A/N I know it's taken me a really really long time to post this but I was camping so I couldn't really do anything about that.
Callie's POV
We walked to Tony's laughing and just talking. When we entered the restaurant I was surprised to see that there were plenty of tables open and not many people waiting. A waitress took us to a table for two and handed us our menus.
Throughout the dinner we talked about small things like our favorite things and our pasts. Neither of us had realized that we had been talking for two hours. It was 8:30 now so we decided to leave and just walk around town for a while. We walked by a few buildings before Arizona spoke.
"When I was 14 I lived in Pennsylvania. We weren't even there for an entire year. In Pa there was this girl, Maria," I didn't like where this was going. "we were friends. She called me before when I was getting ready. She told me that her mom got a promotion and the job is in Miami. I promise you, this isn't how I feel but she seems to think that because we kissed a few times that we were together. She seems to think we had 'something special' and she thinks that we are going to get 'back together'."
I sighed at the fact that Arizona told me she didn't feel the same about this girl. It was a huge relief. Arizona must have taken it a different way because she started up again.
"I told her I was going on a dateā¦and I may have called you my uh, girlfriend, but she didn't seem to get it." I smiled while Arizona tried to hide her blush. I laced my hand with hers and kissed her temple.
"She'll get it eventually." I assured her. "Do you know where in Miami or when?"
"Well she said they would be here tomorrow afternoon and she said that they're moving two or three miles from the marine base." She looked a little uneasy so I squeezed her hand.
"Everything will be okay. You were fourteen, there's no way she could really think that you fell in love with her and then kept loving her for another two years. There's nothing to worry about." I didn't want her to get so stressed out about this. She smiled at me and replied with a small thank you.
We continued on walking in a comfortable silence. After maybe five minutes of walking I spoke.
"Girlfriend, huh?" Arizona started laughing hysterically and I soon joined her in laughter. We didn't walk much further after that and we just continued the rest of the ten or so minutes back to our houses.
When we reached the middle of our two houses I looked at my phone. "It's only nine o'clock. Your dad told me I didn't have to have you home until midnight. Would you like to accompany me to the swings?" I didn't want tonight to end. I was having such a good time and I got to spend it with Arizona.
"Why, I would love to." She said with a wide smile.
We walked back into the woods with minimal difficulty. Even though it was dark, I knew my way through the woods upside down and blindfolded. When we got to the small playground, it was empty with one light shining over it, as always. We took our place upon the swings, never letting go of each other's hand. We were on the swings until they got boring.
"I want to go on the slide for a little." I said this with such an innocent child like excitement that I hadn't experienced in a very long time. Once I reached the top of the long metal slide I threw my arms up and laughed all the way to the bottom. For a while I just sat at the bottom of the slide but then I got off and lie in the grass. I closed my eyes, loving the feeling of the cool night grass on my arms. Soon after this I felt Arizona lying next to me. I took a deep breath and rolled over.
I startled Arizona's waist and leaned in. When our lips were just centimeters apart I waited to make sure she was okay with this. Arizona didn't do anything to stop me but instead shifted the extra space and kissed me. At first, it was soft and slow, just trying to get a feel for each other. Before I knew it, the kiss got heated. When I couldn't breathe any more I had to end the kiss.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" I still sat on top of her and I was still close to her.
I saw her smirk and then I felt her flip me. She was quick and efficient at that, that's for sure.
"What kind of question is that? Of course I want to be your girlfriend." Came the sweet reply.
