CHAPTER 29
Two days later was the day of their party.
Callie was at the hairdresser's when Tim walked through the door and handed her the phone.
"It's Arizona" he mouthed.
Callie waved her hands to signal that she didn't really want to talk to the blonde right now. She knew she was wanted at The Mazatlán, but she didn't feel like going home right at that moment. She was still getting used to the thought of having a lot of people over, in her very private home, and being at the apartment with an exited Arizona would not help her ease into the fact that tonight her home would be full of both people she knew and people she had never met.
Tim gave her a knowing look that made Callie take the phone.
She held a hand over the speaker and whined to the guy "She put up streamers. Streamers, Tim! All over the place"
He just laughed and shook his head at her.
She lifted up the phone and as soon as she put it to her ear and said "Yes", Arizona started babbling.
"Callie, where are you? People will start showing up soon and I…I…where are you, baby?"
"I'll be there soon" Callie simply said.
"When is soon?"
"Soon"
Arizona knew better than to push it. But she also knew how to make sure that the brunette would come home.
"Callie," she simply said "I can't wait for you to see my outfit. I bought it just for you" Then she hung up.
Callie smiled at the phone. Maybe it really was time to head home.
An hour later Callie walked into the apartment at The Mazatlán. A lot of people were already there, and the place looked amazing. Arizona had really done a good job, and Callie immediately felt bad for having left all the work with the blonde.
She scanned the room and locked eyes with Arizona. Arizona looked at her with relief. Callie nodded reassuringly as if to tell her 'Don't worry. I'm here now'.
And Callie looked amazing. She was wearing a very sexy women's tuxedo, and her dark hair fell in shiny cascading waves over her shoulders. Arizona couldn't stop staring at her.
But soon they were both pulled into different groups of people. And that's how most of the night went. They were constantly drinking and dancing with other people, but sending each other glances once in a while.
At around midnight Callie went missing. Arizona found the latina in one of the guest bedrooms. Callie was sitting on the bed, looking out the window.
"Hey" Arizona said, crawled onto the bed and sat behind the brunette.
Callie leaned back into the blonde's embrace.
They were silent for a while.
"I'm having a lot of fun" Callie then said.
"Why are you in here then?" Arizona whispered and kissed the back of the latina's head.
"I just needed...a little break" and took Arizona's hand to reassure the blonde that nothing was wrong and that Callie actually was enjoying herself. She looked the blonde up and down over her shoulder. Arizona was wearing a short, dark blue dress.
"You look really beautiful tonight"
Arizona smiled "Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself"
Callie turned around on the bed, leaned in and started kissing the blonde while letting a hand caress Arizona's breast.
The kiss got heated. Fast.
"I want to have you right here and now" Callie growled.
"But..." Arizona said with hesitation "We have a house full of guests"
Callie blinked and looked straight ahead for a while. She'd forgotten all about the party that was in full swing in the next room.
"Dammit" she said and smiled.
Arizona got up, adjusted her dress, kissed Callie's cheek and moved to leave the room.
Before the blonde opened the door, Callie husked out an "I like those stockings"
Arizona smirked and lifted up the hem of her short dress a little so that Callie could get a good view of her lace clad thighs.
"Oh, Callie, I'm not wearing stockings. It's a lace onesie. Crotchless. And I'm not wearing underwear"
Callie opened her mouth but no words came out. The thought of Arizona, covered in black lace and nothing else, made her want to close down the party and ravish the blonde.
Arizona threw her a sexy smile and then left the room.
When Callie finally got up and walked into the living room, the blonde was dancing with a colleague from the hospital.
They made eye contact and Arizona winked at the latina. When she was done dancing, she went over to Callie. The blonde leaned in until her lips were touching Callie's ear.
"Be a good girl for the rest of the night," Arizona seductively whispered "and I'll let you do naughty, naughty things to me later"
Callie swallowed thickly as Arizona turned around and went over to a group of friends, looking back over her shoulder seductively. Callie stared at her.
An old friend of Callie's from Miami came over and stood next to the brunette.
"Having a hard time taking your eyes off her?" he asked with a smile.
The latina looked at him, smiled, and nodded.
"Tan obvio?" she chuckled.
(*That obvious?*)
"Sí"
They both looked at Arizona for a few seconds.
"She's beautiful. And she seems great" he then said.
"She is" Callie breathed out "Really, really great"
"You know, in all the years I've known you" he said "I've never seen you this calm, collected and…happy. You seem so happy"
"I am. I am happy. Me hace feliz"
(*She makes me happy*)
"Well, I'm happy for you, Callita"
Callie smiled at him "Thanks"
