Three weeks later
"I don't think this is really necessary ." Callie commented as both women watched George who was now up on the ladder , installing a surveillance camera at the back alley of the coffee shop . Was it necessary ? To Arizona , yes . But Callie , whom still didn't know a thing about the threat had a different opinion .
George wiped the sweat on his forehead using the back of his hand , as he turned around to his boss and the girlfriend . Today he was in his dark blue polo shirt , looking very casual than any other day . George O' Malley , it was very rare for Callie to see him without his suit and tie . George looked at both Callie and Arizona , apparently asking for an approval to continue with his work . The two lovers seemed to have different opinions regarding the installation of the security camera around the shop .
"Just continue installing them ." Arizona looked up to George , nodding before she turned her attention on her girlfriend . "It's for security purpose , babe . And George is here too , he can installs 'em for you . For free ."
"But the cameras and the equipments aren't free . This going to cost me a great amount of money ." Callie shook her head . "God , with the way you thinking .. How the hell you managed to handle such a big company ."
Arizona glared at her girlfriend while George started to giggle up there . "It's normal to gives out some money before you can actually earn its profit . It's called an investment for better future ."
"How do I earn my profit with surveillance cameras ?"
"For example , if any of your worker isn't really that honest … You can catch it on CCTV . That is the purpose of .."
"No , I trust my workers . And I only owned a small coffee shop , not a freakin' Starbucks . I don't think I need cameras ."
"Calliope , people has to pay me for my advice regarding business stuffs . And now I am giving a free advice for you , my girlfriend . Just listen to me , okay ? These cameras are for you and your workers safety ." Arizona carefully switched her gaze to George . Even to these days , she was still wearing the blue shoulder sling . The only thing she had lost were the crutches . Yep , Arizona had stopped wearing those crutches earlier than the doctor's order . She was supposed to return to the hospital again to get her legs checked the day after tomorrow . Whether she no longer needed the crutches or no , it would all be decided by Dr. Minnick in another two days but she already threw the sticks away for days already .
And Callie wasn't happy at all . But that was what she got , dating a stubborn woman like Arizona .
"You don't want to wait until someone rob your shop before you have your own surveillance camera ." Arizona casually let the her view out .
"Now my shop is jinxed , thanks to your words ." Callie rolled her eyes . But at the end of the day , Callie gotta admitted that the blonde had a point .
"Let's stop breathing down George's neck and go inside ." Arizona suggested . She was tired of standing , actually as her left ankle felt sore sometimes .
It had been three weeks . George and his team hadn't come up with a new lead . Whoever that threatened Arizona , she definitely was lying low right now . And Echo , George had her checked and followed even until today but her movement seemed to be ordinary . Nothing suspicious . And from the trailing job by George , Arizona just found out that Echo was actually working with a family of a minister in Pennsylvania . She was the bodyguard of the minister's wife . And if that wasn't all , Arizona had also found out about Echo's dirty rendezvous with Karen Schubert , the wife of minister Steven Schubert . That was a leverage for Arizona . Unnecessary but might needed , one day . And that was just a prove on how excellent George's job on finding out about things . Well , George wasn't the only one that deserved the praise . Ryan , her P.I deserved it too . The Australian man was the same person that helped her tracked Callie down months ago .
As both women walked hand by hand before appeared themselves from the kitchen , they were greet by the workers and also Lexie . Arizona's gaze fell on the couch just below the staircase , signaling Callie to stopped by that couch .
"Are you okay , honey ?" Callie helped Arizona onto the couch before she knelt right in front her girlfriend . Callie slowly took off the blonde's shoes , revealing the black ankle support she was wearing . "It still hurts , isn't it ?" Callie looked up , worried .
"Just a little . I stood for too long , I think ." Arizona was cringing as she carefully stretched her legs .
"I told you , you still need those crutches ." Callie nagged .
"I walked like a robot with those things ." Arizona defended her action . "I'm okay already . Like I said , I stood for too long ."
Callie could only shook her head . She was still kneeling and that was when Arizona extended her hand , reaching for the bronzed hand , asking the Latina to take a seat next to her .
"I'm thinking about putting up the CCTV's monitors in your loft . Turn the loft into an office of yours , maybe ?" There was a question mark behind every words the blue eyed uttered but the tone was a little commanding in Callie's ears .
"You know that you are being very bossy today ?" Callie's eyes darted into the blue eyes . "With my bed up there , I don't think the place is suitable for any more extra furniture ."
"Just trying to improvise things ." Arizona winked . "Let's just clear the loft and make it your office , your place to do the work ."
"Arizona … What are you actually suggesting ?" Callie narrowed her eyes . There was a small wrinkle on her nose as she did that puzzled expression . It was cute , in the eyes of Arizona .
Pale hand moved as it reached for the Latina's hand , it was a look that filled with hope the blonde was giving . "I would like you to move in with me , Calliope . I want us to be near to each other . I want to be the first person to look at your face in the morning ."
"No matter how my face looks like in the morning …?" There was a pause , Callie wanted to smile to every words Arizona was giving her but she was a little bit afraid . Moving in ? Wasn't it too soon ? Was this even real ?
"No matter how you look like in the morning , I don't care . And I also know for sure that I want your face to be the last one I see before I fall asleep every night ." Arizona spoke sincerely , with all her heart . "Please , move in with me ?"
"I .. I .. Wait , are you sure you want me in your house all the time ?"
"I've never been as sure as right now . I want you to be near me . I want .. I want us to live together . Heck , I want to mar— .." Arizona looked down on her injured arm . She definitely wouldn't propose to Callie right now . The proposal shouldn't be like this , it wasn't what she had imagined at all . So , the blonde just swallowed her unfinished word in . "Let's live together in one house ."
"I .. I would love to move in with you , but only if you don't mind . I don't want to invade your personal space . I mean , we are still new .."
"Calliope , I love getting invaded by you ." A dimpled smile appeared , it was sweet enough to lit up the room . And to shut the brunette's mouth . "Let's pack your bag right now , I will help you ."
"You want to help me ? Look at yourself ." Callie teased as she stood up after Arizona whom had quickly made her first step on the staircase .
"I will get rid of this tomorrow . Come on , you have two bags to be packed ." Arizona winked as she raised her index and middle fingers up .
"Two bags ?" Eyebrows furrowed , Callie asked .
"Yep , two . One for the stuffs you wanted to bring to my house . The other one , for our vacation ."
"Wait , what vacation ?"
"You agreed to move in with me , I thought we should celebrate it somewhere .. Just the two of us ." Arizona replied nonchalantly . She had been looking forward to take Callie out of the country and now seemed to be the right time . Truthfully , she had been practicing on how she should ask Callie to move in with her . And now that they already passed that , Arizona felt like she could breath a little bit lightly than before and a vacation was a perfect plan for them , right ?
"Vacation to where ?" Callie was excited by the idea .
"No idea . We'll figure it out ." Arizona said as she climbed the rest of the stairs .
"This sounds fun ." Callie took a moment to let her gaze fell on her cheerful girlfriend . Arizona was different … She was lighter , happy , talkative these days … She was .. healing . Callie smiled as she thought to herself but seconds after that she heard the blonde's voice again .
"Chop chop , Torres !"
Me : I would love to hear all of your opinions regarding JCap's leaving .. Honestly , I am sad with her departure but I know that TV show comes and goes everyday .. Some of it got cancelled , some of it got renewed , some actresses leave , some actresses stay .. But still , I thought that one day Shonda would reunite our #Calzona .. I guess , that dream got crushed already . Now it is up to us to make sure #Calzona alive on Fanfiction .. And thanks for some of your opinions about my ex and what to do .. I am giving her chance to be my friend as she requested .. But I am distancing myself from her to make sure that I don't make any unnecessary contact with her .
And to the person that PM me , ask me how was I doing lately .. And worried about my sudden less talkative section below here .. As you may see , I have got less things to write at the bottom of chapter .. That means I am simply happy with my life nowadays : ) No worries , I am not depressed or going through some phase ... Sometimes , I babbled less here because I'm busy .. And the time that I have just enough for me to update a new chapter without any rambling lol ... Thank you for being such a caring reader , though .
