As ever, thank you so very much for taking the time to leave a review on the last chapter. This is a bit of a filler chapter to move the story along to the big game.
"Oh god...oh my god..." Callie murmured into Arizona's ear as the blonde teased the start of the brunette's third orgasm of the afternoon.
Arizona's arm was starting to ache as she quickly rubbed Callie's throbbing clit to the point where she could tell the brunette was near. Arizona was quickly getting turned on again herself despite coming not long ago. Sex with Callie was so much better than she had ever imagined, and the blonde didn't know what she liked more, giving or receiving.
"Touch me" Arizona whispered as she looked into those big brown eyes with desire. Callie's eyes widened at the request and was only too happy to help the blonde out, slipping her hand down between their bodies she started rubbing the blonde's throbbing nib.
"Fuuuuuuck" Arizona moaned in pleasure as the brunette's fingers put pressure where she needed it the most. Callie's fingers slipped in her juices and they started moving in sync, bumping and grinding together.
Callie was enjoying how turned on Arizona was and could feel her own orgasm rushing towards her as she watched the blonde's body respond to her touch as she rubbed her towards another climax. Arizona was normally always in control, but the brunette loved the way the physio's body would buck up and twitch involuntarily when she lost that control and she gave herself over to her orgasm.
"Look at me Arizona" Callie whispered as she locked eyes with the blonde who stared intently back into Callie's deep brown eyes. Their breathing getting faster as they picked up their pace.
"Come with me." Callie panted as she increased her hand movements as she felt her own orgasm take a grip "ohhhh fuuuck...come with me!" She repeated as she watched Arizona's blue eyes deepen as the brunette felt her body start to convulse on it's own accord.
"I'm coming...shit...oh god...I'm gonna..."
The last word was lost as Arizona's orgasm took over, making Callie climax as she watched the blonde's body shudder.
Arizona's lips hit Callie's "bloody hell" the blonde moaned into the kiss as her body slowly started to return to normal.
"That was so good" Arizona said as she broke away from their kiss and slowly removed her hand from Callie's core causing the brunette to shudder and let out a slow moan of pleasure.
"Mmmmmm I can't get enough of you!" Callie said smiling that the blonde who had collapsed flat onto her bed and was trying to calm her breathing down.
Turning her head the blonde looked seriously at Callie "Thank you" Arizona said as she held Callie's gaze.
"For the sex? You are welcome" Callie joked
"No…. not for the sex, although that was amazing, but for earlier...for sensing that I was scared of more than just losing my job."
Arizona continued "I'm not gonna lie...it's freaking me out a little bit how quickly I've developed feelings for you." Arizona said softly.
"And that's a bad thing?" Callie asked concerned
"No of course not...it's an amazing thing...it's just not something that happens very often, and after everything, I just didn't expect it happen so….easily not to mention quickly."
"Is it too quick?" Callie asked "are you saying you want to slow it down a bit?" the brunette said with worry in her voice at what the Brit was saying.
"NO!...no I don't want to slow it down. I...I don't think I could slow it down now even if I tried!" Arizona said smiling making sure Callie got that she didn't want to slow it down.
"Sorry, I'm making a bit of a hash at this, it's just that this whole situation is so crazy...I mean if this shitty Covid hadn't happened then you wouldn't even be here, you'd still be in Florida and we would never have met."
"Only it did...and now I'm naked in your bed trying to recover from three orgasms!" Callie chuckled as she lent over and placed a gentle kiss on the blonde's bare shoulder.
"Well yes...exactly" Arizona said smiling "I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm sorry I freaked earlier. I can't promise it won't happen again, but I'll try."
Callie reached down and threaded her fingers in between the blondes and looked at Arizona.
"It's OK. I'm sure I'm gonna have more than my fair share of wobble moments, but we'll just work through them as and when they come." Callie felt a lump form in her throat as she pictured telling her parents she was with a woman.
"Look, this all happened super quick and totally unexpected. When I signed for Spurs on the transfer deadline day, I had no idea just what that would mean for me, in more ways than one. I know you've been hurt and it's only natural to want to protect yourself from any sort of pain...but we have a chance here Arizona..."
"I know we do." Arizona placed a soft kiss on the brunette's lips "one thing I've learnt from my past relationships is that I need to be more vocal with how I'm feeling...less stiff upper lip, so with that in mind...there's something I need to know"
"OK" Callie replied slightly worried what the blonde was going to ask.
"Am I your girlfriend?" The blonde asked softly "or do you wanna see other people?"
Callie looked back and saw the vulnerability in the normally confident physio, before her face broke into a huge beam "No of course I'm not interested in seeing other people...and yes you're my girlfriend...wow that sounded weird!" She said laughing
Arizona smiled back "ohhh yeah I'm your first girlfriend...I kinda like that!" She admitted
"You do? You're not wishing you were...you know...with someone more...experienced?" Callie asked as her insecurities popped up and got the better of her.
Arizona laughed "ummmm I think it's fair to say you are a VERY fast learner Torres and you have nothing to worry about on that front!"
"Really?" Callie said beaming again pleased with the positive feedback she had just received.
"Really! I find you incredibly sexy and the sex is really hot!." Arizona said raising a cheeky eyebrow.
"I think you are absolutely beautiful" Callie said as she took in the blonde's naked body but she noticed that her words had seemed to have made the blonde a little uncomfortable
"Oh no! She said with concern "Crap…was it too much?"
Arizona shook her head "no...of course not...it's just it's been a long time since someone has called me that!" Arizona admitted a little embarrassed "I normally get cute or adorable...but not really beautiful."
"Well...they clearly don't know what they are talking about...because I have managed to bag myself one hot, stunningly beautiful girlfriend who just also happens to have a super sexy accent." Callie said smiling at Arizona who's dimples popped at the statement.
Arizona chuckled "oh soooo you like my English accent do you?" She said smiling back at the American.
Callie pretended to fan her face with her hand "like it?...oh my...Dr Robbins...you have no idea what it does to me." Callie chuckled "especially when you when you say 'bloody'!" before raising an eyebrow in the blonde's direction.
"Really?" Arizona responded surprised and laughing
"Really!" Callie joining in with the laughter "I can't explain it."
"That's so...random!" Arizona laughed
"I know right...it's just such a British thing to say...it makes me feel all...gooey!"
"Gooey!" Arizona laughed again
Callie swatted the physio "And if you ever tell anyone I said that I will kill you!" The brunette said laughing.
That night they talked for hours getting to know each other even better. No question was off limit. Callie told Arizona everything that Jess had said and how great she had been. They talked about growing up and key friendships in their lives and as Arizona cooked them dinner the blonde opened up a little more about Alex and their relationship.
"How are you feeling about seeing her on Sunday?" Callie asked and watched as the blonde reflected before answering
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous about it." Arizona said honestly
"Well she better not try anything funny with you!" Callie said pulling Arizona towards her "you're a taken woman now!"
Arizona kissed Callie "Mmmm do you know what? I actually really like how that sounds." Arizona said.
"Good. Because I am 100% in this." Callie said wrapping an arm around Arizona's waist to pull her closer.
"Me too." Arizona smiled "I know we have a lot to figure out, but let's not jump too far ahead of ourselves, let's just keep talking and being honest."
"I can do that." Callie responded before placing her lips back on the blondes.
--
Over the next few days Callie and Arizona worked hard to build up the strength in her ankle. The plan was to make an assessment on Friday if Callie was fit to be selected for the game on Sunday. Callie was of course desperate to play, but they were up against it. This was a classic example where the physio team were under pressure from the manager and player to sign her fit to play. Callie had become a key player for the team and she would be missed if she wasn't out there with all her experience.
"How's it looking?" Sam asked as she joined Arizona in the physio's office on Thursday.
"Hmmm right now it's 50/50" Arizona informed her pal. "Even with a cortisone shot we gave her on Tuesday, there is still swelling after she is exercising".
"Well that's natural" Sam added
"Yeah of course, I'm just not sure how long she'll last if I sign her fit for Sunday and the potential longer term damage. Let's face it, they will obviously target the ankle. I think the most she'll be fit for is 20 minutes, 30 max"
"So that's not going to go down well" Sam said before chuckling "I'm totally letting you tell her the good news!"
"Callie will be fine. She's a professional and she knows it was a serious sprain" Arizona added
"Errrr yeah she totally acted like a professional last week" Sam scoffed
"Hey come on Sam, she apologised!" Arizona said defending the brunette
"And so she should!"
Arizona made a deep sigh as she looked over at her friend "Listen, I know you didn't form the best first impression of Callie, but I like her, so will you try?" Arizona said whispering the last part in case anyone was outside.
"How much like her?" Sam asked with a smile
Arizona shot up and closed the door and rested against it "like really like her" the blonde said unable to keep the cheesy smile off her face.
"Well that's great Robbins!" Her fellow physio smiled back at her friend
"I mean it nearly went tits up the other day"
"Why? What happened?" Sam said taking a seat
"Jess Woods turned up at Callie's house and we basically got rumbled"
"Shit!" "What happened?" Sam asked "Did she lose her shit?"
"Well the night before we umm kinda did the deed an.."
"WHAT! And? How was it?" Sam interrupted her friend excitedly at the news that she had slept with Callie Torres
"Amazing!" Arizona beamed back "but back to the story." Arizona smiled
"Of course. Sorry!" Sam said crossing her legs in anticipation at the rest of the story
"Anyway, it was the next day and I was drying my hair, and I spotted a huge hickie on my collarbone and I yelled out down the stairs…only Callie wasn't on her own, Jess had turned up and I hadn't heard the doorbell" Arizona said as she cringed thinking about the moment again.
"Oh crap!" Sam said pulling a face at her friend as she pictured the scene "So that's why you've been wearing that polo top buttoned all the way up" Sam laughed
"I know. Only me right!" Arizona shook her head joining in the laughter.
"So what happened? Is she going to say anything?" Sam asked concerned for her friend
"No, Callie spoke to her and she said she wasn't going to, so we just have to trust her and hope for the best."
"And be more careful!" Sam said giving her friend a knowing look.
"Well yeah that too. The point is, I like her and so I really want you too. Will you and your much kinder, compassionate wife come over for dinner one night?" Arizona asked "And give her a proper chance. She's fun"
"Ok for you Robbins, anything".
Callie passed the medical on Friday and had a practice session with the rest of the team on Saturday before Arizona gave her another injection to keep the inflammation down. They agreed that they would next see each other after the game, but they facetimed each other on Saturday night and watched a couple of episodes of the L word.
"How you feeling about the match tomorrow?" Callie asked
"You mean…how do I feel about seeing Alexandra?" Arizona said down the camera
"Errr yup, I guess that's what I mean" Callie said softly
"Well I'm hoping that she misses a penalty, we thrash them, that my gorgeous hot girlfriend scores the winning goal and that her ankle doesn't get anymore bashed up and we end the night having more amazing sex." Arizona smiled down the camera
"Ohhh I like the sound of that." Callie smiled back at her girlfriend before they chatted for a bit more before ending the call.
Sunday – Match day
"Hej Ari".
Arizona stopped dead in her tracks as she heard her ex-wife's voice. She had thought about this moment since the news broke of Alex signing for Chelsea and here it was. She felt her heart rate increase and her throat tighten at the sound of the name she called Arizona.
Sam shot her friend a look to check she was OK and Arizona gave a small nod, thankful for her friends support "you umm" she said clearing the lump in her throat "you go ahead, I'll be along shortly"
Arizona turned to look at Alex who was dressed head to toe in her Chelsea training kit. Her hair was held in place by her lucky hairband and Arizona noticed she had put mascara on her lashes. Alex had never really needed to wear make up, her Swedish genes had blessed her with a complexion that always seemed to have a glow about it, although Arizona noticed her skin was more tanned from her years in Spain.
"det är kul att se dig" the Swede said to her ex with a small smile "du ser bra ut"
Arizona scoffed at the blondes attempt to start a conversation in her native language. Arizona had become pretty fluent in the language during their time together. They had spoken Swedish in Spain when they had wanted to say something in private around other people. Initially it had been their way of flirting around other people, but as the years went on, it was more often the case that they were finishing an argument.
Alex had said Arizona looked good, but the truth couldn't have been more different. She was in the incredibly unflattering Spurs tracksuit and wearing rubber gloves, a face mask and a face shield as required for Covid safety.
"Listen Alex..." Arizona responded in English "...I would say it's good to see you too, but that would be a lie!" Arizona said surprising herself at the level of anger seeing her ex-wife in the flesh again was causing her. "I really have to go" Arizona said turning to walk towards the pitch
"Can we speak? later, after the game?" Alex called out "Please Ari, I just want to talk." She said as she watched the blonde walk away.
Arizona couldn't really deal with it right then and so yelled back "I'll think about it" before she headed to the physio section by the side of the pitch.
Sam watched her friend with concern as she dropped her medical bag and took a seat next to her. "All OK?" She asked the blonde who seemed flustered following the encounter with Alex.
"I'm fine" Arizona said a little sharply for it be believable. She took a deep breath and turned to look at her friend "Sorry" Arizona apologised and took a deep breath "she wants to talk, after the game."
"What did you say?" Sam asked
"I didn't know what to say Sam. I mean I've literally been dreading this day for months, since we saw that she had signed for Chelsea." The blonde admitted to her fellow physio.
"I know you have, but you don't owe her anything Arizona. If you don't want to see her, then don't OK? She lost her right to ask you to do anything the minute she jumped into bed with another woman."
Arizona closed her eyes momentarily as she had a flash back to that awful day when what had mean to be a pleasant surprise turned into the worst day of her life. Arizona could still remember it so clearly. Remember walking in super quietly into the apartment Alex was renting in Barcelona, walking down the hallway and opening the bedroom door to find her wife naked on top of another woman. Arizona remembered the look in Alex's blue eyes as she turned and saw Arizona looking at her. She remembered vividly the look they exchanged at that very moment when Alex knew she had just blown their marriage up.
Arizona opened her eyes and looked at Sam "I know she did, but I can't pretend that seeing her again hasn't unnerved me a little." Arizona admitted.
"I've imagined how this day would go so many times and every time, I've been super cool and calm. She literally says one thing in Swedish to me and I'm thrown."
Sam looked at Arizona with concern "Arizona remember what she put you through!"
"Oh I remember!" Arizona scoffed "and don't worry, I have no intention of getting back with her, it's just..." Arizona paused before she said the thing that had her head spinning "she was my wife Sam. We went through a lot together and I guess I'm struggling to ignore that history. Maybe I should meet her, hear what she has to say, what harm could it do?"

I've got a rough idea where I want this story to end up but we've a fair bit to go yet. I'd love to know what you'd like to see from the story.
Take care everyone. S x
