Chapter 25:
Terri paced the floor at the end of her bed. Dressed in only a pair of boxers and a wife beater, the tall and lean brunette argued with herself over her current set of choices. She'd been going stir-crazy, for lack of a better term, since Arizona had stormed out of her hotel the previous day. Everything had been so surreal when the blonde had come to visit her. It had felt to Terri as if the two of them had never been apart.
She'd realized that her feelings for the peds surgeon had not lessened over time like she'd originally thought. Sharing the same space with Arizona had brought back a plethora of emotions for Terri. She'd wanted only to reconnect with her former love. They'd been together for seven years. They'd raised, and then lost, a child together. At the time, the green-eyed woman couldn't fathom how Arizona's current girlfriend could compare to their history.
Stopping her pacing, Terri opened her suitcase and grabbed a loose fitting and very well worn pair of jeans. She tossed a few tops and blouses onto the bed before finally deciding on a dark blue button up shirt. Opting to wear the button up shirt over her wife beater, Terri sat down on the end of the bed and sighed as she ran her hands through her hair.
She'd not come to Seattle to cause problems or to try to win Arizona back. All she'd wanted was a chance at closure. When she'd seen her ex at the hospital, feelings she'd thought long buried had resurfaced with a vengeance. Part of her had been sure that the blonde would welcome her advances, but when she'd felt the resistance from the smaller woman and heard the vehemency in her voice, Terri had known where Arizona stood.
Standing from the bed and walking to the large chest of drawers to the right of the bedroom door, the brunette picked up a small box and smiled sadly. She'd made her decision. For nearly a decade of her life, she'd sacrificed for one, Arizona Robbins. She'd kept her own wants and needs at bay to allow for the love of her life to have what she desired. Holding the small box whose contents were a reminder of a better time, Terri knew this act would be no different from all the others she'd made in her life.
Arizona, Zona, was no longer hers. She'd ceased to belong to Terri the day their daughter passed away. Though the tall woman still loved her, the blonde had let her know that she was in love with another. She was happy. She was alive through this other woman. This Calliope Torres. Terri had loved and Terri had lost. It was time for her to move on and let go. She walked out of her room and into the living quarters of the hotel.
It was time for one last conversation with her ex. It was time for one last act of love. Making sure the box was held securely to her chest, Terri left her hotel room and walked down an elegant flight of stairs to the foyer of the building.
It was time to say goodbye.
"You paged me?"
Blue eyes looked up from a chart and brightened at the voice.
"Yes, I did. What'cha doing?" a musical voice asked.
Callie fought to control a smile as her eyebrows lowered at the question. "What am I doing?"
Arizona smiled with an innocent delight and nodded her head. "Yeah, what are you doing, Dr. Torres?"
"Well, Dr. Robbins, since I'm at the hospital, I'm working. As you should be. Why?" Callie asked in playful tones.
It was half past ten and the two woman were standing at the Peds floor nursing station. After their earlier conversation, both of them had finally managed to fall soundly asleep. The trials and tribulations and worries of the past week had melted into their dreamscapes and faded away to become little more than a nightmare. They had survived the best and worst of each other and made it through whole. They were in love and nothing else in the world mattered more than that single fact.
"Are you working on anything that requires your immediate attention? Because me? I'm just looking over patient charts until an emergency comes in..." Arizona said the words in a droll tone and smiled wickedly at the Latina.
"Really? Hmm, I think I might be able to spare a few minutes for a...consult." Callie replied conspiratorially.
Arizona dropped the chart she'd been holding and quickly grabbed the ortho surgeon's wrist. Guiding her knowingly through the halls of the peds floor, she expertly led them to their favorite on-call room. Barely sparing a glance to the few nurses on duty, the blonde doctor hurriedly opened the door and shoved her girlfriend inside.
"I've been thinking about you all day." she whispered before bringing her lips to the full ones in front of her. Callie felt her breath being stolen away as the blonde forced her tongue to part her lips. She grabbed the smaller woman's hips and pushed her against the door.
"All day, huh?" she said heavily in a breathy whisper.
Pulling her mouth away from Arizona's, she lowered her head and let her nose graze along an inviting neck. The blonde's hands were already wrapped tightly in her hair and her breathing has erratic and hitched.
She heard a quick, "Yes" from the lips above her head and smiled into the skin beneath her.
"Let's see about that." she said suddenly. Dragging her tongue up her lover's throat, she traced a wet path to her jaw and finally to her ear. Arizona's hand in her hair had moved lower to the base of her skull and were currently gripping her neck.
Callie used her left hand to maintain her hold on the blonde's slim hips while her right hand moved to the front of her scrub pants. She felt a hot escape of breath across her ear as she started to untie the loop her fingers had reached.
"Don't move" she whispered into Arizona's ear. The blonde's fingers grasped her head tightly and the pace of her breathing increased.
The dark skinned woman finished the task of untying her girlfriend's pants and wasted no time in forcing her hand inside them. Upon immediately feeling the heat coming from the other woman, Callie moaned and let her tongue slide across a delicate ear.
"Calliope..." Arizona sighed. Her hips were trying desperately to reach the fingers so close to her. She felt Callie moving her lips over her ear and she moaned at the sensation.
"Don't move, Arizona." Callie said against her. Her right hand in the blonde's pants moved lower as she let her fingers cup the other woman's center. She could feel Arizona's wetness through her panties and it was making her dizzy.
"Tell me you want me" she said in a heated breath.
The blonde grasped her head tighter and pulled back so that she could look into her eyes. Normally light blue eyes had turned to a deep azure. Callie flicked her thumb across Arizona's clit and watched the eyes before her darken through hooded lids.
"I want you." she breathed against the raven haired woman's face.
Callie closed the distance between them and passionately kissed the woman she had pinned roughly against the door. She didn't allow her lover the chance to take control of the dueling their tongues were in. Full soft lips sucked Arizona's tongue hotly causing the woman to moan loudly.
The taller woman bent her knees slightly and allowed the change in her position the opportunity to lift her girlfriend off the floor. She felt strong legs wrap around her waist. Moving away from the door, Callie led them across the room where she slammed Arizona against the far wall. The blonde grunted but continued to kiss her as her hips started to roll in a familiar rhythm.
Pushing her fingers past the blonde's panties, Callie finally let herself fully touch her girlfriend. The wetness that greeted her instantly let her know that the other woman had indeed been thinking about her.
"Callie..."
Callie looked up at the face slightly above her own. Arizona looked incredibly sexy lost in her passion. Her blonde hair was coming out of the high ponytail she'd put it in and her eyes were tightly shut as she breathed heavily through her open mouth.
"Tell me." the Latina said. Her fingers were running through her lovers wetness and over her swollen clit. Arizona still had her legs wrapped around her sides and her hips were bucking against her and the wall behind her. Bringing her fingers to the blonde's opening, she stopped all movement. An impatient groan floated to her ears.
"Tell me, Arizona."
The peds surgeon opened her eyes and let her hands hold her girlfriend's face. She used her legs, wrapped around the other woman, to pull her closer.
"I want you. I want you. I wa-"
Her words died in her throat when she felt two slender fingers easily slide inside her. The unexpected, but deeply satisfying penetration caused a strangled gasp to leave her mouth. Her hips needed no further invitation. They started a fast pace against Callie's hand as they fought to draw her fingers in deeper.
Arizona's hands were no longer on Callie's face. Her arms were hugging the other woman's neck in a frantic grip. The only thing keeping her from falling was her girlfriend's hand around her waist and the wall behind her. She felt a thumb rubbing circles over her clit before a third finger pushed through her wetness and was engulfed by slick hot muscles.
Callie was finding it increasingly difficult to hold them both upright. The legs around her body were digging painfully into her ribs and the blonde's shoes were occasionally kicking across her back. Arizona was lost to the feelings she was evoking. She was letting herself go, completely and Callie thought she was breath taking. Increasing the pace of her fingers, which were now buried deep within her girlfriend, the ortho surgeon found the blonde's pulse point and attached her lips to it.
Deep and heavy breaths washed intimately against a tanned ear as Arizona moaned and panted.
"I...want...you. Calliope...I-"
Her walls tightened without warning and her muscles convulsed almost painfully as her orgasm ravished her body. Turning her head to the left, she buried her face in her girlfriend's hair and moaned deeply in an attempt to silence the sound. Callie could feel the blonde's tongue lazily running along her ear and face as her orgasm continued to assault her relentlessly. Her fingers inside the other woman were being pulled deeper than they'd ever been. She could feel Arizona's juices spilling past her fingers while her hips continued to gently roll against them.
When she felt the legs around her waist loosen their grip, she quickly dropped to her knees and pulled her girlfriend's pants and underwear down. Before Arizona had time to process what was happening, Callie's lips were on her clit and her tongue was running hotly through her wetness. When she felt her legs going weak, a strong pair of hands grabbed her hips and held her steady.
She laced her hands in dark ebony tresses and pushed her hips against her lover's face. Callie pulled back to lightly kiss the blonde's pleasure center before pulling it into her mouth and sucking greedily. Arizona's second orgasm caused her to scream and slide to the floor. The Latina kept her lips in contact with her clit as long as she could. When the last of the shocks finally left her system, Arizona felt Callie's lips on her own. Barely able to respond, the blonde hummed and held the other woman close to her.
"You should call me for a consult more often, Ari."
