CHAPTER 36:
Callie woke up as she felt a smooth warm body lay down and connect with her backside. A kiss was placed on the side of her neck and the brunette let out a small sigh at the feeling of having her girlfriend that close. Another kiss was placed this time a more sensual one and Callie craned her neck a little as she felt the blonde suck gently on her skin.
"Are you waking me up to have your dirty way with me?" the brunette asked.
Arizona smiled into her girlfriend's neck and inhaled her scent. "I've been watching you sleep for an hour already and I couldn't help myself from touching you any longer. You're so beautiful Calliope."
"Thank you hot stuff. You're not so bad yourself" Callie said with a chuckle.
"You can go back to sleep if you want to. I just want to be close to you, so I want to lay here with you while you sleep then" the blonde tenderly said.
The brunette chuckled again. "I can't sleep. I can't even breathe properly."
Arizona bit slightly on a caramel neck eliciting a small cry of pain from the brunette. "Are you calling me fat?"
Callie shook her head softly. "Never. I'm just stating that you're a little on the heavy side when you lay on top of me like this and press me down into the mattress, thereby making my lungs collapse."
The blonde pinched the brunette's side making the other woman squirm and laugh. "That's the same thing."
"It's not" Callie argued "but you ARE squishing me a little honey."
"Hm" the blonde replied as she kissed a tanned neck again. "Then I guess you hate when I do this?" Arizona asked before pressing her pelvis down on Callie's ass and rocking it a little.
"I don't hate that" the brunette breathed out. "I don't hate that at all!"
"You're unbelievably hot Calliope. I love how your naked skin feels against mine" the blonde whispered into the brunette's ear.
The brunette felt a shiver run down her spine at the way her name left the blonde's mouth. Arizona's tone was sultry and sexy and Callie was very aware what that meant. "Didn't get enough of me last night did you?"
Arizona moaned a little and let one of her hands travel down the side of a tanned body until it rested on her girlfriend's hip. "You're amazing. And I'm so happy that you're mine Calliope."
Callie smiled. "I'm really happy that you're mine too."
Arizona shuffled a little to make room for her hand to caress two perfect caramel butt cheeks. "I'm not going to ever be anyone else's. You've ruined me for everyone else."
The brunette chuckled a little at that. "Oh yeah? And how did I do that?"
The blonde slowly let her hand travel over Callie's ass and towards her warm center. "By being hot and awesome."
Callie moaned a little and buried her head in the pillow for a second.
Arizona then slowly let a finger travel up the brunette's slit making a throaty whimper leave plump lips. "Shit, you're so wet" the blonde breathed out before moving her finger to a swollen clit.
Callie closed her eyes and swallowed at the touch. "Because you're fucking hot" the brunette croaked out.
The blonde moved so she now straddled one of her girlfriend's long caramel legs. "I love that I can turn you on like this." Arizona leaned down and kissed Callie's cheek. "I love you."
"I love you too" the brunette replied. Then an ivory finger found its way to her opening and circled it a few times before pushing inside. "Fuck Arizona" Callie moaned out.
The blonde started pumping her finger in and out of the brunette at a slow pace watching as a tanned face changed into different looks of pleasure. Arizona felt herself getting wet just from the sight.
Callie pushed her pelvis down against the mattress creating a little friction against her clit. The brunette moaned out a little and Arizona picked up her pace pumping in and out of girlfriend's center.
"Shit" Callie breathed out with a whimper "you turn me on like no one ever has before."
"I love that I can make you this wet" the blonde said as she slowed the pace a little again.
"Noooo" the brunette whined "keep going."
Arizona chuckled as she pulled out and moved away from her girlfriend. "Turn around my love."
Callie instantly did as she was told. When the blonde situated herself on her knees between caramel legs and looked down on her girlfriend, Callie locked her legs around the blonde's back making the other woman fall on top of her. "Finish what you started Arizona!" the brunette exclaimed.
The blonde chuckled again and let one of her fingers travel the outline of a caramel neck. Then she bent down and left a trail of wet kisses from the brunette's collarbone to her ear. "Oh don't worry, I very much plan to" Arizona whispered in her girlfriend's ear before sucking her earlobe in to her mouth.
Then the blonde again moved her mouth to her girlfriend's collarbone and softly bit into the flesh until a sound between pain and pleasure left plump lips. Then she moved her lips to a new spot next to the other one and did the same.
"Branding me, huh?" Callie let out with a moan and a small whimper of pain.
"Mmhmm" Arizona mumbled on to caramel skin. Then she pulled back and smirked at the brunette. "Because now I can. Now everyone knows that you're mine so I'm allowed to brand you in visible places."
"Actually" Callie said as she shook her head a little from side to side "you're not allowed. Because I still need to be at work tomorrow and make-up will kill you!"
"Pfff" the blonde let out while rolling her eyes "they love me in make-up! Of course they won't kill me."
The brunette laughed at her girlfriend's words. "Well if you're so sure about that then continue."
Arizona hesitated for a second before smiling smugly at her girlfriend. "Maybe I should just brand you on other places to be on the safe side."
The blonde then started kissing her way from her girlfriend's collarbone, down between her breasts until she reached her stomach. She put her mouth just above the brunette's navel and bit down hard. "Ouch, ARIZONA!" Callie let out and wiggled in her girlfriend's grip but Arizona just kept biting.
A few seconds later she removed her mouth from her girlfriend's stomach and smiled as a perfect set of teeth were imprinted on the other woman's skin. "There. Now I've branded you!"
The brunette rolled her eyes. "That really hurt! You're insane!" Callie said.
Arizona smiled at the other woman. "Want me to kiss it better?"
Callie pouted as she looked into blue eyes. "YES! That's only fair."
The blonde kissed the spot where she'd bit down and soothed it a little with her tongue. Then she kept kissing further down her girlfriend's body until she reached her abdomen. She paused for a second and let her finger slide up the brunette's slit. A deep moan left plump lips and Arizona felt herself getting insanely turned on by that sound yet again. "I love it when you make those sounds Calliope."
"I love when you make me do those sounds. Please" the brunette breathed out.
Arizona couldn't help but smile a little at the desperation in the other woman's voice. Then she let her finger circle a very swollen clit for a while before bending down and sucking it into her mouth. "Oh my God Arizona." Callie moaned.
The blonde moved one of her fingers to the brunette's opening and slowly let one finger inside. "Fuck you're still so wet" she moaned out against Callie's skin.
"Of course I am. You're here with me. Naked. That's more than enough" the brunette stated. "Please use a finger more."
The blonde did as she was told and slid another finger inside her girlfriend's center. She curled her fingers and let them slide down the inside of Callie's walls as she let her tongue flatten against her girlfriend's clit.
That made the brunette whimper out in pleasure. "Oooh Arizona. I love you."
"I love you too" the blonde replied before starting to flick her tongue rapidly over Callie's swollen clit while she let her curled fingers slide in and out of a very wet center.
"Fuck! Keep going. I'm coming" the brunette exclaimed.
Arizona picked up her pace and let her teeth graze the clit which sent Callie headfirst into her orgasm. The brunette arched her back as she moaned out the blonde's name. Arizona felt wetness drip from her own core at the sound and the feeling of her girlfriend pulsing around her fingers.
When Callie's high had ended Arizona removed her fingers from the other woman ever so softly and made her way up to the headboard of the bed. She rested her weight on her arms and looked down at her lover. Plump lips were slightly parted and the brunette was breathing heavily. Her eyes were closed and her eyelids flickered a little. "You're the most beautiful woman I have EVER seen Calliope."
The sentiment made the brunette open her eyes and deep brown orbs connected with dark blue ones. Arizona smiled down at her girlfriend and leaned in to kiss her passionately. Callie moaned a little when she tasted herself on her girlfriend's lips.
Before Arizona knew what happened Callie had flipped them over and the blonde was now pressed down against the mattress with the brunette hovering above her. "And you're the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen Arizona!"
Callie leaned down and captured pink lips with her own. She let her tongue slide across her girlfriend's lips that instantly parted to let the brunette in. Callie caressed her girlfriend's tongue with her own for a while before she sucked it into her own mouth.
Arizona moaned out from the pure lust rushing through her veins at that point. When she ran out of oxygen she pulled back and stared into brown eyes. "You are HOT" the blonde breathed out.
"I know" Callie replied as she winked at the blonde. Then she bent down and kissed the blonde's jawline. "And now I'm going to make you scream my name."
Arizona smiled and felt herself getting even wetter at those words. "Please do that. Because I'm longing to do that."
Callie chuckled a little. "You do know you did that not even 12 hours ago, right?"
The blonde rolled her eyes. "So what? I want to do it again now. Because seeing you come made me all kinds of turned on!"
The brunette winked again and once more bent down to kiss an ivory jawline before moving her mouth directly to a pink nipple and sucking it into her mouth. Arizona arched her back in pleasure at the feeling. Callie released the nipple with a pop and moved to the other one also sucking on that a while before releasing it again.
Then the brunette crawled directly down the blonde's body to situate herself between ivory legs. She instantly pushed two fingers inside her girlfriend's center and was floored by the amount of wetness she found there. "Fuck babe, you are wetter than ever. It's pouring out of you. I need to change the sheets afterwards" Callie said with slight awe.
"Seeing you come like that does that to me!" Arizona said while moaning.
The brunette smiled and started sliding her fingers in and out of her girlfriend. As Callie watched the blonde's eyes roll back in her head from pleasure she moved her leg so that she could use her thigh to get more force behind.
"Shit" Arizona breathed out when she felt the added strength her girlfriend pumped in and out of her with.
"Good?" the brunette asked.
"Soooo good" the blonde replied as she reached out to pull her girlfriend closer to her.
Callie smiled and crawled up the other woman so that their faces were close to each other while she kept using her thigh as leverage. "I love sex with you. I can never ever get enough of you" the brunette stated.
Arizona simply replied with a whimper before lifting her head to kiss Callie shortly before pulling back and throwing her head back on the pillow. "Fuck you're going to make me come Calliope."
"Come for me babe" the brunette replied and let her thumb start caressing the blonde's clit.
"Shit" Arizona exclaimed once again and wrapped her legs around the brunette making the other woman go even deeper.
That made the blonde come instantly and Callie watched as expressions of pleasure rushed over Arizona's face as she screamed out. "FUCK CALLIOOOPE!"
The brunette slowed her pace and let her girlfriend ride out her high before she removed her fingers and lay down next to the blonde pulling her close.
Callie could feel Arizona breathing heavily into her skin and the feeling made her smile. Pink lips found caramel skin in a soft kiss. "I can never ever get enough of you either" the blonde breathed out.
The brunette hugged her girlfriend even closer and kissed the top of her head. "I'm cold" the blonde stated after a few minutes. Callie rolled her eyes and chuckled as she moved to her dresser to find a pair of sleeping shorts and a t-shirt for the blonde and herself.
She tossed the clothing to her girlfriend as she put on her own set. Then she crawled back in bed, sat up against the headboard and closed her eyes. Arizona snuggled closer and sighed softly at the feeling of just being close to her girlfriend.
Ten minutes later they were interrupted in their little bubble by the brunette's phone ringing.
"Hello" Callie said as she answered the phone while smiling at her girlfriend.
"Callie, it's Natalie" the voice on the other end said.
"Hey Nat, what's up?" the brunette asked.
"Turn on E!. You probably figured out already that you guys would be all over the news so just watch it a little and call me back if you want me to make a statement or set up an interview or something" the agent said. "I'm going to keep my phone close to me so you can call me whenever you want."
With that the agent hung up and Callie put her phone back on the nightstand. Then she turned to look at Arizona who had a puzzled look on her face.
"What's going on?" the blonde asked the brunette.
"Natalie just asked me to turn on E! and then call her afterwards when I decided if I wanted to do anything" Callie said and reached for the remote.
"Wait!" Arizona let out as she took the brunette's hand. "I just want to say that no matter what is said when we turn on that TV I want us to make it Callie. I know that we'll be able to make it. Because we love each other and because of that we can do this together."
Callie smiled a little at the blonde. "I want us to make it too. But we still need to talk about all of this. Because there are so many things to talk about, to consider and decide. But first we really need to see what E! is up to now."
With that the brunette pecked pink lips before grabbing the remote and turning on the TV. Arizona snuggled up to Callie's side. The blonde felt a little nervous about what they were about to see.
As the TV lit up the top news was clearly the new hot same sex couple in Hollywood. And the way they came out.
"As Arizona Robbins was clearly over the moon about the relationship and bragging about it to the world, Callie Torres might not feel the same way. The actress was spotted leaving the room shortly after the announcement" the voice over said as pictures of Callie fleeing the room was shown "E! have not been able to find out how long the two 'Heart and Hospital' stars have been seeing each other but Arizona Robbins only entered the cast last season and from what E! has been told it doesn't seem as if the two actresses knew each other beforehand."
Callie sighed and turned off the TV again. Then she turned and looked at Arizona who had her blue eyes tuned in on her already.
"What are you thinking?" the blonde asked hesitantly.
"I'm thinking I definitely need to say something. And I think part of that needs to be that I'm very happy about this relationship, very much in love with you too and that we've sort of dated for six months. What are you thinking?" Callie softly said.
Arizona smiled back and snuggled a little closer as she closed her eyes. "I think you're the most amazing human being on this planet."
Callie couldn't help but chuckle a little at that. "I really doubt that. But now that it's out we might as well go all in and tell them everything."
The blonde opened her eyes, looked at her girlfriend and raised an eyebrow. "EVERYTHING?"
The brunette laughed and rolled over so Arizona was resting underneath her. "No, not EVERYTHING" Callie said in a mocking tone. She put her weight on her left arm and moved her right hand to stroke an ivory cheek. "Some things will always just be between you and me. But we need to give the reporters something that will satisfy them just a little. Because I bet there's a hoard of them waiting outside for the smallest sign of us."
"Can we stay here in hiding a little longer?" Arizona asked as she reached up and put her hand on top of Callie's that was resting on her cheek.
The brunette smiled down at her girlfriend. "Sure we can. We have nowhere to be today. I do need to call Natalie back though."
The blonde smiled back at Callie. "Of course. You should do that." Then she reached up and grabbed the brunette by her neck before pulling her closer and capturing plump lips in a searing kiss.
Callie moaned into the blonde's mouth and sighed when a soft tongue connected with her own. She let her own circle the blonde's for a couple of seconds before pulling back slightly. Browns orbs watched as blue ones became visible when Arizona opened her eyes as the kiss ended. "No one has ever kissed me like you do" the brunette breathed out.
The blonde delivered a dazzling smile in return. "No one has ever kissed me like you do either." Arizona then pulled Callie to her so their foreheads were resting against each other. The blonde closed her eyes and sighed as she enjoyed being close to her girlfriend. Then she opened her eyes and looked at her gorgeous girlfriend. "Calliope?" the blonde softly let out.
The brunette opened her eyes at the tone in her girlfriend's voice. "Yeah?"
"About yesterday. I'm really sorry. I just really needed everyone to know that you were a part of that for me" Arizona stated.
Callie pulled back a little. "And what about what I needed Arizona? Was that ever a concern to you? Because I can tell you for sure that what happened last night was not it!"
"I thought that this just for once could be about what I needed!" Arizona exclaimed.
The brunette moved to sit up. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Callie asked harshly as she moved herself away from the blonde and out of the bed.
But before she made it that far an ivory hand grabbed her wrist. "Wait!" Arizona pleaded. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that."
"Well that was how you said it" Callie deadpanned.
The blonde pulled on her girlfriend's wrist slightly to get her to come back to sit properly in the bed. "Please don't leave. Please stay and let me explain."
The brunette pulled her wrist from the blonde's grasp and sat in the bed with her back against the headboard. She gestured for Arizona to start talking.
The blonde sighed while straightening out the wrinkles in the duvets. Then she looked up at her clearly annoyed girlfriend. "I didn't mean it like that. And I'm sorry. I just meant that I don't think that you know what it felt like to stand up there and receive that award. The ONLY ONE I wanted to share it with was you Callie. It felt so wrong to stand up there and not even mention you. I needed to give you the credit you deserve."
The brunette rolled her eyes. "You could have mentioned me just fine without sharing our relationship with the whole world! We'd just talked about all of this two weeks ago Arizona! And I get that you were at your wits end but that does not make it okay to just decide for yourself when was the right time."
The blonde felt herself get a little angry. "I WANTED to share it with the whole world, okay? Because you're the most important person in my life and I wanted to share that with everyone that will listen. I love you Callie. And you wanted to wait so that no one could say that either of us only won because we were the new proud and popular gay couple or whatever. And we did that. We waited. And nobody will be able to say anything about my win."
"Still you could have told me and given me a heads up. I just sat there with everyone staring at me when you left the stage" Callie spit out.
"I didn't know I was going to do it okay! So I couldn't give you a heads up. Do you have any idea how it felt when I walked out towards my seat after declaring my love for you and you were nowhere to be seen? I felt like such a fool Callie" Arizona said defeated.
"But it's my life too Arizona!" Callie cut in. "I get a say too in when I come out to the entire world. You just decided that we were ready for that. You can't blame me for needing a second to process."
"And you can't blame me for loving you!" Arizona fired back.
Callie softened her features. "I'll never blame you for that. That's not what I'm saying Arizona! But it's a big thing."
The blonde sighed. "I know okay? But you have been so hot and cold with this subject and it's confused the hell out of me. First you wanted us to be a real couple and then I needed time and then when I finally feel ready for that you pull the breaks. I didn't know I was going to do it, okay? But you're my everything Calliope and I don't want to look back on receiving this award and feel like I didn't make you a part of it. Because you deserve to be."
Arizona looked down for a second before looking back at her girlfriend. "Just being with you have given me so much courage in life and I'm 100% sure that it has reflected directly in to my acting. I've developed so much as an actress during my first season on 'Heart and Hospital' and I know that it's also got something to do with Mark but it is mainly because of you Calliope. First through our friendship and then through our relationship. You are my safe place. When I for some reason doubt myself then there you are, guiding and helping me. Sometimes without even knowing it. This Emmy-award is my biggest achievement so far Callie and it will always be special to me. I want to look at that award and fill with joy. I don't want to look at it regretting that I didn't give you the credit you deserved" the blonde finished softly.
The brunette felt herself tear up a little at her girlfriends heartfelt words. "I get that Arizona. I really do. And I'm pretty sure I would have felt the same if the roles had been reversed. But it won't change the way I felt in that moment. And I'm not saying I'm not happy it's out, because I am. But I would have liked us to talk more about it and make some sort of plan. Because now it somehow comes across as if I'm not proud to be with you and we haven't even really decided what happens next."
The blonde slowly reached out to grab a caramel hand and she felt a little relieved when Callie turned her hand to make it possible for the blonde to intertwine their fingers. "I somehow feel like I tried to bring it up a lot of times, but you pushed me away. And I get that this was inconsiderate and not the way to go. And I'm sorry about that. But I also have to admit that I don't want to go back and change a thing. Because I'm happy it's out. It feels really good that I'll now be able to take you out on dates and just take a stroll hand in hand if we want to do that."
Arizona moved closer to Callie before continuing. "And I know that the press will haunt us down. But I don't care. I don't care if I have to see a picture of me sucking face with you on the front page of every tabloid in this country. I just want to be able to suck face with you every time I feel like it."
The brunette chuckled a little before looking down on their intertwined hands. She softly stroked an ivory hand with her thumb. "I'm scared" Callie whispered.
"Scared?" the blonde asked confused. "About what?"
The brunette looked up at her girlfriend and smiled a little. "About EVERYTHING Arizona. I'm scared the world will ruin us because there are people out there who are not ready for this. I'm scared that you're going to discover that I'm not worth this. I'm scared that you're so caught up in your love for me that you haven't realized what being out really means. I'm scared that this will have consequences for your career, that being with me will hold some people back from hiring you. But mostly I'm scared that you'll discover somewhere along the way that I'm not what you wanted after all and that seeing that plastered all over the tabloids will end me."
Arizona smiled and reached up with her free hand to run it through brown strands of hair. "Calliope" the blonde whispered "I'm not going to discover that you're not what I want. You are all my dreams coming true. And I know that it will be an upheaval for me and us. But I wouldn't have done what I did if I wasn't sure that we could make it. We are ready for this Calliope."
Callie smiled and leaned in to rest her head on Arizona's chest. "Thank you. I'm sorry I freaked out."
"And I'm sorry I outed you to the whole world without giving you a heads up" the blonde softly replied.
The brunette inhaled the scent of her girlfriend. "I love you" Callie stated "more than I have ever loved anyone else Arizona."
Arizona smiled and kissed the top of her girlfriend's head. "I love you more than I have ever loved anyone else too."
Callie buried deeper into the blonde's chest and mumbled something that was really incoherent to Arizona. "I'm sorry honey, but I didn't quite catch that" the blonde chuckled.
The brunette smiled and pulled back. "I should really go call Natalie."
"Yes you should" Arizona replied.
Callie removed herself from the blonde and reached out for her phone. She smiled at Arizona as she put the phone to her ear. "Hi Nat" the brunette stated as her agent picked up.
"Hi Callie. So, you've got an idea what you want to do?" Natalie asked.
"Yes I do actually. I think I need to say something. I would really prefer it if I didn't have to attend any interviews today though, so I was thinking maybe just a tweet for now? And then book me on Ellen as soon as possible." Callie answered.
"I'm going to call them at Ellen right away. They already contacted me for the option of an interview so that won't be a problem. As for the tweet, do you want to do it yourself or should I do it for you?" the agent questioned.
"Would you mind doing it? Just something with me being madly in love with her and us being very happy together. You know just something that will satisfy them for now." The brunette said and shrugged her shoulders.
"Okay. Consider it done. Enjoy your day. Oh and congratulate Arizona from me, would you?" Natalie said.
Callie smiled in the direction of her girlfriend that had now tuned her attention to the TV she'd turned on and had on low volume. "I will. And thank you Nat."
"No problem. I'll text you in a bit when everything is done" the agent replied before ending the call.
The brunette put her phone back down and looked at Arizona who was watching a sitcom. The blonde was smiling really big and when she started laughing Callie couldn't help herself and pulled the blonde to her to plant a long kiss on pink lips.
"What was that for?" Arizona asked when she was released from the brunette's liplock.
"I didn't know I needed a reason to kiss my girlfriend" Callie deadpanned.
The blonde smiled smugly and leaned in towards the brunette again. "You don't! These lips are at your disposal any time you want it!"
Callie laughed and pecked pink lips. "I'm hungry. I'm going to get us some food from the kitchen."
Arizona pouted when her girlfriend moved away from her and out of the bed. "Don't make that face Arizona. I know you're hungry too" the brunette said with a chuckle.
"But I liked what we were doing. Food can wait" the blonde whined.
"We have all day to make out Arizona. But I know you and your stomach is going to start growling any moment now. It's almost noon and even though we had a snack when we came home last night food is necessary at some point anyway" Callie stated.
"Fine! Go get me some food" Arizona said while rolling her eyes dramatically.
As Callie was about to answer the doorbell sounded. "You go see who's there while I start breakfast. I'm going to sue the crap out of them if someone from the press have gotten the brilliant idea to trespass on my private property!" the brunette said with annoyance.
Arizona jumped out of bed and kissed her girlfriend's cheek. "Calm down. I'm sure it's not any of them. I'm sure they know better."
The duo made their way downstairs and Callie turned into the kitchen as Arizona made her way to the front door.
The brunette could hear mumbling and Arizona chuckling at something the person at the door said. After a couple of minutes the blonde came walking into the kitchen with a huge bouquet of flowers. It was a mix of all kinds of purple and pink flowers.
"Wow" the brunette exclaimed "they are really beautiful. Do you know who's sending me flowers?"
"Actually" the blonde said with a smile "they are not for you."
Callie furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean they are not for me? Who else would they be for?"
"Me!" Arizona said as she winked at her girlfriend.
The brunette walked away from the eggs she was whipping and made her way to the blonde and the flowers. "Who's sending you flowers at my place?"
Arizona shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know yet." The blonde then took the card out from the flowers and opened it. A big and dazzling smile spread over her face at the sight of the greeting. The she handed the card to Callie, kissed her on the cheek and went to the living room to get a vase.
The brunette was a little confused and looked at the card when the blonde was out of sight.
Dear Arizona.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR EMMY-WIN!
We knew you could do it.
We're happy you beat Callie's ass.
It's obvious to anyone you were better than her during the past season.
Besides she was getting way too smug about being nominated for all those awards :)
We can't wait to hug you and congratulate you properly.
Love from Rei, Jael & Aria
Callie smiled and put the card down on the table as she went back to the eggs. A few seconds later Arizona came back into the kitchen with a vase in her hand. She came over to get water from the tap next to where Callie was standing. The brunette looked at her girlfriend and smiled. "So it's obvious that you were better than me the past season, huh?"
Arizona chuckled. "Oh no. I've got nothing to do with that. Those are your sisters' words." The blonde then moved to make her way back to the counter where the bouquet was laying. But then she turned and said to her girlfriend with a big smirk. "But I am the one who took home the award last night so I guess there's something to it."
Callie whipped her head around and looked at her girlfriend with mock disbelief. "Oh really? I say you got lucky honey!"
The blonde reached out and poked her girlfriend in the side making her squeal. "Hey that was NOT luck. I'm awesome and you know it!"
The brunette moved away and took out the pan from the cupboard. She put it on the stove and turned it on. Then she moved over to the blonde and grabbed her by the waist. "You really are. And I love you a lot."
Arizona smiled and put her hands around the brunette's neck. "I love you a lot too." She pecked plump lips and pulled her hands away again. "And now I need to go text your sisters."
The blonde then made her way out the kitchen and up the stairs to get her mobile phone. "Hey bring mine too would you?" Callie shouted after her.
A few minutes later the blonde came back and handed the brunette her phone. "Send me their numbers would you?" Arizona asked.
Callie smiled and did as she was told. Then she opened her own messages and sent a text to Jael and Rei that said thank you for the flowers they sent for the blonde. Then she opened a new message for Aria.
*Hi Aria. I know with certainty that the flowers were your doing. Thank you, that was very thoughtful of you. I'm so lucky to have a sister like you that is so considerate about the important people in my life. Let's have a Callie/Aria day as soon as possible. Love
Callie then put her phone down, poured the eggs on the pan and went to stand behind her girlfriend. Arizona was in the process of arranging the flowers in the vase. The brunette kissed an ivory neck and put her chin to rest on the blonde's shoulder.
Arizona leaned back a little and reached behind her to grab two caramel arms and wrap them around her waist. Then she finished arranging the flowers before leaning back again. "You have awesome sisters."
Callie chuckled. "Yes they are really stepping up sometimes. But they also have to make up for years and years of terror when I was younger!"
The blonde laughed at that and turned in her girlfriend's embrace. "It was Aria wasn't it?"
The brunette smiled. "Yes it was."
Arizona put her hand on her girlfriend's cheek. "I really like her. She's very nice. I know that there were some troubles in the beginning but I really think she's great" the blonde softly stated.
"I think she's great too. And even though I'm still a little hurt about her reaction back then she's still my sister. And I love her a lot." Callie softly said.
"Of course you do. And she did organize this after all so I think it's safe to say that she's fine about me being in your life" Arizona said with a smile.
"I think so too. She really likes you. She's told me" the brunette said before leaning down and pecking pink lips. "Do you want to put the flowers in the living room? Then I'll bring breakfast and we can watch TV and relax for the rest of the day?"
"That's an awesome idea!" Arizona stated as she moved out of Callie's embrace to grab the flowers and make her way to the living room.
"Hey" Callie called after her "am I really smug about being nominated for all those awards?"
The blonde chuckled. "Again not my words. You have to talk to your sisters about that" Arizona replied before adding "but they were right about the rest of the stuff on that card…"
That's it for the long awaited chapter 36. I hope it lived up to expectations and that you all liked it.
Let me know what you thought.
Lots of love /Julie
