Thanks so much for the reviews and great to hear where some of you are reading this story from. To the guest reading from Sweden, I apologise for my poor attempt at Swedish a couple of chapters ago!
As you can tell by my fourth chapter in two days I'm in the zone with this story. I spent far too much of my day today writing this rather than working. Whoops! Your kind reviews have well and truly spurred me on...Spurs - get it (sorry!)
Anyway...So far in this relationship things have been going pretty smoothly. Some might say too smoothly for a Calzona fanfic!
So prepare for some drama.

"Fuck Callie!" Arizona panted as she flopped back onto the sofa, pulling a blanket off the back of the sofa to wrap around their naked, slightly sweaty bodies. "...That was hot!" The blonde said kissing the brunette who had just given her back-to-back orgasms.
Callie shuffled onto her side so they were face to face and smiled as she tried to steady her own breathing. She licked her lips and tasted the blonde's juices "What can I say? I missed you when you were gone!" She smiled
"Well...maybe I should go out more often?"Arizona joked, her body still recovering from the orgasms the American's tongue and fingers had generated.
"I find you ...irresistible" Callie replied softly as she brushed a strand of blonde hair away from Arizona's face. It was true that she couldn't keep her hands off the Brit, but she also wanted to show her girlfriend that what she maybe lacked in experience she made up for in enthusiasm.
"Is your ankle ok...you didn't put any weight on it?" The physio asked as she placed a hand on Callie's back and smiled as the American shuffled a little closer.
"No it's fine." Callie replied "the tablets are kicking in...look the swelling has really gone down" The striker said as she pulled the blanket back showing her long golden leg.
Arizona's eyes widened at the glorious sight of the sexy long leg and her hand instantly touched the American's thigh.
"God...I can't get enough of you Calliope Torres" Arizona admitted as her hand slipped down the smooth thigh and gently brushed over the American's mound. Callie's body twitched at the touch
"Too soon?" Arizona asked with a smile
"I'm still recovering. Watching you come is my new favourite thing in the world!" Callie had come undone herself from hearing and seeing Arizona's body respond to her touch. It was such a turn on when the Brit moaned that she was coming, the swearing intensifying as she got nearer and nearer to release.
Arizona closed her eyes and breathed in the Latina's scent. "You always smell so good" the blonde said softly as her ran up and down the brunette's arm and placed gentle kisses on Callie's neck.
"Errr have you smelt me after training?" Callie laughed.
"Trust me...I spend a lot of my time around sweaty people and you...you by far smell the best." Arizona paused "I though that about the first time I met you" the blonde added "you smelt of...Almonds." The blonde added generating a smile from her girlfriend.
"What else did you notice about me the first time we met?" Callie asked interested to hear what Arizona's first impression had been.
"Ohhhh I see where this is going..." Arizona chuckled "is someone fishing for some compliments!" She said smiling as she kissed Callie's nose.
"Maybe" Callie responded "I mean what girl doesn't like complements?"
"True." Arizona said thoughtfully "OK well honestly, the first time I saw you in person, I thought you looked like you hadn't slept for a week" Arizona chuckled "but you still smelt good!"
"Ha, you would be right there I was wreaked." Callie admitted "The deal had all gone through so quickly. Everything had been such a whirlpool. I was shattered."
"Yeah but you looked sexy in your Spurs tracksuit". Arizona added with a cute dimpled smile.
"Really?" The brunette gave her girlfriend a look of disbelief.
"Mmm hmmm. Hands down the sexiest person ever to wear the colours for sure." Arizona added.
"Now you're just being polite in that super English way of yours." Callie replied
"My what?" Arizona said with a laugh giving Callie a funny look.
"You know what I mean, you are SO English, like you could be in an episode of The Crown or Downton Abbey."
"You are kidding right?" Arizona laughed "I'm from Kent via Barcelona!"
"No! Seriously I find it...cute." Callie insisted.
Arizona ran her hand through her hair "Great so you're super sexy despite not having any sleep and I'm...cute!"
"Hey! cute is good. Cute is butterfly time." Callie said in a reassuring voice
"It is?" Arizona asked unsure
"Definitely!" The American replied "Like the other day, when you wore your hair up in braids. Wow. Serious butterflies." Callie paused and her toned changed to slightly more serious one "It's like you have no idea the effect you have do you?" Callie responded as she held the blonde's gaze.
Arizona smiled and blushed slightly at Callie's words "OK well in that case I'll accept cute, but for the record...I can do sexy as well!" Arizona said.
"Oh I know you can" Callie chuckled as she kissed her girlfriend before adding in a whisper "I love sexy Arizona!". Callie smiled as the two lovers kissed as she felt the physio's hands roam over her naked body which had now recovered and was ready for more fun.

Eventually they made their way upstairs and after they had cleaned themselves up from their love making session, they got dressed and discussed dinner.
"You're not feeling nervous about tonight are you?" Arizona asked as she got ready. "Because you really don't have to be."
"I'm OK. They both seemed really nice" Callie said as she thought back to how Arizona's dad had picked up on how his daughter reacted tonthe dinner invite. They were clearly a close family.
"They have their moments...you know, when they are not walking in on me having sex. I mean after this morning, the ice has definitely been broken!" Arizona said laughing.
Callie groaned "do you know what, sometimes I actually manage to forget it happened, just for a few seconds, but then it hits me all over again...your mum standing 10 metres away whilst your fingers were inside me...I mean that surely has to go down in the history books as the most embarrassing way to meet someone for the first time."
Arizona smiled warmly at Callie "yeah...it's pretty bad...but hey it could have been worse...I could have wearing a strap on!" Arizona said before bursting out laughing "now that would have been bad!"
"Ummmm I'll have to take your word for it." Callie responded slightly embarrassed at her lack of sexual experience having never even seen strap on in real life let alone used one.
"Anyway..." Callie said keen to get off the subject of sex toys "When I told Jess what had happened she literally couldn't stop laughing for at least five minutes."
"You spoke to Jess?" Arizona asked "is she OK?"
"Yeah she's fine. I ummm just needed some advice."
Arizona looked over at the brunette, and waited for more info, but Callie didn't seem to want to say what that advice was, so she didn't push it.
"So I know you were going to drive, but I really think I would be fine to walk to dinner, especially as you said it isn't far". Callie stated.
"I don't know Cal..." Arizona responded with her physio hat on.
"Purleeeeeese " Callie pleaded "I've hardly seen Deal yet and I promise to rest it when we get there." The brunette begged whilst looking at Arizona with her best puppy dog eyes.
"OK, but I'm strapping it up and we're getting a taxi back!". Arizona gave in, unable to resist those big brown eyes.
"Yay! Perfect." Callie smiled a big happy smile "I can't wait to see all the cute cottages. Oh, do we go past your school?" She asked excitedly.
Arizona shook her head "nope it's down the other of the town, we can drive there tomorrow if you really want to see it?" Arizona said
"Of course I do. And I hope your mom has got the photo albums ready."
Arizona groaned "you know what, all of a sudden I'm not feeling soooo good." Arizona responded at the thought of and embarrassing trip down memory lane.
"Oh is that right?" Callie said as she came over and placed her hand on Arizona's forehead "Hmm maybe you need to see a doctor. Oh Wait! Isn't your mom one? Well that solves that problem then." Callie said smiling as she wrapped her arms around Arizona's waist and dipped in for a kiss.

Callie had insisted they stop and buy some flowers before deciding to walk along the seafront.
"Oh my god...it's fucking freezing!" Callie had yelled as the chilly wind hit her as she blew into her hands.
"Here..." Arizona said stopping and turning to face Callie before picking her hands up and rubbing them together to try and warm them up. As they started walking again Arizona smiled at the fact that Callie had held onto one of her hands.
The promenade was pretty empty with just the occasional cyclist and dog walker braving the cold. Most people were sensibly wrapped up warm inside their homes.
Arizona pointed out where a couple of her friends had lived and the doctor's surgery where her mum had worked.
"Maxie?" A male voice called out in their direction causing Arizona to turn and look who had used her old nickname. At the same time she felt Callie drop her hand as if it was a hot coal.
"Billy?" Arizona asked unsure as she took a step nearer to get a better look. "Oh my god...Billy!" She yelled excitedly as she warmly hugged the 6ft 4 tall man with a big bushy beard.
"I walked past and I thought I recognise those dimples" the man said as he stepped back and looked at Arizona.
"Oh my god...what's it been?" Arizona asked shaking her head in disbelief
"Jeeez probably 18 years" Billy responded smiling broadly at the blonde. "You look great Robbins"
"Thanks! You've umm grown" the blonde laughed as she looked up at her former childhood friend. "What...what are you doing here? Mum said you'd emigrated to Sydney years ago."
"Yeap full blown Aussie now mate. Unfortunately, the old man isn't so good, cancer, so I've come over to help mum out." Billy explained
"Oh Billy I'm so sorry to hear that. Please send him my love, and your mum of course" Arizona said as she remembered Billy dad who have driven them to football games.
"Sure."Billy smiled softly "and what about you and your umm friend?" Billy said nodding to Callie who was standing back pretending to mind her own business.
"Oh I'm so sorry" Arizona said turning apologetically to face Callie who reluctantly turned and faced the pair "this is umm..." Arizona stopped before the word girlfriend came out of her mouth. In any other circumstance she wouldn't have hesitated at introducing Callie as her partner, but this was different.
"Hi I'm Callie" the American said giving Billy a small wave with her hand.
Arizona was completely thrown and struggled to get her words out "umm Callie this is Billy...we umm played football together."
Billy laughed "Ha what Maxie kindly means.." he said directly his comment directly at Callie " is that she used to run rings around me and took pity on me."
"Hey you weren't THAT bad!" Arizona laughed
"She's also not telling you that I was her first love!" Billy said winking at his old friend before laughing.
"Oh shut up!" Arizona yelled as she gave her old friend a slap on the arm "we were like seven or eight. It didn't mean anything" Arizona laughed.
"I was eight and you were seven and three quarters and..." Billy paused for dramatic effect whilst trying to keep a straight face "it meant something to me" before the two of them burst into laughter.
Callie smiled along with the pair but deep down she was dying inside. Had Billy seen them holding hands...did he recognise her, why was Arizona still talking to him! Could this day get any worse? First Arizona's mum walks in on them and then someone spots them holding hands.
Arizona could sense Callie was uncomfortable and wanted out of this situation.
"Listen Billy...we have to go...dinner with the folks, but it was lovely to see you again." Arizona explained as she gave Billy a quick hug.
"Of course! Please say hi to your mum and dad from me. It ummm was nice to meet you Callie" Billy said smiling over at the American "that was a cracking goal you scored the other week by the care Robbins".
As they walked away Callie took a couple of steps to the side so that they were further apart and as Arizona reached down to take Callie's hand, the brunette quickly pulled it away.
"What are you doing?"'Callie hissed at Arizona as she looked back over her shoulder at Billy who was walking away "He knew who I was!"
"It's OK Cal, Billy won't say anything." Arizona responded in a reassuring voice.
"How do you know?" Callie snapped back "you haven't seen each other for nearly 20 years! "
"OK that may be the case, but I really don't think it's as big a deal as you are making it out to be, we were just walking together." Arizona tried reasoning with the brunette.
"You were holding my fucking hand!" Callie snapped back.
"So!" Arizona replied starting to get annoyed at how Callie was reacting.
"So? You're the one who is always so worried about their precious job". Callie said putting it all on Arizona.
"Yeah and you're the one who's still in the closet" Arizona responded angrily
Shit! Arizona thought to herself, instantly regretting her choice of words. Of course Callie was still in the closet, this thing between them was so new. She of all people knew what it was like going through the process of acknowledging new sexual feelings.
"Shit I'm sorry Callie!" Arizona said apologeticly "please will you just stop for a second" as reached out for Callie's arm who pulled it out of the way and gave a firm back off stare.
Arizona tried again
"I'm sorry I said that about being in the closet. That was unfair. I didn't mean it."
"Yeah...but a little you did!"'Callie said as she felt tears start to form in her eyes.
"I didn't. Not really...not in the way it came out." Arizona tried to explain
"Well clearly it's an issue for you that I'm not out...not experienced like you and Alex!"
"What's Alex got to do with this?" Arizona asked slightly annoyed at the mention of her name. She couldn't help the fact that she had been with other woman, in the same way Callie couldn't help the fact that she hadn't...it shouldn't be a big issue, but it clearly was.
Callie just stared back and shook her head at the thought of having to go to dinner with Arizona parents and pretend that everything was OK.
"Hey..." Arizona said softly trying regain her composure as she reached out for Callie's arm again, this time the brunette didn't pull it away. "I think we probably need to sit down and talk."
Callie nodded.
"Callie. I am truly sorry I said that. We both have a lot a stake here and I think we've maybe been too distracted with the physical side of the relationship that we've neglected the emotional aspects."
Callie remained silent.
"If this, us, is too much for you, then I understand" Arizona said her voice a little wobbly with emotion.
Callie looked over at Arizona and carefully thought about her answer. If she walked away now, she would have had some great sex and that would be that. She could finish her contract at Spurs and return to Miami and, with the exception of Jess, no one need know anything about her fling with Arizona Robbins. It could firmly stay in the so called closet!
But then she thought back to just that afternoon when they were lying on the sofa talking and those ocean blue eyes and how good the blonde made her feel. She felt safe and secure around her, and everything felt so easy. Was she really willing to walk away from that?
—-
Ohhh Arizona messed up big time here.
She should have know better, having taken a while to come to terms with her own sexuality. Callie is feeling the pressure now.
Are they too far apart in terms of where they are in their life journeys?
Is Callie is willing to take some risks and step out of her comfort zone? Or is it too much too soon? Maybe they need to take a step back, have some time apart to realise what is at stake. Would that be enough to bring some clarity?
Anyway, I really hope you don't mind me adding in some drama?
