Chapter Five
When Arizona left the bar she really didn't know where she was going and when she entered Callie's office that evening she didn't have any specific plan. She took the keys in a moment of craziness, but the more she held them in her hands, the more her head started working fast and faster. She didn't even know where Callie lived, but after snooping in her drawers she found old mail which was addressed to her home address.
Step after step she wasn't sure how she ended up in front of Callie's penthouse, but somehow she opened the door knowing that Callie wasn't going to be home anytime soon since Mark didn't give her any reason to think she would be coming home any time soon. She slowly hesitated going in, thinking how wrong it is to enter somebody's house without them being there. But she just needed some comfort tonight, somehow all the alcohol she drank earlier with Karev was now creeping into her head and making her all mushy and emotional.
She opened the huge red door that hand small gold trimmings on the edges, and a gold door handle. She wouldn't be surprised if it was actual real gold, Callie had very expensive taste, and she had an obsession with Coco Chanel. The brunette was always dressed from head to leg with Chanel business suits or dresses, her shoes though were strictly for Christian Louboutin's and if she felt like it Jimmy Choo's. So it wasn't a surprise to see the statement widely known red door of her house.
When Arizona entered the house she searched for a light switch and after having a little trouble finding it because of the many switches and the darkness, she finally found one that lit up the whole house. She was shocked at how down to earth and real it was, from what she immediately saw, which was the lounge: it was made up of two big beige couches which looked very comfortable, one could easily fall asleep on them the blonde thought, and one arm rest lone chair all huddled up around a fire place, with a flat screen TV right on top of it. The brunette had a mixture of light and dark colors all over the living room area, a big floor rug with a tiger and a small glass coffee table. Arizona couldn't help but imagine spending most of her time here.
She thought of date nights just cuddled up on the middle couch which she had claimed already as her favorite, drinking wine, reading books and making love to Callie near the fireplace. She had figured everything out just by seeing this part of the house. She walked to the kitchen which was what she could recall as Callie's earlier description of her dream kitchen because other than being an advocate she knew how much Callie loved cooking and trying out new recipe's, She has a red vintage looking fridge, the color scheme of the kitchen was definitely red and white, which she knew were Callie's favorite colors. She had all the latest stainless steel cooking appliances, Arizona wasn't even sure what most were used for.
She went up the white marbled stair case which lead to top part of the house, she went into the first door, which was Callie's study, there was a big pine oak dark chocolate office desk, with her laptop, and a couple of papers on top of it. There was also the usual stuff, such as the vast amount of law books, on every corner of the walls, and a leather couch at the right corner. She left the study, next to it there was a beautiful simple guest bedroom, it had simple color pattern of sea colors, on the wall there was a glass framed black and white picture of Lucia and Callie both laughing their lungs out, you couldn't even see Callie's face on the picture. She missed her laugh riots with Callie.
She entered the last door on the door across from where she was, which she knew was Callie's bedroom, she found it weird that there were only four doors whereas the top floor was really big, which simply meant that Callie had a mega-super-huge bedroom. By just opening the door Arizona could already smell her, a tear fell from her eye. She walked in, and everything was exactly what she expected. The room was clean in a messy way, the whole house was spotless, it was so clean one could eat off the floor, but Callie's room was messy in a busy kind of way. It was rich dark colors, just the brunette's kind of style, she had shoes all over the floor, clothes on the floor, clearly she didn't know what to wear when she left. Arizona picked up the clothes, she opened the closet door not realizing that it was a walk in closet, so she tripped and fell.
Picking herself up and cursing lightly when she looked up from the floor, she couldn't close her mouth. The closet was as big as the house, okay maybe she was exaggerating, but it looked like she just walked in a shopping mall. There was racks, and racks and shelves and clothes and clothes all designer clothes. Dresses had their own section, so did jeans, t-shirts, skirts, shirts, her blazers, but she couldn't see the shoe section. She saw a door to her left opening it, she felt like she was in shoe heaven. She knew Callie loved clothes and looking good, but this was something else.
She cleaned up Callie's room as a habit, distractedly she noticed something on top of Callie's dresser which had a mirror, and a small bench. There were framed family photos, one was her as a toddler caught putting on her mom's red lipstick , she remembered Lucia showing her that picture, Callie had sworn never talk to her mother after that day. Arizona laughed at the memory. Then there was her and her family on graduation day, and her fooling around with friends and then there was one of Callie and child that looked between the age of three and four, she looked like a young Callie clone. They were wearing pink underwear, Mickey Mouse t-shirts and Mickey ears, eating ice-cream and breakfast. Could it be that…
Tired and feeling the after effects of alcohol, Arizona took off her clothes got dressed in Callie's over worn sweats, she went downstairs opened the fridge and took a bottle of red wine, switched off the lights and sat on the couch and cried her eyes out. She felt empty after being afraid to admit it to herself for so long she knew that she messed up…big time After about an hour she heard the door open….she froze on the spot.
When Callie asked her what she was doing in her house, she gave herself a minute to compose herself, it was not or never.
"We need to talk Calliope." Arizona said looking Callie directly in the eye.
"Uh okay I hope you understand how freaky this looks right. You are sitting in the dark in a house that is not yours drinking MY wine, in MY couch" Callie looked at her from head to toe. "And from what I can see you are wearing my sweats?" she looked at her like she had three heads. "Are you mentally ill Arizona?" Cause what I'm looking at right now screams madness." Slowly backing away from her Callie made her way to her front door.
"I just wanted to talk to you please Calliope." She begged softly. "I haven't seen you in ten years and I know we left on a bad note but I -"
"Bad note?" she laughed loudly. "Did you install camera's in here? Huh Arizona? Did you come to bug my house so that you and your family can take more of my family's money? Is that why you came to New York? Is it because of money? Did you and daddy run out of money? Cause if you want money here" she said digging into her purse and taking out her cheque book, "How much do you want? Last time it was fifty million, how much will it take this time Arizona? Name your price and get the fuck out of my life" she said hand shaking being unable to write.
"Callie please, please stop" Arizona said now wailing in tears, "I made a mistake okay? Please just-" she cried
Callie couldn't believe what she was hearing, "I guess our definition of a mistake isn't the same." She scoffed. "What the fuck are you doing in my house? You went into my office without my permission, you took something that belonged to me, and now you are in my house, prancing around as if this place belongs to you. It wasn't enough that you disrupted my office, now you are in my house. I could call the police you know, you are trespassing on private property." Callie said looking at the phone.
"Where were you Callie these past two months? I have been worried sick about you." The blonde asked in tears.
Shaking in pure anger and hatred Callie coldly replied "You lost the right to ask me that question, the day you decided to use our relationship to ruin not only my career but my life. Now get out of my house and don't ever come back here."
