HOPEFUL DREAMS & HIDDEN DESIRES
Hi guys :)
I'M BAAAAAAAAACK! Have you all missed me? I know I missed you! Hope you're all well :)
Vacation was AMAZING and Malaysia is really beautiful. If you ever get the opportunity to travel there, I can highly recommend doing so! They have the most beautiful nature there, Kuala Lumpur is very interesting due to the multicultural feel of it and the food is just outstanding. From my point of view there is absolutely no reason not to go visit that country. Oh, and the shopping is really, really cheap compared to Danish (and probably most western countries') standards.
However my holiday ended with me breaking up with my girlfriend in Doha Airport. We were meeting up there because she happened to come back from a business trip the same time I came from vacation and it turned out, that she'd spent my time away finding out that she is pregnant and expecting a child with one of her British colleagues. Not the most ideal end to my vacation to discover that my (ex)girlfriend is in fact a cheating bitch (and the irony of the similarity to the Callie/Arizona/Mark storyline on Grey's is not lost on me)!
Anyway, moving on to more important things ;) THANK YOU for all of your lovely reviews for chapter 27. I continue to be very happy that you all like HD&HD so much. And welcome to all the new readers.
To the guest who now had no reason not to study: I hope you studied hard these past weeks then! ;) And you should always study hard! :P
To jolynn15: Thank you – and I might have some ideas for other fics once this one is over some day. It's good to know that there'll be an audience for that :D
To srock: Thank you. Both for you review and for the wonderful advice and talking about Malaysia during my time there!
To the guest who's rhythm is thrown off by the comma splices: I'm sorry about that – but like I stated more than once; English isn't my first language. And Danish grammar is very different from English grammar on the commas. And my fingers just kind of puts them where there would be a Danish comma ;) I'll try to pay more attention to it though!
To LoveComesFromUs: Wow. THANK YOU. And don't worry about the language. English isn't my first language either. I'm really grateful that you took the time to write such a long and lovely review for my story. And I'm happy you like it and think it's realistic – and addictive! ;) Even though I think you should prioritize sleeping! :D Please continue reviewing and letting your thoughts about my story be known.
To calzonamad: Jubiii – jeg er vild med det, når jeg kan se, der er danskere, der læser historien! ;) Jeg håber, du bliver ved med at læse med :)
To RunningOnSunshine94: Welcome to the story! :P
Disclaimer: I do not own Grey's or any of the characters - they all belong to the lovely Shonda Rhimes and ABC. I'm just toying with them for fun with no intentions of profiting.
The wait is over – enjoy chapter 28! ;)
CHAPTER 28:
Callie made her way into her father's Las Vegas hotel. She was absolutely exhausted. It had been 12 days since she left the Robbins family in Little Creek and she'd been filming from dawn till dusk every day since. But as she approached the reception, she felt her exhaustion slowly diminish. Because waiting for her at her suite was her beautiful and amazing girlfriend.
"Hello Ms. Torres" the receptionist said with a smile at the brunette. "Here's your key. Your agent has already picked up the second key and deemed the suite appropriate. And we'd done as you asked to grant you some privacy and give you the best possible surroundings to relax and get some of your energy back."
Callie returned the smile and took the keycard from the young woman's hand. "Thank you" the brunette answered sincerely. Callie had reached out to her agent when she had to find a way to sneak Arizona into the hotel. The brunette had convinced Arizona that they could trust Natalie and that the agent had no reason whatsoever to tattle on them to the press.
Natalie had taken the news of Arizona and Callie being a couple really well. She'd been ecstatic for Callie actually. And she'd started to come up with a plan right away for the communication strategy once the couple was ready to announce their relationship to the world. The brunette had told her agent that they were still far away from that, but Natalie had reasoned that it was never too soon to start preparing for something like that.
Callie made her way to the elevator with a smile to the people gauging at her on her way there. She got in the lift and slid her key card against the receiver before she pressed the button for the 60th floor. She sighed as the doors closed and leaned against the wall with her eyes closed. She'd really been looking forward to the next two days. Not only did she get to spend them with her favorite blonde, but she didn't have to go to work. Her body was sore and she couldn't wait to just kick back and relax in the bathtub. Preferably with Arizona there too.
The brunette opened her eyes as the elevator pinged and got out of the lift. She slowly walked down the hall and approached what had always been 'her suite' whenever she visited this specific hotel.
Callie slipped the keycard into the lock as she reached the suite and opened the door when the light turned green. Before she was through the threshold an ivory hand connected with her wrist and yanked her inside, slamming her up against the door effectively closing it.
Then the softest lips the brunette had ever kissed connected with hers. The pink lips were pressed hard against her own and Callie couldn't help but moan as her girlfriend's tongue tenderly traced her bottom lip. The brunette opened her mouth and granted it access. Arizona's tongue instantly sought her own and started the passionate dance that they'd both become so addictive to.
When the kiss came to a natural stop Callie opened her eyes and looked at Arizona who was staring at her with dark blue eyes. "I could really get used to being greeted like that" the brunette said with a smile and slightly out of breath.
Arizona smiled at her and captured plump lips again in a lingering kiss. Then she nuzzled her nose against the brunette's. "I won't be opposed to always greet you like that. But today you really deserved it" the blonde breathed out. "You're so amazing Calliope. Words can't describe it. Thank you again for doing that for Tim." Arizona kissed her girlfriend once more and pulled back to look at her with teary eyes. "Thank you Callie. Just…Thank you" the blonde finished.
Callie reached up and caressed and ivory cheek. "Your brother is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He deserved it Arizona. I'm just really thankful I could help him." The brunette smiled at her girlfriend.
"What did your parents think of it?" Callie hesitantly asked as she withdrew her hand from Arizona's face. The brunette had been a little nervous that she might have gone too far. That her girlfriend's parents would think that she'd overstepped somehow. After all she had only met them that one time.
Arizona smiled at her clearly nervous girlfriend. "They are really grateful to you Callie. I know they hate the fact that they were only able to give one of us the opportunity of a college education. I've offered numerous times these last nine months to take over the loan they took to make it possible for me to attend U of M, but they won't allow it."
The blonde sighed "and that just makes NO sense. I just really hoped that they'd let me pay and then maybe they could find a way to help Tim out. Give him the chance of going to college as well" Arizona smiled at her girlfriend. "But then awesome you came along and secured him a full scholarship. And I will never be able to thank you enough."
Callie leaned in and kissed pink lips. "You don't need to thank me at all. The only thing I did was call my dad. It's not a big deal" the brunette said and shrugged her shoulders.
"But it's a big deal to me. And it's a really big deal to Tim. You made him very happy, Callie" Arizona softly said and snaked her arms around the brunette's waist pulling her even closer. Their faces were only inches apart.
"I love you. So much" the blonde softly whispered.
"I love you too" Callie whispered back with a small smile. "And I've missed your cute face."
Arizona giggled and the brunette could feel the air leaving her girlfriends mouth brush over her own. "Oh please. You've been so busy being brilliant, that you've barely had time to miss me let alone think about me."
"I always, always think about you" the brunette gently said. "The dressed-up you, the casual you, the laughing you, the sleeping you, the perky you and my personal favorite; the naked you" Callie finished with a sultry voice.
Arizona's eyes darkened in an instant and before Callie knew what was happening pink lips were pressed hard against her own again and a soft tongue forced its way into her mouth to battle her own for dominance. Callie gasped a little and moaned loudly when she felt one of Arizona's hand slowly trace the lining off her jeans before dipping inside and grapping her ass.
"I've missed you Calliope" the blonde breathed out as she tore her lips from her girlfriends for a second and enjoyed the feeling of having her hands on Callie's thong clad bum.
The brunette wouldn't have it though and she leaned back in to resume the kiss. Her own hand found its way into blonde locks and Callie couldn't help but grab a chunk of it and tug slightly. This prompted a sexy groan filled with desire to leave pink lips and the brunette felt wetness pool in her underwear at the sound.
"I don't want to have sex up against this door. I want to make use of the king size bed that's right there" Callie mumbled against her girlfriend's lips as she pointed blindly behind them with her free hand.
Arizona pulled back slightly and grinned as she continued to caress a perfect ass. "Then take me to bed woman" the blonde said smugly.
Callie raised her eyebrows at the blonde's words and she pushed herself off the door and in one swift motion she picked Arizona up and threw the other woman over her shoulder.
Arizona shrieked in surprise "Callie! Put me down."
The brunette laughed. "Nuuuh! It was you who told me to take you to bed and that's what I'm doing" Callie said as she shook her head while carrying the blonde towards the bed.
The blonde smiled and enjoyed the view of her the other woman's amazing ass working as she walked. Arizona reached out to touch it once again, but before she reached it, she was thrown down on the bed. She bounced a little on the soft madras and looked up at Callie who looked at her with nothing but adoration and desire shining in her eyes.
"You are truly, truly beautiful Arizona" Callie said with so much genuineness in her voice that it took Arizona's breath away.
"You are beautiful too, Calliope" the blonde said as she reached up and traced a finger along a caramel cheek. Then she took a fistful of Callie's shirt in her hand and pulled the brunette close to her, their lips almost touching. "And now I want you to fuck me. Because I am horny as hell, and you are looking at me with those sexy eyes that just make me want to rip your clothes off and chain you to the bed" Arizona let out.
Callie's eyes darkened to an almost black color. "Fuck, I love it when you say things like that" she breathed out "But how about we save the chaining to the bed to another time and I just blow your mind with my amazing tongue tonight?" the brunette asked as she leaned down and softly licked the blonde's earlobe.
A shiver ran down Arizona's spine at the action. "That…That would be okay too" she choked out as she turned her head slightly to give Callie more space.
The brunette started kissing and licking at her girlfriend's glorious neck and Arizona's moans grew increasingly louder much to Callie's pleasure. The brunette sneaked one of her hands underneath Arizona's t-shirt and found a breast covered in what appeared to be Callie's favorite bra on the blonde. It was pastel green and had a very distinct lace pattern. She tenderly traced a finger around her girlfriend's nipple before pinching it between her forefinger and thumb.
"Oh my God. Calliope, you need to stop making me get louder and louder. What if someone hears us?" the blonde moaned out.
"Don't worry about it. I've booked the entire floor" Callie breathed out as she continued to nipple at an ivory neck while she proceeded to caress a bra covered breast.
"What?" Arizona pushed Callie back in surprise.
Brown eyes locked with blue ones. "I've booked the entire floor" the brunette repeated.
The blonde furrowed her brows. "Why? This is the top floor of the building Callie! That's got to be expensive as hell!" Arizona said with an unexplainably edge to her tone.
Callie pulled her hand out from under her girlfriend's shirt and moved to sit up straddling the blonde's thighs. "First of all; I don't pay anything for this. My father owns the hotel, remember. Of course he'll ask me why I needed a whole floor when I go to Miami in three weeks, and then I'll tell him. But he will be okay with it. It's only for three nights. And secondly; I did it because I want the two of us to be able to just…be! I don't want us to have to restrain ourselves at all. If I want to tell you I love you, then I want to be able to do so without having to think about how close I am standing to the door" Callie leaned down towards Arizona again and lightly brushed her lips against pink ones as she hoarsely whispered. "And if I want to make you scream my name, then I want to be able to do that without having to worry about the people in the room next door hearing it. I want to make love to you the way I'm really longing to Arizona."
Then the brunette pulled back again and sat back up. "Plus, I wanted to be able to show you Vegas without having to leave the hotel. And this building happens to have the perfect location. We can go to some of the other balconies and you can see some of the sights Vegas is known for."
Arizona looked intensely at Callie with a look the brunette couldn't really place. "You're actually serious! It's not a joke? We're alone on this entire floor? Of your dad's hotel. How many rooms are there?"
"No actually, we're not alone on this entire floor. Natalie has a room on the other side of the building. She had to stay up here as well otherwise it would have seemed weird" the brunette explained with a shrug and a small smile.
"You didn't answer my question about the number of rooms" the blonde stated firmly.
Callie looked down at her girlfriend with her brows furrowed in confusion at the tone. "Why is that so important Arizona? Can't we just enjoy these two days together?"
Arizona pushed the brunette off and scrambled from the bed. "It's important to me okay? I never asked you to or meant for you to shut down an entire floor of your father's hotel just so you and I can get it on!" Arizona spit as she stood with her hands on her side at the foot of the bed.
The brunette was really surprised, and a bit hurt, about the way her girlfriend took this whole thing. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked straight at her now clearly fuming girlfriend. "You're mad at me for this?" the brunette asked disbelieving. "And it wasn't so we could 'get it on' Arizona. It was all for the purpose of securing our privacy…" she trailed off with bewilderment and slight irritation to her voice.
"You can't buy my love, Callie! And you need to stop trying to do so. Spending an insane amount of money on me all the time won't ensure that I don't leave you just like Mark did. I can't be bought, and this doesn't work that way" Arizona hissed as she gestured between the two of them. "Every time you and I see each other you have to throw money at it and make some sort of grand gesture. What is up with that? You take a private plane to come see me in Georgia after we fought, you send Tim to college after spending only a few days with him and now you've shut down an entire floor of daddy's hotel, so we can see the sights and you can fuck me however you want! It makes me feel like I'm Julia Roberts in pretty woman" the blonde spat with clear disdain in her voice.
Callie felt tears rise in her eyes at her girlfriend's words. "Do you even know what you just said? Like do you REALLY know what you just said to me? And what you accused me of? Seriously Arizona! What the hell! I love you and you should know I'm not trying to buy anything. I've never ever thought of you as a prostitute I need to pay to keep me entertained or to make you stay. What kind of person do you think I am? You're my GIRLFRIEND. The only thing I ever want is to be with you. I'm sorry that me loving you, apparently, make you feel like a hooker" the brunette said with clear anger and pain in her tone as she still kept her eyes locked on the blonde's.
The brunette closed her eyes briefly as a tear made its way down her cheek. "I think I'll go see Natalie. There is a conflict with my calendar and she asked that I'd come see her if I got a minute. Then you can take the time to think about what just left your mouth and consider this relationship and whether or not you want to stay in this hotel with me."
The brunette moved of the bed, past the blonde and towards the door. "You can look the number of rooms on the floor up on the hotel website if it's so fucking important to you" Callie said before leaving the suite slamming the door a little behind her.
Arizona looked at the door her girlfriend just left through. Her chest was heaving from all the anger that was accumulated inside her. She looked at the door as her heartbeat slowly fell and when it got back to normal a wave of regret rushed over her.
Callie had left the room crying and angry. Because of her. Once again Arizona had succeeded in making the brunette mad at her. And sad.
Arizona sighed. Callie was a wonderful girlfriend and Arizona knew that the brunette did the things she did out of love. But it still just threw the blonde off a little as she thought about just how often Callie did something extraordinary in this relationship. And it always involved A LOT of money. Arizona realized that she would never be able to do the same for her girlfriend.
It was like it had just occurred to the blonde how much money Callie wielded. Not from her own earnings, she'd always known about that money. But from her father's fortune. The brunette had shut down an entire floor of one of his hotels and he'd just let her. Surely he had to already know that the top floor of his Las Vegas hotel was currently occupied by his eldest daughter. And it didn't seem like he'd contacted Callie at all to question her about it. The thought of meeting Carlos Torres to whom she would be the woman who needed his daughter to arrive in a private plane, to make a scholarship grant appear for her brother and shut down a whole floor of his hotel for three nights made the blonde really nauseous. Because what kind of impression would that leave.
The blonde inhaled and shut her eyes tightly as it was suddenly very clear to her what had set her off in the first place. And it had nothing to do with Callie. Arizona sighed as she thought of Callie's words. Of course she wanted to stay. She was madly in love with the brunette and she didn't need to consider the relationship at all. She wanted to be with Callie and ONLY Callie. They had two whole days together before parting for more than a month and Arizona had managed to screw everything up within the first 30 minutes. All because her nervousness about what her girlfriend's dad would think of her had shown its ugly head and made her take it all out on Callie.
The blonde hung her head as tears slowly started making their way down her cheeks. Why did she keep messing this up? And hurting Callie. She didn't deserve that.
Arizona knocked on the door to Natalie's suite. Or what she assumed was Natalie's suite. It was the only other room on the floor that was locked. It had been an hour since Callie left the blonde alone in the hotel room and Arizona had spent the time standing at the same spot just thinking about everything.
The agent opened the door smiling. "Hi Arizona. Come on in" the other woman stated as she gestured for the blonde to make her way inside the suite.
Arizona stepped inside and her eyes instantly settled on Callie who was sitting on a couch looking at her phone and a day planner that lay on the coffee table side by side with a lot of papers.
"I'm just going to go to the bathroom real quick" Natalie stated as her eyes shifted between the two women. "Sit down Arizona. Make yourself comfortable."
Arizona smiled at the agent and made her way to sit on the armchair across from the brunette. It was obvious that Callie was sad. The blonde could tell by the other woman's posture. With her shoulders slumped and back crumbled as she leaned forward towards the table. Her brown eyes were scanning a page and then she flipped to another date and sighed a little.
"Callie?" the blonde spoke softly making the brunette look up.
Brown eyes met blue. "Yes?"
Arizona smiled a little at her girlfriend. "Of course I want to stay. In fact I would love to never leave you or this hotel ever again" she tenderly said.
Callie looked down at the calendar again. "Okay."
The blonde furrowed her brows. "Okay?" Arizona asked.
The brunette closed the day planner and once again looked up and into blue eyes. "What do you want me to say Arizona? You compared yourself and our relationship to that of a prostitute and her sugar daddy. Although it has to be one of the greatest, most romantic love stories of all time it is not my dream to ever recreate it. And you threw the ending of my marriage with Mark in my face. Do you know how all that made me feel? The mere thought of you not being happy in this relationship or leaving me Arizona…" Callie trailed off with a shaky voice as she shook her head slightly.
"I wanted to take my father's private plane to go see you at your parents' place because I didn't want to waste time waiting at the airport if I could help it when our time together would be as limited as it was. And I wanted to talk my dad into providing Tim with a scholarship because your brother is kind and smart and I know it'll be a great service to the community if he gets to explore his interest in biomedical engineering" Callie said softly but with a bit of a firm edge to her voice.
"And I really wanted to shut down this floor to make sure you and I can spend these next two days just being girlfriends. No one to stare at either of us because we are who we are. Just you and me. To women who want to be together. The last time I saw you we were at your parents' house, and while I liked getting to know your family I didn't get to spend that much time just being with you. And I've missed you Arizona. We don't have to have sex at all the next two days if you don't feel like it. I just want to be in the same room as you. Let the sound of your breathing calm me. And let the sight of you make me feel like I'm right where I'm supposed to be" the brunette finished tenderly and with tears brimming her eyes.
Blue eyes filled with tears as she looked at her still angry and obviously sad girlfriend. The brunette sighed and stood. She walked around the coffee table and squatted in front of her girlfriend. "What's going on, hot stuff?" the brunette gently asked as she laid a hand on her girlfriend's thigh.
Arizona smiled a little at Callie's use of her new nickname as she looked at the hand that rested on her thigh. Then her smile turned into a frown. "I'm so sorry Callie. I seem to have a talent for ruining this even though it's never my intention. I don't want you to be mad at me. Or sad."
Callie snorted a little at that. "Well what did you think was going to happen when you said I make you feel like a hooker from a chick flick?" the brunette asked. Then she sighed. "Why did you go crazy like that? Because as far as I remember, we ended up in that bed because you LIKED the fact that I got your brother a scholarship. And before I even knew what was happening it seemed to be one of the biggest offends ever made instead. Forgive me for being just a little confused."
Arizona closed her eyes and breathed deeply before opening them again and looking at her girlfriend. "What if your father thinks I'm a gold-digger?"
The brunette raised her eyebrows in surprise. She'd not expected the blonde to get that upset just because she was scared about what Callie's dad might think of her. "That's ridiculous Arizona."
Blue eyes hardened as they continued to look at brown orbs. "Don't diminish my fears and worries Callie! And how is that ridiculous. When he finds out how much money your romance with me costs him it'll make it seem like I'm never willing to make an effort. You make grand gestures left and right and I do nothing!" Arizona harshly stated as a few tears travelled down her cheeks. She averted her gaze to her lap.
Callie shook her head. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that it's ridiculous because I know for a fact he won't ever think you're a gold-digger."
The brunette then reached up and cupped her girlfriend's cheek. "You're sweet and outgoing and positive and caring. You're everything he could ever wish for me. And if spending a little of his money can make our lives a little easier then I can guarantee you he won't mind. I wouldn't have gotten permission to take his plane, if he'd had to use it himself. But it was just sitting there. Waiting for the next time he had to fly anywhere. And Tim is not the first person to receive a scholarship from the Torres Foundation. In fact two of Aria's ex-boyfriends, one of Jael's friends not to mention a bunch of people we don't even know are currently studying at their dream colleges because of it. But my father doesn't just hand them out. We have to vouch for them every single time we suggest someone, and I'm sure he checked up on Tim in every way possible before agreeing to it. And this hotel is open for business 365 days a year. The shutting down of one floor for three nights almost won't be noticeable at the end of the year" Callie tenderly explained.
She made blue eyes look at her before continuing. "And that's not true. You do so many things for me Arizona. The most important one being loving me. That's the best thing that's happened to me and it makes me so happy whenever you look at me and your eyes sparkle in that way only I get to see."
The brunette leaned in and rubbed her nose against an ivory one. "Barring that it goes well with telling my parents that I've found the woman of my dreams, then he's going to love you Arizona. He might look all business and I don't doubt for a second that his employees have an insane amount of respect for him, maybe even fear him a little, but on the inside he's just a big softy. Your dad is way more intimidating than mine. You've got nothing to worry about. I'll put my money on Rei being the hardest nut to crack" Callie let out with a small chuckle.
Arizona smiled and shifted so her lips softly connected with Callie's in a short, soft kiss. "I'm really sorry" she let out as they parted.
The brunette smiled. "Arizona Robbins questions her undeniable charm and gets meet-the-parents nerves. Who would have thought?" Callie joked before turning serious. "But if you could maybe just tell me what was bothering you next time that would be great! Because the tantrum you just threw wasn't very attractive."
Before the blonde had the chance to reply, Natalie reappeared from the bathroom. She hesitantly approached the couple. Callie had turned up at her hotel room with teary eyes and the agent didn't need to ask to know that the two women had to have been fighting for Callie to come see her about her calendar that fast.
A pair of blue eyes and a pair of brown eyes looked up at her. "Soooo, is everything okay here?" she asked.
Callie smiled and rose from her squat position in front of the blonde. She moved back towards her previous seat on the couch. "Yes. And I've been thinking about the calendar thing. If we maybe move the promotion interview with 'Hollywood News' from Friday to another day, then we can reschedule my appearance at that drama summer-school to Friday and then I'll have all of Saturday free for Addison's bachelorette party. Because I need to be there for that Nat. She's my best friend and she's getting married. It's a big deal" the brunette said as she looked at her agent.
"Of course you have to be there for that Callie. I'll fix it. Is there anything I can cancel if I have to?" the agent asked.
The brunette sighed and opened the day planner to scan her weekend. "If it's absolutely necessary we can cancel Rei's visit here on Sunday. That frees a whole day. But you need to let me know if that's going to have to happen because then I need to call her myself" Callie said as she traced her sister's name on the page.
Arizona looked at Natalie who sent a compassionate smile towards her client. "I'm going to do everything I can to avoid that."
Callie smiled knowingly at her agent. "Yeah, she'll kill me and freeze me out for at least a month if I cancel. It's going to take an unbelievable amount of Instagram photos to make up for that!" Then she closed the day planner again. "You'll try to sort it out? And let me know how it goes?"
Natalie nodded her head. "Absolutely."
The brunette rose from her seat. "Thank you. And please order whatever you want from room service. Or you can go to the restaurant or the spa or whatever. I've already let them know that they need to accommodate you in any way you wish to" Callie said to her smiling agent that mouthed a thank you.
Then the brunette turned towards her girlfriend. "Want to go sightseeing with me?" Callie questioned with a smile.
Arizona rose from the chair smiling. "I'd love to."
Callie reached a hand out for Arizona to take. As an ivory hand grabbed hers the brunette squeezed it and smiled at the blonde before turning her attention back to her agent. "Thank you Nat. I owe you big time."
Natalie chuckled. "You pay me, remember" she said as she winked at Callie.
The brunette laughed. "I remember you taking a big chunk of my paycheck every month, yes. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate your work and your willingness to always fit your schedule to my needs."
The agent smiled. "I know you think you're a difficult client Callie. But you couldn't be more wrong."
Callie offered Natalie one last smile before starting to walk towards the door tugging Arizona with her. "I'll see you Nat." With that the two women were out the door.
The brunette walked with determination towards one of the other suites. She opened the door for Arizona to walk in. As the blonde approached the big floor to ceiling window 'The Strip' spread out before her.
"Beautiful, isn't it" Callie asked as she snaked her arms around Arizona's waist linking them together in front of her stomach.
Arizona leaned back and reveled in the feeling of Callie holding her for a second. "It really is."
"Do you want to go out on the balcony?" the brunette asked.
The blonde shook her head. "No. Let's just stay here like this."
Callie smiled and kissed the side of Arizona's head. "Sure."
They stood in silence for a few minutes looking at the city spread beneath them. Arizona leaned her head back against Callie's shoulder. "Are we okay?" she softly asked.
The brunette exhaled and rested her head against the blonde's. "I'm not going to lie Arizona; your words really hurt. And I'm so sorry if you ever feel like I'm trying to buy you. Or feel like I think I'm better or more important than you just because my father happens to own a chain of hotels. Because that's not the case at all."
Callie inhaled the scent of Arizona and instantly felt herself relax. "You're exceptional Arizona and you make me so happy. I know that I say I love you all the time, but I really don't think you get it. I don't think you understand just how all-consuming my feelings for you are."
The blonde turned around and looked her girlfriend straight in the eyes. "I'm so sorry I hurt you Callie. And you don't make me feel like a prostitute. I'm sorry I said that. It was just like I realized all of a sudden how much money your family actually possesses. And it made me nervous because I'm not even close to having that kind of money."
Arizona reached up and let her hand slide through brown locks. "And I DO know Callie. Because I can assure you that I feel the same way about you."
The brunette pursed her lips in thought. "I'm going to say something and I need for you to try to not get mad at me, okay?"
The blonde nodded her head.
"I'm not going to be your personal punching bag forever Arizona. I'm not saying this to criticize you or change you, because I love you. All of you. I just ask that you maybe take notice of it. I know myself Arizona. And I'm going to be fed up with it someday. So I need you to stop. I need you to not go from 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds. I need you to take a second and think about what is bothering you before you go off at me. And if it IS me then fine; yell at me and insult me all you want. But if it's not, then please just talk to me about it. Calmly. I know I'm not flawless by any means, and feel free to point out all of my flaws if you want to. Because I want to work on them. I want to be the best possible girlfriend to you" Callie softly said.
Arizona gave the other woman a small smile. "I know Callie. And I'm going to try to not do that anymore. I promise. Because you don't deserve it. And you are an amazing girlfriend to me. The best. I'm so in love with you."
Then the blonde threw herself at the brunette and captured plump lips in a searing kiss. Callie felt the fire starting to build in her instantly and she eagerly kissed Arizona back. Teeth and tongues clashed as the kiss continued to grow in passion.
Callie pushed the blonde backwards until Arizona's back was pressed firmly against the window. She planted her hands on the window on either side of Arizona's waist.
The blonde reached up and grabbed Callie by the neck pulling her even closer. She loved the feeling of having the brunette this close.
When her lungs burned for lack of oxygen Arizona pulled back. She kept her eyes closed and her hand played with the small hairs at the back of her girlfriend's neck. "I'm done with sightseeing for now" she breathed out. "I want to go back to our room."
Callie smiled as she looked at her girlfriend who just stood there with her eyes closed and her lips slightly parted. The brunette couldn't help herself and leaned in to tenderly kiss those intoxicating pink lips and suck lightly at the blonde's bottom lip. "Let's go hot stuff."
The blonde opened her eyes to stare straight into dark brown ones. She put her other hand up and around Callie's neck as well. The brunette got the hint and smiled as she reached down and grabbed the back of Arizona's thighs hiking her up, so the blonde could wrap her legs around the brunette's waist.
Arizona leaned in and kissed her girlfriend. Then she rested her forehead on Callie's. "How come I always end up being the one to carry you around when you're the one getting up disgustingly early to work out?" the brunette deadpanned.
The blonde giggled a little and pulled back to look Callie in the eyes. "Because you're so very good at it. It always leads to really enjoyable things when you carry me anywhere" Arizona softly said as she looked adoringly at the brunette.
Callie kissed Arizona one more time before she started making her way out the door and down the hall towards their suite. She never once took her yes from Arizona's and as they reached the door to their suite, Callie gently pushed Arizona's back against it and kissed her lovingly. She pulled back and looked at her girlfriend. "Before we go in there I'm going to say one last thing, and then we'll just forget about what happened earlier, okay?"
Arizona smiled at Callie and nodded her head. "Of course Calliope."
The brunette smiled back at the blonde. "I now know that Mark left me because he was in fact starting to fall in love with someone else. But it's a sore subject to me Arizona. Him leaving me really hurt. And I'm begging you; if you EVER, for any reason, feel like you might not want to be with me anymore, then you tell me. Please don't just leave me out of nowhere because that will kill me."
The blonde sighed and leaned forward to rest her head against the other woman's. "I'm sorry. I know it's a sore subject. And I never should have said anything like that. Because I'm not going to leave you. I love you and I can't imagine ever feeling like I want to leave you. But I promise that I'll talk to you about it, if I ever do."
Callie pulled back and smiled. She bit her bottom lip the way she knew drove the blonde crazy with want and watched as Arizona's eyes turned the shade of blue that meant her body was reacting very well to the brunette's actions.
The brunette chuckled at the sight. "Like what you see?" she questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Arizona snorted. "You know I do. Because you did it on purpose. And now I'm really, really turned on. So what are you going to do about that?" the blonde sultry said.
Callie pulled the blonde away from the door and held the blonde up with one arm as she found her keycard in her back pocket. She opened the door and made her way to the bed with the blonde still attached to her. She let them both fall on the madras and caught herself on her arms before landing on Arizona with all her weight.
"You didn't close the door" the blonde stated as she looked up into brown eyes.
"I know" Callie answered while her eyes scanned her girlfriend's face. "Do you want me to go do it?"
Arizona drew the brunette closer to her by the legs she still had wrapped around Callie's waist. "Are you absolutely sure we're alone on this floor apart from Natalie and that no one will come up here?" the blonde asked.
The brunette nodded her head. "Yes. Nobody will come up here unless I call for them. And Natalie will use the elevators on the other side of the building if she's going anywhere so she won't come over here either."
"Then I don't want you to go anywhere" the blonde breathed out as she pulled Callie closer. "Fuck me, Calliope. Please."
Callie leaned forward at those words and captured her girlfriend's luscious lips with her own. She sucked Arizona's bottom lip into her mouth and softly bit down on it eliciting a throaty moan from the blonde. The brunette pulled back. "It'll be my pleasure."
Then she reached down with one hand and started hiking her girlfriend's t-shirt up her smooth torso. She let her hand slowly trail the ivory skin as she did so, and when she reached the blonde's breasts she bent down and sucked a pert nipple through the pastel green bra.
Arizona arched her back instantly. She'd almost forgotten how it felt when Callie paid attention to her body like that. "Calliope" she sighed and couldn't help but whimper. The brunette already made her feel really, really good.
Callie pulled back, sat up and continued to pull the t-shirt up her girlfriend's body with both hands. Arizona lifted her upper body to make it possible for the brunette to take the shirt off. When her back hit the madras again, she reached down and tucked at the hem of Callie's tank top pulling it off the brunette and leaving her girlfriend in her bra as well.
Arizona groaned at the sight. Callie wore a sexy deep red laced bra decorated with black lace. "Oh my God. It should be illegal to look this hot. New bra?" the blonde let out even though she already knew the answer.
"Yeah. Do you like it?" Callie shyly asked.
The blonde reached up to palm two perfect breasts. "Like it? I freaking love it, Calliope!" Arizona drew the brunette toward her with her legs and craned her neck to kiss plump lips as her hands started moving on her girlfriend's chest. She let her fingers glide over Callie's nipples and moaned as she felt them harden under her touch.
"I want you out of those jeans. I need to see if this comes with matching panties" Arizona said as she squeezed the bra clad boobs.
Callie moved off her girlfriend and the bed to take off her jeans. As she'd done so, she posed for her girlfriend that lay on the bed with her eyes wide and her mouth agape. "So. Do you like these too?" the brunette asked as she pointed to the panties.
Arizona blinked her eyes a few times. The deep red bra with the black lace came with matching panties. Panties that were see-through. They were red lace on one side and black on the other and Callie looked amazing.
"Turn around" the blonde rasped out. Callie smiled and did as she was told making a small twirl for her girlfriend.
"Shit, you look fantastic" Arizona choked out as the twirl revealed that the panties were a thong that highlighted Callie's perfect butt in the best possible way.
The brunette blushed a little at the raw desire in Arizona's voice. "Thank you."
"Now come here!" the blonde demanded as she gestured for Callie to rejoin her on the bed.
The brunette slowly crawled up the bed giving Arizona a good view of her cleavage. When she reached Arizona's pants she stopped and started undoing them. The blonde groaned. "No! Come here Calliope" she whined.
Callie chuckled. "Patience hot stuff. I'm just going to take these off."
The blonde let Callie undo the button and pull down the zipper. When she started pulling them down the blonde started kicking her legs to make it go faster. The brunette snorted. "In a hurry, are we?"
When the pants were off Arizona reached out for Callie. She grabbed a tanned arm and pulled her girlfriend to her. "No. But you are so fucking hot and if I don't get to kiss of touch you soon I'm going to explode" the blonde stated.
Callie chuckled again and leaned her head close to the blonde's. "Well we don't want that, do we?" Then she covered Arizona's lips with her own. The brunette moaned as she felt Arizona's eager tongue make its way in to her mouth to meet her own. It turned Callie on immensely that she could make the blonde crave touching or kissing her that much.
Ivory hands travelled down a caramel back and found the lining of those unreal thongs. She started pulling and the thongs slowly travelled down tanned thighs. Meanwhile caramel hands had found two ivory mounds that just begged to be touched. Callie pulled back the bra giving her free access to the rigid nipples. She palmed the breasts and let her palms press down on hard tits.
Arizona pulled back panting and in one swift motion she flipped them over so she was now on top of Callie. The blonde stared down at the goddess spread eagle beneath her. Her chest was heaving and her lips were slightly swollen from the kiss. "You are the sexiest and most gorgeous thing I have ever laid my eyes on Calliope."
The brunette smiled up at her lover. Then she started moving her hands again making the blonde moan and close her eyes in pleasure. Callie removed her hands from her girlfriend's breasts and let them travel down to her panties. She started tugging at them signaling that she wanted Arizona to take them off. The blonde shifted to make it possible to remove her panties and at the same time she removed Callie's thong completely. Then she crawled up the brunette's body and lay down on top of her holding herself up by her arms that were placed next to Callie's head.
Pink lips found plump ones and as their tongues dueled for dominance Arizona shifted her body, making their naked abdomens collide. A shiver ran down Callie's body and she arched her back from the sheer pleasure of the feeling. "Fuck Arizona. That feels amazing" the brunette murmured against pink lips.
Arizona moaned in agreement and moved her body again. Their clits brushed against each other and the feeling made the blonde tear her lips from the brunette's. "Shit. I love you Calliope."
"I love you too. Please don't stop" Callie whimpered.
The blonde kept moving and their clits kept brushing up against each other. The brunette writhed beneath the blonde while she moaned and cried out in ecstasy. Callie's hands were clutching the sheets tightly. A sweat was starting to form on Arizona's forehead and she felt the all too familiar tingling start in her lower stomach. "I've missed you so much" the blonde breathed out as she leaned down and rested her forehead against Callie's.
"I've missed you too. You have no idea. Oh my God, keep going Arizona" the brunette said and let go of the sheets to pay attention to her girlfriend's breasts once again.
Callie was panting and the feeling of her breath against Arizona's face all the while caramel hands were fondling her nipples only intensified the feeling of pleasure for the blonde. "Can you come like this?" she asked the brunette with a moan.
"I'm already almost there with you" the brunette breathed out and captured Arizona's lips in a lingering kiss.
The blonde increased the pace and before she knew it her orgasm hit her. Her whole body shook and an explosion of white lights went off behind her closed eyelids. She tore her lips from Callie's. "Fuuuuuck" she cried out as she kept moving her hips.
Underneath her Callie was experiencing equal pleasure. "Arizoooooona" the brunette whimpered as her orgasm hit her like a freight train. She arched her back and pinched pink nipples. She was aware of her girlfriend being in the middle of her own release and she growled as the blonde moaned loudly when she pinched her nipples.
As they both slowly came down from their high Arizona fell limply on top of Callie. The brunette moved to wrap her arms around a naked ivory waist, hugging her girlfriend to her.
Arizona started chuckling against her ear and Callie pushed the blonde slightly away from her to look at her with an amused look. "Why are you laughing?" the brunette asked.
The blonde smiled and reached up to push some brown bangs away from her girlfriend's face. "We are like a couple of horny teenagers. We didn't even take the time to remove each other's bras!"
Callie smiled and shifted so the two of them were lying next to each other on the bed. She turned her head and looked at the blonde. "Well at least I pulled yours down" the brunette said as she reached out and grazed a still stiff, pink nipple.
Arizona closed her eyes at the touch and opened them again to stare in to chocolate brown eyes. "I can't ever get enough of you. And I promise to at least pull your bra down next time" the blonde stated with a smug smile.
The brunette laughed and pulled Arizona to her, so the blonde's head was resting on her chest. As they lay in silence, Callie softly traced her fingers through blonde locks massaging her girlfriends scalp making a series of very content sighs leave pink lips which made Callie smile.
"When do you think we'll be ready to make a public appearance together?" the brunette asked hesitantly.
Arizona twisted and looked at Callie with furrowed brows. "I don't know. You still need to tell your parents and then we'll have to let everyone at 'Heart and Hospital' know. Why?"
Callie shrugged her shoulders. "No reason. I just want to be able to take you out and be able to kiss you whenever I feel like it. And I want to be able to go with you and your family to Hawaii on a vacation like the one you're taking in two weeks. I mean I know that I'm doing the movie and everything, but even if I wasn't, I still wouldn't be able to go with you guys because no one knows about you and me."
The blonde moved up and looked down at Callie. "I know that it's difficult Callie. But I just can't put a date to it. I'm sorry. I know I said that I want to go public and I really mean it. But I can't just go out there with your hand in mine the day after we let everyone at work know. I need to get used to each little step. Telling my parents went great and there's no reason that telling everyone else won't go great, but it still takes time to get used to" Arizona tenderly said.
The brunette looked at the blonde and then she turned her head and looked out the window. "I know. I just really hate that we have to be apart for so long all the time. This time was only 12 days and I've missed you so bad. And now we probably won't see each other again until Teddy and Addison's wedding. And that's a month and a half away Arizona."
Arizona watched as tears rose in those beautiful chocolate eyes. She reached down and made Callie look at her. "Hey. Please don't cry. And I know it sucks Calliope. I miss you too whenever we're apart. But we've got these two whole days together and I don't want to think about parting just yet" the blonde said softly. Then she leaned down and pecked plump lips. "I want to think about how I'm going to make sure you stay naked for the entirety of those two days. And how I'm going to explore just how many times I can make you whimper my name like you did not an hour ago. Because that was sexy as hell. And I want to think about how I'm going to enjoy falling asleep and waking up next to you for the next three nights and mornings before we have to check out from this place."
Callie smiled at the blonde and reached up to caress her cheek. "I'm sorry. You're right. We should enjoy these days together to the fullest."
Then the brunette flipped them over and kissed Arizona. "And I think it's your turn to whimper my name" Callie whispered in an ivory ear before biting down on the blonde's earlobe making Arizona sigh in content.
"I'm up for that too" the blonde breathed out with a smile grazing her face.
And that was chapter 28.
Please let me know what you thought of it and leave me lots of reviews!
