Chapter 38

Callie thought that last night had been one of the worst nights of her life. She had not been able to sleep and had gotten up to send Arizona two different text messages but never received a response. Her phone buzzed about three o'clock but it was Teddy not Arizona. She had never had such a sleepless night. She rolled over and looked at the clock. Was 6:15 too early to go see her? She wanted to get a few things straight and didn't give a damn if her father was there or not. Rolling out of the bed, she headed towards the bathroom. She hoped a shower would help her disposition.

The shower had done nothing to help her mood. She knew nothing would help until she saw Arizona and asked her why she was ignoring her and try to talk things out. She wanted this to work but she also knew she had every right to be angry. She finished getting ready and walked outside to climb into her Mustang. She headed towards Arizona's with one goal in mind. Be firm.

Arizona had the worst night ever. She had not been able to sleep at all. Her conscience was really getting to her about Calliope. Her whole body felt terrible. She was so tired she knew she would never make it the rest of the day. She hoped a nice hot shower would help.

After spending over half an hour in the shower she came out of the bathroom and walked into her bedroom to get dressed. She was so glad that her parents would not be over until tonight. That would give her time to sit and relax. Who the hell was she kidding? She was miserable. Callie had sent her several texts early this morning and she still let them go without responding. She would not blame her if she didn't want to speak to her again. After dressing in yoga pants and a v-neck shirt, she headed back into the living room. Her hair was still wet but she didn't care. She had no one to impress.

Arizona was folding a load of baby clothes when she heard the knock on the door. Dammit, her parents were not supposed to be here. Quickly walking to the door she peered through the peephole. It was Callie. Now what?

"Arizona? Let me in."

Arizona knew she had to open the door. She had already ignored her since yesterday morning. And that really would not work with her standing on the other side. She unlocked the door and pulled it open. Callie looked as bad as she felt.

Callie wanted to kiss away the worry written all over Arizona's face. She looked as if she had not slept the night before either. But even with all that going on she still looked beautiful. Her wet hair framing her face in soft curls. Wait she was angry. Of course that did nothing to take away from her beauty. Firm, Callie.

"Are you okay, Arizona?"

Arizona's guilt was overflowing her senses. She knew she was being so unfair to Callie but she could not make herself speak. Really all she wanted to do was cry. Instead she looked away from Callie and turned around to head back to the clothes she was folding.

Callie watched Arizona as she tried to maintain her aloof facade. That action only pissed Callie off further and spurred her into action. Taking a deep breath, she crossed the room quickly, watching as Arizona turned startled eyes towards her. Grasping her by the shoulders she pulled her forward and walked them backwards before pressing her against the wall; swallowing Arizona's shocked gasp by sealing their lips together. The kiss was harsh, lips grinding together without any hint of affection. She felt the jolt of shock move through Arizona's body as she ran her hands down her arms trapping them against her sides as she grabbed handfuls of fabric over each hip, effectively pinning her between the wall and her body.

She kissed Arizona for several moments letting the adrenaline course through her, still angry but soon realizing that she may be scaring Arizona. Never in this lifetime would she want to be someone who would frighten her – especially not with the history Arizona had. Easing up on her restrictive hold, Callie continued to kiss Arizona, only this time she tried to coax a response out of her. Trailing her hands down over the glorious ever-expanding belly between them, she grasped Arizona's thigh pulling it up and around her hip, pressing forward. Arizona responded by digging her nails into the skin at her waist.

Callie gentled her kisses as she pressed forward then back, setting a gentle rhythm, trying to get Arizona to move with her. She kissed along her jaw, trailing her tongue along the silky skin before nibbling on her earlobe. Callie felt Arizona begin to respond. She didn't struggle so she let go of the fear that she had frightened her. Pressing her cheek tight against Arizona's she whispered in her ear, "Te Amo, Arizona". She listened to the small whimper work its way out of Arizona's throat as she pressed harder against her center, pulling her leg tighter against her hip. Arizona's only response to Callie's declaration was to press a small kiss against the sensitive skin below her ear. Callie felt the hurt dance down her spine before she nipped it in the bud. She reached down with her free hand, palming Arizona's breast, pinching the nipple as she moaned and arched into her. Callie pressed her face against Arizona's neck, she licked over her collarbone, nipping the bone causing her to cry out. She whispered in her ear, "Don't tell me you're not wet for me right now Arizona. Are you? Tell me." Arizona didn't say anything, but Callie could feel her digging her fingers into her own hips. "Has anyone ever gotten you as wet as I can?" Arizona whimpered in the back of her throat when Callie nipped at her earlobe.

Pulling back, Callie looked into Arizona's eyes as she shoved her fingers into the sides of her pants and pushed them off her hips. She held Arizona's gaze for a moment before kneeling in front of her. She held the material tight in her hand as she looked up at her once again. Arizona met her gaze, vaguely stunned, but she didn't protest as Callie pulled her pants the rest of the way down, tossing them to the side after she stepped out of them.

Callie's world narrowed to the sight in front of her, the background music of Arizona's sharp pants sounding heavy in her ears. She's still angry, but more hurt than anything. She wanted to prove to Arizona that what they had was something special. That what they had was real. Leaning forward she inhaled the spicy scent of Arizona's arousal. It wasn't the first time she had enjoyed it, but it was the first time she had been so close to its source. As she trailed her hands up the back of Arizona's thighs, she caught her gaze and leaned forward and rubbed her cheek against Arizona's belly, running her hands along the sides, nails scratching lightly at her skin. The love she felt for Arizona and Amelia overwhelmed her for a moment, but she reined her emotions back in. She was angry, dammit, and she needed to prove... something to Arizona. To let her know that she was not going to turn her back on everything they had gone through together this past year. She was not going to let her retreat and dismiss her. She would not lose her family.

Renewed anger pushed Callie forward. She caught Arizona's gaze once again, feeling the anger and the arousal swirl together in her belly. "I want to taste you Arizona. I need to taste you." Arizona moaned at the words and arched her back in silent invitation still not saying anything. Callie curled her hand around the back of Arizona's knee, lifting her leg over her shoulder. Turning her head, she kissed her thigh, feeling the trembling muscles against her lips. She anchored one hand on the thigh over her shoulder and the other against the back of Arizona's other leg. Tugging her forward, Callie stroked her tongue back to front before drawing her clit into her mouth. She felt Arizona shudder before she tightened her thigh over her shoulder, her leg now trailing along her back, and pulled her in, pressing her forehead against the tight flesh of her belly. The salty sweet taste of Arizona burst across her tongue as she pulled Arizona further into her mouth, her tongue softly working against her flesh. The taste and smell surrounded her, as her fingertips kneaded the silky skin of her inner thigh, spreading the wetness that she found there. Arizona's moans were harsh, seemingly ripped from somewhere deep inside. Callie's emotions continued to boil as she rolled the hard bud between her lips, teeth lightly scraping as Arizona started to rock her hips into Callie's face. Her tongue explored the silky lips, suckling the velvety skin it found before it dipped briefly inside. Arizona could no longer hold herself back as she reached forward to tangle one hand in Callie's hair, bracing her other hand against the wall trying to hold herself in place as best she could.

"Calliope! Callie, please... I need you... I need you."

Callie heard the words that she had needed to hear since she had gotten there spill out of Arizona's mouth, her voice somewhere between a sob and a moan. As much as she wanted to continue, she knew that Arizona couldn't take much more. She returned her mouth to Arizona's clit as she pushed two fingers deep inside. She felt like her heart was going to burst at the feeling of Arizona surrounding her, her smell, her touch, the sounds she made as Callie pumped her fingers slowly in and out of her body. She felt Arizona tighten around her before her climax ripped through her, the contractions of her body holding her fingers hostage as Arizona came against her tongue.

Callie waited a minute letting Arizona's body calm before she removed her fingers, her tongue warm as she slowly continued to lick along the slick lips before her. She felt Arizona's fingers as she tugged gently, a silent request for Callie to stop and stand up again before her. She placed a small kiss against the delicate mound in front of her as she eased the leg off her shoulder, making sure that Arizona wasn't going to fall before she stood up and tugged the trembling woman against her chest. She caressed her back, letting her catch her breath. Callie slowly realized that what just happened between them hadn't changed a damn thing. She could still feel the anger warring with the sadness. She needed to leave before words were said that couldn't be taken back. She needed a minute to catch her own breath.

Arizona looked up when Callie grasped her shoulders and pushed her back.

"I have to go."

Arizona needed a second for her mind to change gears. "What?"

"I have to go Arizona." Callie bent over and picked up Arizona's pants, handing them to her as she backed away.

Arizona grasped the pants to her chest more out of instinct than anything. She could have sworn that Callie had just said she was leaving. Callie, who had just made love to her, was going to leave her. Her mind was in turmoil, but more than that she felt panicked. Scared that if she let Callie walk out the door, she wasn't going to come back to her.

"Callie please!"

"No, Arizona. Just... no." Callie backed up another few steps afraid that even as angry as she was, she would still give in and let Arizona continue to hide. Taking a deep breath, she decided to just lay it all on the line. If they were going to have a real relationship, then they had to be honest. "You need to make up your mind. If we are going to make a go of this relationship, then you need to make up your mind." She swallowed hard around the lump in her throat. "You need to be brave enough to accept your feelings and let us move forward."

Arizona felt as if her heart was going to beat out of her chest. The truth was a bitter pill to swallow and the guilt and sorrow threatened to swallow her whole.

Callie reached out as if she were going to run her hand down Arizona's cheek, but caught herself before she touched her. The temptation to stay would be too great if she touched her skin again. She looked deep into Arizona's eyes as if she would find the answer she needed hiding there, but the tear-washed blue was going to break her heart. She clenched her jaw tight and turned towards the door, "When you figure out how much it doesn't matter what other people think, let me know." Without waiting for a reply, she opened the front door and left.

All Arizona could do was bury her face in her hands and cry.
