She's back ;) I hope you love it.
Previously on Giving into Temptation:
"She tried to kiss Arizona," Callie revealed.
"She what? They kissed?"
"No, she tried to but Arizona stopped her."
"Good girl Arizona."
"Mmm," Callie replied.
Mark looked at her, confused. "Torres, am I missing something here?"
"I'm just so annoyed that it happened. Some random woman has a crush on my girlfriend and that's annoying. She is MY girlfriend, that should mean something. I feel like it wouldn't hurt so much if it was a man, but women should know better," Callie hadn't let herself feel her anger but now it was hitting her like a train.
"You want me to make her fall in love with me and then I'll break her heart?" Mark said in all seriousness.
"No Mark, she's gay. But I love you for caring."
Mark pulled her in for a hug and held her tight. "You are my #1 Torres, don't ever forget it."
Callie laughed. "I'm perfectly happy to be #2 next to Lexie."
Callie continued down the hallway chatting to Mark, she felt a light buzz in her pocket to indicate a message. Pulling out her phone she was happy to see her girlfriend's name on her screen. Despite the drama from the past week, Arizona still created butterflies and shooting stars inside her. There was nothing quite like holding the blonde's hand, the feeling of her fingers intertwined with her own, a gentle kiss on her cheek, laughing together and talking about the future. With Arizona, it was the little things, the mundane, that made her feel the happiest.
A: Hello beautiful. I remember you mentioned you didn't have any surgeries this evening, if nothing has changed I would love to take you out on a date x
The Latina couldn't control the grin that took over her face, she looked up to see Mark smiling at her.
"Well it doesn't take a genius to figure out who messaged you does it," Mark laughed. All he wanted was for Callie to be happy, she deserved it after everything she had been through, and despite everything Arizona was great for her, they were like two pieces of the puzzle.
"She's asked me out on a date."
"What are you doing standing here telling me, reply to her Torres before a hot blonde whips her up!"
Callie scowls at him, not in the mood for any Lauren-related jokes.
C: You have no idea how much I want that. Where are we going? x
A: I've booked a reservation at Giovanni's for 8, I will swing by and pick you up at 7:30 x
C: Can't wait. See you later x
Placing her phone back in her pocket, she looks up and smiles at Mark. "She's taking me out tonight."
"Well, there you go Torres! Your girl is going to charm the pants off ya!"
Callie swats his arm, but she can't help the smile that has been tattooed on her face since Arizona's name popped up on her phone.
"I'll see you later Torres. Don't forget to get extra sexy for your date," he said with a wink as he walked into the attending lounge.
She carried on down the hallway in the direction of the cafeteria, her coffee hadn't quite satiated her appetite and she had been thinking about a cheese danish since she woke up this morning. As she ascended the stairs she heard a pair of footsteps behind her, looking over her shoulder as she took the next corner she realised it was Lexie.
"Hey Lexie, I'm going to assume you're not following me?" She smiles in jest as they both walk through the doors to the food haven.
"Erm, not quite. I did happen to see you talking to Mark and-"
"-oh! So you are following me?" Callie teases, grabbing her danish before joining the queue of people waiting to pay.
"No! No not at all, I just wanted to talk to you about him. Maybe get some advice," Lexie said sheepishly as she grabbed herself a cereal bar, lining up behind Callie.
Callie wasn't one to get involved in other people's relationships, but she did feel for the woman and she knew that Mark could be hard to read sometimes, especially when he has strong feelings of his own. She turned to face Lexie, placing a hand on her shoulder and holding her gaze as she spoke.
"Mark isn't a complicated man, but he does have a tendency to make things unnecessarily difficult. He really, really likes you, Lexie, so much so that he doesn't know what to do with all of his feelings." Lexie looked at her bright-eyed, a smile forming on her lips and a blush creeping across her cheeks. "He is scared, and I think it's going to take you being brave here to show him he doesn't need to be."
The intern looked down at her feet, thinking for a second before looking back up at Callie.
"You're right! Thank you so much, your reassurance was exactly what I needed to hear!" She replied, before bounding off towards the exit.
Callie reached the cashier and saw her scowling after Lexie, then realising she had left without paying.
"Add the cereal bar to mine," Callie said, holding out a five-dollar bill.
The cashier nodded, satisfied and took the money. Just as Callie grabbed her change, the pager in her pocket went off.
"911, fuck!" Callie muttered under her breath before running off towards the exit Lexie had left through moments ago.
As Arizona checked out her outfit in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She and Callie had spent most nights together since they started dating, but something about taking her out on a real, fancy date always made her stomach flutter.
She felt terrible about how things had gone with Lauren, the position Callie had been put in was unfair and she wanted to make it up to her. So she booked a table at her girlfriend's favourite restaurant and was thrilled to hear that she was available.
Callie had messaged her an hour ago to say that she had been pulled into the OR and was only just heading home, so Arizona pushed the reservation back half an hour, which Callie had been very grateful for.
Now the blonde was looking at herself in the mirror, uncertain if she was happy with her outfit. She had decided on a baby blue dress; the material was figure-hugging, tapered in at the waist giving her a great cleavage, it was held up by thin straps and stopped just below her knee. Arizona knew she looked good but didn't want to look like she was trying too hard. She had decided on a half-up, half-down style for her hair which she was very happy with. She spun around, giving herself a 360 view and nodded at the sight of her ass, the dress was a winner. Gold jewellery was added to make the look not so cutesy, a black clutch and heels would be the finishing touch.
Arizona wanted to make sure Callie felt special tonight. She was disappointed in herself for how she had been handling the Lauren situation, she should have called her out in the first place for being inappropriate, but instead, Callie did the heavy lifting and the blonde was feeling very guilty.
A: Leaving in 5 babe x
She grabbed her perfume and spritz herself, focusing on her neck and wrists mostly. Then she slipped her feet into the pair of black heels before stopping at her coat rack.
"Hmm, long coat or jacket. Maybe the leather jacket. Oh! Leather blazer, yes," she muttered to herself before grabbing the blazer off the hook and throwing it over her shoulders. One more check in the mirror before she left, and happy with what she saw, she left and headed for her car.
As she drove to Callie's apartment, her nerves were turning to excitement.
She pulled up outside the building and decided it best to message Callie to let her know she was there.
A: I'm here. I would normally come up and get you, but you'll want to jump me when you see my outfit so best you see me outside ;) x
C: Mmmm, sex outside, you are such a naughty one Dr Robbins x
Arizona chuckled at her girlfriend's reply, she could've gone up but her car was parked on the main road and she was also concerned that she would jump Callie the second she saw her, so this was just better all round. Opening the car door, she walked round to lean against the passenger side and wait for her date.
A few minutes later she saw the doors of Callie's building open, the brunette strutted out and Arizona felt her eyes widen at the sight of her. She was wearing a short, sleeved, black bodycon dress and black heels. Arizona felt her mouth fall open as Callie walked closer to her, her long, tan legs went on forever, her ass swaying as she moved.
"Wow," they both said in unison.
"You look incredible," Callie said as her eyes travelled up and down the blonde's body.
"Mm, speak for yourself." Arizona pulled her close, one hand immediately reaching for her ass as the other slid up her neck into her hair. "I missed you," she whispered before pressing her lips against Callie's. The kiss was slow, but passionate, their lips inviting each other in. Arizona couldn't help the moan that she released as Callie's tongue slipped between her lips. Their hands were all over each other, pressing their bodies close together as theirs tongues moved in sync, tasting each other.
"As much as I never want this to end, I would really like to take you out," Arizona giggled, pulling herself away slightly.
Callie groaned, her hand squeezing the blonde's ass before pulling away completely to take one more look at her.
"Fuck, I don't know what you expected when you show up here looking like this."
Arizona opened the door for her, slapping her ass as she got into the passenger's seat. She shut the door and felt Callie's eyes watching her through the windscreen as she walked to her side.
Once Arizona had pulled off and started to drive, Callie placed her hand on her thigh.
"I was so happy when I read your message today," Callie spoke honestly.
Arizona reached down to place her hand on top of Callies.
"I've missed you, a lot, and I wanted to show you how much I appreciate how you have handled everything recently."
Callie laughed. "What? Like a jealous girlfriend?"
"Well that was my fault, I really should have reassured you that there was nothing to be jealous of."
Callie turned her hand over to give Arizona's a squeeze.
"She knew what she was doing baby, she got the reaction she worked for."
"Well, enough of her! Tonight is about us, and our future." Blue eyes smiled at brown, their hands now intertwined.
They sat in silence for the rest of the journey, just holding hands and enjoying being together. Both of them taking sneaky glances to check the other out.
Once they were seated at their table, the waiter lit the candle in the middle of the table and filled their glasses with lemon water. Two menus were placed in front of them before they were told their waiter was called Leo and he would be serving them this evening. He told them he would give them a few minutes to look over the menu and would be back to take their orders. The restaurant was newly opened, it looked fresh and modern, the sound of gentle Italian music filling the room.
As Callie started to read the drinks menu, Arizona took the opportunity to watch her for a moment.
"I am not on the menu right now," Callie teased, looking up from the menu to see the blonde looking at her.
Arizona blushed. "How disappointing."
The brunette raised her eyebrow and narrowed her eyes, the darkness of the restaurant made her eyes look almost black and it was causing Arizona to have some feelings.
"What would you like?" Callie asked.
Arizona looked her up and down, her eyes resting on her cleavage for a moment before settling on her lips.
"From the menu," Callie clarified, laughing gently.
A pout formed on the blonde's lips before her eyes quickly scanned the wine list.
"Shall we share a bottle of Chardonnay?"
Callie nodded. "Perfect." She had a look over the food menu. "I like the sound of the lobster tortellini."
"Mmm, yes, I'm deciding between that and the risotto."
Callie glanced back over the menu. "Oh that sounds delicious too, well would you want to get both and share?"
Nodding in response, Arizona grabbed their menus and moved them to the side of the table before reaching for Callie's hands. They lock eyes across the table, and everything else around them fades away. They are in a universe all on their own, lost in the depths of each other's eyes. Both can feel the other's desire, but instead of lustful it is calm, gentle, and controlled.
Their moment is interrupted by the waiter taking their order, but their eyes lock again once he leaves.
Time stands still, stopping just for them. An eternity to enjoy each other's company. Arizona watching her, Callie being watched. Anyone could see the energy between them. It can be felt. Something surreal is happening at the table. To them, it is completely natural, existing at that moment in their own universe.
The waiter approaches, and without a word pours them the wine.
Arizona picks up her glass, Callie watches as she sips the wine. She notices and blushes, a shy smile slips out. Callie loves to watch her, a voyeur looking into a secret world. She smiles warmly as if to comfort her, it does. She begins to enjoy her gaze, soaking it in, feeling her eyes moving over her. From her eyes to her nose, cheeks and lips. The curve of her neck, slope of her shoulders. Her chest. Cleavage peeking out from her dress. Again, she blushes. This time so does she, before taking a sip of wine.
They barely notice the waiter as he places a bowl of olives and nuts in front of them. Callie watches her as she eats, bringing each morsel to her lips. She marvels at the pleasure she takes from each bite, her face amazingly expressive. Arizona gazes at her over her glass as she sips her wine. Knowing she is watching her, she slips an olive between her lips. Smiles coyly as her teeth crush the skin, exploding juices into her mouth. Callie's eyes darken as they watch her.
The dinner plates arrive, and they share each other's meals. Arizona's rich and heavy, Callie's lighter, bold. They eat slowly but heartily, sipping wine throughout. Eating in silence, they savour the unique yet complementary flavours, feasting off each other's forks until hardly anything is left. They continue on, refilling their wine glasses and eating slowly, just enough to keep the wine from going to their heads. Finally, their meals were devoured and appetites nearly satiated. Nearly.
A single dessert to share, a single spoon. Callie feeds her a small bite, creamy and rich. Arizona can't help but smile with pleasure at the sweetness, her innocence makes its way across the table, straight into her heart. How can she help but love her? Callie takes a large bite with the enthusiasm of a child, Arizona laughing quietly at her playfulness. Another bite for Arizona, larger than the first. Some is left on her lips, she planned that of course. Arizona knows it. She reaches toward her before she can raise her napkin, but her reach is not for her lips. She puts her hand softly on her cheek and leans toward her, Arizona leans in too. Callie kisses her softly, tasting the sweetness of the dessert mixed with the sweetness of her.
After what seems like an eternity, their lips part, slowly. If you were to ask them, they shared a lifetime in that one kiss over the dinner table. Their eyes sparkle, Arizona's blue with hints of gold, Callie's large, calm and dark.
With the bill paid, Arizona rises from the table and steps over to her, holding out her hand. Callie takes her hand and rises, letting her lead the way. They cross the room to the open door, and out onto the small patio. Tables outside are empty, the air still warm and the clear sky speckled with stars. The moon, nearly full, lights the path ahead of them. Arizona takes her hand in his and they walk towards the car, the moon lighting their way, their car the only one left in the parking lot.
Once at the car, Callie spins Arizona around, her back against the door.
"I love you, Arizona."
She pulls her in for a kiss, her lips soft and warm, the taste of wine still left on them. Arizona's tongue slips between her lips, teasing her. Their eyes closed, hands pulling each other close as the kiss deepens. Callie's kiss traces across her cheek, one hand sliding up into her hair to push her neck gently to the slide, her lips kissing up her neck. Arizona's heart was beating out of her chest as she felt Callie's tongue tracing the shell of her ear, taking the lobe between her lips and sucking down gently. Arizona couldn't stop the moan that released from her lips, Callie smiled against her neck as she continued kissing her way down, biting and nipping at the skin as she went.
"Callie," Arizona whispered. "Callie, please."
She gasped and moaned as Callie pressed her thigh between her legs. Her lips still working on her neck, sucking gently on her skin. Arizona starts to whimper as Callie's lips move back up her neck, nipping at her earlobe, her breath hot against her skin. She hushes her before pressing a kiss against the slope of her neck, her body moving away from her as her hand moves under her dress, tracing circles on her hip, slowly moving between her legs, painfully and achingly slow. Arizona is practically holding her breath as she feels Callie's fingers moving her underwear to the side, moaning at what she finds waiting for her as she slides one finger through her wetness. Arizona moans out again, the relief of being touched but not quite enough. Callie groans in response, low in her throat, and hitches Arizona's leg up slightly to get better access. She presses kisses at the edge of her hairline, under her ear so she can feel her breath against her skin.
She can feel everything right now, everywhere Callie is touching her, kissing her. Suddenly everything teasing is gone and she's pressing two fingers inside of her, deep. Arizona gasps and grinds down onto her fingers as she slides them in and out of her. Callie's thumb slides up to rub against her clit and a warm flushing sensation spreads low in Arizona's belly, down her thighs, her arms, up into her chest as whimpers escape her lips. Arizona is overwhelmed by her, helpless, grabbing and clutching at her forearm, her nails digging into her. Arizona grips onto Callie, feeling her legs starting to give up on her as her fingers curl inside her, her thumb rubbing circles against her clit. She feels her breath against her ear, whispering just one word.
"Arizona."
She shudders and comes with a gasp that catches in the back of her throat as she throws her head back, body arching as Callie holds her tight and murmurs things in her ear she can't even begin to comprehend right now. Her fingers work her through her orgasm until she groans softly and relaxes the grip on her arm, hands falling limply by her side. Arizona is panting for breath, body burning hot as clutches the woman in front of her. She can't stop shaking. Callie leans in, brushes the hair away from her neck and presses a kiss there, lingering.
"You okay?" Callie whispers after a moment.
Arizona lets out a choked laugh, nodding weakly.
"Hmmmm."
When she can muster the smallest amount of energy she pulls Callie closer, kissing her lips gently.
"I love you too."
