Thank you for the reviews for the last chapter it's great to hear what you think and Carly F, I'm please you like the soccer story now. Tingtorn78 - the story behind the scar will be revealed shortly when Arizona opens up more to Callie.

Getting your reviews make my day. I'm currently quarantined in Dublin as I've come home for a month to see my family. Working for the next couple of weeks, but then I should have more time to work on this and my other story Therapy.

"Alex slept with another woman and it crushed me"

Callie really wasn't expecting that "shit I'm sorry Arizona" she looked over with concern at the blonde

"Why are you apologising?" Arizona said with a chuckle "I mean I caught them at it so I know it wasn't you!" Arizona said holding Callie gaze.

Callie saw the vulnerability Arizona was feeling right then "do you ummm wanna come in for a glass of wine?" She asked

Arizona paused unsure of which answer to give - yes I do want to do that, because I'm drawn to you and I want to spend more time with you...or thanks but I'm driving and so I don't think that's a good idea.

Callie added, as it she could hear Arizona's thoughts "you can stay in one of the spare rooms so you know you don't have to worry about driving"

"Sure why not. Wine sounds good" Arizona said with a smile and felt a small pack of butterflies in her stomach as Callie's face broke into a wide smile. God she really was stunning Arizona thought to herself.

Once inside the house Callie popped on a Spotify playlist and poured them both a glass of red wine. They settled next to each other of the huge sofa in the living room and clinked glasses.

"Cheers mate!" Callie said in a bad English accent which made Arizona chuckle

"Oh wow...WHAT was that! we need to work on that cockney accent" Arizona said as she took a sip of her wine

"Really?" Callie responded in mock surprise "because I thought it was the bees knees mate!"' She tried again making the physio burst into laughter

"Oh please stop...it's so bad." Arizona said laughing as she saw the brunette's face crack into a smile

"Okay I'll stop but only if you promise to teach me some cockney slang!"

"What you mean like apple and pears?" Arizona asked

"Exactly...and what's the other one, I heard it in a movie ..." Callie thought for a few seconds "oh...brown bread!" Callie said all proud of herself.

"Dead?" Arizona responded with a smile on her face "you do realise no one actually talks like this anymore!"

"What? Oh how disappointing...go on humour me please...say something in Cockney " Callie pleaded

"Okay...let me think!" Arizona said biding for time before taking a sip of her wine

"When I see your boat I smile" the blonde said with a mischievous smile

"Whaaat?" Callie said laughing

"When I see your boat I smile" the physio repeated "and I'm not telling you, you're going to have to work it out...and no googling!" Arizona laughed

"OK. Challenge excepted" Callie smiled "and when I work it out you owe me dinner!"

"Ohhhh I like a confident woman" Arizona replied before she had a chance to think about her words. Flirty Arizona had kicked in and as Callie's brown eyes searched her blue and she knew she was in trouble.

"Oh you do do you ?" Callie replied raising one of her eyebrows

"I mean ...who doesn't!" Arizona said trying get herself out of the pickle she was getting in.

Callie picked up on the comment and changed what she was going to say "Is that what attracted you to Alex?" Callie asked

Arizona took another sip of wine before answering "I guess, that and her accent" the blonde admitted as she thought back to how cute she had found Alex's Swedish accent.

"Tell me happened?" Callie asked hoping for a full answer

Arizona hesitated slightly weighing up how much to share to the American, how much to let her in. She wasn't sure how she did it, but she made Arizona feel comfortable around her without even trying. Arizona decided to tell the whole story.

"Soooo Al and I met at Georgetown. It was maybe six months after I had split from Helen and I was not looking for anything serious, I was umm let's just say I was enjoying making up for lost time having finally come to terms with my sexuality." Arizona had for a few months had a number of flings with women she had met in bars and was working out what she liked.

"Nothing wrong with that" Callie said with a small smile keen to make the blonde feel at ease

"Right, well one weekend in April about six years ago the team were away at a tournament in Florida and I spotted this tall, blonde forward on the North Carolina team who everyone was talking about. She literally couldn't stop scoring goals." Arizona took a sip of her wine and subconsciously pulled one of the cushions off the sofa and hugged it for security as she continued the story.

"Georgetown had to play North Carolina in the semis and, gosh it feels strange saying this now...after everything that has happened...but she literally took my breath away." Arizona felt a cheeks flush slightly as she shared her feelings with the American was listening intently.

"Alex was one of the best players I had seen in years, she was so good on the ball, everything seemed to come naturally to her, she was super fast and excellent in the air. It was a joy to watch her play. They beat us in the Semis and went on to win the final and Alex got the most valuable player award."

"I was there!" Callie realised

"Really?" Arizona said surprised

"Yeah it was 2013 right?"

"Right, but I don't remember seeing you play," Arizona admitted. Callie had been selected for the national team and was a rising star in the states.

"I got taken out by a bad tackle in the first game, so I spent the rest of the weekend on the benches with an ice pack on my ankle" Callie explained

"OK well that makes sense as I would have definitely remembered seeing you" Arizona said holding the brunette's gaze slightly longer than she should have.

"Anyway..." Arizona said breaking her gaze "...at the end of the tournament there was the party and well to cut a long story short, we hooked up that night and I pretty much fell in love with her there and then." Arizona looked down at her hands nervously.

"So then what?" Callie probed

"Then we started a whirlwind romance and got engaged after about 6 month and got married shortly after. God we were in such a rush to be married it seems crazy now!" Arizona shook her head as she thought back to their wedding day in Sweden where gay marriages had been legal since 2009.

"Well at least you didn't run off and marry your high school sweetheart one weekend in Las Vegas!" Callie said in an attempt to make the blonde feel more comfortable

"Well that is true!" Arizona smiled as she looked over again at Callie who was staring intently at her "please tell me you did the whole Elvis thing?"

"Of course! When in Vegas" Callie laughed before continuing "sweet George"

"How long were you together for?" Arizona asked

"We managed a year before we both came to our sense and realised we weren't right for each other. George was my perfect first love, but he was never going to be my one true love, or I his." Callie admitted

Arizona swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat "so do you think we only get one true love?" She said looking over at the American

"What?" Callie asked

"You said George wasn't your one true love...so do believe we only have one great love in our life times?" Arizona asked

"Well I'm probably the wrong person to ask as I don't think I've found mine...yet" Callie said "what about you? Was Alex your one true love?"

Arizona thought for a few moments before answering "maybe. I loved her so much, but it was all one sided, she rarely did anything she didn't want to do, everything was for her pleasure. If I do find love again, I definitely know what I don't want in that partner!"

"You'll find love again..." Callie said confidently "if you want it that is, it'll come and find you when you are least expecting it!" Callie smiled softly at the physio.

"Hmm I don't know Torres, I think I may be damaged goods!" Arizona said looking down at her hands again

"How did Alex cheat on you?" Callie asked "I mean, if you don't mind me asking?" She added in case it was too much for the Brit.

"Well For some reason you seem to be very good and getting me to talk, so you may as well hear the whole story...after a couple of years in the states we both decided to move back to Europe to be closer to our families. Al got signed by Barcelona and I got a job at Real as assistant physio. It meant we were apart for a big chunk of time, but I thought we were solid enough to make it work. I had learnt from my previous long distance relationship and so knew what I needed to do to make it work. One weekend I decided to surprise Al and flew to Barcelona. That's when I found her in bed with one of her team mates, apparently it had been going on for a while, I had just been too blinkered to see it."

"Fuck! That's awful" Callie said softly and instinctively reached over and took one of Arizona's hands in hers, a move which made the blonde look over at the brunette and smile softly.

"It stung like hell. I literally felt like the rug had been pulled from underneath me, and I couldn't really talk about it for a good 3 months afterwords." Arizona admitted "but then I started to move on and I realised I needed to get away from Spain, so I applied for the job at Spurs and well here I am. Divorced, single and right now sounding like a complete lost case!" Arizona said trying to make a joke out of the situation

"I don't think that." Callie said as she squeezed Arizona's hand "so how did it feel to see Alex on the TV the other day?" Callie asked keen to know how the blonde felt about her ex

"Honestly...I felt nothing...well maybe not nothing...but very little. I cut her from my life completely and that's what's enabled me to move on." Arizona could feel the brunette's eyes on her and turned to meet her gaze "don't get me wrong, I'm not best pleased about her being in London and as for her wanting to get back together, well that's never happening in a million years!"

"Really?" Callie asked "I mean, she is hot!"

"Mmm depends what your type is...I've kinda moved on from blonde egotistical self centred Swedish women.." Arizona said with a soft smile

Callie hesitated as she plucked up the courage to ask the blonde what her type was now, but before she could speak Arizona gulped the rest of her wine down and announced that she should probably call it a night.

Disappointedly Callie showed Arizona up to the one of the spare bedrooms and gave her a travel toothbrush and a T-shirt to sleep in.

"Thanks again for everything today Arizona, for all your support, I umm really appreciate it" Callie said nervously as the two women stood outside their bedrooms.

"I'm just happy I was able to help, and well done on talking to Jess, I imagine it will be a little weird to start, but you'll get your friendship back on track soon."

"I hope so."Callie paused "anyway, good night...sleep well" as she leant in and placed a soft gentle kiss on Arizona's cheek. Callie let the kiss linger a little longer then usual and noticed Arizona chest rise as she took a deep breath.

FUCK Arizona screamed in her head she was so tempted to push the brunette up against the wall and kiss her until neither of them could breath.

Arizona stared intensely into those brown eyes as Callie moved her head back from the kiss. Brown met blue and the desire they were both feeling right then was visible in their eyes. Arizona had to resist but it was so hard.

"Good night Calliope" she whispered and turned to open her bedroom door only to feel Callie's hand reach out and grab her by the wrist preventing her from leaving.

"Arizona" Callie whispered the blondes name causing her to turn and look at the brunette "I know I'm new to this...but there is something here right? I'm not imagining things...you feel it too right?"

Ohhh cliffhanger! Let me know what you think and any theories you may have on my plans for the story.

I appreciate that this might be a bit too slow for some people, but I really am trying to make it seem plausible. I want them to get to know each more, flirt more, maybe have a bit of drama before they have their time together. This is a Calzona story so it will happen, just not for a little while yet.
