Arizona's POV
I woke up before her, the brunette I had longed for for so many years. To manny years. I had honestly never thought I would see this beautiful face again. I thought she moved and would never return. Who would want to return to this small town where nothing ever happens. I had laid there for about a half an hour just watching her sleep. Taking in all that was calliope Torres. The woman who had been in the back of my mind for years. I had my head on her chest and my arm a crossed her abdomen.
To say I was shocked when she swung that door open expecting that pizza. And I knew the minute I saw the beautiful brown eyes that had reminded me of dark chocolate candy. I had missed staring into them so much, I knew I need to reach out to her. So I hastily jotted down my cell. I had sent up a silent prayer that she would text, I smiled my most bubbly dimpled smile and walked away. The ball in her court.
I was so happy when she texted me that she wanted to get together. And at her place I was shocked. When she asked me to sleep over. Thinking back to that summer we spent together we had never spent the night. I was glad when we just slept. I wanted to do this right for once. I had a few women after she left. Nothing serious. I wanted to get to know her again. Learned what made calliope tick. What drove her, what kept her up at night, what made her smile through the day and what made those beautiful eyes cry.
I always thought that Calliope was the one that got away. She was my first true love. Actually I think she was my only love. No one had made my heart race the way she did when we held hands for the first time. No any time really. I had thought back to our first kiss. It was the field. The most beautiful place I had ever been. I have gone back to field every summer since. Always packing a lunch and a class bottle of coke. Those aren't as easy to find anymore but I managed.
" hey, morning" she broke me out of my thoughts with her sleepy morning voice. My eyes grazed up at hers. And I smiled shyly.
" hi, how did you sleep?" Part of me was nervous. I wanted this but it was new to me. She locked out fingers together.
"Better then I have in ten years" she returned my smile. She had a perfect smile. As cliche as it is, it could light up a whole room.
"I'm glad, want to grab some breakfast at the little cafe on broad st?" I was nervous but I didn't want to say goodbye yet.
" hmm let me check my schedule" my eyes shot up at her pleading.
"I'd love to go with you Arizona. It's a date. Let's get ready" my heart skipped a beat, was it a real date? Or just a friend date. she slowly started to wiggle free, but I stopped her needing one quick kiss.
Holding her down with my arm I leaned up and kissed her quickly on her lips. I had Been thinking about kissing those soft lips all night and all morning. Lifting my arm I let her up, but she just laid there with her eyes closed, I smiled to myself hopeful she was feeling what I was feeling.
"We'll come on calliope get up!" I lightly slapped her thigh. I grabbed last night's clothes and headed for the bathroom.
When I emerged she was dressed in a sheer white blouse with black buttons and black skinny jeans and a pair of white flats. She looked absolutely stunning. I have no doubt she always looks stunning. I couldn't wait to spend the morning with her,

Callies POV
I had been in a flustered state since she kissed me. I have wanted to feel those lips on mine for ten years now. I have kissed a few girls and a few guys since then. But nothing started my heart the way Arizona Robbins did. Getting dressed seemed to be difficult. All I thought about was those lips on mine.
She walked me to the little cafe on broad st. I vaguely remembered where it was but I haven't been home in almost 5 years. After my parents found out I was bisexual they had cut me off for a few years. We had reconnected a year ago and I finished out my contract at the law firm I was at. When time came up I hired movers and moved back home. I had thought a lot about what it would be like to run into Arizona again. But most of me didn't think that would happen. So when she delivered my pizza it was a welcomed surprise.
We sat at a small round table that had a puzzle of a beautiful rainforest. glued and glossed to it. Both ordered a cup of coffee mine with two sugars two cream and hers with three sugars two cream.
"Did you ever think about leaving here?" I asked.
"Yah, at moments but I'm all my parents have now. And well this is home. It's all I have ever known. This is home. Even if it's always felt like something is missing." She smiled at me sadly.
I felt that in my heart. Nothing had felt like home in a long time. Everything just felt like rooms and windows that I'm passing through. But I had a slight feeling in my heart I might have found what I was looking for. It's too soon to tell I think. Or not. I think the heart knows what it wants. Who it wants. And being with Arizona was like being home. More than when I got here that first week felt lonely, yah I had my family. But i I guess there was something, no someone missing. We feel into a good Rhythm together.

General pov
The two girls sat and chatted for a few hours catching up discussing their plans for the upcoming days. They each had two cups of coffee. It was around noon now and Arizona had to be to work at one. And she needed to run home and change. Arizona asked Callie if they could meet again. And Callie said yes. Asked her to come over after work again. Arizona quickly agreed. They walked outside after Callie paid the tab. The blonde leaned in and kissed her softly goodbye.
Callie went home and Made herself busy with minor chores at first. Then she watched some tv and decided she would treat Arizona to some dinner. Deciding on spaghetti and meatballs, because you can't go wrong with a classic. She had a late lunch, nothing special, just a quick burger and onion rings. from a little shop down the street.
Arizona's work day went by so slow. She wanted nothing more than to be off work and meet up with her, she didn't know what Calliope was to her. But she wanted her in all aspects. When it was finally time to close Arizona sighed in relief. She grabbed the pizza she had ordered for the two and headed to Callies apartment. Once she got there she knocked on the door and waited very impatiently for calliope to answer the door.
"Hey Arizona, you brought pizza?" Callie questioned.
"Um ya, is that ok?" Arizona asked nervously.
"Yah, I just made up spaghetti too" Callie smiled at the blonde. Moving aside to let her in.
