at her husband and added with a wink, "And it's better than shooing away all the potential boyfriends."

"There would be no way she'd spending the night over there if Calliope was a boy." Though he had his problems in the beginning and needed some time to adjust, his daughter's relationship was one of the purest and deepest he'd ever witnessed, much like his own marriage. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't be against a love as beautiful as this.

"I know, darling. I know."

When the Latina opened the front door, she was immediately pushed backwards by a smaller but strong girl and before she could even say hello, a pair of soft lips was pressed against her own so fiercely, it took her breath away.

"Hey", Arizona rasped as she detached herself from her girlfriend's mouth and grabbed the brunette's left hand instead.

"Hey yourself", Callie answered as she found her voice. "What was that for?"

"Nothing. I just missed you and wanted to give my girlfriend a proper hello", the blonde smiled.

"You've seen me on the court this morning", the girl countered. "And afterwards."

"Yeah", Arizona answered and swallowed at the image of Callie's long toned and tanned legs in her volleyball shorts and her upper body in the 'Captain Torres' shirt. When they were freshmen in High School, Callie had joined the volleyball team and Arizona, of course, joined the school's swimming team, but unlike in Junior High, Callie was not the team leader anymore. Which was totally fine with the Latina, but Arizona loved her girlfriend's Captain shirt so much, she kept it and sometimes wore it for the nights when they were not together. Which unfortunately was every night except for Friday's and Saturday's. Anyways, now they were Juniors and Callie was named Captain again, right after the summer break actually, and that made the blonde really proud, because she deserved it. She was so good and although she was a left-hander, she practiced really hard for more than a year and now she could serve and smash with both hands. Not equally accurate, but it took her foes by surprise when she sometimes used her right hand instead of her left. And she jumped so high, arching her back to get the most possible power behind her hits. God, Arizona had it bad. Like, really bad.

"You wanna go upstairs? We can start with the movie already. Susan and Liam are out for dinner and said we should just order pizza if we get hungry." "Really?"

"Yeah", Callie smiled.

"So, we're alone?", Arizona asked, wriggling her eyebrows. That was rare. Usually, one parent was at home. It wasn't because they didn't trust the girls. It just was. But now...

"Yes", the Latina affirmed her and headed for the kitchen. "Water and Coke okay?"

"Sure", the blonde called out while toeing off her shoes and a minute later her girlfriend came back, a bottle in each hand and two cups upside down on top of one of them. "Do you need some help?"

"No, I got it", Callie replied. "Can you just open the door to my room?"

The dimpled girl smiled and sprinted up the stairs only to greet Callie, holding the door open for her and making a bow while saying, "My Lady."

"You're such a goof sometimes!"

"But you love me", she pouted.

"I do. So, so much." She put the bottles and the cups down on her desk and turned around to face the blonde. Pulling the blonde closer by her hand, she put her arms around the smaller girl's frame and breathed in the scent of Arizona's shampoo. "You're my goof."

"Oddly, I'm very okay with being your goof" Arizona grinned and captured Callie's lips in a soft kiss. She felt the grip around her waist tighten as she traced her girlfriend's bottom lip with her tongue and her hands tangled in soft dark tresses. God, she loved the Latina's hair. It was so long and fell in silky soft waves over her shoulders. It was just stunning. Calliope was stunning.

"We should", Callie started but was cut off by the blonde's lips. "Start with", she tried again, when Arizona needed to take a breath but was stopped immediately. "A movie."

"Mhmm... I like what we're doing right now", Arizona breathed against full lips. Her body and mind were running on overdrive and she just couldn't stop it.

Turning her head to the side as Arizona tried to kiss her again, Callie said, "Seriously, I mean it."

"Fine", the blonde huffed.

"You mad?"

"No. I'll go and change", she answered and left Callie alone.

Knowing Arizona had meant 'yes', she inhaled deeply. She didn't want to stop. God, she never wanted to stop kissing her girlfriend. But there was only so much she could handle without losing control over her actions. And when Arizona kissed her like that controlling herself was one of the hardest things.
Shaking her head to get rid of the thoughts, she pulled her hoody over her head and when she turned around again, Arizona was standing there, dressed in a pair of shorts and a gorgeous tight shirt, revealing her absolutely magnificent body. She'd changed so much over the last year. Both of them did, but Callie noticed every change her girlfriend's body had gone through. She was still sporty and pretty thin, but she had hipbones to die for and Callie knew they were hidden under the dark blue fabric.

"I am sorry", the blonde mumbled and kissed her on the cheek. "Which movie will it be for tonight?"

"I thought about... Stardust? I know you like that one and it's not Disney", she joked.

"Oooh, Yvaine is so beautiful when she's glowing!", Arizona beamed, clapping her hands.

"So?", Callie asked, raising one of her eyebrows Susan had lately started shaping for her.

"I mean, not as beautiful as you, of course not. But she glows", Arizona stated.

"Yeah yeah, I know. Maybe I should find a way to glow too", the Latina teased, nudging the blonde's hips with her own. "So, start?"

"Yes, please!"

"Aawww, look at that. They love each other and just don't admit it", Arizona squealed when Tristan had just pushed Yvaine out of the way to protect her and ended up landing ungracefully on top of her. She snuggled impossible closer to her girlfriend who had one arm around her to hold her near and the other one was laying lazily on her stomach, their fingers intertwined.

"Mhmm", the brunette hummed. She'd stopped paying attention to the movie a while ago. Somehow she found the rising and falling of the blonde's chest a lot more interesting.

"They are so cute. And she's way better than that chick he still thinks he wants to marry."

"Mhmm."

"And she's a star! A star! That Victoria girl wouldn't stand a chance even if she was the most kind-hearted person in the world... which she is so not!"

"Mhmm."

"And I think we should ditch school and become a pair of homeless teenagers", Arizona mused when she noticed that Callie was not listening.

"Mhm- wait, what?"

"Oh, now you're listening", the blonde teased and looked up to see those amazing big brown orbs she got lost in more often than not.

"I'm sorry", the Latina answered and blinked a few times to get the pictures she'd just imagined out of her head.

"Mhmm", the dimpled girl hummed and closed the small distance between them to catch her girlfriend's lips in a slow kiss. But as the music in the background increased, their kiss did as well and soon tongues were dancing with and against each other, both girls equally trying to be the one in charge and to control their raging hormones.

Arizona was the first one to throw caution to the wind when she pushed her body even more into Callie's, ending up on top of her, much softer than the guy in the movie.

"What are you-?", Callie tried to ask a question as the blonde took a few seconds to fill her lungs with some much needed air, but was soon stopped by the beautiful pair of lips that belonged to her amazing girlfriend. Her brain wasn't even able to comprehend everything that was happening. She felt the smaller girl's body pushing her deeper into the cushions and a hand wandering down her upper body. Nothing they hadn't done before. But when Arizona's lips moved from her mouth over her yaw-line to her neck, something stirred inside her.

"You're so beautiful", Arizona whispered as she followed the plan she'd made up earlier.

"You don't want to... want to watch... the... the movie?", the young Latina stammered.

"Mhmm, I have something better in mind."

She gulped, audible, and it was so embarrassing. But the blonde's kisses felt too good and as much as Callie tried, her body betrayed her as well as her voice when a small moan escaped her lips.

Grinning, Arizona took her girlfriend's reaction as the affirmation she needed and let her hand glide down the toned stomach and under the hem of Callie's shirt. She felt the muscles twitch under her fingertips and it made her all tingly and smiling. Taking all the courage she could muster and ignoring her nerves, she let her fingers ghost further over her girlfriend's skin, all the while kissing her way back to those full lips she was addicted to. She could feel the elevation of every single bone as her left hand moved along the brunette's costal arch. Just a few more inches and she would be able to feel Callie's breast and everything in her body screamed that she couldn't wait any longer. The skin under her hand was so soft, so smooth. Every nerve ending in the tips of her fingers seemed to be made to ignite a light in her body when she finally reached her goal, her skin finally making contact with the underside of the Latina's breast. "Oh God", she groaned out.

Callie's eyes flew open as she recognized what they were about to do. Her hand jerked upwards and grabbed the blonde's under her shirt. "Stop."

"What?", Arizona asked bewildered and thought she'd done something wrong.

"We should stop."

"You don't like it?" Suddenly, doubts, nerves and insecurity filled her small body, replacing all the good feelings she'd had in an instant. She rolled over and sat up, pulling her legs close to her body.

"What? No! Of course I like it. But we're not ready." Sitting up as well, Callie cupped the blonde's cheeks with her hands.

"Well, I am", Arizona stated, blue eyes locked with brown as she said the words.

"No, you're not. And even if you were, we agreed we'd wait until we're both at least 16."

"You are 16."

"But you're not, Arizona."

"I hate it. I want to be able, allowed to touch you. I love you."

Callie smiled. She felt the same. Both, the love and the want. But she knew it was the right thing to stick to their original pact.

"Do you not want to touch me? Or me touching you?"

"Of course I do, Arizona. God", she kissed her girlfriend with so much force, they almost fell over. "Don't think that I don't want it. I want it. All of it. And maybe we can agree to take it a step further... or two. But we're not ready to do it, yet. I am not ready."

Taking a few minutes to think about the brunette's words, Arizona finally nodded and agreed. "You're right. I am not ready to do it, yet. But I want to... do more than just kissing."

"I think that can be arranged", Callie answered and flashed the blonde her megawatt smile and closed the distance between them again while tugging a few loose strands of blonde messy curls behind the other girl's ear.

"Yay", Arizona breathed out before their lips met again and she let her hands get tangled in her girlfriend's hair again.

"Knock knock", Arizona knocked on the partly open door of her girlfriend's bedroom before she stepped in. "What are you doing?"

"Hey you", Callie smiled and looked up from where she was sitting at her desk, a sheet of paper, three different pencils and an eraser in front of her. "Just a little drawing. You just got back from swimming practice?" Secretly, she hid the original picture and turned her work upside down.

"Mhmm", the blonde hummed and walked over to the Latina to greet her with a light peck on a tanned cheek. She'd been practicing a little harder for a few weeks now to have a shot at the next match, because her coach wanted her to try to swim against older girls. And older meant taller and probably stronger. She was not supposed to win this, but being the competitive one her girlfriend was, Arizona spent much of her free time in the water to get better and faster. "Aren't you supposed to be careful with your wrist?"

"My right one is the one that is sore", she replied. It was nothing, really. It was just a little sore from last week's match because she thought she could get to the ball in time, so she plunged towards it and twisted her right hand. Nothing too serious, just a light sprain. Injuries like that came with the sport, actually and it happened to her a few times over the years. "Did you even go home before you came here?"

"No. I called mom, though. She knows I am here and that's all she wants. I thought we could spend the night together, since it's Thanksgiving tomorrow and there's no way dad would let me stay overnight as soon as my grandparents arrive."

"Most likely not", Callie chuckled and leaned back, completely forgetting what she had been doing. "NO!", she burst out as she noticed a pale hand reaching out for the paper and jumped up to turn Arizona around. "You can't see it."

"Why? Is it a secret"?

"No. It's not finished."

"I have seen many of your unfinished drawings before, Calliope. They are still perfect. I love them."

"But this one is special."

"Because...?"

"Because I say so", the Latina answered and pulled Arizona in for a kiss to distract her. She closed the gap between them, put her arms around the smaller frame of her girlfriend and locked their lips. Sometimes she thought she should be used to kissing Arizona by now, but every time they kissed, she got all tingly and the butterflies in her stomach didn't seem to go away.

"Mhmm, not fair", Arizona breathed as she let go of Callie's lips. "You use my weak point to your advantage."

"I learned that from you", the brunette smiled. "So, you're staying the night?"

"If that's okay?"

"Seriously? That shouldn't even be a question. I just tell Susan you're staying."

Arizona shrugged and tried to look past Callie to get a glimpse of the drawing when she said, "She already knows. Told me dinner will be waiting for us in about twenty minutes. Oh, and she told me to check if you were still alive because apparently, you've been in here for more than three hours and she didn't hear anything from you, not even some music."

"You're joking, right?"

"Of course", the blonde grinned and tried again to turn them around and look at the picture. When she failed again, she pouted. "Seriously, Calliope. What's so special about this picture?"

"It is special, can we please leave it at that?", the young Latina pleaded.

Not satisfied with the answer, Arizona tried to cross her arms in front of her chest. "No. I'm your girlfriend, I want to know."

"You can't just play the girlfriend card every time you want something and I say no", Callie laughed. "That's not how it works."

"Pleeeeeeeease", Arizona said, a wide grin on her lips and batting her eyelashes at the other girl.

"No."

"But I said plea-"

"And I said no", she countered.

"Calliope, come on. It's not like it's my birthday present or something because my birthday is months away and even Christmas is still weeks away."

With a lopsided smile, Callie answered, "Maybe I like to be prepared?"

"Please", Arizona asked again, the pout on her lips got even bigger.

Not being able to stand the look in her girlfriend's shining blue eyes, she caved and gave in. "Fine. But it's not finished AND-"

"I don't care", the blonde interrupted her girlfriend and stepped out of the strong embrace, but kept an eye on her, just in case Callie would change her mind. She reached out for the sheet of paper once again and when she was sure she wouldn't be stopped again, she turned it around and looked at it.

"Like I said, it's not finished. Far from it. There are still some things I have to redo and some guidelines to erase and-"

"Sush!"

"Arizona..."

The blonde didn't say anything else. Her eyes were fixed on the drawing. One could clearly make out two dimpled smiles and two sets of bright shining eyes that were pretty close to perfect. She wouldn't see any difference if she would look in the mirror or at her brother for that matter. "How did you-?"

"Uhm, it's one of the pictures I took of the two of you last year. Timmy was all muddy after his soccer match because it had rained for the whole week except for that Saturday. But he won and had to hug his big sister, getting you all muddy too."

"Oh, I remember. I couldn't even be mad at him because he scored like what? Five times? It was a really good day and we got pizza and ice when we got home."

"It was", the Latina smiled and hugged the blonde from behind.

"But why are you doing this?", Arizona asked, leaning back to be as close as possible to the warm body behind her.

"Uhm... I want to give it to your parents for Christmas."

She moved her head to the left and looked up. "For real?"

"Yeah, is that a bad thought?"

"No! Mom will love it! She might even start to cry and hug you for a looooong time, so you better watch out", Arizona winked and turned around. She nuzzled her nose into Callie's neck and inhaled the scent that screamed Calliope for her. "I love you", she whispered.

"I love you, too."

"Girls, dinner is ready", Susan shouted from downstairs, startling her daughter and Arizona.

"Coming!", they yelled in unison and giggled as they noticed it.

"Come on, artist. You need nutrients and fluids and so do I."

"Yes, ma'am", Callie joked and followed her girlfriend.

After dinner, where their hands had been entwined under the table for most of the time, they headed back upstairs and Callie cleaned up the mess she'd made on her desk, while Arizona zapped through the TV channels, finding nothing but crap.

"There's nothing on", she huffed.

"We can always start a DVD, Arizona", Callie replied with a small smile.

"We know all your movies."

"We know all of yours too."

"We need new movies. More movies. We need a whole room full of movies!"

The Latina couldn't hold back the laughter that was erupting her lips.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"Me? Never. Just... a whole room? A little excessive, don't you think?"

"No. I need at least every Disney movie and then some more!", the blonde exclaimed.

Callie just laughed again. Her girlfriend was still a hopeless case when it came to her beloved kids movies. Even her little brother thought it was annoying sometimes, but the brunette loved every little thing about her girlfriend. Her preference for Disney as well as her dedication for swimming and school.

"I am serious!"

Turning around to the blonde who was lying on her bed, she smiled. "I know. But what do we do until you get all those DVDs?"

"I don't know", Arizona grumbled.

"Maybe you'll find something you want to watch now?", Callie suggested. She knew Arizona would find something once she'd take a look, because after school today, she got two new movies. She just hadn't told her girlfriend because she would squeal – loud.

"Fine", she huffed, jumped of the bed and walked over to the shelf where the Latina had her movie collection lined up from A to Z, which Arizona still found a bit odd, but it was just who Callie was. Her room was always tidy. Everything had its place and though she loved to make a mess out of her room just as much as Arizona loved it, she made sure to clean it up before going to bed or leaving the house. "Wait, something's different."

"Different?"

"Yeah. I know this shelf almost as good as my own and something looks different."

Callie smirked. Yep, Arizona was smart and had pretty good eyes as well.

"Ha! I knew it! I so knew it!", Arizona squealed and clapped her hands while bouncing back and forth on her feet. "You got new ones! You got new movies and didn't tell me. Why didn't you tell me? And when did you get them?"

"After school. I had so much time and I know you. I knew you were coming over and I knew you wanted to stay and I knew you would complain about everything that's on the television."

"Am I that obvious?"

"No, baby", Callie walked up to the blonde and placed her hands on the small hips of her girlfriend. "I just know you for more than half of my life."

"Right", Arizona agreed, welcoming the kiss that the brunette leaned in for.

"So, which one will it be for tonight?"

"I don't know", she sighed.

"Seriously? It's not that hard."

"It is!", the girl objected. "I love love love Morning Glory, but I also want to see August Rush."

"Well, I love love love Morning Glory too", Callie mocked. "She reminds me of you. She's so-"

"Watch your words, Missy!"

"Happy and eager and full of energy."

"Oh... okay", the blonde smiled and kissed the full lips of her girlfriend again. "So... Morning Glory?" She knew very well, that Callie had bought this one only for her, like half of her collection, actually. She even had a few Disney movies to watch with her. It was one of the things Arizona loved about her. The little things Calliope did for her.

"Sure", she answered with a smile and snapped the DVD case out of the blonde's hand. "You wanna go and change first?"

"Nah, there's still enough time for that. It's not that late."

"Okay."
